GWR - Five Go On Adventures

This is an update to my post from April 16, 2025, all because now we have the fifth instalment of the Famous Five Adventures on the Great Western Railway.

Five and the Dragon Quest

This can be found on YouTube, as can all the other four.

16th April 2025

I first noticed these wonderful short advertisements for the Great Western Railway at the cinema. The adventures of the Famous Five can all be found on YouTube or elsewhere on the net. They just take me back to when I was young, although Mother was very much against anything by Enid Blyton.

Five Go on a Great Western Adventure


The first of these short films was produced in 2017.

Five and the Missing Jewels


Following the success of the first episode came the next adventure in 2019.

Five Get There First


George's parents bid farewell to the gang in 2023, as they race them by car to their destination. Guess who wins.

Five and the Thrilling Engagement


Then this year came their latest adventure with a lost ring. The film is currently available in theatres and on television.

There might be another one in the series when I spotted an advertisement in The Sunday Times for "Five Steal the Show." However, it is only a teaser for "the wider campaign", which highlights unexpected destinations, including enjoying a show at the Royal Albert Hall.


The cover supplement of this week's Sunday Times magazine featured all the places you can visit on Great Western Railways' "The Line to Legend Land".
