====1995 series==== {{Main|The Famous Five (1995 TV series)}} A later series, ''[[The Famous Five (1990s TV series)|The Famous Five]]'', initiated by [[Victor Glynn]] of [[Portman Zenith]] was aired first in 1995, a co-production between a number of companies including [[Tyne Tees Television]], [[ITV Wales & West|HTV]], Zenith North and the German channel [[ZDF]]. Unlike the previous TV series, this set the stories in the 1950s, around when they were written. It dramatised all the original books. Of the juvenile actors the best known is probably [[Jemima Rooper]], who played George. Julian was portrayed by [[Marco Williamson]], Dick by [[Paul Child (actor)|Paul Child]], and Anne by Laura Petela. In this series, because of the slang meaning of the word fanny, Aunt Fanny, played by Mary Waterhouse, was known as Aunt Frances. (In some but not all recent reprints of the book, the character has been re-christened Aunt Franny.) The 1995 series was released in its entirety on VHS video.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}} A three-disc DVD collection, containing 13 of the 26 episodes of the 1995 series, was released in Australia and New Zealand in 2005,{{citation needed|date=July 2014}} and is marked "Revised Edition" to avoid confusion with the previous release of the 1979 series with 1995 artwork. A complete edition of the series was released on DVD in Australia and New Zealand in 2016.<ref>https://www.ezydvd.com.au/DVD/Enid-Blyton-More-Adventures-with-The-Famous-Five/dp/6199102</ref> Other episodes have reportedly been released on DVD in Europe,{{citation needed|date=July 2014}} but only the adaptation of ''Five on a Treasure Island'' was released on DVD in the UK.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}}
