108. Five and the abduction in the ski area

From a distant relative, Joyce Gilmor, the five friends are invited to Scotland in a ski resort. There operates Joyce Gilmor, who has separated from her husband recently, a small pension. Quick Julian, Dick, Anne and George make friends with Joyce's son Fin and spend a few hours of fun on the slopes. But after a lunch Dick gets a sudden stomach cramps ...

An endless relationship seem to have five friends, even in the 108th episode, they learn there again someone new to know. But whereas at the beginning of Famous Five and the abduction in the ski resort, the arrival is described broadly, deals with the tense situation in Gilmor family after the parents' separation and the first skiing attempts are made, the real action remains well on track. The plot is very slow to start, you do not really know where you stand here, but soon has an idea what all boils down to something obviously is the first track laid. Despite the long introduction the story remains somewhat bloodless, even the later, quite fascinating narrated scenes can completely convince. Perhaps, because after long, fruitless investigations then too much wanted at once towards the end and turn told too quickly. Well, I like the dark atmosphere of the plot, the more serious acts than other episodes of the series.

Timo Sünnemann can be heard as a Fin, who quickly befriends the five friends. It can be credible in that role and can speak quite alive the individual passages. Gerlinde Dilge speaks his mother Joyce and puts a very endearing and motherly way on the day, but can transport suitable also other emotions. Maureen Havlena can act entirely appropriate in the role of a ski instructor Molly, exaggerating in a scene at the end but still something. Other speakers include Patrick Bach, Stephen Schwartz and Stefan Pater.

The acoustic production of the consequences is based on the standards of the series and plays as in the scene changes a number of different melodies, which were quite well chosen for the action and reflect the particular mood. When it comes to noise it but could still hear a little more quietly, watching the scenes on the slopes are a bit sterile.

In as always brightly colored clothes Julian, Dick, Anne and George rush to match the theme of the story a snowy hillside down. The background is decorated with many picturesque mountains, while in the winter mood apparently also a Christmas tree, including several lights may not be missing, even though the festival of love is not mentioned in the radio play.

Conclusion: At first slowly told, after the successful midsection but include some short told endings to. The well-chosen theme and the mood between the characters are well represented positive aspects of the radio play that outweigh total.
