Some inconsistencies in the plot spoil the listening pleasure

Content:
Skiing holidays in the Scottish Highlands! Full of excitement to start the five friends with her new boyfriend Finlay to their first major departure. But then so something goes wrong. Is it just unfortunate coincidences or is there more to it? When one of them disappears, make the other on an adventurous quest, and thereby expose a big swindle.

Action:
Skiing in Scotland? In fact, this is possible and of course Julian, Dick, Anne, George must try together with the kläffendem Timmy necessarily. That in the Highlands another adventure is waiting for you and the vacation peace is soon over, stunned barely, but that the five friends are the only skiers are practically on the ski slopes, seems strangely unreal. General can be found at every corner of the script for "The Famous Five and the abduction in the ski area" by Katrin McClean again a high level of constructiveness. In addition, the first case is slow rolling. After then but eventually learned the snowplow and the slopes to be conquered, the actual case elements occur gradually to the surface. It hails suddenly blow by blow food poisoning, kidnapping on an open slope, real estate scandals and blackmail. For children this is all quite hard fare, yet manageable, because the voltage curve remains at a moderate level. Why is that? This is mainly due to a lack of empathy of the main characters, which makes the event seem artificial. Examples complacent? While Fin, this time companion of five friends going through a family crisis, the five friends for emotional hardly seem to care. Why the house blessing is crooked, is in any case no longer questioned. In addition, the young friends refrain turn the police what the disinterested young people not illuminate as well. Unfortunately, all this harm the authenticity of "The Famous Five and the abduction in the ski area", which due to the foggy-winter atmosphere and the detailed descriptions actually possesses characteristics and certainly sparked experience spirit in children. Unfortunately, knowing shrewd listener early, while the wind blows, because as so often a hint at the beginning of the radio play, the direction in the recent past and the case elements newly constructed on the final go-out resolution. Despite everything, it is also important to highlight the positive anomalies: The perpetrators remain in the menacing-misty mountain scenery in the background and long for the five friends undetected. That the investigators Quintet in phases determined independently, the radio play also gives an interesting touch. In the end the story in some concern is positive, to judge rather negative in other respects. There remains a whole with an average impression.

Speaker:
It is difficult to assess spokesman resentful when the roles ascribed to them simply no longer give as clumsy performances. In the present case, this means that kidnappers that occur mindlessly and where it already causes problems to kidnap the right people can spokesman technically hardly trump in the few seconds of their occurrence. In this respect, as is some speaker performance in "The Famous Five and the abduction in the ski area" unsatisfactory. In general, it is a pity that the protagonists do not go through the expectable emotional states. Kidnapped children seem to get over very quickly over this shock and as already mentioned above, the main spokesman Ivo Möller, Jannik end man Theresa Underberg and Alexandra Garcia show not just of their most sensitive side. However, this is due to the script first and foremost. To anticipate the remaining voltage for potential listeners not too much, are here with no mention of the role specification called only the names of some speakers, which "Famous Five and the abduction in the ski area" involved in in important supporting roles: Timo Sünnemann, Patrick Bach, Stefan Pater , Stephen Schwartz, Manfred Liptow, Maureen Havlena and many more.

Music and effects:
The studio Europe - with all due respect - one of the most conservative radio play studios in Germany, because the sounds used not much has changed over the years. Of course, Timmy barking now as then, but also birds chirping and engine noise sound-tried. As a listener may be no sound spectacle à la "Mark Brandis", "John Sinclair" or "Caine" expect, but the stories told to accompany appropriate, the effects satisfy all. The scores come loose easy therefore, contributing to Abenteurgefühl at. The underpainting thus falls below the line of zufriendestellend, but no longer holds completely with modern standards. A touch of nostalgia radio play makes up for this sometimes.

Conclusion:
In the end come at "The Famous Five and the abduction in the ski area" once again only series Romantics at their expense. Pure criminal friends are better off with more authentic cases in this and other radio dramas. On many a site of Katrin McCleans script to inconsistencies creep in and the bottom line is there are just too many of them to leave a completely convincing impression. In addition joins that the main protagonists occur supercooled emotionally. Thus, the usual feel-good atmosphere germinates only sparsely. Passable, the spokesman performance, something modern like it might go in the music and effects. All in all, this episode average goods and no particular bright spot in the long radio play.
