Five Go Mad on Mescalin
Prismark1025 July 2021
It's the second series and it is also a sequel to Five Go Mad in Dorset.

The Famous Five and their big appetites go to stay at Mrs French's farm. A rich American and his spoilt son makes the tone vulgar as they seek to buy everything up.

The Famous Five receive news that queer old Uncle Quentin has escaped from prison.

Dick meets a beautiful temptress (Candy Davies). Then they figure that something odd is happening in Love Island, it seems to be full of the beautiful people searching for the summer of love.

However the Famous Five are shocked to see a few familiar faces on the island.

Back in 1983, most people would not know what Mecasline was.

It was nice to see The Comic Strip revisit the parody of Enid Blyton's characters. It was not as funny as the first adventure.

This one lacked freshness but it does come with added dope.

Rather spookily. A few days after I posted my review. Candy Davies who specialized at playing blonde bimbos in the early 1980s died. She later reinvented herself as a crime writer.
