Synopsis:
Home for the holidays, the 'Famous Five' are given the news that their Uncle Quentin (a famous scientist) has been kidnapped yet again and. as usual, their Aunt Fanny can't wait to get them out of the way. Julian: Peter Richardson, George: Dawn French, Dick: Adrian Edmondson, Anne: Jennifer Saunders, and their dog Timmy, set off on bikes into deepest Dorset, a landscape of hidden lanes and ruined castles riddled with thieves burying treasure, or rendezvousing with suspect tight aircraft. And not forgetting the sinister gypsy: Robbie Coltrane, who's always there to scare passers-by.
From fifties English values to 'Five Go Mad on Mescalin', the Famous Five meets 60s flower power head-on when gay Uncle Quentin buys his very own 'Love Island' - a beautiful rocky paradise where he can supplement his scientist's pension with a bit of drug smuggling. But no, the priggish Famous Five have to go and spoil it all. 30 years on from 'Five Go Mad in Dorset's opening on the 1st night of Channel Four the Comic Strip reunite for 'Five Go to Rehab' to see how this self-righteous bunch have fared in later life. Not too good it seems. Julian and George, having had a rackety time, with failed marriages, bad business deals and lashings of vodka, are in rehab to dean themselves up for a planned reunion that Dick has organised. All three splendid Five...episodes are contained within this double set...with lashings of extras to boot!
