Secret Seven – Did the Seven Have a TV Show?

January 1, 2018 – Darren says: Curious to know, but the 1976 editions from Knight have front covers that depict real people, as though it were a TV show (aka the Famous Fives 70s covers). But can't seem to get information on this. Any idea? Was it just staged pics? Thanks!
Daisy says... Daisy says: As far as I know I don't think there was a Seven series like the Famous Five TV series, Darren. So maybe the front covers were staged. You could always put your question to our sister site. Enid Blyton Society
September 24, 2020 – Arka says: Darren, I am afraid that there is no T. V. Show on the Secret Seven, as Daisy has said. But, though I don't like The Secret Seven books very much (except The Secret Seven Adventure and The Secret Seven Mystery), I would at least, like to watch a show based on it, if it is made properly. The way The Famous Five series was made, if it would be similar to that, then I would not watch it. I hate the way they ruin her beautifully written books. I wish, someone would make a serial properly, so that people like us could enjoy it!
Daisy says... Daisy says: I never said there was a TV show of the Secret Seven, Arka.
September 24, 2020 – Arka says: No Daisy. I meant to say that The Secret Seven has got no show, which you have already said. Apologises as my auto correct changed the meaning of the sentence and I did not go through the paragraph that I have written, again. Darren, I think the reason there are pictures of real people in the Knight covers is to make the cover of the book more attractive. Like Find-Outers, though there is no serial made on it, but some publishers have pasted real children finding clues on the cover. I hope now it is clear to you. P. S. In the Wikipedia of The Secret Seven, I found this: The first ever stage adaptation based on The Secret Seven opened in Chester at the city's new Story House Theatre from 1 December 2017. It received good reviews.
