No Pip or Jane were part of the Famous Five or Secret Seven.
(There was a Janet though... which is close.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Seven
"The Secret Seven consists of Peter (the society's head),
Janet (Peter's sister), Pam, Barbara, Jack, Colin and George"
None of those names rings a particular Bell!!
They were fairly standard names for books of that time. In my
head I had a John in there and no George, as I thought George
was only in the 'Famous Five', but I knew there was no Pip or
Jane.
.... and wasn't that 'George' an early 'transsexual' (Can I use that
term, now, when referring to a character of that period??) character,
real name 'Georgette' or some such??
Try again...
Hint: Doctor Who writers.
Yes, I knew that .... just trying (and FAILING) to make other
connections.
There was a Jane in children's books, those educational ones
they had in schools with numbers as the books got harder to
read.
Are you talking "Dick and Jane" books?? No Dick (character name) in
"Doctor Who" is there?? YET!!
