LONDON -- Helena Bonham Carter will star as English author Enid Blyton, creator of children's books "Noddy," plus "The Famous Five" and "The Secret Seven" series in a BBC biopic.

"Enid," made by Carnival Films, part of NBC Universal, is among the tentpole shows of BBC4's fall and winter season, announced Thursday.

The author struggled to live up to the perfect worlds she created for children in her personal life. In 1942 she divorced her first husband, played by Matthew MacFadyen, to marry her lover (Denis Lawson).

"Enid" is one of four dramas depicting iconic women.

Helena Bonham Carter to play Enid Blyton in new BBC4 drama

By Nicola Methven 18/03/2009

Guess who's going to play Enid Blyton in a BBC4 drama about the children's author? OK, stop guessing, it's Helena Bonham Carter.

Sounds like she's pretty excited about it too... Helena (left) squeals: "It's a long time since I have read such a well-written script with as complex and fascinating a character as Enid.

"I hope I do her justice. And I hope I get to drink lashings of ginger beer."

Yay! I hope so too (and that Cook packs a whole ham for your picnic!) Now, tell Timmy not to lean out of the train, he'll get a smut in his eye... woof!
