ABCs "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe"??

[Jonathan Ruskin]

Hi all,

While purusing a site about the early history of ITV, I came across a mention of a 1967 ABC serial of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." All I could find out about it thought is that it ran for 10 episodes. Does this serial still exsist? This is something I would do just about anything to see! Being a fanatic about early British tv and of the Narnia books, this sounds like heaven! Any info greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Jon ([e-mail])

There's a five-page article about the series in issue 17 of "Time Screen" magazine.

Unfortunately the issue's not one of those available online at www.the-mausoleum-club.org.uk/timescreen/Index%20Page/index.html

...but you can order it from here, apparently:

I remember the serial myself. Very atmospheric it was too. Although that Timescreen article seems to be suggesting that the programme was put into the archives, only a couple of episodes seem to have survived. Officially at least.

Kal 1895 says ep 1 and 8 are on TR16.

Those are the two, yes.

There was a documentary some years ago on the BBC called" Past Watchful Dragons" which included various clips from missing episodes in it.
