The stories that did get produced were part of the 'Wonderworks' series of children's programming. It was a sad day in the PBS system when Wonderworks got cancelled. As time had gone on, the production values had been improving on the BBC CON adaptions. 'The Silver Chair' is my favorite, and the last production.

All my copies of these shows are on beta tape. I need to fix my beta VCR (capstan intermittently runs way fast) so I can watch them again. Also missed a chance to have the shows on professional 1 inch tape, which looks far better than beta, VHS or DVD :-( (and my 1 inch machines are working!)

BBC only made 3 of the Narnia books into films:
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Silver Chair, and Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader were made into one film.
BBC never attempted the other three (The Magician's Nephew; The Horse and His Boy; and The Last Battle. They claimed it was "too hard to do" (meaning the cinematography, effects, etc.), but rumor (still) has it that they were "too spiritual/Christian".
I can see why they thought that LB was "too spiritual/Christian" and sort of see why they thought that MN was, but I'm at a loss (alas) to see why they thought HBB was....

PC/VotDT were made into one (see above!)...so technically it is only three movies..:)
