The Chronicles of Narnia (TV series)

The Chronicles of Narnia was a BBC television series that adapted the by C. S. Lewis, adapting the first four books across three series.
Apart from sharing a handful of people in common with Doctor Whos production, the two series also shared a loose crossover of sorts.
== Crossover ==
Narnia, as it appeared in the series, and the DWU briefly cohabited a story together in the form of the 1998 charity programme, Future Generations, a short film created to commemorate fifty years of BBC children's programming.
The story starred a little boy who walked through different locales and interacted with various characters from BBC children's programming, whilst reciting a story about how the corporation came to start making such programming and how it continues to do so. A short while after a scene in which the boy exits the Doctor's TARDIS to find a pair of Daleks outside, the boy is seen entering the wardrobe into the snow-covered Narnia forest, where he encounters The White Witch. Upon noticing his presence, the Witch angrily responds by using her magic powers to make him disappear.
The scene was created through the employment of archival footage of Barbara Kellerman's performance as the character from the first series, with the boy's shots being newly-filmed.
== Connections ==
The series musical score was composed by Geoffrey Burgon, who previously provided the incidental music for Terror of the Zygons and The Seeds of Doom.
Richard Dempsey, who played Peter, the eldest of the Pevensie children, in the first two series, would go on to play Tsar Nicholas II in The Power of the Doctor.
Aslan the lion was voiced by Ronald Pickup, who played a physician in The Reign of Terror and had various voice roles for Big Finish.
Other actors with roles throughout the series included Maureen Morris, Warwick Davis, Kerry Shale, Jill Goldston, and Keith Hodiak.
