"The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe" is a ten-part serial adaptation of C. S. Lewis's fantasy novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, that aired on ITV in 1967 ["TV Times, No. 610, July 6, 1967", page 22 - (and subsequent issues). TV Publications Ltd, 1967] .

Background

The series was produced by Pamela Lonsdale and adapted for television by Trevor Preston. Original music was provided by Paul Lewis and the programme, and the costumes, were designed by Neville Green. The programme was made for the ITV network by ABC Television. The animals were all portated by actors in costume unlike the later BBC adaptation where, for example, Aslan was animated with the actor providing the voice only. Only two episodes, the first and eighth, are known to exist [Down, Richard: "The New Improved Guide To Telefantasy Transmission Dates And Archive Holdings", page 72. Richard Down, 1992.] .
