  • Developing the trend of having more involved stories in Look and Read
    throughout the 80s, this series finally did away with Wordy, along with
    the whole concept of separate learning bits. Instead, we get almost the
    entire programme taken up with telling the story, with just one quick
    song in the middle.
    The story itself was all-out fantasy, with three kids pulled into a mural
    they'd painted in their playground and asked to help save the dying land
    of Pelamar by retrieving the missing parts of its mysterious power source,
    the Veetacore. This involves a lot of trying to read difficult passages,
    and charging off round the neighbouring country of Widge, inhabited by
    the horrible furry little Widgets. The children are lead and helped by a
    flying dragon called Gorwen and a big talking mouse called Rodey (who
    inherited the arrogance and the voice - Charles Collingwood's - of Wordy).
    Until they succeed, Pelamar turns increasingly barren and its inhabitants
    just fade away to nothing. The situation is further complicated by the
    big baddie Charn, who wants to hijack the Veetacore for his own evil
    purposes.
    This unit is often dismissed when people look over the Look and Read
    canon due to its lack of teaching bits and, in particular, of Wordy. This
    is unfair, as the story is actually a nicely executed fantasy and, based
    on emails I've received, seems to be the most popular story in schools
    today. The story, by the way, seems to owe a great deal to the Chronicles
    of Narnia: Gorwen is Aslan, obviously, and Charn was the name of that
    dead world that Digory and that girl rescued that woman from in The
    Magician's Nephew. Well I can't really remember much about the book, but
    that world was definitely called Charn. Also, notice the large number of
    former Look and Read cast members reunited here: Charles Collingwood, as
    mentioned above, plus Dark Towers and Fair Ground! narrator Sean Barrett
    doing Gorwen's voice, and David Collings in his third Look and Read role
    (following twin appearances in Dark Towers) as Charn.

    This used to be my favourite programme as a 4 year old, watching each episode every week....but I never got to watch the final episode because I was sick and have always wondered what happened in the final episode. Now at the age of 28 I finally got to watch it. Thank you for uploading, you have filled a 24 year old void in my life.

    I remember this well from my school days. I know there are a few off key songs in there, but the storyline is just epic with lots of plot twists, and Gorwen was awesome. Definitively one of the best TV shows from my childhood, thank you so much for sharing!

    Bit Selfish how they get the children to help them mend the veetacore then immediately send them back to school.

    Where did the miniature veetons come from? If it was from the Veetacore then that would mean they destroyed wat the quest was to fix after fixing it.

    Our heroes race against time to save Pelamar from destruction and Gorwen the Dragon from death in the finale of Through the Dragons Eye.

    Is it me or does anyone else
    draw similarities between this
    and the Children's ITV series
    Into the Labyrinth. The children
    even get to keep a piece of
    crystal each. Similar or what ??!!!
    Does anyone else out there agree
    with me ????
