The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair (1990 BBC Special) Review

The title card of the BBC Adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia, consisting of the title in gold, against swirling brown clouds
Today, we're looking at the final part of the BBC's The Chronicles of Narnia, 1990's The Silver Chair. This adaptation has been a thrill ride so far, in terms of visuals and that legendary score by the late, great, Geoffrey Burgon. I hope that isn't any difference in the final part!

As always, here's some screengrabs, so you can see some of the program.
The special's title card, with a car driving past a flowery field.
A young boy flies over Narnia, landing at the other side of the land.
A young girl with long hair, straight bangs, and a short olive-green dress flies across Narnia, in a similar style to the boy
The girl flies over a castle
The two fly on owls in the late night hours
A dragon breathes a fireball on a Narnian hill
A stone figure holding a light
The Silver Chair
The ending screen of the final special, Aslan, the lion, roars, while the title appears, alongside a copyright disclaimer
This one was a fitting conclusion to this wonderful adaptation of Narnia. The music was once again really good, the acting was really excellent, and the costumes and puppets are pretty good for a BBC production.

The Chronicles of Narnia (1988-1990) overall was a really great adaptation, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Once again, Thanks to K. Nakanishi for uploading the full series to YouTube.
