Re: The Cast of the BBC's Chronicles
I really think Camilla Power was well-cast (she's distantly related to Tyrone Power). I thought Tom Baker was great as Puddleglum, but I did not like the casting (David Thwaites) of Eustace because he did not fit my image of the book Eustace. Will P. does a much better job in the movie (even if he's not brunette... ). The LWW cast I did overall think was okay except I didn't care for how they cast Lucy, she acted well, but she didn't fit my image of book Lucy. The actors playing Peter, Ed, and Susan were good. I actually prefer the BBC Susan over movie Susan because she was more like my image of book Susan. Sam West was a great Prince Caspian. Young Caspian was just okay. Ronald Pickup did a good job as Aslan's voice. Warwick Davis was okay as Reep but I can't help laughing when I see him in that overpadded mouse suit. Richard Henders (Rilian) was fine. And the White Witch/Green Lady-Barbara Kellerman was excellent in both parts.

Re: The Cast of the BBC's Chronicles
I'm impressed with a lot of the actors who were in this show.
Camilla power as Jill pole will always be my number one favorite, she captured Jill so well! I love her.
The actors from the show who I mainly see all the time in films now and just doing really great is Samuel West who played King Caspian in VODT and Gabrielle Anwar who played Ramandu's Daughter. I see her all the time in Burn Notice and she was fantastic as the Queen in The Three Musketeers (1994 Disney Version).

Camilla power i thought, was a bratty Jill. Like when she said"I dont want a knife i want a sword." or something like that.

I think Jill was my favorite out of all the actors. I wasn't really a big fan of most of them though.

She wanted a bow and arrow
Anyways Jill was supposed to be a little bit bratty and annoying at first, she is that way in the book. I didn't like her character at first when I read the books but her character change throughout the SC and when she's in LB is amazing! She's trully my favorite.

^That's alright! I've been a Narnia fan for 19 years now and I still get the biggest and littlest details mixed up sometimes

Re: The Cast of the BBC's Chronicles
Yes and i think the movies do too. When Edmund says"whoa horsie" and philip says"my name is philip." Well if you go to almost the end of HHB, Bree asks Cor if he can give Cor a ride. Then Cor Says"i couldnt do that, except in war no one in Narnia would ever dream of riding a talking horse."

Re: The Cast of the BBC's Chronicles
^Yeah I remembered that too and something along the lines of him not wanting Cor to hang on to his mane or something and Cor had to ride him without holding on to anything except himself and his knees. I always felt bad for Cor when I read that and i wish BBC could have continued to make the narnia series so that we could have seen this portrayed.

Re: The Cast of the BBC's Chronicles
Camilla Power as Jill was grat! I think that someone like her should be cast in the new SC if it is made!
I wasn't too found of the pevensies either because although they seemed like good actors, they didn't seem like the Pevensies. Especially Susan...she was cool but she wasn't how imagined susan to be.
Eustace was funny as well, though I like the new casting better! I know someone who looks like the old Eustace
