Return to Narnia is a nostalgic documentary that reunites the cast and crew of the BBC’s classic The Chronicles of Narnia adaptations nearly four decades after their original broadcast. Featuring interviews with almost 30 contributors — including all four Pevensie actors — the film revisits key filming locations, explores childhood memories from the set, and reveals how the beloved series was created with ingenuity despite limited resources. Cast and crew reflect on the challenges of bringing C.S. Lewis’s world to life, the production decisions that shaped the adaptations, and the lasting impact the series has had on fans and on their own lives. Blending behind-the-scenes stories, archival material, and warm reunion moments, Return to Narnia celebrates the enduring legacy of the BBC’s Narnia and the timeless magic that continues to draw audiences back through the wardrobe.

Family and colleagues remember the Doctor Who producer. In 1977, Birkenhead-born first-time producer Graham Williams took over one of the BBC’s most famous shows, Doctor Who. His turbulent three years in the role saw clashes with star Tom Baker, budgetary nightmares and catastrophic industrial action – but also the highest viewing figures the programme has ever achieved. Graham died in 1990, aged just 45, leaving behind a wife and three young children. In this intimate new film, Graham’s family, friends and colleagues look back on a life of darkness and light.
