| BBC Education: Look and Read |
| HTTP://WWW.BBC.CO.UK/EDUCATION/LOOKANDREAD/ |
| The BBC's official website for Look and Read, featuring a whole package of interactive, award-winning Shockwave exercises for the story Spywatch. There's also a preview (complete with spelling errors) of the forthcoming minisite for Word Master, which should launch in "Spring 2001". |

| The Look and Read Page |
| HTTP://WWW.TREMBIRTH.DEMON.CO.UK/LOOKREAD.HTM |
The original, and proper, Look and Read fan site on the internet is currently in its prime, with ever-expanding commentaries, descriptions and nice colour pictures from most of the stories from across the years. If you're looking for a nicely nostalgic look at the show, GO HERE NOW! Reading this site inspired me to make this one in the first place. Includes the theme from The Boy From Space.
There are links to the separate story pages at this site throughout LookAndRead.fsnet.co.uk. |

| Look and Read .cjb.net |
| HTTP://LOOKANDREAD.CJB.NET |

Brand new fan site launched in January 2001. The focus is on multimedia, with video downloads, picture galleries, music and covers for video cassettes. There's also a link to the author's Look and Read dubsite (check it out for further info). |

| TV Chronicles |
| HTTP://WWW.TVCHRONICLES.COM/KIDSTVL.HTM#LOOK AND READ |
This huge, fact-based site gives outline coverage of all the stories (in association with lookandread.fsnet.co.uk) and a little more detail on The Boy From Space, Spywatch and The Legend of the Lost Keys separately. I have used some of their info in some of the story pages here (fully credited, of course).

TV Cream  |
| HTTP://TV.CREAM.ORG/ARKL2.HTM |
|
Part of the massive nostalga site. Concentrates on the 70s and very early 80s bits of the show and goes through those stories. Includes the theme from Badger Girl. You have to scroll down from the link above, or for the proper framed version go to TV.CREAM.ORG and click 'L'. |
|
| The Novels |
| Most of the stories since the late 80s have been released as novelisations. Below are links for Amazon and the BBC Shop. They're cheaper from Amazon, but the BBC generally claim to have them in stock. Note that the BBC Shop links will be out of the frameset. |

WHEN LAST CHECKED, THIS LINK WAS BROKEN. BUT IT'S THE BBC SHOP'S FAULT, NOT MINE, COS WHEN YOU SEARCH THEIR SITE IT COMES UP WITH THE SAME URL ANYWAY.
