Here are a selection of photos taken during the making of Through The Dragon's Eye.

Unfortunately, the only copies I've got are in unbelievably terrible quality - blurry and distorted and the colours are all wrong. Hopefully, you can get over this and just enjoy them anyway!

There are some more pictures, though much smaller, along with all sorts of trivia about how the story was made, throughout the Story Guide on this site.
Of course, if anybody has a way to get better quality copies of the photos, or just can do some magical enhancements with their computer, I'd love to hear from them!




A Widget undressed - Sandra Nicholson getting zipped up in costume.


The Keepers - Boris (who would look orange if the photo was coloured right), Doris and Morris - in the Veetacore House.


Gorwen's been decapitated! This is what the dragon looks like without his head or upper body.


Sue Weeks and her assistants telling Amanda and Boris what to do in the Book Room. Technicians do their stuff in the foreground.


Boris, Scott and Rodey's head waiting on set to resume their hunt for the Arch of Brick.


Marlaine Gordon as Amanda and Nicky Stewart as Jenny, waiting about for something to do.


Timothy Lynn as Morris, posing with a larval Frug.


Amanda takes a break from chasing after the stolen Veeton to do a bit of cleaning.


Carolyn Pickles (Doris), Timothy Lynn (Morris) with a very small Frug, and Nicky Stewart (Jenny) without costumes or make-up (and almost without faces in this photo, too).


Scott has a go at directing the story as well as just being in it.


Peter Bonner, Chris Burke and (in the foreground) Sandra Nicholson - three Widgets without their heads on.


When Rodey takes his head off he becomes... a woman! Rodey puppeteer Katie Hebb without the head on, sitting in the commentary booth where Rodey's voice came from.


Rodey's got a bit lost on his way to the studio...


Technicians fiddling about with the stand that enabled Rodey to do his strange breast-stroke flying.


Director Sue Weeks teaching Amanda and Boris how to fly.


Gorwen makes his way back to Pelamar with the bag of Veetons, but first he has to fight off some sort of gigantic model-maker and some enormous lighting rigs.


This is how Gorwen manages to fly: he has two blokes standing either side of him pulling his wings up and down.


Charles Collingwood (the voice of Rodey) and Sean Barrett (the voice of Gorwen) waiting for their cue in the commentary box.


Unveiling the mural of Pelamar in the school playground.


Julie Stevens, Roger Limb and Derek Griffiths, ready to record all the songs for the story.


Roger Limb at work on the music for Through The Dragon's Eye in the Radiophonic Workshop. That's production assistant Jane Sprague sitting taking notes.


A little toy Gorwen (that green splodge in the bottom left) helps oversee the editing of the story.
