Look and Read - Through the Dragon's Eye Part 1 of 2

[moonfeatures25]

I cant believe they made us watch this at primary school. This shits fucked up. Loved it though obviously, the theme song has been imprinted i remember it word for word :-)

[lucy798]

Jesus, i remember this...

[emupudding30]

What i love about these old programmes is that the make-up and special effects wern't perfect like today. It gave room for kids to use abit of their imagination.

[Aeryn717]

I have thought about this for a long time. Never knew the name, but just remembered bits from when I watched it at school. Wow, so lost for words! I FOUND IT :DDDDDDDDDDD

[steeviebops]

I always thought this was on ITV Schools on Channel 4... nonetheless the theme tune just gave me goosebumps! Hadn't heard it in 20 years or more!

[emz082009]

[rssagoo]

[kfunkdeluxe]

[asdreww]

Does anyone remember a bbc2 weekday mornings educational program for kids that featured 2 cats in an alleyway or something like that? Think there were 2 men in it also.

[ntvproductions]

[bizzyfingers]

No wonder our teachers never looked happy

[evilplanner]

(I loved this as a kid. I still do.)

[florgeysteve]

[rimmersgirl81]

ahh!!! this takes me back to my primary school days and going down to the tv room to watch schools programmes on either the bbc or itv schools on ch4!!! i just wish that more people would upload more bbc and itv schools on ch4 full length programmes so that people who grew up in the 80's and 90's can watch them and relive their childhood!!! does anyone know where abouts online i'll be able to watch full length 80's bbc and itv schools on ch4 progammes? as i have been dying to watch them!

[S9anky1982]

i loved this as a kid we did it at primary school when it was 1st shown in 1989

[Nottzuk1]

boris the bender

[Uberdude25]

I remember this from primary school, was much better than boring lessons.

Happy times : )

[jameswhite733]

Best two moments: 1. Charn awkwardly throwing the little girl over as he says "get out of my way!"

2. Charn throwing a rock at Gorwen's face

[plissken1973]

[vicious12394]

OMG i remember watching this in primary school. I cant believe that copies of this still exist, let alone me finding it.

[ahlicks1]

I have been trying to remember what this is for years! Whenever a conversation about kids tv comes up I always say remember the thing with the different coloured people one was orange and there was a dragon somewhere! Blank looks but haha! found it! :D

[ThisIsARickRoll]

[vickyruss1]

[JamesTCT]

Thanks for posting this, this is the only episode that I remmber so was so glad to see it again!

[Noodlesforflora]

You were a deprived child if you didnt watch this. I love it! But the magics gone : Charn looks crap! He used to be so scary! And it all seems kinda perverted :)

[Popsxxx3]

i always watched this :X)

[nate252]

WHAT THE FUCK

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

@nate252 exactly what i'm thinknig!

[alandavid48]

Shame the "...and Read" bit was lost on the revolting little sods I had the misfortune to teach. Still I could have a fag in the playground whilst my lot were comatose in front of this drivel.

[artycharr]

lol allways looked forwards to watchign this at school usualy after the teacher had enough of us being noisy lol

[FreakinSweet86]

I watched this as a kid in school lol. THE VEETAROD!!! that's all I pretty much remember lol

[coyotekris]

Oh my GOD!!! It's amazing what memories return when you watch this... I was mezmorized by this as a child..... can the BBC make it available on DVD....???

[DMEB]

HAHA BACK TO SCHOOL!!!.. but why is charn wearing a plague doctors mask??.. so many many memories here!!

[MacJaxonManOfAction]

CHARN ROX!

[jamesybach94]

Dalbeattie Primary Was ere!

[h3man19]

Ive been trying to find this for years, it reminds me so much of school! year 4 at belveder primary school! good times

[f31ic]

loved this.

[xXxl0tti3xXx]

I absoloutly loved this when I watched it in yr 4! I was addicted to it and was really upset when we finished watching it, and I can't believe I still remembered the theme tune, doris, boris and noris, and the dragon after all these years!!!

This is what should be used in schools, it's educational and fun!

[RagtimeGoldfield]

I had this warped dream where gorwen forced me to fight charn. and gorwen did absoultely nothing to help me!

[carysisme1]

OMG! I watched this in like year 3! I had the theme tune stuck in my head and I was like... what the hell is this from?! So I searched it and now i remember! God! 5 years on!

[sarahj1003]

i was thinking about it the other day but could the only bit i could remember was them flyin on the dragons back and i couldnt remeber what it was from!

We used to watch it at school!!

[JoeRyan33]

We went to Pelamar for our P3 class trip in 1989.

[BeccyRox22]

Every Wednesday after lunch we would watch this, and everyone was allways so excited!

[cutekitty11]

i remember being really scared of this

[xxtkxxangelxx]

i know , things were melting :O

[darkwingx1]

we used to watch this every monday at school, i swear it was more exciting and epic then this lmao just goes to show you see things so differently when your a child

[courtypow]

hahah it does dusent it thats helarios we used 2 watch this at skool but i didnt notice ha i was on like 5 so i took this very seriosly then ha it was like an episode of eastenders to me

[5starsuplex]

For some reason 2:05-2:08 cracks me up. Not because the girl is pushed but because up until that point the character is dubbed and within those 3 seconds its a different-ish voice which sounds ridiculous.

[azrael666ethereal]

Dark Towers was the best Look and Read, then The Boy From Space... :)

[MacJaxonManOfAction]

Charn rox

[adawal87]

This show used to freak me out back in the early 90's.... and still does!!! i think it just the complete and utter strangeness. I dont think druggies should of make programs for schools, scared me for life!

[NevecLP]

Same, it used to freak me out too.

[SunriseFresh]

hahahaa! who's the dick singing the intro?

[tobywharne]

This is a lot different to how I remembered it. A lot weirder for one thing!

[TableWolfMusic]

A giant mouse, a waterfall made of words, the Tango man, and a dragon holding a carrier bag? What?!!

[AdamHearne]

[ntvproductions]

[kirst95lol]

[luceelizabeth]

[jameswhite733]

[Shuffledodo]

[Shindai]

Nostalgia overdose! *dies* It's been 15 years or something!

[1Outside95]

EPIC! We used to watch this in infant school.

[AliceCooperIsCool]

[BountyHunter0101]

I Sky+d every episode. No idea how you'd upload them though.

[welshdevondragon]

I remember this!!! Watched it every week at primary school for nearly a year as kids kept on missing bits and we watched them again! Nostalgia frenzy!

[Tilehurst]

Can someone put the episodes up? Me being a complete 'tard was too preocupied with work and forgot.

[BountyHunter0101]

[TanyaTurner06]

It's on this Monday coming

[heapus2]

i need 2 c how it ends ive bin waitin 4 15 years n its kickin my ass

[Tilehurst]

Charn used to scare the bejessus out of me. I was glad when Gorwen finally fried the fucker.

Still looking back Charn is an awesome fucking villain.

[SaintJimmy671]

I remember watching this in Primary 2 about 10 in the morning and being in a huff for the rest of the day because Charn got beaten!

[sawyerisntlost]

I don't have that money but I would find a way.

and there was another show called 'Spywatch' in world war two that i recently found the name for. AWESOME

[sawyerisntlost]

ITS ON IN A FEW WEEKS!!

I've had this on my mind for the past few years, asking people if they know about this show, all I could remember is that there were maybe kids looking for something, and in i think episode 6 they were at a quagmire. ive said to several people, you know the show with a quagmire in episode 6 roughly shown in 1996,1997.

TanyaTurner06, if you'ld said to me, 'ill tell you when its on but you have to pay me £10,000.'  I would've given it to you.

[TanyaTurner06]

For anyone who is intersted (I know I am), through the dragons eye is being repeated on CBeebies on 4th February-8th

[jamescydonia]

man this show was awsome, shame I missed the final showdown between the dragon and that monster thing cus I was ill :*(

[reedywomble97]

I remember Look & Read when I was at school, it was all part of the BBC's plan to help children with literacy in schools.

[TanyaTurner06]

OMG thankyou so much for adding this. This brings back memories

[MonkoFong]

It still scares me witless! And I'm 25!

Could you post the rest of the series if you have it?

[fraserkatie]

Great theme tune too on this one, but never seen this episode before!

[gariwyn]

gorwen was awesome
