The series, which was shown on BBC television in 1989, is an adaptation of two of C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia novels: Prince Caspian (1951) and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952).
The cast and crew travelled to Tresco, Isles of Scilly for scenes taking place on fictional Doorn Island.
The rest of the series was shot in Ealing Studios, including some scenes taking place on the deck of the Dawn Treader.

According to Samuel West who played King Caspian, he stole one of Warwick Davis' latex prop noses and kept it after production ended.
He has a tutor called Dr. Cornelius who one night woke him up because the Queen had given birth to a baby; with a direct heir, Miraz no longer needs Caspian, and planned to kill him.
These are people who live in hiding, because King Miraz hates the Old Narnians; his ancestors defeated them in their invasion of Narnia hundreds of years earlier.
Miraz then has an argument with his two courtiers, initially intending to refuse the challenge, but Glozelle and Sopespian trick him into accepting the offer.
