The BBC, in association with the Wonderworks program, produced films based on four of the seven books, but did not complete the series to due to a limited budget.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a BBC-produced television serial that was aired from 1988 to 1990, and based on four books of C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series. The series was originally aired with the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe consisting of 6 episodes (1988), Prince Caspian with 2 episodes (1989), The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with 4 episodes (1989) and The Silver Chair with 6 episodes (1990). This television serial was produced by Paul Stone and teleplayed by Alan Seymour. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was directed by Marilyn Fox, while Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader were directed by Alex Kirby.

The four miniseries were later edited into three feature-length films (combining "Prince Caspian" and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader") and released on DVD. The series won the BAFTA Award for "Best Video Lighting" in 1988.
