Originally recorded January 21, 2007. Welcome to the Narnia Fans Cast Archive. These episodes were originally recorded between 2006 and 2009 during the early years of The Chronicles of Narnia film series. They have been preserved as part of NarniaFans.com’s history and may have been lightly edited for clarity, length, or archival presentation. Step through the wardrobe and enjoy this piece of Narnia Fans history. In Episode 25 of Narnia Fans Cast, John Burkitt and Roger Thomas discuss new insights into the development of Prince Caspian, including a firsthand audition account shared by a NarniaFans forum member and an official casting call in Prague seeking actors to portray centaurs. The hosts explore what these early reports reveal about the filmmakers’ vision for Caspian as a more mature, humanized, and emotionally complex hero, while considering the challenges of adapting one of C.S. Lewis’s most beloved novels for the screen. The episode also features “Nothing to Sneeze At,” another charming installment from John Burkitt’s Byron on Wells, following Nickerby Otter, Thorny Foxworth, and the familiar residents of the Moon and Hare Inn. In the second half of the show, John and Roger take a deeper look at life in Narnia under Telmarine rule, discussing how the old Narnians may have survived in hiding, how myths and legends were suppressed over generations, and what everyday life might have been like in a kingdom where talking animals and magical creatures had become little more than forgotten stories.
