In Episode 35 of Narnia Fans Cast, John Burkitt and Roger Thomas discuss the impressive full-scale sets constructed for Prince Caspian at Barrandov Studios in the Czech Republic, including an enormous castle, village, and bridge built specifically for the production. The hosts explore how filmmakers blend practical sets with computer-generated imagery, revealing how movie locations often appear vastly different on screen than they do during filming. The conversation then shifts to the literary evolution of The Chronicles of Narnia, examining how C.S. Lewis expanded what began as a single fairy tale into a rich and interconnected world. John and Roger reflect on the series’ changing themes, the growing depth of Narnia’s mythology, and the evolving role of Aslan across all seven books. The episode concludes with Part 2 of The Bard’s Tale: The Casket of Bakhtar, continuing John Burkitt’s original story of ancient power, difficult choices, and the hope of redemption.
