Beaver retrievers

[vivdunstan]

Having finished rewatching the BBC 1988-1990 Narnia TV series we are now happily starting to watch the extended making of documentary covering the full thing. Just learned about the beaver actors constantly falling over in the Scottish snow, and having to be rescued by dedicated “beaver retrievers”.

rofl. The highlight of anyone's CV!

Also, I didn't realise (going on childhood memory) that it was filmed in Scotland with real snow. Somehow I'd assumed it was shot in a studio.

Yes the snow scenes were filmed around the Aviemore area. Though they had to supplement the snow with a bit of fake stuff in places.
