Well, in 1978, age 6, we watched Sky Hunter and we all loved it. The noise of the excitement of the class waiting for it to start... Then in 1979, we watched The Kings Dragon. And it fell so flat after Sky Hunter. All I remembered was the title, and that Wordy was (obviously) in it. We weren't allowed to watch The Boy From Space or Dark Towers as we were by then too old ( ! ) Never been bothered about The Kings Dragon since. I missed all the CBBC repeats, youtube uploads were bad quality...but then I you'd uploaded the entire series. 44 years after it went over my head (46 years after it was made), now age 51 - I was totally hooked straight into episode 1. So many familiar BBC production names, Bill Duggan from The Wheel In Space, Griffin from Enemy Of The World (plus Curtis in The Champions) and of course John Quayle had a huge career. Anne Pichon (Miss Wood) is so familiar from something (which isn't listed anywhere on the internet)...it's even made me want to go back to Hastings (haven't been there since 1988) to check out the locations. Such a shame that Sean Flanagan (Billy) was taken from us in 1981. So long ago now. What a great series this was. Shall be going back to episode 1 again shortly. Interesting that Charles Lloyd Pack wasn't in it for longer. Imagine the original film being found, rescanned and issued on 2k (or 4k) blu ray. Will never happen of course, but it would look stunning! Thank you for uploading the programmes. Amazed that I have literally no memories of it except the title and Wordy...

Better than eastenders this was.

Carter crapping his pants when his boat gets stuck in Billy,s grandfather,s nets is awesome in billions of ways.

I first watched it at a private school:-Burrow Hill School 1977 age 14. And I recognise the same actor on a children's programme called Cloudburst 1973...

Oh my goodness! I haven't seen this since its original broadcast, and it was the thing that started my love of dragons!! Thank you!

Just watched this 45 years to the very minute after I last watched it! I remember it well, I was ill off school but looking forward to my brothers 9th birthday party we would have at teatime. Great memories of simpler times....22.03.1977. I would never have believed I would be able to see the whole series again sitting at home, 45 years later. Thanks for the upload!

Miss Wood really should goto the Police asap she is a fool not to tell them

This series was awesome in trillions of ways

Which one is Charles Lloyd pack, any relation to Roger?

a tall man smoking a pipe, wouldn't be allowed now a days.

Does anyone know if the rest of the series is available to watch anywhere?

i haven't seen this since I was about 8! Thank you!

I would love to live in Hastings if I had millions and billions of pounds and Billy,s grandfather,s Stan,s boat the king harold is awesome in millions and billions of ways

Lovethe way carter gets trapped in stan,s nets

awesome series in billions of ways

awesome series in billions of ways

saw this in primary school and I hope it can be obtained on dvd

I have remembered that music and the words 'gold arm ring' since 1977 and now I'm 51. Unbelievable how much water has gone under the bridge in my family since the last time I watched that. We were glued at school at the age of 7, I guess for most of us this was the first series we'd ever watched!

Yep. I remember watching this at school in the 70s with a bottle of milk 🥛

Hi, I run the KZbin channel NRCP and was wondering if you have any access to archival TV episodes of Look and Read www.imdb.com/title/tt0318902/ I'm looking to fill holes in my collection, and potentially help you complete yours! I have lots of rare old British TV I could trade. Also interested in archival episodes of blue peter. But Look and Read is my priority. Thanks! - NRCP kzbin.info/door/XpauiWrK3Zwof8YjwRI-aw

What does the lifeboatman shout at 16.49 ?

I first watched The Kings Dragon at a Private School age 14 1977

Charles Lloyd Pack (Mr Day) is Trigger's dad (Roger Lloyd Pack)

Bloody hell. This is good

i saw this when i was at school i was only 10, if only it was complete in a dvd as a full film it would be such a classic to have

our school used this look and read in 1977/78

I suspected Carter was a villain from the outset.

I would live in Hastings if I ever had millions and billions of pounds in money and to me Hastings is a much better are of England than where I currently live.

I like the way Clive throws the kings dragon into the sea and it so agers the arch-villain Carter who threatens to get him then Clive jumps into the sea to save Billy as Carter is a nasty vicious man who is caught in the fishing nets which Stan Billy,s Grandad put out in the sea and nasty Carter,s boat gets caught in the nets despite Stan trying to warn the stupid idiot

Hastings is one town I would live in if I had millions and billions of pounds in mony Hastings has a seaside and I would live near the sea if I had millions and billions in money and it is a much prettier place than where I live at the moment.

I have not seen this for nearly 40 years and I think these programmes were super in billions of ways.

My children and I have really enjoyed watching this series - thank you! I half remembered it from primary school, and we now live in Hastings, so many familiar places to recognise.

Think I may cry, watched this 40 odd years ago as a child in the 70’s at school, came home to ride on my chopper and eat spangles, best of times

Why is the OU stuff always so dated? >_>

Been 38 years since I last saw this at school!
