I cannot believe that I have actually come across this after all these years! I first saw this as a very young boy in the early 90s and the one things that sticks in my memory to this very day, and still, to some extent effects me still, is the fact that the character of "Charn" gave me the most terrible nightmares for YEARS afterwards. I was terrified of ever going upstairs on my own, I was petrified of the dark and I would never open doors (even inside the house): I had to get other people to do it for me. This only happend after I saw the programme. Quite simply this programme scarred and scared me! I am almost ashamed to admit this after all these years, however the fact remains that it terrified out of me more that I could ever put into words! Even now if I am alone upstairs at night and I hear a noise on the landing the word "Charn" come straight into my head.
Am I a case for therapy? Quite probably, but it has been very good to have been able to get this off my chest after so many years! Dash it all I am 21 next week and I still have memories going back all those years! The fact remans, however, do I really want to be able to remember this?
By the way I saw this at a school in Aldershot, if any of you went there! The name of the school fails to come to mind now, as I was only there for a little while. I think the teachers name was Mrs Cansdale (strange what come back!)

im glad there are other weirdos like me who still treasure through the dragons eye!! it scared me too at the time!! where can i get a copy?? i randomly look around all the time, but ive never found it!!
i think it just takes you back to a sad time as a kid when you believed in all that stuff!
but... it just shows that you really dont need special effects to have an endearing story!

I cantttt believe i've found this. It just came over me all of a sudden and I kept thinking what was that program i'd watch in Primary School every Thursdays or Fridays. My friend just told me the name. When he said it's called "Through the dragon's eyes" I got shivers running down my spine as memories from 10 years ago flashed before my eyes, and I wish I could turn back time.The memories. No one can take them away from you. We alllll loved this, I'm an 18 year student going onto Uni next year but these sure were the glory days. I rememeber one episode when they were on the beach and the alien or someone gets lost!! WHAT A PROGRAM!!! Beats all the kids programs nowadays but they'll probably come to love them when they're older.
