A gentle dragon lands on Earth, and has one mission, to get home, he's assisted by a trio of youngsters, Jean, Peter and Gavin.
Talking Pictures have once again come up trumps, I've wanted to see this series for many years. I can imagine it's one that many kids grew up loving in the 60's. Somewhat surprising that it was transmitted over a ten week period, rather than put out in one go, but I understand why, put out in its original format.
It's a very sweet, amusing series, expect multiple chases, zany ideas and low budget special effects. It would have represented pure escapism for the younger generation.
Good performances, the youngsters do a good job, Patrick Newell and Frank Thornton are good fun in their over the top parts, but it's the skills of Kenneth Connor that are so enjoyable.
If you know what you're getting, you may just enjoy it.
6/10.
