** Jadis comes as hammy in the book - at the very latest when she gets to say the line from [[ShoutOut.ToShakespeare Shakespeare's]] ''Richard III'' "in that knowledge, despair and die!" In the play, variations on that line drag on for all of a scene - so the carry-over audience reation to hearing it anywhere else is: "just kill him ''already'' instead of filling half an evening dramatisising about it!", making anyone who says that an [[VillainDecay insta-ridiculous drama queen]].

* QuestionableCasting:
** In the BBC adaptation, Richard Dempsey is cast as Peter, yet is unfortunately much shorter than the rest of his siblings, making him look more like a younger brother rather than the eldest. Sophie Wilcox is also considered to be far too tall to play Lucy, and looking more like the oldest (although her performance is seen as fine). Sophie Cook as Susan, by contrast, is actually considered by some to be superior to Anna Popplewell in the 2005 film.
** Barbara Kellerman takes the cake in the BBC version. She's ChewingTheScenery in every scene and acting like a pantomime villain with no subtlety. She did thankfully tone it down when playing the Hag in ''Literature/PrinceCaspian'' and the Green Lady in ''Literature/TheSilverChair''.

The child actors had become more comfortable in their roles, with more veterans like Creator/SamuelWest and Warwick Davis to help carry the story.

** Despite Jadis' enormously LargeHam tendencies her, there are more than a few fans who enjoyed her for a combination of her acting, costume, and imposing voice; even when she was ChewingTheScenery with abandon.
