The Last Dragonslayer

Christmas Day, sky1 HD, 5.45pm

There’s no shortage of magic and mystery in Sky’s big family fantasy adventure this Christmas.

The Last Dragonslayer takes place in a fantastical world of wayward wizards and mythical beasts, and follows dragon-loving orphan Jennifer Strange, who discovers a prophecy naming her as the last dragonslayer. Problem is, Jennifer adores the fire-breathing creatures so why would she want to kill them?

‘The story is about Jennifer’s journey as she reluctantly discovers her destiny,’ explains Ellise Chappell, who plays her. ‘What I love about her is the fact that she’s not born a heroine. She hasn’t got the first clue about how to wield a sword. She doesn’t want any of this responsibility, but she takes everything in her stride.’
