Jenny (Nicola Stewart) One of the three children transported to Pelamar. Jenny is timid and artistic, and not a confident reader, but she gets the job done when she needs to. She stays behind in the Veetacore House to read the instruction book whilst the others go off on the quest. | |
Scott Bates (Simon Fenton) Another of the kids transported to Pelamar. Scott is the boy and so tries to seem cool and casual at all times, though really he's the one who needs the most persuasion to investigate strange things. | |
Amanda Jackson (Marlaine Gordon) The last of the kids transported to Pelamar, who also goes out with the search party to Widge. Amanda is trusting and rash, and always the first to rush into new things without thinking it through. | |
Doris (Carolyn Pickles) One of the Pelamots charged with looking after the Veetacore. Doris is the purple one and the most responsible, which isn't saying much. | |
Morris (Michael Heath) Another of the Keepers of the Veetacore, Morris has lots of pets around the Veetacore house including a caterpillar called Frug. Morris is the green one. | |
Boris (Timothy Lyn) The third Keeper of the Veetacore, Boris has a magical cricket bat that can grow and fly. He goes on the quest with Gorwen and the kids. Boris is the orange one. | |
Gorwen (Sean Barrett) A powerful, flying dragon from Pelamar who calls the children to the land to help in the quest for the missing Veetons. | |
Rodey (Charles Collingwood) A white mouse who can grow to the size of an adult human or shrink to the size of a, err.. mouse. He accompanies the expedition to Widge because he can communicate with the Widgets. | |
Charn (David Collings) *BADDIE* A Pelamot banished from the country for being evil. After the Veetacore explodes, he's able to come back to Pelamar and tries to make the land evil. |

'It's our mural...' whispered Jenny, 'come alive.' The dragon bowed. 'Welcome to Pelamar,' he said. 'My name is Gorwen.' |
Boris called Doris on the videophone. He was excited. 'Hi, Doris! Guess what?' But Doris wasn't listening. She looked scared. A dark shadow fell across her face. |
He laughed. 'All Pelamots will grow cruel and wicked and I, Charn, will rule!' Jenny slowly closed the book. |
So they walked on up the mountain. But a Widget had hidden part of the notice. It really said 'ROAD UNSAFE'. |
Colour came back to the grey land of Pelamar and to the Pelamots. They grew strong again. Even Gorwen was going to be alright. |
