Hark to this tale of a Scottish dragon, a Texan knight and a despot from  Blackpool, as we take a look at 1996's DragonHeart and its  cheap-as-chips sequel, A New Beginning. We discuss this weirdly  long-lived franchise, explore the strange alternate universe versions of  the original, and try to craft a sequel that's got, dare we say, a  little more heart.
