The Magic Roundabout

I think it's funny because the programme is made in France, and the British version was overdubbed with a story that wasn't the same as the French story. They looked at the programme and made a story up around the actions.

What I want to know, is when they redub the CGI movie in France, will that be a totally different story to the one we are getting?

Oh, and did you know EMI will be getting 25% of Robbie's earnings from The Magic Roundabout. Part of his new deal means EMI don't just get 25% of his music earnings, they get 25% of all earnings.

Shocking or what??

Last time i watched this was on new years eve/day at about 4am in the morning with all my friends, we really couldnt work out what was happening but it sure was funny!!

It kept finishing before we had time to work out why Dougal was trying to hide his "magic sugar cubes" from everyone else using invisible walls

theres a very good magic roundabout remix on kazaa i got a few weeks ago actually I have it on my xbox as part of my moto gp racing music

Wasnt it once said that The Magic Roundabout was created by someone under the influence of drugs, and that there was connections in the stories to magic mushrooms and as Exulus said "magic sugar cubes"?

It would be interesting to have someone who speaks english and french and watch both dubs of one story. Just to see how different the english ones are.

Well when we watched it we basically worked out that Dylan is blatently stoned, Dougal is addicted to LSD and that Zebadee is constantly on speed. Not sure about the others though!

What a great show for kids. I wonder what issues the film will address? [Deleted User] Posts: 706 Forum Member

According to my Mum, "Zebedee" was one of the first words I ever said.

There's some deep seated psychological trauma under there somewhere .

I know that this is an old thread, but I thought it would be best to search and see if what I wanted to discuss already existed and it does, so I will add my thoughts to this thread instead:

I liked watching "The Magic Roundabout" when I was younger, (it was often shown on CBBC or CBeebies, can't remember which channel it was it was shown on) and I think that it is better than a lot of the boring stuff we got on TV these days!

I think I have got a VHS tape somewhere in the loft containing some "The Magic Roundabout" episodes.

Also, I especially liked the whistley theme tune at the start and end of each episode.

So who else here enjoyed watching "The Magic Roundabout" then? Also, despite the fact that the programme was made in France, to me, it has a British feel to it.

johnnybgoode83 Posts: 8,908 Forum Member I have yet to work out what it was all about. Perhaps it would make sense if I were a stoner. shackfan Posts: 15,461 Forum Member johnnybgoode83 wrote: » I have yet to work out what it was all about. Perhaps it would make sense if I were a stoner.


Dougal, Florence, Zebedee, Brian the Snail? Helps if you are at least 40 though there was a rubbish film version a few years ago.

Magic Roundabout was very important in my childhood. About the first books I read were a couple of Magic Roundabout picture books. Also, we had a waste paper bin with a big picture of Dougal on, plus smaller ones of the other characters, and I had a little chest-of-draws in my room, which my parents put a big adhesive transfer of Dougal on. Also, as MR was usually in the 5.35 pm slot, it probably, indirectly, helped with my education in current affairs and news, as Blue Peter was just before, and Nationwide just afterwards, and Magic Roundabout was often the reason I was there to see those two programmes.

I was thinking of watching the film version but it might come across as too basic/simple (babyish). It might be a bit boring for an adult.

Also, Ermintrude the cow, who always had a flower in her mouth. There were a couple of other, occasional characters, too-Mr Rusty and Mr McEnery, weren't there? I can't recall too much about them, but seem to recall something about one of them having a top hat and beard.

I saw the film a while back (can't remember the exact circumstances why though). there seemed to be a rather unnatural relationship between Dougal and Florence.

I saw it as a daily end to the magical childrens' television and a precursor to the news - and then on to bed.

That awful music was like some sort of death knell. The same can be said for Rhubarb & Custard and Noggin the Nog.

Although I loved it as a kid, I think that was the least unnatural thing in the whole programme Ethel_Fred Posts: 34,127 Forum Member Dissonance wrote: »

I know the feeling. Once the closing credits faded, it was 5.40 pm. No more fun programmes, but time for oh-so-serious men and women in suits to discuss men in pinstripe trousers and bowler hats, zig-zag line charts of numbers, rough-looking men in the street, fighting or shouting, and black and brown soldiers in other countries, people getting hurt and killed-and 'the economy' 'financial' 'industrial' 'unions' and 'terrorists'

Still, kudos to the neco-poster for actually searching for a similar thread before posting a new one. You won't fit in around here

As for the subject at hand, I can't comment on so low a dose of LSD.

Same here, but still watched it as it was a "children's program", it was like rationing in those days.

I went to school with Eric Thompsons daughter, (Emma the Oscar winner was his other daughter).

Don't know where all the druggie references came from because she came across as being very straight laced and the family being a bit up themselves.
Always went to Scotland for holidays and went on and on about how bloody wonderful it was stuck up a glen somewhere.

She owns a spread up there now (Emma Thompson).

I read an article recently that told of police being called to her property after reports that a naked man had been seen in the grounds.

Apparently when they arrived she opened the door wearing a towel and with wet hair. It soon became clear that the naked 'man' had in fact been Ms Thomspn herself - who is inclined to go skinny dipping in a lake on her land!

A brief history of naughty things appearing in kids’ TV

There has been quite a furore surrounding cutesy Netflix children’s cartoon Maya the Bee.

The premise seems innocent enough. Sweet insect Maya leaves her hive to discover the world around her, educating kids on the beauty of nature along the way.

Recently however, Maya has been more naturist than naturalist.

A drawing of a penis was spotted in the background of a recent episode, leading to a wave of controversy.

Reportedly the work of a rogue artist, the incident – in an episode fittingly titled ‘King Willi’ – caused a number of outraged parents to condemn the show.

The offending image, found in an episode of Maya the Bee

Yet the appearance of sexual innuendos and rude images in kids TV shows is nothing new.

In fact, it has been happening for as long as cartoons have been broadcast.

Reviews for "Talismann, Petersburg, IL: A Journey into the Supernatural"

1. John - 1 star
I had high hopes for Talismann petersburg il, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The service was extremely slow, and it took ages to get our order. When the food finally arrived, it was underwhelming, to say the least. The flavors were bland and lacked any creativity. The ambiance of the restaurant was also quite dull, and the overall experience was a letdown. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
Talismann petersburg il was a disappointment. The menu seemed enticing, but the actual execution was lacking. The dishes were poorly plated, and some even arrived cold. The flavors were not well-balanced, and certain ingredients seemed out of place. Additionally, the prices were quite high for the quality of food served. I had expected a lot more from this restaurant, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. I won't be returning.
3. Tom - 2 stars
The experience at Talismann petersburg il left much to be desired. First of all, the portions were incredibly small for the price. I left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. Secondly, the service was inattentive and slow, making the whole dining experience frustrating and lengthy. Moreover, the restaurant lacked a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, which affected the overall dining experience. I was disappointed with the whole experience and won't be recommending it to others.
