Was this years ahead of it’s time?



Was it aimed at children or adults?

Maybe I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time...

Anyone else used to enjoy the Magic Roundabout just before the news?

Loved Magic Roundabout, probably more so than our children.

I loved it and would happily watch it now ☺️. Dougal was my favourite. I also loved Ludwig and Ivor the Engine which I think were also in the pre news slot.

I think it was pretty much of the time. There were quite a few strange psychedelic children's programs on in the 60' and 70's 😁

Did you ever see In the night Garden"? I always felt it looked like Port Merion and was totally surreal.

i suspect its makers enjoyed the same 'leisure activities' as the makers of the magic roundabout

i always recall my sister had a big plastic Custard head on a massive spring on her window sill just wobblying about all the time

I think you may be right...

Magic Roundabout was narrated by Emma Thompsons dad I think... they were probably all at it!

Me! Loved it.

They took episodes of a French animation and then Eric Thompson narrated random stuff over the top based on what he saw, not bothering to translate the French script. Hence why it seems so weird.

Apparently (according to Google) there were over 500 episodes!
