Ten of the most popular stories from the BBC television series narrated by Eric Thompson.
Created by Serge Danot in 1965. The Magic Roundabout became a television legend. Flavoured with a laid-back and surreal view of life, this children's programme with witty commentary for the adults soon achieved a cult status.
Featuring an off-the-wall cast, including Dougal, a shaggy dog who lives on a strict diet of sugar; an eccentric bouncing character called Zebedee, who would announce his arrival with a 'boing'; a sleepy, guitar-playing rabbit named Dylan; Ermintrude the pink cow; Florence; and Brian the snail, The Magic Roundabout staked its place in television history. The most famous sentence of the series was Zebedee's declaration 'Time for bed', which sent millions of children to sleep every evening.
Now you can enjoy ten stories from the original BBC TV series in all their bizarre glory, plus an exclusive extract from an interview with scriptwriter and narrator Eric Thompson.
Jump on The Magic Roundabout - it's a great ride!
Zebedee and friends star in an all-new CGI-animated motion picture of The Magic Roundabout, featuring the voice talents of Tom Baker, Joanna Lumley, Ian McKellen, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams.
