Television series rarely convert successfully to audio. It says much, therefore, for Eric Thompson's scripts that even without the pictures of lugubrious, floppy-eared Dougal, prim, bossy Florence and the Machiavellian Zebedee, his Magic Roundabout stories (BBC, 4.99 CD) are as sharp and as funny as ever -- Guardian, April 9, 2005
Product Description
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.

These stories are surrealist joy for the adult, and great for inspiring the imaginations of children, but it will help them if they have seen a few of the original episodes first.
BEWARE: this is the SAME product (in a different wrapping) as The Magic Roundabout (Vintage Beeb), also being sold by Amazon. Do not buy both thinking they are different. This is particularly annoying as you can't find this out without opening this CD as the tracklist is on the inside.

This is lovely with the Magic roundabout, it's a shame is not a DVD and just the music and story.
