It's a bit mature for your age group. Did you get most of it anyway? :)
I thought you told me a roundabout was a traffic thing. Now I will have to start over. How many other false words have you slipped into my list?

Jenny, The Magic Roundabout appeared in 1965 and was shown just before the BBC 6 O'clock news. The humour appealed to adults probably more than kids and it became a cult. Dougal the dog became famous, and remains the star in many minds. It was made in France but the storyline was made up by Thomson.

Susan, Much as O liked Carrot I canny mind that.
Max, Actually that Roundabout is a Carousel. :)
Makro, It is good and did become a 'cult' in the 60's amongst adults!
This was such a nice funny and gentle little programme. Does it have happy memories for you?
ReplyDeleteI still think Jasper Carrot's version of Magic Roundabout was the best.

Thank you. I know "carousel." It is British for Merry-go-round." Do you know what a helter-skelter is?
