Cast of characters.

Status: Partially Found

The Magic Roundabout is the English-language version of the French stop-motion series Le Manège Enchanté. The show took place in a woodsy garden area with a carousel, inhabited by eccentric talking animals and magical creatures. Each episode (5 minutes each) was basically an everyday adventure with a touch of magic and surrealism. Both the French and English versions are different though, since the original English narrator, Eric Thompson, ignored the French scripts and gave the show his own style (which is why it was and still is very popular in the UK).

History

In France, there are at least over 500 episodes, but the exact number is unconfirmed. In the UK, the episodes were originally narrated by Eric Thompson for BBC from 1965 to 1977. In 1991, Nigel Planer become the series' narrator for a batch of episodes that have not yet received an English translation which were acquired by Channel 4, as well as some episodes that were previously narrated by Thompson. While the newer batch mostly aired on TV, some of the re-narrated older episodes were released to VHS. Additionally, Planer's re-narrations were different from Thompson's stories, and some of them featured a compilation of scenes from different episodes to make one story altogether (an example being "Piano Moving" and "The Orchestra"). Sometime during the late 90s and early 2000s, the series re-aired in overnight blocks on Cartoon Network, with Jimmy Hibbert re-narrating some of Thompson's episodes (particularly those from the third series), along with airing some of Planer's narrations. Each of the UK English dubs not only ignored the French scripts, but were entirely different from each other as well (although Hibbert's dub was actually a bit closer to the French dub).

At the very least, most of the episodes with Eric Thompson's original English narration are in the BBC archives, and there is a list of which episodes have aired, as well as the original airdates.[1] However, some listings have unconfirmed episode names (as they are left blank, though they still have airdates and episode numbers) while other episodes are unlisted and apparently lost. Also, the exact number of episodes that Planer and Hibbert narrated is also unconfirmed.

That having been said, several episodes with Thompson's narration have been released to VHS during the late 80s and early 90s in four volumes and a "Best-Of" compilation tape. The first volume contains the 1974 episodes, while the subsequent three volumes contain episodes from the 1970-1971 run. Also, 20 of the Nigel Planer episodes have been released to VHS in 1993 as "The New Magic Roundabout" (there was also a 1997 re-release of the same VHS, which included only the first 10 episodes).

Additionally, the English dubs of four 1967 episodes from the original black-and-white series (along with the 1965 series premiere) have been released as a bonus feature on the 2nd disc of the Special Edition UK DVD of the 2005 CGI film of the same name. With the exception of the series premiere, the episodes also include the original French versions.

As for the Jimmy Hibbert episodes, only three episodes have surfaced online, the rest are currently considered lost, as said dub only aired on TV and was not released to home video at all.

The original French version had its own series of modifications as well. After the show was cancelled on French television by ORTF in 1967, new episodes continued to be produced in the UK, due to the show's popularity in that country. Some of those were later aired in France around 1972, after the release of the 1970 film Dougal and the Blue Cat (Pollux et le Chat Bleu), on ORTF as part of the Colorix television program, while others remained unreleased in that country until the early 90s. At some point, several episodes from the 1970-1971 were updated to include the latest music scores (from the 1974-1977 run) being used at the time. Also, by then, the French voice of Florence (a.k.a. Margote), Patricia Danot, re-dubbed her character for the 1970-1971 color episodes (either to match with the vocal consistency of the episodes she recorded for the newer seasons, or to fill in for another young unknown actress who voiced her for that season).

When the series went into reruns in 1983, a new theme song "C'est moi, Pollux" was used for the opening and closing sequences. (It was also released as a single, which became very popular in France at the time.) The music score was also replaced with a new soundtrack with occasional underscores of both the aforementioned theme and the show's second 1983 single, "Tourni Tournicoti, Tourni Tournicoton". Twelve episodes from this run were released to VHS as "Le Manège Enchanté Avec Pollux" in 1987 by Citel Vidéo.

Even more changes occurred in 1989, when the show, now being distributed by AB Productions, went into reruns again (this time on TF1 and La Cinq), and previously unreleased episodes (a majority of them being from the 1970-1971 season, which initially aired in the UK) were broadcast for the first time. (Practically 94% of the season was released on an 8-volume VHS collection released by AB/TF1 Video during the 90s.) The series also utilized a brand new theme song and music score, which, once again, replaced the original theme and music score for older episodes (though some of the 1970-1971 episodes kept the 1974 music score from their run at the time). Additionally, AB Productions began producing a group of brand new episodes which aired in 1990, few of which are known to have been translated to the UK by Nigel Planer. A further set of episodes was aired in 1993 on Mangas. Interestingly, the same music score by AB was also used for the Nigel Planer and Jimmy Hibbert versions of the English episodes, although they still kept the original theme, albeit slightly modified, for the opening and closing. These editions (along with Patricia Danot's redubs of Florence) are the most well-known versions these days, as several episodes from this run were released on VHS and some can be found on YouTube).

Apart from all of this, both the English and French versions of the series have yet to receive any standalone DVD releases, and episodes that weren't released on VHS are tough to find on the internet.
