Magic Roundabout
The Magic Roundabout originated as a French programme called Le Manège enchanté.
Dougal was Pollux in the original French-language version, a British character who speaks somewhat broken French with an outrageous English accent as a result of Ivor Wood's role as co-creator.
The other characters were Zebedee (Zébulon), a jack-in-the-box; Brian (Ambroise), a snail; Ermintrude (Azalée), a cow, and Dylan (Flappy) a rabbit, who in the French version was Spanish. There are two notable human characters: Florence (Margote), a young girl; and Mr Rusty (le Père Pivoine), the operator of the roundabout.
