Magic Roundabout

With a full-length animated version of the Magic Roundabout due out in February next year, it is vital that some card company (except Topps  ) picks up the licence for this. Anyone of a particular age...*cough cough*...will have fond memories of this and looking at the list of voice providers, it's an auto collectors heaven.

So, lobby your local MP or Senator, rally outside whatever Government building you can but do whatever is necessary.

This set must happen  

Thanking you please.

Sorry CJD, but I have to plead ignorance here, being but a calf in the grand scheme of things Could you tell us a bit more about this?

Those would be fab autographs though!

In (very) brief.......MR is a childrens animated series that started in the 60's. Originally in French (created by Serge Danot), it came to the UK and was narrated by Eric Thompson (father of actress Emma Thompson). With wonderful characters like Dougal the dog, Zebedee and my fav Dylan the rabbit, the scripts appear to have been written with adults in mind as much as children, which means that even watching them now nearly 40 years later, its possible to pick up references that would go over the head of kids.

There's plenty more I've missed, but thats the gist of it.

I heard the licence for trading cards has been taken, but not sure which company has it!

Yikes, Magic Roundabout was very weird. I'm not at all sure about it. It's like taking drugs without abusing your body - just your state of mind!!
