[1977] The Magic Roundabout - English version of the French stop motion animation show. The BBC version was distinct from the French version in that the narration was entirely new, created by Eric Thompson (who also narrates) from just the visuals, and not based on the script by Serge Danot. This episode is "Washing Machine".

Today's random #Discogs choice The Magic Roundabout and Dougal and The Blue Cat 1972. Way back in the day, we didn't have videos, DVDs, or streaming services to enjoy things over and over. There was a market for kids records of their favourite shows. Classic.

BBC4's reliance on pre-recorded continuity announcements is incredibly obvious when they use one before The Magic Roundabout and then the same one 5 minutes later before Rentaghost. "Remember this ... and its memorable theme tune?"
