The Magic Roundabout (1964 series)
The Magic Roundabout (called Le Manège enchanté in France), is a children's television programme that was created in France in 1964 by Serge Danot with the help of Ivor Wood and his French wife, Josiane. The show ran for 750 episodes in France each five minutes long, broadcast from 5 October 1964 on the first channel of the ORTF.
The French series was first broadcast from 1964 to 1974 on ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française). The BBC originally rejected translating the series because it was "charming. but difficult to dub into English", but later produced a version of the series using the French footage with new English-language scripts written and narrated by Eric Thompson, which bore little relation to the original storylines. This version, broadcast in 441 five-minute-long episodes from 18 October 1965 to 25 January 1977, was a great success and attained cult status, and when in 1967 it was moved from the slot just before the evening news to an earlier children's viewing time, adult viewers complained to the BBC.
After Danot's departure in 1967, a second series of 100 episodes was broadcast in 1971. In 1993 another 250 episodes were produced by AB Groupe for the La Cinqchannel.

Reviews for "Unlock the Magic: Exploring Magic Tree House 36"
1. Mike - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic Tree House 36". The plot felt repetitive and predictable, and the characters lacked depth. It just didn't have the same magic and excitement as some of the earlier books in the series. I found myself struggling to stay engaged and ended up losing interest halfway through. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to fans of the series.
2. Sarah - 3 stars - While I'm a big fan of the "Magic Tree House" series, I have to admit that "Magic Tree House 36" didn't live up to my expectations. The story felt rushed and the adventure lacked the usual charm and suspense. The writing also seemed less engaging this time around. I found myself skimming through the pages instead of getting lost in the magic of the story. While it wasn't terrible, it just didn't capture my attention like the previous books in the series.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited for "Magic Tree House 36", but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The storyline felt forced and unoriginal, and I didn't connect with the characters as much as I had hoped. The pacing seemed off, and I found myself getting bored with the repetitive adventure formula. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unimpressed by this addition to the series.
4. Alex - 2 stars - As a longtime fan of the "Magic Tree House" series, I was let down by "Magic Tree House 36". The plot felt uninspired and lacked the usual creativity and imagination that I have come to expect. The dialogue also felt stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to fully engage with the story. While it had some redeeming moments, overall, it felt like a step back from the previous books in the series. I hope future installments bring back the magic and excitement.
