Game 50
Five minutes on the roundabout
Just before the evening news
A video by AlanHilter
The game's question
Gently does it: five minutes, like the programme itself.
Just before the evening news, five minutes of magic: ‘The Magic Roundabout’, from 18 October 1965, 441 little episodes in all. Eric Thompson wrote the words and told the stories over pictures from France. There was a snail, a rabbit, a pink cow called Ermintrude – and a dog. What was the dog called?
- Brian
- Dougal
- Dylan
Need a hint?
His name begins with the same sound as ‘dog’. Ask who watched it in your house: the children, the parents or both.
See the answer
Answer: Dougal – the dog of ‘The Magic Roundabout’, with Brian, Dylan and Ermintrude.
Why this game : Five minutes before the news – a small evening ritual that two generations can share.
