The Magic Roundabout

Florence sees that Dougal isn't happy. His friends have been on holiday and he's missed them, although he won't admit it. Ermintrude, Brian, Dylan and Mr. Rusty arrive back on train and try to tell the stories of their adventures, but Dougal keeps interrupting them.

Florence is reading a book about a handsome prince who turns into a frog, and only the kiss from a fair damsel, pure of heart and kid of nature will turn him back into a Prince. Dougal doesn't believe in fairy stories. Piffle and nonsense he says.

Florence sends Dougal out with invitations for everyone in the Enchanted Garden to come for a tea party. Meantime, Zebedee hits upon some mischief and plants a talking Magic Lamp in Brian's gravel patch. Brian doesn't want it the lamp and throws it away.

Mr. Rusty is going away to visit some friends. He asks the Florence and the other members of the Enchanted Garden to take care of the Magic Roundabout whilst he is away.

Mr. Grimsdale is very, very busy. So much so that Florence gets worried about him and sends him off on a holiday. She volunteers Dougal to do Mr. Grimsdale's deliveries whilst he is away. Dougal is not impressed! Dougal starts off his delivery round and his first stop is with pizza for Dylan.

Florence has found a nest of mice in her strawberry patch and warns Dougal not to disturb them. Ermintrude turns up with a bucket for making ice cream.

Dougal finds Florence reading, again! She tells him that the book is about pirates and is very exciting. Dougal thinks pirates are just silly! Florence finds a map inside the book. Look, Dougal, it's a pirates map, with a cross marking a certain spot on the map.

Zebedee is up to his tricks again! Things have gone missing in the village and everyone is mystified. Meanwhile, Brian is going bird watching, but Dougal can think of nothing more boring. Dylan finds Brian's binoculars, and freaks out at his far/near carrot patch!

Florence asks Dougal to take a letter to Ermintrude. It's been delivered to their house by mistake. When Dougal turns up at Ermintrude's house he finds her in the throes of spring-cleaning her house.

Mr. Rusty is gluing an ear back on one of the Magic Roundabout horses. Florence drops her hankie and sends Dougal off to look for it. When Dougal sniffs around The Magic Roundabout, Mr. Rusty's glue brush gets stuck to his nose.

Florence is organising a swap shop. She explains that you can swap anything you like with what you see on the stall. Ermintrude swaps some buns for her hat.

Dougal is more of a hindrance than a help to Florence when doing the housework. Florence tells him he's not much good at housework and Dougal feels Guilty about this and to make amends decides to help everyone in the Enchanted Garden - with devastating results.

Florence and Dougal are discussing types of flowers and agree to go to Brian for some help. Whilst Brian is looking in his 'flower book' and piece of parchment falls out. On it is written that the holder of the parchment is decreed to be the king of the realm.

Brian is counting blades of grass and is interrupted by Dougal. At the same time, Mr. Grimsdale rides into the scene, sees Dougal and then suddenly has to swerve to avoid Brian. Soldier Sam calls out 'Emergency' and Florence attends to a shaken Mr. Grimsdale.

Brian is waiting for his new super hero comic to arrive. Electro Man and Marvellous Mouse! Dougal is intrigued when he finds out they wear masks and thwart danger.

It's a beautiful day in the village. Dougal and Fly decide to make a film of the Enchanted Garden and its inhabitants for Florence.

When a brightly decorated wardrobe appears in the village, its 'special' qualities has everyone in a spin. First Dylan, then Dougal, then Ermintrude find themselves in the wardrobe and transported to a variety of places.

Florence has ordered some toys for Basil and Coral, but Mr. Grimsdale has lost his glasses and can't see properly, so mixes up the deliveries. One toy goes to Ermintrude and the other goes to Dylan. Confusion reigns when Dougal hides the toys. Florence is very upset.

Brian is inspecting his beloved gravel collection, which Dougal thinks is very boring. Brian and Zebedee hatch a plan to teach Dougal a lesson for being so rude, and Zebedee magic's up some growing power.

Dougal is bored with life in the Enchanted Garden. There must be something bigger and better on the other side of the hill. He gets a caravan from Mr. Grimsdale, But instead of the motorised Winnebago he had hoped for, he gets an old fashioned gypsy caravan which has to be pulled by a horse.

Ermintrude has had a garden makeover. It is such a success she takes it upon herself to redesign everyone else's garden. What she doesn't realise is that everyone in the Enchanted Garden is happy with what they have and they don't want to be bullied into something new.

When a pesky fly takes revenge on Dougal for chasing him away and dives into a freshly baked pie, he gets stuck under the crust, having eaten too much. When Dougal goes to take a bite, the quick-thinking fly pretends it's a magic talking pie, which can grant wishes.

Ermintrude is making pancakes and thinks it's such fun that she organises a pancake party. Not everyone is good at throwing pancakes up into the air, and things get even worse when the pancakes go up - and then disappear.

Everyone is enthralled by Zebedee's magic show. Everyone that is except Dougal. He can do better than that, and The Great Dougalini is born!

Dylan wants to organise a rock night - a real big gig! Florence decides that they'll all help Dylan organise the show, but Dougal isn't at all keen on the idea. Dylan falls asleep.

Florence is worried because Dougal just wants to sit and eat pies all day. Ermintrude suggests that Florence buys Dougal a ball. Dougal is appalled by the notion and flatly refuses to join in the ball games with everyone else.

Dylan is horrified. Someone is stealing the moon. Bits of it are going missing! Florence and the team try to explain to Dylan that this is what happens to the moon every month, but that he's never awake long enough to see the moon cycle.

Dougal's Auntie Primrose comes to stay. Dougal is horrified, as she is over-powering and bossy. What can he do with her? Auntie Primrose takes over the house, and then insists on being taken on a tour around the Enchanted Garden before she goes home.

Basil and Coral want to set up a paperchase. Dougal thinks this is boring, until Florence persuades him with the idea of a picnic at the end of the chase. The kids set off, sticking notes on trees to show the rest of the team how to find them.

Brian is working out to keep fit, but still feels he is a really boring snail. He wishes for an outstanding feature, and Zebedee obliges by providing him with a Golden Snail shell.

Mr. Rusty has lost his voice and can't sing to his horses. Florence decides to set up the Magic Roundabout Choir, but apart from Ermintrude, nobody can sing. Florence enlists the help of Coral and Basil and with the rest of the team adding noises they really can do, the choir is formed and sing beautifully to Mr. Rusty's horses. And it's time to party!

Ermintrude is talking to her mirror, and is astonished when it talks back to her. 'Yes', it says, 'you are the fairest in the land'.

When a little penguin appears at Florence's door one day, everyone takes turns looking after him, while Florence - who has named him Arthur - and Soldier Sam try to work out where he came from. First Ermintrude, then Dylan, then Brian has a go at looking after little Arthur, without much success.

Florence asks Dougal to hand out raffle tickets and invitations to a concert that Ermintrude is giving in the village square. Ermintrude asks Mr Grimsdale to find her a piano, so that Mr Rusty can accompany her a task that is not relished by the latter!

Mr. McHenry is creating a work of art - out of soap. Convinced it's going to be a statue of him, Dougal goes around the village purloining soap to give to Mr. Rusty. Everyone wonders what has happened to their soap.

Brian's behaviour is becoming very strange he has been going round with furniture and odds and sods strapped to his shell.

Mr. Rusty tells Mr. Grimsdale that he needs a radio to help him keep up with his deliveries. They both get walkie-talkies, and the system works well until Mr. Grimsdale loses his walkie-talkie.

Dougal and Brian are at Dylan's house and find an old rusty box in his carrot patch. It contains a medal inscribed 'For Donovan Rabbit'.

Dougal and Brian set up a radio station, with Dougal playing the D.J. It's not very successful since Dougal not only has a boring voice, but insists on telling everyone about his 100 most favourite bones.

Mr McHenry has invited everyone to come to the Magic Roundabout to listen to him play his bagpipes. But when they settle down to listen, the bagpipes make an appalling screeching, whining din, that has everyone running for cover!

Train's heating system is not too good and he's liable to overheat on his next journey. Mr. Rusty fills his tank with water and sends him off, thinking he will be okay. But he's not! Not only does his tank overheat and make him stop, but he gets lost in the mist.

Brian is holding an exhibition of his gravel and spoon collections. The inhabitants of the Enchanted Garden think this is less than interesting and don't want to go. Florence persuades them, so they all reluctantly turn up at Brian's' house.

After being entertained at Ermintrude's house, Brian decides to buy her a thank you gift. Florence arrives at Brian's house to find him in a bit of a palaver. He's been wrapping Ermintrude's present with great difficulty and is exhausted.

Dougal sets up shop as a Doctor. It can't be that hard, can it? Problem is, he gets bored with paying attention to everyone's small ailments and gets grumpy with his patients because he doesn't have any real illnesses to deal with.

Fly's antics knock Mr. McHenry off his tricycle, making him late for tea at Florence's house. The fall also makes Mr. McHenry very nervous about getting back on the tricycle again. He feels it has acquired a life of its own! Dougal and Dylan take it upon themselves to help Mr. McHenry overcome his fear, and Dylan ends up getting a lasso to stop the bike.

Dougal things Florence is the best friend ever and wants to do something nice for her. Ermintrude suggests baking a cake. The Magic Roundabout team do their utmost to keep Florence away from home while Dougal and Ermintrude make a terrible mess baking what is in fact a tripe and chocolate cake!

Brian is doing a very difficult jigsaw of Dougal, whilst Zebedee is complaining about the noise coming from Mr. Rusty's barrel organ.

Brian is surprised by the arrival of a female snail's appearance in the Enchanted Garden. Her name is Gloria and, she tells him, she's an expert on everything!

Florence has ordered some groceries from Mr. Grimsdale. Dougal is waiting outside the house to take delivery of the groceries, but instead of Mr. Grimsdale, Dougal is horrified to be confronted by Auntie Primrose. Argghhh, not again!

Florence asks Mr. Grimsdale to make a see saw as a surprise for Basil and Coral. Dougal is horrified at the thought that it might be placed over his bone patch. After checking that the offending item is not on the patch, he creeps on it and walks up and down.

Ermintrude finds a clump of unusual blue flowers in her field. Dougal thinks that they're rare and so he will be able to exchange them in return for pies. He and Fly plot to steal the blue flower when Dylan falls asleep while he's guarding it. Florence discovers the plant has gone.

The inhabitants of the Enchanted Garden are grumbling. Dougal is bored. Florence's flower patch is infested with insects. Dylan's exhausted from pulling up carrots.
