Nick Jr. has picked up the rights to a remake of the classic children's TV show The Magic Roundabout.
Ermintrude and Zebedee will reappear on UK television screens in 52 episodes of computer generated animation. Each episode will run for 11 minutes and will be produced by Films Action of Paris and Silver Fox Films of London. "The original Magic Roundabout TV series was a charming cultural phenomenon which entertained generations of children," Nickelodeon UK managing director Howard Litton told Broadcast. "The beautiful CGI animated adventures are sure to be a big hit with today's discerning young viewers." No transmission dates are available at present but the new series has been officially unveiled at MipTV. Source: Digital Spy _________________________________________________ "a charming cultural phenomenon"? - it was a pointless filler between the proper kids TV and the news as far as I'm concerned. Best left to die with the poor generation that had to suffer it the first time around.

And if you think thats scary have a look at this one in Swindon!
http://www.gpsdrawing.com/gallery/la...roundabout.htm Which has this description: The Magic Roundabout consists of five clockwise mini roundabouts in a ring. There is also an outer clockwise roundabout and an inner anticlockwise roundabout, perhaps one of the only places in UK where such a structure will be found. As you approach the roundabout it becomes apparent that there are a number of ways of getting to your destination: You can take the first exit at the first mini roundabout and join the middle lane towards the second mini roundabout, whereupon you take the second exit. Repeat this until you are approaching the desired exit mini roundabout, join the left hand lane and take the first exit. In effect you are orbiting the outer clockwise roundabout. Alternatively you can counter-revolve the inner roundabout by taking the second exit at the first roundabout, and continue taking the first exit in the left hand lane. To leave you need to get into the right hand lane and take the second exit. You can stay on the magic roundabout indefinitely with careful use of the third exit - treating pairs of roundabouts and their conjoining traffic islands as roundabouts in themselves.
