The series was originally broadcast from 1964 to 1971 on ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française).
Having originally rejected the series as "charming... but difficult to dub into English", the BBC later produced a version of the series using the original French-stop motion animation 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., Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay., The Magic Roundabout ( known in the original French as Le Manège enchanté ) was a French - British animated children 's television programme created in France in 1963 by Serge Danot , with the help of Ivor Wood and Wood 's French wife , Josiane .

The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a fast sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay-mation". Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect. Stop motion using objects is sometimes referred to as object animation., Subject: the magic roundabout, Relation: original_network, Options: (A) bbc (B) etc (C) office de radiodiffusion télévision française (D) one
