Of Interest: Originally a French TV series, 'The Magic Roundabout' became a massively popular show when it was redubbed and essentially re-written as a 5 minute English TV spot in the 1960's and 70's - and again in 1990 when another bunch of un-broadcast episodes were found. A cult hit with adults, drug references and such are often insinuated in the character of Dylan the Rabbit, and the general psychadelic feel of the show (and its even more surreal early 70's feature film) - something which the producers of the new movie version have absolutely run with, since Dylan is portrayed as a stone-out hippy. 'ZeBadDee' is played by Tom Baker - the fourth and most famous 'Dr Who'
