methinks 'tis time for bed (said Zebedee).
Oooohh. Don't remind me - what nostalgic pangs I suffer for the Magic Roundabout - the children's TV show for the stoned generation..

I'm sorry, Bingley, but I found the link you provided more confusing than helpful - and I am a Magic Roundabout fan from way back. For our transatlantic friends, and any others for whom the phrase, "Magic Roundabout" doesn't immediately set your minds thinking of a dog with a deadpan voices and a rabbit with laid-back attitude, to say nothing of a cockney snail and a clover chewing cow, a word of explanation. "Magic Roundabout" was a cartoon feature for chidren which, like all of the best of children's entertainment - especially pantomime - ran on two levels: one for the children, which they enjoyed for what it was; and one for the adults, with a host of hidden meanings and satirical comment on the grown-up world. But I do have to say that I preferred Jasper Carrot's version - which ended up with, "It's time for bed." said Zededee: "Oh, Goody!" said Florence.

The genius behind it was Emma Thompson's father. Or is she too, too far back to be meaningful?

I'm not sure quite why I should be, but I'm stunned.

I always knew that there just had to be a link between Zebedee and Jane Austin. (or even Jane Austen)

Zebedee and Jane Austin.
Would this be J Austin Powers then? (I know, I know - no fair taking the mick out of typos, but on this occasion I couldn't resist...)
