I had to explain it to French friends who were LOL about the Swindon roundabout. (There are two different words in French for a traffic roundabout and a fun-fair roundabout).

It was a very popular French TV program originally named "Le Manège Enchanté". The French name for Zebedee was Zébulon.

Yes, but Eric thompson(UK presenter and father of Emma) only used the pictures. He created a whole other world of narrative and dialogue around those images that was, apparently, startlingly different from the original.
