Go To

The forty-nineth episode of the first season of the 2007 revival series of The Magic Roundabout.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Delicious Distraction: Dougal gets easily distracted by a bone sticking out of the grass that he digs it up and rather unwittingly brings it back to Florence who isn't very pleased.
  • From Bad to Worse: When Mr. Pickles was shrunk after being washed by Ermintrude, Dougal and Brian try to stretch it back to its normal size, but tears it apart by accident. After a shocked Florence tells Dougal to put the teddy back together, Dougal calls for Zebedee to repair Mr. Pickles, but because Mr. Rusty had taken out the magic gasket from the roundabout, Zebedee's magic reduces the teddy into a scorch mark. Fortunately, when Mr. Rusty confidently places the gasket back in the roundabout, Zebedee restores Mr. Pickles to its former glory.
  • Good Luck Charm: Mr. Rusty's prized teddy Mr. Pickles is this when he needs him to place the magic gasket back in the roundabout after he did repairs. It was important to Mr. Rusty because the last time he placed the gasket in the roundabout, he forgot his lucky teddy and caused parts of the roundabout to fly out.
  • Good News, Bad News: This exchange when Dougal brings the remains of Mr. Pickles to Florence.
    Dougal: I've got some good news and some bad news about Mr. Rusty's lucky teddy. The good news is, I got Mr. Pickles right here.
    Florence: (frowning suspiciously) And the bad news, Dougal?
    Dougal: He's now a lucky bag of bits.
    (He shows her the remains of Mr. Pickles in a paper bag.)
    Florence: (gasps) Dougal! I don't think Mr. Rusty is going to think this is very lucky!
  • Shrunk in the Wash: After finding Mr. Pickles dirty, Dougal takes it to Ermintrude to wash it. Of course, it instantly shrinks when it came out of the wringer after Ermintrude washed it and wrings the water and soap out.
