THIS TITLE WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 18 NOVEMBER 2012.

Written and narrated by Eric Thompson (the driving force and voices behind the original Magic Roundabout), The Magic Ball was the first production from animation wizards Brian Cosgrove and Mark Hall, who would go on to create such masterpieces as Danger Mouse, Count Duckula and Chorlton and the Wheelies. First broadcast on ITV in the early 1970s it became a hit with the public, winning two silver medals at the Venice Film Festival of Children's Films and a silver Hugo at the Chicago Film Festival. This set contains all thirteen episodes of the second series.

Sam spends much of his time in his Aunt Mill's antiques shop, from where his amazing journeys begin. In distant places and strange new worlds he encounters a host of characters in need of assistance - from bored, lonely giants to stranded spacemen, shipwrecked sailors to bees with a fear of flying - and, with the help of the magic ball, he is always able to conjure up a solution!
