Go To

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

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Crush the Keepsake: Discussed at the beginning of the episode. Dougal wants to smash up the clock with a hammer after hearing its loud cuckoo sound, but Florence refuses to let him do that as it is a present from his great-grandmother.
  • Cuckoo Clock Gag: Dougal's great-grandmother's cuckoo clock is very starling for both Dougal and Florence that he tries to secretly give the clock to his friends. Thankfully, Dougal manages to silence the clock both completely and from operating when he willingly lets Mr. Rusty take the rotary gear out and use it to replace the worn out rotary gear for the Magic Roundabout.
  • Unwanted Gift Plot: Dougal finds the cuckoo clock very annoying and startling with the loud cuckoo sound, so he passes it on very secretly to Ermintrude behind her back. When it startled her, she secretly gives it to Dylan, who is asleep. When it does startle him, he unknowingly and secretly returns the clock to Dougal who then decides to give the clock to Brian and things went downhill into chaos from there.
