What of 'Pinwheel's' dub?


I always feel like a stranger in a strange land when in "Magic Roundabout" discussions. The dub I grew up with was that incorporated into "Pinwheel" (q.v.: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0224947/), and featured various actors portraying the characters rather than Eric Thompson's or anyone else's extemporaneous narration.

I haven't seen hide or hair of it since "Pinwheel" went off the air in the early 1990s; no reruns, no commercial videos, no nothin'. Since "Pinwheel" was a Canadian production, I'm going to hazard a guess that this dub was, as well. Does this ring any bells for anyone? Is this dub surviving anywhere in any form, whether shown on YTV in the dead of night or on Xth-generation VHS tape? "Boing! Time for bed" is cute, but it just doesn't hit the nostalgia buttons for me.

I faintly remember this from Pinwheel, but I don't remember any dialogue from then. The voices seem familiar to me, but it could be related to Pattington Bear and Eric Thompson.
