  • Matt Roush reviews The State Within | Matt Roush | 2/7/2007
    Even without the accents, you'd know The State Within (Feb. 17, 18 and 24 at 9 pm/ET on BBC America) was a British spy thriller for one reason: The hero doesn't pick up a gun until the final night, and he never fires it.

I can only assume that the Weinstein Group, which distributed Doogal in the U.S., figured there were two good arguments for changing the name. First, the target audience was young American kids and their parents, who would never have seen the original show. And second, "roundabout" isn't an American term — it's what we call a merry-go-round.
