1. Which actor and writer, who has a daughter named Emma, adapted 'The Magic Roundabout' from the original French, and also did the voices in the original series?

From Quiz The Magic Roundabout

Answer: Eric Thompson

Eric Thompson, father of actresses Emma and Sophie Thompson, was the brains behind the British version of 'The Magic Roundabout'. Rather than working off the scripts by original creator Serge Danot, Thompson made up his own scripts and stories and gave the characters the personalities we know and love. He was one of the original presenters of the BBC edutainment series 'Play School', and went on to focus on directing after suffering a heart attack. Thompson died in 1982, and Nigel Planer (who fans of 'The Young Ones' might remember as hippy Neil) took over on narration and voice acting duties in 1991 when several new episodes of the series were released. He also re-narrated some of the Thompson-voiced episodes.

From Quiz So You Want to Be a Magical Girl

Answer: Hearing the voices of people in distress

Each magical girl has her own special ability, and in Snow White's case, it's the power to telepathically hear the voices of people in distress. She becomes a magical girl because she's always been a fan of magical girl anime and manga, and wants to use her powers to help those in need. It's also a practical skill to have as magical girls earn candies by doing good deeds and helping others, and they can use the candies to buy extra items.
