He shone Up above the trees and houses Periwonkle.

He's probably doing alternative comedy gigs at student venues now (like Keith Harris)

"up above the trees and houses......."

I knew someone else out there was singing along!

Oh dear oh dear

Geoffry is now a taxi driver apparently.....by all accounts he squandered his money after Rainbow.

As for Rod, Jane and Freddy ....a contributor to a forum suggested that they became swingers in Derbyshire and that Bungle also occasionally did a turn there. Don't think the contributor was being entirely serious Grin

My mother thought Rainbow was common (it was on ITV, wasn't it?) so I used to watch ail at other people's houses.

Periwonkle · 22/09/2013 19:46

It was itv you are right. Oo Geoffrey.

It was just one msn who did the voices of Zippy and George. He could just alternate the two seamlessly.

MrsBungle · 22/09/2013 20:12

Rod Jane and Freddy did swap around. I also heard about the swinging. Apparently Freddy is eccentric and is in the music business and v happy.?

SpottyDottie · 22/09/2013 20:14

Jane was married to Rod but has been with Freddy was years now.

Nooooooo

YUBVU

CustardOmlet · 22/09/2013 20:36

My mum also disapproved of itv, plus Zippy used to scare the shit out of me, too manic and unpredictable!

Clawdy · 22/09/2013 20:39

Remember the rude version of Rainbow on Youtube,it was hilarious,don't know if it's still on! And Jane always seemed a bit of a goody-two-shoes! Not in that...!!

JohnSnowsTie · 22/09/2013 20:50

Oh my God, when you said Geoffrey I had in mind the pink hippo thing! Shock

Thepowerof3 · 22/09/2013 20:50

Grin Manipulative bastard! I recently watched an episode where Bungle was playing with bricks and wouldn't let Zippy play as he is a bit manic, Geoffrey told Zippy to find something else to play so he decided to play at being a fisherman swinging his rod around right next to bungles tower of bricks knocking them over and upsetting Bungle no end

Periwonkle · 22/09/2013 20:58

John snow - not George, Geoffrey. Thepowerofthree, that was a funny episode too.

The chap who did Bungle was bound over to keep the peace in 2001 after a road rage incident. Not such a cuddly bear after all Grin

Elsiequadrille · 22/09/2013 21:06

Geoffrey was lovely, but not in that way!

MacaYoniandCheese · 22/09/2013 21:06

Are you feeling alright, OP? Grin.

Elsiequadrille · 22/09/2013 21:07

Bungle always seemed so reasonable.

Thepowerof3 · 22/09/2013 21:17

He was a tell tale

butterflyroom · 22/09/2013 21:26

Thank you so much. Great thread! Grin

Thepowerof3 · 22/09/2013 21:34

Apparently during the roads rage incident he 'launched a foul mouthed tirade that would make Zippy blush' and the journalist reporting felt it necessary to point out he that he wor a 'sober grey suit instead of his trademark furry one' to court

MyBaby1day · 23/09/2013 01:02

Thepowerof3, I am afraid Zippy is mine!!, hands off!! Grin
