Geoffrey from Raibow

[Periwonkle]

Just saw an episode of it on YouTube and thought Geoffrey was much more attractive than I remembered. Aibu?

I loved Geoffrey and George, I hated Bungle and Zippy. RJ&F were just annoying, like when Mr Bennett started ruining Take Hart.

I once heard someone say when you meet Cameron Diaz up close she looks like Zippy.

You all need to seek help

OMG Lady, I will never look at Cameron Diaz in the same ways ver again....

Bungle was a petulant bastard.

I think I do need help, I'm getting angry just thinking about Bungle and his ways

I remember Zippy when rainbow first started. He was utterly horrible (but in a way that made children like him!) He was definitely toned down and made a bit better behaved in the later series. While on the subject, does anyone remember Pipkins? Hartley Hare was a similar character IIRC.

"Up above the streets and houses Bungles flying high, he opens up his hairy arse and shits in Geoffreys eye..." :o

just brilliant

The guy who does George and Zippy (Ronnie Le Drew) is alive and well and put on a show for a friends' mother's 75th birthday recently.

He had pics on FB of them popping up from behind the sofa. It was surreal.

It was Roy Skelton who voiced Zippy and George. Died in 2011.

Ronnie Le Drew 'operated' them. nice!

One of George's best lines "It's always a happy ending, Geoffrey!"

He's a square as McGeek for Geek Street in Geekville - sorry lol x

I like Bungle. Less of this petulant, tell tale stuff.

Stanley, yes remember pipkins, it was set in a shop I think?? was there a pig in it? off to U Tube

Pipkins was terrifying!

Beeyump - If Bungle had pearls he'd be constantly clutching them. He reminds me of my late MIL.

Was Pipkins the one with Hartley Hare? (a very creepy creature IIRC, and riddled with moths)

I can't stop laughing about that song yourma even my baby is laughing along innocently beside me!

I think we should get Geoffrey in for a web chat! So many memories of a childhood lol

I have just watched pipkins episode ' Hartley hate goes to the dentist' on U Tube. fantastic and much better than ironing.

hare obviously not hate!!

I thought you were going to say he's been arrested.

YourMaNoBra, I was just about to post that!

But as I can't, I will just say that I used to love George.

The bloke who did the voice for Hartley was interviewed on radio 4 last Saturday - the morning programme.
