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.

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

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.

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

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)

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.
