*wonders if Zippy has ever needed counselling*

Zippy should BE a counsellor, he's a lot less strung out than most of the UK's social workers!!!!! grin2.gif

If you only had 1 arm and 3 fingers and a blokes hand up your jacksie you'd find gripping and manipulating extremely difficult laugh.gif

That reminded me of something one of the Rainbow team mentioned in either a TV or magazine article. Kids often asked why they had one arm. They were generally told that George was shy and he like Zippy holding his hand out of sight on the set. dontgetit.gif

While looking for a picture of the Zipster for my signature, I discovered the following, somewhat embarrassing spectacle. The once great Zippy, prostituting himself on a cheap show, dressed as a lion. blink.gif

Here is a Rainbow Innuendo script laugh.gif : LOL!!!!



For those of you who don't have kids or are far too young to remember
the splendid children's TV programme "Rainbow", this may be a little
lost on you...... but it must have been a great episode to watch!
Almost too ridiculous to believe... These are taken from original
Rainbow scripts and there's no way these could have been done by
accident. Innuendo all the way....


 The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana...

Zippy: " One skin, two skin, three skin, four "

George: " Zippy, where is Bungle?"

Zippy: " I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"

We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from Behind it.

Bungle: " Geoffrey, I can't get it in"

Geoffrey: "You managed it last night"

Bungle: "I know, let's try it round the other way. Ooooooh, I've got it

in"

Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer

and peg kit

Bungle: " Would you stick this on the shelf, George"

George: " I can't reach, you'll have to stick it up yourself,

Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking about

playing"

Bungle: " Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"

Geoffrey:" Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you like to

play with?"

George:" Yesterday we played with each other's balls.

Are we going to play with our friend's balls today?

Bungle: " Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."

Geoffrey (to camera) Have you seen Bungles twanger?

Zippy:" Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it."

Bungle: " It's my plucking instrument."

Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle

Zippy:" I can, I'm the best plucker here."

George;" And I'm good at banging. My peg's hard isn't it Zippy?

Zippy:" Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn't go in if it was soft."

Geoffrey;" Let's get back to Bungle's twanger."

Bungle (excited) " Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all play with our twangers

couldn't we? Let's play the plucking song. Rod and Roger can get their

instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas."

Singers Rod, Freddy and Jane enter.

Freddy:" We could hear you all banging away"

Rod: "Banging can be fun."

Jane:" Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and

Freddy."

Freddy (looking sad) " Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument."

Rod (to Jane) " Do you want to blow on my pipe while I'm twanging away?"

Jane: " Oh no, I was banging away with Freddy last night. But would you

Like to play with my maracas?

Zippy; " No, let's just pluck away with our twangers."

George:"Yes, it doesn't matter what size our twanger is."

Zippy;" I've got a big red one."

George: " I've only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to

play with it."

Geoffrey (to viewers) " Well, have you got your twangers out? And

remember, you can bang your balls at the same time. If you haven't got

any, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let's all play the

plucking song."

Everyone in studio: " Pluck, pluck, pluck along, we're going to pluck

all day."

No-one else seems to remember Sunshine and Moony, but the scriptwriters could have had some fun with this 'odd couple' pairing and their bunk bed. wink2.gif

What was the line in the Shining? Come play with us?

I think I've just discovered a showbiz secret, children. Sunshine was the result of one of Sooty's liaisons during the 'lost years' of the mid '60s. One question remains: who was the mother?

They featured in the first, and maybe second, series. S and M didn't interact with the others, but had wee vignettes to themselves, a bit like 'Curly and Straight.'

With initials like that, they were made for Rainbow.

Actually, when you think about it, they literally were made for Rainbow. rolleyes.gif

George was sweet and droopy
Zippy always made me laugh grin2.gif
Cufflink
George was affable. Zippy was evil, in a way that was easy to admire. But what about Bungle? Has anyone picked Bungle, yet?

Yes, he had emotional issues. And a scary visage. And was annoying. And fur that looked like it had come from a crash involving a truck full of camels. But was he anyone's favourite?
Agent_21
I think Bungle became the butt of Zippy's 'evil', a well-meaning dope with inflated ideas of his own intelligence. A retarded yeti? His earlier incarnation looked really evil. I enjoyed the interplay between them all. laugh.gif
