If you've ever wondered what the guys who played George, Zippy and Bungle looked like in the flesh, click here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8qHeKR9rdrRgYU.htmlm17s :-)

It's great to see Rainbow tackling the important social issues of the day, such as widespread unemployment.

Rainbow was a national children's hit which everyone loved watching as part of CITV

When my daughter was born , she was given Bongo as a little present , we named him Zippy by mistake . 29 years later , Zippy is doing well , he has a focked up eye though !

RIP Patsy and Geoffrey. National Treasures.

Glad to see an Auntie Patsy episode after all these years.

Rod, Jane and Freddy’s song is damn spectacular. Somebody needs to send this to David Bryne.

I am 51 years old and off work with flu. Rainbow is the tonic.

As a fellow Carry On films fan AND Rainbow fan, its fabulous to find an episode with 'Aunty' Patsy Rowlands :-)

Anyone else here from James A Williams?

Awww, Patsy Rowlands. One of the best of British. Such a loss.

Still love rainbow, such wonderful memories of it, zippy will always be my fav💛

The song that Rod, Jane and Freddy sing is very reminiscent of the songs "Live It Up" by the Austrailian rock band Mental as Anything and "I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Love Rod, Jane and Freddy's song in this. Also done solo by Rod in the "Emotions" episode of their own TV series!

One of the best Rod, Jane & Freddie songs ever!

3:17, how adorable are they in the car? 😍, if I'd have seen them I'd have to stop to hug them.....especially little Zippy! 💙

Zippy bungle and George looked hilarious in the car

I absolutely love this episode of Rainbow it is one of my favourites

Wonderful Patsy Rowlands. She was great in some of the "Carry on..." films. :)

Bungle terrifies me. The way he moves, and that dead expression on his face

That song is a masterpiece

I use to love watching Rainbow when I was a child seem to remember it use to be shown at lunchtime once per week during the late 80s/early 90s?

great upload. takes me right back to my childhood.

It’s sad to announce the death of Geoffrey Hayes, who died today at the age of 76. It was annoying Uncle earkuer today. R.I.P to a wonderful person

6:15 Who came here from James A Williams

Initially there were no plans for a second series of Zzzap! The reason Zzzap was created in the first place was to support Meridian as the new ITV broadcaster for the South East of England and to expand both Meridians’ and The Media Merchants’ children’s output - which was by January 1993 limited to 3 programmes (Zzzap, Wizadora and Eye of the Storm). Both Zzzap and Wizadora had proved successful and were recommissioned for new series. Series 2 of Wizadora was broadcast in Autumn - this time on the CITV slot. The first series of Wizadora was broadcast during the predominately pre-school lunchtime slot (Other programmes sharing the slot included Tots TV and Allsorts. The lunchtime slot was previously used for pre-school Thames/ Ragdoll/ Central programmes such as Rainbow, Playbox, Rosie & Jim and Rod, Jane and Freddy). The slot was frequently not directly linked or mentioned as CITV - and was incorporated into afternoon CITV in September 1993. That was actually a few months after the out-of-vision continuity service with Steve Ryde began (that had started in February and the preschool shift happened in September). The presentation and idents for the first twenty minutes was different to the rest of the strand however, and there were four mascots: Abacat (who was a cat who counted on an Abacus, is that the one you remember?), Cheesy, Mr. Clockface and Ruskman, who all remained until Stephen & Danielle came along in 1998. It was part of a substantial revamp of ITV daytime in Autumn 1993. Families was axed, the preschool programmes were merged into CITV, This Morning gained an extra 10 minutes as a result (the other ten minutes given to regional news) & Supermarket Sweep made it's debut at 9:25.

Amazing Episode

Thanks so much for uploading this to KZfaq this is one of my favourites and I absolutely love this one

Used watch this as a kid loved George hippo

I always liked Zippy ! 😊

RIP Freddy 😭

This episode of Rainbow was Social Behaviour Groups and it was originally shown at 11:10am on Tuesday 23rd February 1988 but this was a repeat from later that day.

Wouldn't you just want to headbutt Zippy. Great program of the time.

Does any know what song is in the background when they are driving in the car

5:43 - 7:47 this song helped me SOOOOOO much mentally

Zippy turning down food

This week - Rainbow critiques the economic legacy of Thatcherism.

Haha, what I wouldn't give to see that car just casually going past as though it were the most normal thing in the world. Is Geoffrey still taxi driving these days? I have an idea for a booking. I watched an episode online recently of them all going on a camping break in the "real" world. The unfortunate sight of Geoffrey in a pair of shorts is permanently burnt into my retina.

loving Geoffrey jumper

Awesome Episode

much better than anything now

What lessons can we learn from this

5:42 for those who are here from James A Williams. Thank me later.

Bring your pet to George the vet 😀😀😀quality scripts from this as well 👍👍

3:49-3:53 Bungle's always been tall, though.

I wonder if Rod Jane & Freddie had a band, back in the 60s or the 70s

5:34 James A Williams got me here

Zippy wears trainers? 2:21-2:25

Do you have the full CITV Broadcast?

I love your travels

RIP Patsy Rowlands

Your All Here For 5:42

If you come across anymore episodes of Rainbow can you upload them to KZfaq because they would be great to see

Lost her job, can’t she find find it anywhere?

Hi do you have any Rainbow episodes from 1990 or 1991?

Nice

Have no memories of Rainbow being on the afternoon slot of CITV….. I remember it was showing on the lunchtime slot between This Morning and the news, but that was not done with any in studio presenters

has anyone got the episode "Humpty Dumpty"? been wanting to see that for years and never found it. any help would be appreciated :)

Can you upload Social Behaviour - Others please?

Hi

Upload more old rainbow episodes please like these ones plz?

wow I thought Rainbow was a BBC series not ITV

I wish they would make nick jr aimed at children under seven years pre kindergarten programing

I wish they would make nickelodeon primarily aimed at children and adolescents aged three and eighteen years old younger children ages of three and six noggin it was initially aimed at teenage audience shifted key demographic who are older adult viewers aged 19 to 35 it is nineteen to forty five year old viewers 19 to 50 year olds persons 36 to 50 year olds 36 to 65 36 65 to pre kindergarten audience

Where's Moon Cat ?

Its the Tories. Even kids programs reflect reality. Auntie lost her job. Everything is fucked. Auntie is doing telephone chat lines instead.

Zippy. Trump.

Wow I suddenly remembered how much I hated George.
