Coming across this video in my childhood home turned out to be a bit of a emotional moment for a 50 year old bloke!...Big thank you to all those children entertainers of the 70s and 80s of British television. Thanks for making this video 👍

      Now I’m older I have a theory that the reason they were so good and all so different was that they were made by people who were part of the late 60s/70s crowd who experimented with a lot of drugs, that’s why the programs especially animations & cartoons were so fantastical

We all knew the songs, one in particular was called four in a line, which we sang on her first holiday in Majorca - me, her dad, our little girl and her toy dog being the four! She’ll be 40 this year! 😂. Happy days. Thanks for the memories Rod, Jane and the rest of the Rainbow 🌈 gang. RIP Freddy x

    Rainbow was not only the highlight of my childhood, it was also my introduction to UA-cam -- in 2006 my then boyfriend showed me the private video of the Rainbow cast performing an extremely suggestive, not for broadcast, episode that wound its way onto the Internet.
    This is honestly a pretty wholesome video to be honest. Too many of these groups dissolve into rancour and drugs and other horrific incidents. This is how it really should be done and I salute these awesome performers who made it work long beyond the cancellation of their flagship series.
    RIP Freddy ❤ -- you not only brought joy to me as a viewer, but to your fellow performers. I hope Rod and Jane are also doing well in their sunset years.

    I remember the very first Rainbow, there was no George and Bungle was not the fluffy bear he became, he was very scary! When my daughter was little, she too grew up with Rainbow (now with George and the fluffier but annoying Bungle) along with Rod, Jane and Freddie. We went to a number of their shows and still treasure our signed posters and cassette music! We went to their very last show at the Assembly Hall in Tunbridge Wells. It was very moving and Rod was so tearful. The final song was 'You put a smile on my face'! Which they all did for many years. Thankfully we have our videos and youtube to continue enjoying the work of this remarkable trio with a smile on our face. And of course, we still have the occasional 'Wobble'!

We were a little bit late to be rainbow's target audience, but none the less we watched it, if only to see Jane (who was quite a hotty!!). Sad to here about Freddie, though. By the by, any old rainbow fans should google 'the original bungle bear'. The original bungle suit had to be changed as it scared the hell out of the kids.

    I still remember their harmonies. Probably the first time I'd heard that sound and possibly a large part of me turning out to be a musician.

    you should do a feature on The Pink windmill kids on Emus world/All live pink windmill show, that was on ITV here in the UK throughout the 80s. It was aimed at slightly older kids than Rainbow and was a really fun show. Worth checking out for sure. 🙂

    Watching this and reminiscing the past; 70s children's television was educational, and entertaining at the same time. And I can't believe how much I loved it all. It really was a genre on its own peopled with talented and creative performers dedicated to the craft. I think us kids growing up during that time - I'm for instance in my mid fifties were very much spoilt. I wish the surviving members of Rob and Jane all the very best.

    The joy Rainbow bought to me as a kid. On a Tuesday and Friday, I insisted to my mum that I wanted lunch at home. So dead on 12pm, I’d run all the way home from school to make it in time for the start of Rainbow at 12:10, then once it was over I’d run all the way back. Even now I watch this and smile.

      @ You and Me with Gary Wilmot and the lady from Tiswas. If I ran home real quick, I’d catch the end of Button-moon. This is why kids back then were so thin, all that running and adrenaline. Today they just watch it on Catch up or Sky plus it!

    I remember sitting in infants school one day just before dinner time. We used to watch the big TV on a stand, usually Felix The Cat and then something else like Hector's House. There was a new show on that day called Rainbow and we loved it. I watched it whenever I could, from that day right through to when it was eventually cancelled, and even now can do a REALLY good George and Zippy impression...😁

    l watched Rainbow when it started in 72 and watched it over the following years mostly because l fancied Jane the bubbly , cheerful girl l hoped l'd meet one day (never happened ) . Happy days and a heartwarming story of three talented people and one of the best TV childrens shows of the past .
