It's very sad that after Rainbow, Geoffery ended up stacking shelves in a supermarket. None of the other three kept in touch. Now he's no longer with us.
LOL I’m Upset I Wish I Was In That Program I Miss Geoffery And I Like Zippy And God They All Made Me Laugh If Only I Could Talk To Geoffery I’d Love To
I was genuinely devastated when I heard Geoffrey had died. I was at work at the time and had to go in the toilets to compose myself. Zippy was an absolute legend.
It's Jeffery I worry about. One wonders what happened to this man in his life that he should find himself in such drastic circumstances? not to mention the individuals he chooses to freely associate with.
I propose the hypothesis that Jeffrey took a bad acid tab in 1967, and has spent the remaining years tied down to a bed in a mental institution experiencing a never ending barrage of traumatic and horrifying hallucinations - of which Bungle, Zippy and George are a part of.
I remember watching Geoffrey, Zippy and co in New Zealand on tv back in the early 1980s. I will be 44 in November. Time goes fast doesn't it? R.i.p Geoffrey Hayes. I have just uploaded a n interview with the man who played zippy talking about Geoffrey. On my channel from October 2018. Check it out...
I was 2:22 in and the realisation hit me that I'm a middle-aged man... it's 2am... the family's in bed... I'm working at my desk... _WATCHING RAINBOW!_ /facepalm I suppose I could be watching something worse... just.
Honestly,, I think it's important for a man to have a secret inclination to indulge in. If yours is watching Rainbow at 2am, then I think it's a healthy and safe activity to partake in.
As I said before, Bungle's tower was clearly shit and it was also built in the way of Zippy's spoon. They shouldn't mess up Zippy when he's being a Fisherman or place inappropriate structures in his way. Geoffrey and George were obviously blind.
This happened a few years ago... When I was in Year 9 (I live in UK, but Year 9 is my country’s version of England’s Year 8) we were having a joint class with the Year 10s in our Religion class. One of the kids in the class was talking too much, so the teacher compared him to Zippy from Rainbow, and told the child that if he didn’t be quiet, he’d zip his mouth shut. Lol! 😂😂😂
"we were having a joint class" - your school gave classes on how to roll up spliffs? I assume you went to a comprehensive school, rather than a grammar or private school.
Oh, be a bit more charitable. Someone had to look after them, although he probably wondered what he did to deserve the most pathetic and annoying bear ever, a camp pink hippo and some sort of demon-possessed rugby ball.
As kids watching this in the early 80’s my little friend used to get so enraged and disgusted at Zippy’s rudeness, whilst I rolled around the floor laughing. 40 years on, she’s a registered nurse. And I’m a sociopath 🫠 😂
What kind of drug fuelled horror story is this? Geoffrey lives in a house with a strange pink hippo, and whatever Zippy is supposed to be and a teddy bear that came to life. OMFG this is the creepiest thing that has been made ever.. what were our older generation thinking?????
If you view in the context of a documentary about a man who took a bad acid tab in 1967 which caused a perpetual state of hallucinations - it makes perfect sense.
@@gsf5882 I propose the hypothesis that Geoffrey has simply been experiencing an perpetual and horrific bad acid trip since 1967, of which the characters are all a part of.
I wonder what age Goerge Hayes was when he passed away. Looking after that little shit Zippy must have taken a few years off him. Loved him (zippy) all the same!.
In another episode they whine away about how Geoffrey is supposed to be looking after them and he says something like 'I know I am sorry' and in another they are worried that his aunt won't be able to look after them as if he's the only person in the whole world who could. It's horrible that he's stuck in that situation where he has that responsibility and isn't free to get a wife and normal kids of his own. ;-) I wonder how the whole situation came about? In real life I am in a similar position of caring for an adult family member and I sometimes feel trapped. If I was Geoffrey I would retort, 'why should I?'
Bungle the bear looks different in sounds different compared to the first couple of episodes is he played by different actors and like the outfit of bungle is totally different
Zippys want's to go to the park to sell some gear He's needs Bungle for protection Don't think Zippys going to get to The stash in the park some how He must be gagging for a fix also☹️🕯️😅

Zippy's in my top 5 comedy characters. I don't care that it's for kids, it's bloody funny.

What happened to geffoery how did he died???😢
He died a few years ago, he'd been ill for a while. He was 76.
Born in 72 this was a must to watch as a kid, loved the theme music. RIP Geoffrey x

Zippy might be a jerk and Bungle might be an absolute plonker but George was often unfairly treated and shouted at for nothing.
That's OK, he pissed in their tea when they were not looking.
George was gayish so he had it coming

Same 🤦🏽♀️
I’m a middle-aged woman who has also been secretly watching the dark underworld of Zippy. You are not alone. (*erases search history at 4am)
I'm in my 20s, Rainbow was way before my time and yet here I am finding comfort in it.
Don't let women ruin our fun!
like many others i grew up watching Rainbow and loving it, Geoffrey has now gone, thanks Geoff for all the childhood memories,God bless ya mate.

I know, fucking twats.
This is all objectively true.
Let's be honest, Bungle was really annoying. I'd probably knock his stupid tower over as well.
😂😂😂

"Oh look...its fallen over again!" 🤣🤣
“You’re not a very good builder are you Bungle?”
😂
Geoff was a legend putting up with those muppets!
Money is an amazing thing isn't it
@@masterknife8423 He was probably paid foster care payments.

Nostalgia strikes at any or day .
@@jakewilliams5608 Indeed. A Thursday would be far more appropriate.
I wonder if Geoffrey always drank heavily after he finished doing one episode of Rainbow. I bet he drank heavily after the show ended. Anyway RIP
Probably shot up heroin behind the studio with Jayne.
Zippy selling the gear 🎉
He could cause chaos in an empty room.
Geoffrey always had such lovely highlights, in his hair that is.

@@JamesChattingI loved Bagpuss, and I'm Gen Z.
(Context: Bagpuss used to play on Nick Jr. Classics when I was younger)
There'd have been no point in Rainbow without Zippy 😂😂
"It was Bungle's fault!"
Zippy might be a jerk, but the others are totally lame
zippy's brilliant lol
Bungle walks freely around the house, naked.....but has to wear a vest when he's on holiday?
Liam Jordan I'm personally more concerned about where the fuck Zippy's arm grows from.
Bungle can't wear clothes due to his insanely thick fur making him hot. His blood is thought to be molten lava and his breath can melt diamond.
He wears ankle warmers in one episode whilst naked
BEEFYBAYONET I only just realised this and I'm in tears 😂
And wears pyjamas when he goes to bed 😂
No blummin PC BS, or reasoning! The 80's 👌
Theyre all on acid!
Geoffrey is the dealer. That's why he's always so chill. He supplies them with acid in return for deviant sexual favours.
@@mousecoder1306sounds like an adult swim parody
I vaguely remember watching Rainbow live on stage when I was very small 😊
Was this in Hanley? I went to see Rainbow live too.
@@RW-nr6bh Possibly Liverpool. As I said, I was very young
I'm waiting for Rainbow on ice..

George was a pussy.
R.I.P Geoffrey
Geoffrey was like a father to them
What is his relationship supposed to be? Why is he living in Rainbow house being a father to them?
@@gsf5882 I propose the hypothesis that Geoffrey has simply been experiencing an perpetual and horrific bad acid trip since 1967, of which the characters are all a part of.
rest in peace, Geoffrey

I once dated a woman who would call me a little shit. MInd you, she used to perform anal rimming on me. She had a fascination with it.
RIP Geoffrey and Zippy needs a good stout kick up the arse......
Zippy always was a complete arsehole. A generation cheered when Geoffrey zipped his mouth shut.
RIP Geoffrey
Zippy is not a Jerk hes abousoluty amasing hes my hero so funny
Zippy is my fav one he is so funny makes me 😂
He's Gangsta🤑✊
Coke withdrawal is a bad thing ☹️

It's time that ITV commissioned the production of a Rainbow prequel series to explore the sequence of events that led to this horrifying situation.
George didn't have a clue and went coo coo. Great stuff and character study! ZIPPY!
RIP Geofferey!
Zippy is class
Got it at last! Zippy was Farage the Garage’s previous incarnation. Wrecking everything 😂
