  • Another one of the Rainbow tapes I had as a child. I loved this one and was annoyed to discover I had lost my original tape. However, I got hold of another one recently and here it is.
    ---------------‐-------------------
    Cast update:
    Due to a sneaky crossover in Rainbow and CollinsAudio tapes, the cast for this recording can be confirmed as the following:
    Mr Fox/Farmer Bunce: John Baddeley
    Mrs Fox/Farmer Boggis: Jo Manning Wilson
    Farmer Bean: Edward Phillips
    Young Fox: Maggie Peacock
    Narrator/Farmer Bunce: Nigel Pegram
    ------------‐-------------------------
    Thanks to Fox Teen for helping me see where these series overlap each other.
    Thanks for listening, MG

    Hi all. Don't know if you will all see this in time (my channel is too small to do subscriber messages), but for anyone who is interested there is a copy of this rainbow tape on ebay right now. It's a sensible price too! (Friday 5th March). Thought I would mention it in case anyone is after it :) Take care, MG

    I just wanted to say a huge thank you for uploading these Roald Dahl audio cassettes. It's been at least thirty years since I last listened to any of them, but every word and piece of music is achingly familiar. Never thought I'd ever hear them again. My nostalgia-o-meter is shaking and giving off smoke and will probably explode 😂❤️

    Hello to you all! Since I can find no credits with regard to the cast on these recordings, I have been trying to cross reference voice actors across the different Rainbow tapes. If any of you out there have any info about the voice actors and which characters they play please message me or comment on one of the videos and let me know.
    I would very much like to put together a cast list for each dramatisation and I know that some of my past assumptions are in fact incorrect. Any info about ANY of the Rainbow dramatisations would be very helpful. Thank you and stay safe, MG

      @@TheMonkeyGrinder No problem. If my calculations are correct, Charlie and Fox were pushed forward to 1990 after the eighties just to keep up to date with the decade and maybe the list I posted had some continuity with Edward Phillips and Edward Kesley. I tried looking up and there was nothing I could find about Sue Sheridan.
