My dad, my mum and my Religion teacher at school all watched this growing up. I also watched this on UA-cam when I was younger (thanks to my parents telling me of this show’s existence) I remember being quite sad when I got the news that Geoffrey Hayes had died back in September 2018
A few years ago I went to see 'Rainbow Live - Zippy Superstar DJ' with the equally late Mr Skelton still voicing Zippy and George and an all new presenter who coped admirably. I was perturbed there was no mention at all of Geoffrey at the time. After the show I asked about this omission and upon asking permission to do the show Mr Hayes had suggested this state of affairs to allow the new presenter to enjoy the full glory and not be compared in any way or detract from his performance - when you consider at the time Geoffrey's probable low financial status that speaks volumes. RIP Geoffrey.
@@bencoleman8350 And he's obviously eaten that guy and used his face to speak through. There's too much brightness on this video and you an see inside Bungle's mouth!
I don’t understand why Bungle wears PJs for bed but goes around naked through the day!!! Interestingly the announcement about Rainbow books at the end seems to be pre-recorded by Tom Edwards, as he clearly wasn’t duty announcer at Thames that day.
Did u know Jane is now married to Freddie.... U must read the true story behind the scenes of the rainbow house!I tell you would be shocked.jane had a relationship with both rod and Freddie!Jane married Freddie marks a couple of years ago.sadly Jeffrey died.did u know Jeffrey was in z cars before rainbow house?you must read the true story behind the scenes you would be like what Jane didn't do that...oh yes X rated stories
@@jess7670 Something funny went on a few years ago and the Thames kids' archive changed hands, and the new owners seem even less keen than the old ones. It doesn't make any sense to me, and it's a real pity.
@@VideotapeFTW I found a rainbow episode either last year or something like that and came across an episode where Geoffrey was eating spaghetti and Asked if George Bungle and zippy want food and say that they are full, do you know what rainbow episode I am talking about?
Here's an episode in which Geoffrey is especially brilliant imo: ua-cam.com/video/4CE5HoJpvr4/v-deo.html Good to see you're uploading again. More 'You and Me' and 'Spatz' please.
Haha - the one where Geoffrey plays Graham Chapman playing that sergeant major. :-) (P.S. Yep, more of those soon, all being well. In the meantime, I've just put up another Rainbow: ua-cam.com/video/XtYL-l9KgkQ/v-deo.html)
Yeah, I've seen those earliest Bungles. What in the world were they thinking?! "Okay, costume department, we need a nice cuddly teddy bear." And then someone came up with _that!_
FYI - No she isn't. She was married to Rod, they divorced in 1979 but continued working together. Freddy joined in 1980. They slowly fell in love and started going out together in 1985. WITH ROD'S BLESSING! So don't call her that thanks
If you can't watch this without a massive smile on your face, you have no soul. It's just wholesome goodness (and Zippy).
R.I.P. Geoffrey and thanks for all those fun moments and keeping me entertained when i was a child
That looked an excellent VCR for '84 to have recorded a crisp, sharp, clean picture. And good enough that it came through on UA-cam.

That's _really_ heartwarming! I honestly wonder whether Geoffrey had any ego at all...
Yeah
My gran watches this
It's safe to say I wouldn't want bungle making me a cup of tea
Is it just me does bungle walk around with nothing on all day and then wear pyjamas in bed doesn't make sense
@@bencoleman8350 And he's obviously eaten that guy and used his face to speak through. There's too much brightness on this video and you an see inside Bungle's mouth!
Nice to see that Geoffrey wrote this episode. Well not Bungle's story though.
I don’t understand why Bungle wears PJs for bed but goes around naked through the day!!!

Blimey, four icecreams for only £1.10!! Would barely buy you one now.
@5:32 - I spy with my little eye something beginning with "C" ..
There should have been a redhaired female vocalist with Rod, Jane and Freddy.
They'd have been Abba for Under 10s.
1:17 you can't see the actor’s mouth
You mean its a real person in there?
I've always loved rainbow, zippy and Jane are the best ,
Did u know Jane is now married to Freddie....

Does anyone live near to a celebrity or use to live near one from a kids Tv show or an adult show or movie?
R.I.P. Geoffrey Hayes
Geoffrey so funny😅 like everyone in the morning bog off leave me alone😅
Have you got any more episodes
Not at the moment, but if I find any more, I'll upload them.
Why are some of the rainbow episodes not all on UA-cam?
The company that owns them aren't really interested in making them available, unfortunately, so we've got to make do with what we can find ourselves.
@@VideotapeFTW yeah I guess so but why are sooty and rainbow not on there?, were they worried about things getting copyrighted or blocked?

Why didn't geoffrey's just tell bungle at the beginning that it was the weekend?
Perhaps he was supposed to be half asleep.
Probably because he just wanted to sleep
@@jess7670 yes thats true
@@gsf5882😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes you've definitely found the flaw in the plot of this one😀
Nice Episode
Same
Have you seen the pilot episode of Rainbow? Bungle was really scary in those days! And Zippy is always hungry, remember that Marmite advert?
Yeah, I've seen those earliest Bungles. What in the world were they thinking?! "Okay, costume department, we need a nice cuddly teddy bear." And then someone came up with _that!_
Yeah, I've seen the advertisement too
What’s everyone’s three favourite episodes of Rainbow?
Touch and feel, tricks and jokes and the one with the wobbly television.
Where do you find all of your Rainbow and sooty episodes from?
VHS recordings made at the time.
@@VideotapeFTWhave you got any more episodes of rainbow on there please?
Rip rainbow 😭
Jane was a bit of a slapper - She used to be married to Rod, then she dumped him and started dating Freddie instead !
FYI - No she isn't. She was married to Rod, they divorced in 1979 but continued working together. Freddy joined in 1980. They slowly fell in love and started going out together in 1985. WITH ROD'S BLESSING! So don't call her that thanks
