21 here lol. So glad I’m not the only one past the shows intended audience age that still watches this. Brings back a lot of nostalgia from my childhood. We had all the rainbow series on VHS. I just used to sit in front of the tv for hours on end, oblivious to the rest of the world. Time well spent
Classic programme and one that I watched as a child in the 1970s from approx 1975 onwards and beyond.......infact I watched them as a 20 year old! Here I am now watching this as a 40 year old! LOL! Great TV never dies.
Bungle is not necessarily gay. He gives that impression because he is emotionally intelligent. He would make an excellent modern family man, patient, good listener, understands where to define boundaries. Zippy is bright and energetic and shows great potential to be a successful entrepreneur in the City. George is definitely not gay, he is very macho and is so confident in his sexuality that he is able to dress in pink. The eye lashes show just how hirsute he is. My only concern is what he is doing with his arms. Geoffrey is a remarkable method actor. He really looks as if he is pretending to read the paper, a perfect caricature of a commuter on the train from Bromley.
Is it cruel or hilarious that I can see that? No, it's hilarious. I mean Fred Harris once gave the "Play School" toys what for after Little Ted fell over once too many times. So I can definitely see Geoffrey finally losing the rag with Zippy and Bungle.
Just watched an episode of this ...and 40 years rolled back. Zippy is still as irritating now as he was then....and he reminded me of some people in my past I wanted to throttle(!)
I used to watch this as a kid, and it was great to re-watch it again with my 3 year old niece here (who loves it). But, it's such a shame that the episode culminates with all the characters singing and joking about a poor animal that has been bred and slaughtered for no reason other than a meal. I feel so sorry for the poor pig that is used as an excuse for a fun element when the reality is that a poor animal has been treated so bad and murdered. Children should absolutely not be taught that it is fun to eat murdered animals. Absolutely disgraceful- and disgusting. Humans that eat meat are cannibals- they eat body parts of animals that are related to them and have the exact same body parts. I can't think of anything else that is more disgusting in an extreme horror way.
+Lamp Shade Where is it written that you can't eat a part of an animal just because you have the same part? Are you just making bullshit up on your own now? This must be a troll comment...
Lamp Shade Its not as if they are singing about a murdered poor animal, if you want people to stop eating meat you'll have to go around it another way, perhaps expose the appalling way pigs are kept in this country because people are unaware or seem to care less for pigs compared to cows, chickens etc. Despite pigs being amongst the most intelligent farm animals.
Let's analyse this: We have 4 guy's living in the same house with rainbows all over (Gay Pride Flag), One guy is pink and very camp another has a zip over his mouth (Kinky) and the other character is a Bear (Slang for hairy gay guy) and Zippy loves eating sausages especially when he has them to himself,There are three on the plate to go around the whole house except Jeff. You work it out. Not very suggestive is it?
I am 46 years old .....and , when they MADE the First Bungle ...he was Out of a 18 horror film, well scary .... so the made bungle different......Nice and soft and fluffy .
my first exposure to Rainbow (the show) is someone mentioning that the evil laughing at the end of Black Sabbath's "Am I Going Insane" reminded them of Zippy from Rainbow and wanted to see what this show was like, I wouldn't have discovered this show if it wasn't for me listening to Black Sabbath's "Am I Going Insane" on UA-cam
Nearly 50 and I'm addicted to watching this
Better than watching the news!!!

Im 39 and still like watching this 😂😂
zippy is a legend lol
My parents told me that this was their favourite show when they were kids. Now I see why they liked it.
Zo Jo same with my mom and dad
Omg same!!!!!
Zippy is an absolute ledge! 'Where are the sausages!' Lmfao
Zippy is my hero.
likewise
Classic programme and one that I watched as a child in the 1970s from approx 1975 onwards and beyond.......infact I watched them as a 20 year old! Here I am now watching this as a 40 year old! LOL! Great TV never dies.
Zippy reminds me of Norris Cole from Coronation Street.
After Rod, Jane and Freddy left Rainbow, the show just never felt the same again without them or their songs.
If Zippy wasn't difficult, no one would have bothered watching Rainbow 😂😂
This was late in the show's run, about a year before cancellation. And yet the material managed to stay fresh.
Zippy gave Bungle his sausage, and Bungle was finally happy and stopped stropping.
not seen rainbow since I was 4/5 years old, remember it well
I'm Facebook friends with Ronnie Le Drew, who puppeteered Zippy. He also worked on "The Muppet Christmas Carol".
Give the Zipmeister his fucking sausages NOW......he has no one to apologize to!
Zippy was a classic. Zippy for prime minister defo
Sometimes I catch myself doing a Zippy laugh. Usually laughing at someone's misfortune. :)
It was a crazy show back then, it's an absolutely fckng insane one now, lol.
zippys a legend :)
Zippys a legend! Fuck Dora the explorer and the Teletubbies, Rainbow is the best preschool show! i will happily watch it without complaint
Rio Collins search for Telesubbies on UA-cam.
I know.. I know this comment is very late compared to the video age... Oh well.

This was my fave show wen i was little in 2008
Zippy is currently an MP for Brexit in Boris Johnson's government.
Awwww poor zippy! He might be selfish but he's too adorable to be mad off
lol I love the way George says 'Zippy' right at the start!
I love the way they always thanks Geoffrey at the end of a story
I loved rainbow. I've recently shown it to my 8 year old daughter but she sadly doesn't share my enthusiasm for the show😂
Zippy`s good at everything except for shutting his trap
Zippy should have had his own TV series ,record deal ,movie franchise. Would have been bigger than Elvis
Zippy is a self centered , mean , greedy cry baby -I love him
give the boy his sausages, ffs!!
I admire Zippy's sharing ability
Daisy and Kate wouldn't let William join in any of their games, So William tore their fucking heads of and had a tasty snack
No wonder Geoffrey snapped and beat them all to death with frozen sausages the very next day
Is it cruel or hilarious that I can see that?
No, it's hilarious. I mean Fred Harris once gave the "Play School" toys what for after Little Ted fell over once too many times. So I can definitely see Geoffrey finally losing the rag with Zippy and Bungle.
I like to hear Zippy learn Italian
2018? 2019- Year of Zippy!
When I was 3 I missed all the innuendo in this show. How did that even happen?
Zippy ,orange , full of himself ,loudmouth, cant think who he reminds of
Jeffrey never seen a mouse abseiling up your phone cable 😂😂😂
I heard Jimmy saville done the lot of them while Jeffrey pulled the balls of himself watching!!
There was a lot of fat sausage-sharing going on that day
WTF??😮😮😮......only joking 🤣🤣🤣🤣😝😂😂😝🤣
This show is amazing
Where did zippy's sausages go to when he ate them.....on the floor maybe...!
1:31 """"taisy """"and Kate ..... Tut, tut,tut 40 years later... Who would know the Internet would catch you out Geoffrey. I loved rainbow.
Zippy has the same traits of my ADHD son poor thing
Try watching this when you are high
Bring back capital punishment.
Daisy and Kate are clever mice making their own wee seesaw and boat
Wow who know zippy loved sausage!
5:00 ...not the first time George has swallowed sausage!!!!!
Just watched an episode of this ...and 40 years rolled back. Zippy is still as irritating now as he was then....and he reminded me of some people in my past I wanted to throttle(!)
It's so awesome
Hey,where's Jane,and her "Two lovely maracas"? I would GLADLY share my "Fat Sausage" with her....lol :P
William the cat obviously represented Zippy
I put a bid in for a 1972 Zippy stuffed toy on ebay recently, but got outbid. Its not faaaaaaair!!!!! :(
Everyone always gives zippy a row

+Dragaan Not a troll comment at all. Just my opinion, of which I am entitled on the comments section regarding the video. :)
yeaaaaaahhhh......
I'm guessing you are a vegetarian

You work it out.
Not very suggestive is it?
Bungle was a prick! !!!
brandybuck1984 and zippy was
brandybuck1984 - he was a manic depressive poof of a bear, wasn't he?
:- /
I am 46 years old .....and , when they MADE the First Bungle ...he was Out of a 18 horror film, well scary .... so the made bungle different......Nice and soft and fluffy .
Zippy wasn't the villian of the peace ☮️ , Bungle was horrible to him really !🌈
Was Zippy voiced by the guy who played Alex Delarge in A Clockwork Orange?
Who was the original bungle bear as well as john leeson.
Those fat sausages sitting on the wall...........? the wall looks awfully like a fucking plate. I knew I was a thick spaz
Cat is friend with mouse in Muriburiland
Really? Because I thought the puppet had a working intestinal system as well!
Oh my God have I been fooled...
Lol the little girl in the animation gets mad because she can't TAKE the boy's doll? How is he selfish?
My Manager is a lot like Zippy!, God bless her though, i don't think she knows any better
Why exactly?
Wasn't there a Rod Jane and Freddy sex scandal? Have to look that up.
You don't even get the point of a childrens' story!
the hippo cracks me up
Zippy then 😂
George was the best one out of them. Such a sweet and kind hippo.
So they new then did they ????
I like biscuits
5:27-5:33 That's telling him, Bungle! :D
Zippy 😂😂
That not nice zippy
@cottonwhiskersuk
I need a new keyboard now. You made coffee came out of my bloody nose.
Zippy as bad as Albert Steptoe...
Bungle is a fucking gay boy. If he was in prison, he'd be the bitch and he'd love it!
I used to think George was a girl! But no, he is definitely a fella
Willy and the cat?
Cool
Zippy sure loves fat sausages
Is Zippy a... Sack boy?
Zippy's a bigger one, though!
Man, Daisy and Kate were bitches.
Did you save some for... for... that dick with the zip?
@georgieonmymind me too. God i hated them as a kid, so blunt and loud!
Are you serious?
EXTERMINATE!
That is awsome!
No says no
That's bungle and he's not scary
hate the sound effects in the short animation
LOL so funny
hippo*
3 fat sausages tee hee
Lol. You can hear the sarcasm in Zippy's voice right through the episode.
zippy's accent in itself is entertainment enough xD
Never watched this show as a kid, first time watching it, and this zippie puppet I can tell by him singing is sociopathic in some way XD
*****
That explains alot actually XD
my first exposure to Rainbow (the show) is someone mentioning that the evil laughing at the end of Black Sabbath's "Am I Going Insane" reminded them of Zippy from Rainbow and wanted to see what this show was like, I wouldn't have discovered this show if it wasn't for me listening to Black Sabbath's "Am I Going Insane" on UA-cam
Drinking game:
Take a sip every time Zippy utters one of the following before a sentence: eh, jeh, heh, yeah, er, un
+RCLeahcar Not a good idea, you'd be comatose under the table after just three minutes!
Or you'd be completely dead if you took a sip for every time a character says "well", too.
I'm proper wankered....
I liked that Story Geoffrey told I'm glad William learned his lesson about being Bossy an I'm glad Zippy did too
Zippy is a fucking legend!!! Loved him when I was a kid
