Rainbow was my favourite children's TV programme growing up and I am sure my toddler would love it today if they showed the re-runs! Jeffrey was so eager and keen and just seemed like the sort of person who had endless energy. Zippy was hilarious and it was so funny when he got into a scrape or said something he shouldn't and Bungle, ... Read the complete review

Most people have heard of Rainbow, or at least are familiar with Zippy or George. It is a kids tv show which has found a place in our hearts and also in the halls of tv fame. Here are some reasons why I rate it so highly. * Geoffret the presenter was always very enthusiastic. There was never a moment when he seemed even the ... Read the complete review

I just about remember this show as I was very young when I watched it but I do have fond memories of the show and apparently according to my mother I was fascinated by one of the characters Bungle who was basically a bloke in a giant bears costume who was rather timid and very friendly. As a youngster I never realised how creepy the ... Read the complete review

Rainbow is one of my most fondly-remembered kids' TV programmes from my childhood. Its combination of bizarre characters, camp camaderie, an occasional bit of education and of course that cool title song was a winning one in the brightly-coloured 80s. The Characters: Geoffrey- the presenter. Looked a bit like Star ... Read the complete review

Once upon a time, there was a housing development. It was a land not so far from here - a strange, monochromatic little place, where the only colour to be found lay across the sky: a lovely rainbow. The good people of this land (and there were only four of them) were the cast of TV's Rainbow. And this is the story of Rainbow, which ... Read the complete review

Twelve o'clock, theres the bell. On with the coat, and out the door as quick as possible. Running down the road, waiting at the crossing, hoping the 'slow' lollypop man would hurry up, mumbling answers to his questions, and dashing off as soon as the man in the yellow suit had reached midway. One look at the watch, 12.05, ... Read the complete review

I wonder what we shall find on the net to flood all these memories back? Well, I found and excellent “unofficial” site ... Read the complete review

I have a naive little childhood. I used to watch Rainbow every Wednesday lunchtime (or was it Friday?) and for years I was convinced George was a girl since s/he was pink, and all pink things were (or at least for) girls. The fact that “George” was a male name – and this was in the days before I discovered the Famous ... Read the complete review

Imagine you are the head of Children's Television at ITV. You are happily sitting at your desk mulling over how to educate and entertain the under 5's, and some whippersnapper comes up to you with an idea: 'I know, lets teach the kids about life by creating a house, lived in by a big hairy bear, a pink hippo and a ...

Rainbow, one of my favourite childrens programmes. The programme was on when I was little (I'm 19 now!) and I used to love it. It was presented by Geoffrey - the only human presenter in the show. The other characters were Zippy (my favourite). He had a huge oval head and was bright yellow with a big zip for a ... Read the complete review
