    I think this was staged or something... I remember seeing it awhile ago. Still funny, though.

    It is staged, it's a pilot to a show that never aired... I wonder why.

    <i>Rainbow</i> was a highly popular childrens' show, Liku. You know not what you are talking about.

    Whether this was a staged second pilot or the actual real pilot I od not know, but I'd always assumed it was genuine (but deliberately tongue-in-cheek).

    Zippy is very unsettling, even when he isn't talking about balls or skins. How did you brits every put up with that?!?

    I'd say the cast of the show was just having a bit of fun after a long, gruelling day filming a childrens television show.

    I think i wasn't alive when that show was about. Or i was and i've repressed memories of zippy because he's, quite frankly, scary and disturbing.

    Zippy is a hero, man. I remember Rainbow from back in the day, but it was never this raunchy. Or was it?

    It probably was, but it was done so well that it could have been real.

    Yes it was on purpose. I'm pretty sure this was them just geeking off at Christmas or after work or such. It's all so blatantly obvious. I love rainbow, i grew up with it, and i'm a well adjusted member of society!

    If you want pure smut, watch Button Moon. I used to watch it as a kid, and recently watched it at a friend's house for some nostalgia, and it is pure, non-stop smut. "Shall i turn you on, mr spoon?!"

    Wow, whatever happened to normal kids shows, like Sesame Street?

    The worst that show had was the 2 homosexual puppets.

    pee-wee's playhouse rocked, I nearly committed 5 year old suicide when they took it off the air <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> it was awesome - he was a comedian who did very adult themed comedy, and based on one of his acts which was a parody of a kids' show, they gave him a real kids' show, and he did a hilarious job with it =p but then he got caught attending a porno movie and the rest is history <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That was class !

    Some little known facts about Rainbow:

    1. Zippy and George were voiced by the same bloke - voicing both characters at the same time.
    2. Geoffrey is now a taxi driver.
    3. Rod, Jane and Freddy went on to become pron stars.

    [one of the above statements is not true].

    Anyway, Rainbow is a British tradition, a mainstay of many a Britisher's upbringing, so grubby mitts <i>off</i>.
