I do have the complete 1985 Christmas tape. Someone else has already uploaded it to YouTube. Do a search for "Thames Television Christmas Tape 1985" and you should find it. The only other Rainbow related bit is a short clip of Rod, Jane and Freddy in a computer game. Am I right to assume this nudist camp sequence was longer?
More importantly, what magical items do you have in your collection ready to be uploaded to YouTube? I read that your head appeared next to George at the end of your first episode. Do you remember which episode it was? Was there such a thing as a Rainbow outtake or was it all left in the programme?
No. The people you see in the clip are animatronic and cost over £100,000 to make, which was a lot of money in the mid 1980s. £12,000 alone was spent on creating a realistic model of Freddy's hair.
George's yellow hand was edited frame by frame in Photoshop running on a BBC Model B computer. Originally, they wanted to change the colour of both arms, but the first one took over 3 years to complete, so the idea was abandoned.
Still, I'm sure you will agree, money and time well spent.
