I could have done so much better than the rubbish impersonator they got in. It was so disappointing. Did they not realise that us fans would realise???
this should be funny....... it is sooooooooooooooooo fucking bad. "up above the streets and houses, rainbow climbing high, bungle opens his hairy legs and farts in jeffry~s eye... do do do do RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Voices are Shocking, they shouldve brought in Roy Skelton who did the VOICES!!!!.....the guys who are on there are horrendos doin those voices...Even mine is spot on compared to that pathetic effort
Voices awful, my Zippy impression is better than that! It's obviously not the original voice artist as he voiced both Zippy and George at the same time so it was impossible for them to talk over each other which they do here, why did they not use him here when they used him for Weakest link? The George puppet is nothing like the original and far too bright!
Zippy's voice here is provided by his original puppeteer Ronnie Le Drew, who voiced him in the toyshop series and Rainbow Days. Roy Skelton is still alive and still doing voice work, guess he just wasn't available.
It could be Zippy, the guy who did the voice is probably old now and won't sound the same. As for George, that's the shittiest impression ever. This would've been funny if it was done right
adrian chiles thinks he knows shit about zippy but he doesn't know where this came from

The Zippy voice is the same as heard in the Rainbow Toyshop series in 1994.

What a bloody shambles, it should be pulled out of respect for Roy Skelton, utterly bloody deplorable. Roy would go mad if he saw this...

People complaining about the voices obviously haven't thought this through.
Zippy and George were ACTING on Rainbow. This is how they talk when they're not filming episodes.
