Rainbow - 'Geoffrey Learns French' (part 2)

Zippy and George hear the song 'Frere Jacques' on the radio. Zippy can't understand the lyrics to the song, but George thinks they're about a furry jacket! Geoffrey explains that it is a French song and how people in France speak a different language to in the UK. Later, when the post arrives Geoffrey receives a letter from France from his friend Michelle. Michelle is coming to England to visit the Rainbow House, so Geoffrey brushes up on his French and also teaches Bungle, Zippy and George some words in French. Then they decide to practice how they are going to welcome Michelle when she arrives, with Bungle pretending he's Michelle. Then they all sing 'Frere Jacques' together.

Such a funny episode, especially the part where Bungle pretends to be Michelle and Geoffrey has to answer the door. Thanks so much for sharing this. :)

I agree, it's one of the funniest and best of the later Rainbow episodes in my opinion. Haha even Geoffrey couldn't help laughing in the part where he had to open the door and Bungle is pretending to be Michelle! lol :D

My pleasure Lisa, glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thanks so much for uploading this episode Peter, I havent seen it for years and its a great one!

I read in an interview with Malcolm Lord (Bungle) that this episode sticks out his mind because they found it hard not to laugh when it was being filmed. Its good fun to watch between 3:00-4:30 because its so obvious they're all wanting to burst out into giggles (although Geoffrey seems to be anyway!)

You're welcome. :)

Yeah Geoffrey was finding it hard not to laugh in the part you mentioned. They always looked like they had so much fun making Rainbow though.

I can just imagine Geoffrey choosing his trousers in the morning...."hmmm, black, brown, blue...nahhh, I'll go for the pink trousers today" WTF. Pink trousers?!  Insane stuff.

I think Bungle took a shine to Michelle too. Listen to how he reacts when Geoffrey shows him the photo. How did Geoffrey meet Michelle? I hope those monkeys didn't mess it up for him. He deserves to find happiness with someone. I think Geoffrey should have gone to the station to meet her though, don't you? Its a shame us viewers didn't get to meet her too. That French radio station has a very limited playlist. Bunglese sounds a lot like Arabic to me.

Merci nostalgiamaniac (thats French).
