Bungle is a creepy big meff whilst George sounds like he is on 40 a day here.

Zippy and Bungle both start to wonder whether getting that Civil Partnership was such a good idea after all- and Zippy frets that George is getting just a little too fond of Bungle.

Now that is funny Bungle George and Zippy have already started in arguing in that episode and Georges voice is deeper and it is really funny when Bungle starts arguing with Zippy and then Zippy says I never argue and then Bungle says your arguing now and then Zippy says no I am not and Bungle says yes you are and then David says you both are this is a ledgend episode from cars from way back in 1973 have you bye the chance got the whole episode recorded off this then from the TV at all then

We love you George, man

this must be one of the first episodes which had George in it - he replaced the two glove puppets Sunshine and Mooney (both rather boring in their 'humourous' skits). It also is near the end of David Cook's tenure. This yellow wallpaper is on the Rainbow album that came out in the same year.

WTF? George sounds like a smackhead!

[jeffrey44]

Wow. What a great video. I had never seen the 'old' George before. What is wrong with him in this episode? Apart from the obvious HRT overdose of course.

Where did you get this clip from?
