@byronmills thats another one from Doctor Who, as you'll know Roy Skelton who voiced the Daleks also provided the voice for Zippy and George, I do belive he also was the voice for Bill and Ben the flowerpot men
-
Geoffrey was a better presenter than David
-
Peter Hawkins' Zippy was posher than Roy Skelton's.
-
wierd - i kind of remember this. the moony and sunny puppets especially. i must've been 2...
-
Fact: Zippy's head was made from a rugby ball.
That would explain why he looks like he's got brain damage after having his head kicked in.
-
@bidanton He started presenting Magpie about the same time as this, but guess he didn't work on this for long.

"ICFireplace" has gone, but disagree. The latter version wasn't a lot different in format and production values, and time hasn't been kind to those either. Just different people and puppets. This Bungle is hilarious and more entertaining than the later one with the fat head. In this presenter seems slicker and less 'bungling' than poor old Jeffrey. I wouldn't call any Rainbow episode utter shite. That, I would apply to recent CBeebies (etc.) CGI stuff with their uninspired characters and voices.

I wonder how they did the closing credits... probably a bit of CSO set to all the colours.
-
hmmm zippy usually shows off about his singing he is usually the best singer...
-
There wouldn’t be chavs if this was compulsory viewing.
I think they purchased Zippy's costume from The Pound Shop.
