Rainbow - Paste and Wax

Geoffrey shows Bungle, Zippy and George how to do crack paste paintings. Zippy shows Bungle and George how to make secret drawings by using wax. Rod, Jane and Freddy sing "The Pasting Song". Geoffrey's girlfriend, Angharad, visits the Rainbow house for a romantic candle-lit supper.

* Although the story and Lines and Shapes animations were edited out by me when I originally recorded this from the TV to save video tape, the episode is otherwise complete.

Its a shame they didn't make a spin off series based on this episode. I would love to have seen a romantic comedy in a later time slot based on Geoffrey and Angharad's relationship.

B,G & Z must have had a very early (or very very late) night, as you can see Angharad's watch when Geoffrey holds up the heart picture and it is only about half past 4.

Yeah that would have been a cool idea to have a spin off!! Well spotted about the time on Angharad's watch!

Rod, Jane and Freddy's song is fab and it's really sweet that Geoffrey has a girlfriend Angharad. I love the part where Geoffrey and Angharad find out what Zippy's secret message is.

Wonderful episode thanks for sharing it Peter :)

You're very welcome Lisa, I'm so happy that you enjoyed the episode so much.

Was Angharad ever seen or mentioned again?

[nostalgiamaniac]

No I don't remember her ever appearing or being mentioned again.

[RelativeBadger]

Angharad wasn't mentioned again. She never appeared in another episode either, as Geoffrey had a complete blow-out and hacked her up.

[jeffrey44]

Actually, its the episodes of Rainbow that are funny. Not me.

Angharad Rees - from 'Hands of the Ripper' to 'Hands of the Zipper'!

There's a bit missing from this clip where Geoffrey narrates how candles are made, to the music of Ryan Paris' 'Dolce Vita'. In fact you can just about hear the track fading out at 2:45.

Jeffrey44, your comments crack me up!

[mrslmathers]

LOL at Geoff packing the puppets off to bed early so he can get it on with Angharad!!

[barttheanorak]

I saw it twice in the eighties. I remember Angharad and the table but I'd forgotten the song.

I liked this and the other episode where Geoffrey and the puppets were remembering his old girlfriends - it was nice to see the 'Geoffrey' character having a life.

[jeffrey44]

I just noticed that Geoffrey goes to the shops to get more candles and leaves Bungle, George and Zippy home alone. Is this the only time he has done this? I'm sure they have always had a babysitter in the past even if it was Uncle Bill Grumpy.

Although I am pleased that Geoffrey is happy with Angharad, he shouldn't forget the fact that he is responsible for three young and/or mentally ill animals.

I guess it didn't work out between her and Geoffrey then.

Maybe she didn't want to get involved with a man with so many responsibilities.
