Rainbow Unzipped
Rainbow Unzipped: The Shocking Truth about Zippy, George and Bungle - In Their Own Words | Tim Randall
2 posts
The official and uncensored story of the stars of Rainbow, as told to Tim Randall by Zippy, George and Bungle. For over twenty years Zippy, George and Bungle were the biggest stars on children's television, inspiring a whole generation of adoring fans. But behind the smiles and the brightly coloured fur, all was not what it seemed in the Rainbow house. Having spent the last seventeen years refusing approaches from publishers to tell their story, the squabbling stars have agreed - thanks to some serious financial inducements and a clause insisting they don't have to spend more than three hours in the same room together - to talk to journalist Tim Randall about the highs and lows and the heartbreaks they have endured. From their humble beginnings to international stardom, via the wilderness years, this is Zippy, George and Bungle's fascinating autobiography. Here, for the very first time, is the inside story of what really happened at the beginning, middle and end of their Rainbow.

I‘m going to attempt @JoScho ‘s #marvelousmay - something you‘re thankful for every day.

Starting with a very small-but-big thing. Last night‘s crazy-bright rainbow, which decided to show itself immediately before the weekly Clap for Carers was pretty special.

I‘m grateful for the carers that are keeping caring, in ridiculous circumstances, and for nature snapping us away from the screens/news/stress and giving us something to wonder at.

JoScho I love this so much. Rainbows also seem like a sign of hope. Thanks for sharing ❤️ 5y

Yes, I am a) old enough and b)childish enough for this to be what popped into my head when I saw #ChasingRainbows as today‘s #AyUpAugust prompt! 🎶 up above the trees and house, rainbow flying high.... 🎶

squirrelbrain I used to love Bungle! Didn‘t like Zippy - far too confident and extrovert for me! 🤣 5y
TheEllieMo @squirrelbrain the best bits were always when someone zipped Zippy‘s mouth closed🤣🤣🤣 5y
