Trivia
There is a episode available online where the cast members all talk in innuendo. This was created as part of a 'Christmas Tape' for ITV staff, and never intended to be broadcast on television.

Goofs
In an episode called Night Out, Zippy makes an arm gesture, which knocks over a bottle of washing up liquid and it rolls off the counter and onto the floor. This incident is ignored by all four characters and, after we cut back from Geoffery to Zippy, someone has replaced the prop, so that Zippy can then pick it up and start squeezing it.

I have to admit when i was a child i was transfixed by rainbow.

It was all good fun with naughty zippy causing all manner of grief!

However i do have just one question.

Why did Bungle wear Blue and White pyjama's to bed then walk around the house butt ass naked all day? even out into the garden as well!

whats up with that?

other than that i loved this series bring it back.

its better than the crap that they put on TV for kids nowadays! Rainbow's the DON!
