  • I wonder how many complaints this show got?

    Found this web-site mentioning this early kids show called "Rainbow". The Site is at
    http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/...v_episode.html , but here is the transcript of the show. I don't see how this ever got past the censors...

    For those of you who don't have kids or are far too young to remember
    the splendid children's TV programme "Rainbow", this may be a little
    lost on you...... but it must have been a great episode to watch!
    Almost too ridiculous to believe... These are taken from original
    Rainbow scripts and there's no way these could have been done by
    accident. Innuendo all the way....

    The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana...

    Zippy: "One skin, two skin, three skin, four.... "

    George: "Zippy, where is Bungle?"

    Zippy: "I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"

    We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from behind it.

    Bungle: "Geoffrey, I can't get it in"

    Geoffrey: "You managed it last night"

    Bungle: "I know, let's try it round the other way around. Ooooooh, I've got it in"

    Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer and peg kit

    Bungle: "Would you stick this on the shelf, George"

    George: "I can't reach, you'll have to stick it up yourself,

    Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking about playing"

    Bungle: "Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"

    Geoffrey: "Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you like to play with?"

    George: "Yesterday we played with our balls.

    Are we going to play with our friend's balls today?"

    Bungle: "Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."

    Geoffrey (to camera): Have you seen Bungles twanger?

    Zippy: "Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it."

    Bungle: "It's my plucking instrument."

    Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle

    Zippy: "I can, I'm the best plucker here."

    George: "And I'm good at banging. My peg's hard isn't it Zippy?"

    Zippy: "Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn't go in if it was soft."

    Geoffrey: "Let's get back to Bungle's twanger."

    Bungle (excited): "Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all paint our twangers couldn't we?"

    George: "Let's sing that plucking song."

    Bungle: "Rod and Roger can get their instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas."

    Singers Rod, Roger and Jane enter.

    Rod: "We could hear you all banging away."

    Roger: "Banging can be fun."

    Jane: "Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and Roger."

    Roger (looking sad): "Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument."

    Geoffrey: "Never mind Roger, let sing the plucking song, come on

    everybody get your instruments out."

    Rod (to Jane): "Do you want to blow on my pipe while I'm twanging away?"

    Jane: "Oh no Rod, I was blowing a lot with Roger last night. But would you

    like to play with my maracas?"

    Zippy: "No, let's just pluck away with our twangers."

    Bungle: "Yes, it doesn't matter what size your twanger is."

    Zippy: "I've got a big red one."

    George: "I've only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to play with it."

    Geoffrey (to viewers): "Well, have you got your twangers out? And remember,

    you can bounce your balls at the same time. If you haven't got any balls,

    ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let's all sing the plucking song."

    Everyone in studio: "Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we're going to pluck all day today."

    "Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we're going to pluck all day."

    Geoffrey (to viewers): " It's time for us all to go now, but don't forget to

    get your twangers out and play with your balls." "See you soon. Bye."

      I don't believe this is real.
      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        There's a video of it. It's kind of funny, but a little too contrived to be real.

        Check on ebaumsworld if you want to see it.

          It is probably not much of an exaggeration. I used to watch that show as a kid.

          Zippy had a zip across his mouth (bondage!) and George was a gay, pink hippo.

          In other news, I think that Jane (blond English Rose) was the first woman I looked at as a sex object (either her, or Agnetha from ABBA).

              This has to be the funniest thing ever. I can't remember the last time I actually laughed out loud this much alone.

                  It was really made by the actual production team of Rainbow but only for a laugh to see how far they could push the innuendo. It never aired.

                    It is real, but it never aired.

                    It was made as a joke/spoof by the cast.

                      DAMN IT!

                      From now on...if you're going to say something like that...

                      Put it in the damn spoiler tags...

                      I would've been far happier thinking that it had aired. Way to ruin the fun
