If I had to choose a favourite kids show from my childhood, this one would definitely be number 1. Rainbow was my most favourite children's show that I can remember. It always opened with wonderful music and song. Then we would go into the Rainbow house where we would say hello to one of the four house friends. Geoffrey Hayes as Presenter was perfect. He was nice, he was clever, he was friendly, and he was always there to help with the puppets problems. The three puppets also made Rainbow a big favourite. There was the big cuddly brown bear, Bungle. The pink eye-lashed probably gay hippo, George. But my favourite was the sometimes loud, mischievous yellow puppet, Zippy (with a zip for mouth). Throughout the show they told stories, sang wonderful songs and sometimes had a good guest, e.g. Bobby Davro. The singers that I most enjoyed besides the main stars were the regular guests Rod Burton, Jane Tucker and Freddy Marks (or Rod, Jane and Freddy), they were so brilliant I even saw them on stage. I would definitely recommend this to you and your kids, this is just an excellent family show. It was number 7 on The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows. Outstanding!
