Long-running UK kids' show, originally intended to be the British equivalent of Sesame Street, which, for the bulk of its long-running time, centred around puppets Zippy (a creature with a zipper for a mouth) and George (a camp hippopotamus), as well as a bear named Bungle and their avuncular human caretaker Geoffrey living in the Rainbow House. It started airing in 1972, and ended in 1992, followed by two spin-offs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many non-European viewers know the show for its infamous "twangers" segment which consisted of proceedingly less veiled double entendres about the sexual escapades of the cast. The episode never actually aired as part of the show and was put together at a production party as a private joke, but has since migrated its way to YouTube and other such online video sites. Zippy and George also appeared on The Weakest Link. | |

Acquired Situational Narcissism | |
| Rainbow / int_4c961994 | comment |
Acquired Situational Narcissism: This happens to Bungle in the episode "Bungle's High and Mighty Day". Bungle receives an invitation to Sooty's birthday party while Zippy and George don't, and this gets to his head. He suddenly decides that he is too 'grown-up' for sharing a room with Zippy and George, card games, sharing a bath, and even breakfast. What snaps him out of it is when he realises his haughty behaviour would result in him missing out on a bedtime story. Zippy, George and Geoffrey get an invitation later on that day. | |

Beary Friendly | |
| Rainbow / int_5394c54b | comment |
Beary Friendly: Bungle is quite a nice character. There are occasions when an episode has him pick up the Jerkass Ball, but he learns from his mistakes much better than Zippy does. | |

Aesop Amnesia | |
| Rainbow / int_c435ec5d | comment |
Aesop Amnesia: A repeated plotline throughout the series was Zippy pushing George and Bungle too far with his selfish antics, before seeing the error of his ways and making amends. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Rainbow / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Zippy eclipsed the original main puppets, Sunshine and Moony, who were ultimately phased out. The first revival omitted a human host of any kind, thus making him, George and Bungle the main stars. George has had that effect lately, with viewers cheering him on when he confronts Zippy instead of the usual reverse that occurs in most series. | |

Ambiguously Gay: George is pink and effeminate, and can get 'touchy-feely' with the other characters. | |
