Rainbow

I nicked this from UKA's forum, thanks to Dylan.

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.
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, lets try it round the other way. 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,
Bungle."
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 each other's 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 play with our
twangers couldn't we? Let's play the plucking song. Rod and
Freddy can get their instruments out and Jane has got two lovely
Maracas."
Singers Rod, Freddy and Jane enter.
Freddy:" We could hear you all banging away" Rod: " Banging can
Be fun."
Jane:" Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod
and Freddy."
Freddy ( looking sad ) " Yes, but it broke my plucking
instrument."
Rod( to Jane ) " Do you want to blow on my pipe while I'm
twanging away?"
Jane: " Oh no, I was banging away with Freddy last night. But
Would you like to play with my maracas?
Zippy; " No, let's just pluck away with our twangers."
George:" Yes, it doesn't matter what size our 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 bang your balls at the same time. If you
haven't got any, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now,let's all
play the plucking song."

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

For anyone doubting this is a true episode -

Don't be bloody silly, we don't have the same degree of 'compatability' in the Republic of ABC.

I have the flash (no relation) movie of that episode of rainbow - looks genuine enough... amazing.

It's very funny but it's only genuine in so far as the cast made it as a spoof. It never went out on air. I found this quote by Geoffrey Hayes: third para or so down entitled 'rude rainbow' If you type rude rainbow into google you get loads of results many of which are worded the same as dylans post. Looks like an email is or has been doing the rounds.
