Everybody remembers Rainbow, right?
> Not the rock band. I'm talking about the kids program during the
> 1980's.
> Bellow is what appears to be a genuine script from one episode.
> I thinnk this explaines why 80's children are now all deranged adults!
> 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. 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, Jane and Freddy 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.
>
> Fortunately they did film it...

I never watched RR because it was really, really slow paced.

I think that may be why I didn't watch it either.

One of my fave SS episodes: Dancing Spanish Grover as a waiter.
