Rod Jane and Matt actually, Matt being Matthew Corbett of Sooty fame. I have an LP ( 12 inches of plastic with grooves in it for those young uns who don't know :biggrin: ) of the songs from Rainbow. Has all the characters on there too.

Chorlton and the wheelies used to be on after when i was a lad.

bopnus point for anybody who can tell me the dogs name from Jamie- No Googling though .

A sad day. Zippy was always my favourite.

Many years ago, one of my work colleagues wondered why people started calling him Geoffrey. He soon discovered it was because people thought his new girlfriend looked like Bungle!
