We're having an office poll at the moment - no-one has a clue what kind of animal our erstwhile zipped rainbow puppet was. Any suggestions?

Zippy reminded me of those 'Smash' instant mash robots.

Come to think of it....what the hell was 'George' supposed to be?.....Plus he was pink.

If we had a Euro for every time we've been asked "What is Zippy?" we'd have £5.60 at current exchange rates. Zippy is, according to official sources, a 'Unique'. A unique what exactly, has never been fully explained. Suggestions have ranged from a frog, a snake, a hamburger to a space alien, even an S&M accessory (not to be confused with M&S where Geoffrey got most of his trendy 1970's tank tops and sweaters).

I wasn't allowed to watch Rainbow. My dad didn't want me growing up thinking wearing dungarees was normal.
