Rainbow is a British children's television series, created by Pamela Lonsdale, which ran between five times weekly, twice weekly and once weekly at 12:10 on Tuesdays and Fridays on the ITV network, from 1 September 1972 to 31 December 1992. It was intended to develop language and number skills for pre-school children, and went on to win the Society of Film and Television Arts Award for Best Children's Programme in 1975.
The show had three producers over its lifetime - Pamela Lonsdale, Charles Warren and Joe Boyer.
The programme was originally conceived as a British equivalent of long-running American educational puppet series Sesame Street. The British series would be developed in house by Thames Television, and had no input from the Children's Television Workshop.
After more than 1000 episodes (a total of 1071 episodes with 23 seasons), the series came to an abrupt end when Thames Television lost its ITV franchise at the end of 1992. Since then, it has gained cult status and continues to get frequent mentions on radio and television.

Genres: Action, Drama, Music,Part 1 of nearly a full episode from the first series of UK kid's show Rainbow from 1972, and need it be said, with the original, maddest and best version of Bungle. Not the widely available first ever episode, but a little further into the same series, and the first venture into 'water', done a few times subsequently. Zippy has quite a few spoken lines here, with his mouth 'fixed' since the first episode. Also at times sounding like UK comedy actor Adrian Edmondson (and getting as anarchic), but it's evident Peter Hawkins's successor Roy Skelton kept elements of this voice. Music is provided by Telltale, who had about 6 members, though usually only a combination of 3 of them performed each song. Technical info : The source was uploaded on here a few years ago, but was very out-of-sync an...

The first episode of Rainbow ends with our inquisitive hairy friend, John Leeson's original, best and maddest Bungle finding out what David Cook's up to with his 2p coin. They say "Bye", David leaves Bungle with his 2p and takes the rest of his money, goes to the pub and spends around 16p for a pint. By this time we're watching the end credits while dancing (Bungle style) to the famous theme tune.
*16 downvotes - what?!* There's no accounting for taste. From the first episode, the superb song "Shapes" is performed for the second time, on this occasion by John Leeson's original wild-eyed Bungle, Zippy and Hugh Portnow- the composer of the song. Zippy has a touch of lock-jaw and Bungle's dancing is manic and to add to it he performs his verse in a style which may well have inspired Jack Nicholson's performance for The Shining. Also, Bungle's dancing here is often imitated by all my friends when we're out (after a few sherbets)

Starring John Leeson and David Cook, the complete first scene of the first episode of the kid's TV classic. There's something very hypnotic about the bear, try not too look into his eyes, especially at around 40 seconds into the video... He's become a bit of a legend amongst my friends, so paying him a tribute, by getting all the available footage together of the Original Bungle. This was the year of Ziggy Stardust and it's debatable who was the weirdest looking, and the most talented...
Original pre-Rod, Jane & Freddy house band for the classic kid's TV show Rainbow. Known as Telltale, these hairy, flarey trousered musical geniuses also wrote and performed the well-known theme as well as this superior-for-kid's-TV song called "Shapes". There were actually six members of the band, but they mainly interchanged between three of them at a time. The fella singing the third verse (round/circle) is distinctive in voice here as the singer of the theme used for the following 20 years - Tim Thomas who still sings, plays guitar, works in theatre and has recently written acclaimed musicals - so not too busy! Clips of Poirot actor Hugh Fraser can be found on clicking the "Rainbow TV Show" link below (yes, Hastings was in this band!) The link leads to a treasure trove of full episodes ...
