Rainbow In this episode Zippy knocks Bungles Tower Over! Rainbow has gained cult status here in the UK. This kid's TV show ran twice weekly at 12:10 on Tuesdays and Fridays on ITV from 16th October 1972 until 6th March 1992. The series ended pretty abruptly when, after more than 1000 episodes, Thames Television lost its ITV franchise.
Kids TV Shows from the 70s and 80s Here Come The Double Deckers Blimey! I Remember watching Here Come The The Double Deckers on a saturday morning back in the 70's! This video clip made me feel like a kid again! The characters were Spring (He was black, but I'm not sure why he was called Spring), Billie (The cowgirl), Brains (he wore specs), Doughnut (he was fat), Sticks (he played the drums), Tiger (she had a cuddly tiger who was also called, erm, tiger!) and Scooper - no idea why he was called Scooper? I'm not sure whether calling someone Doughnut would be allowed today! Playschool "What's the day?", "Ready To Play!" Brian Cant, Derek Griffiths, Carol Schell, what legends they were! I was pretty busy trying to update this website, and then found myself watching Carol Schell wobbling her jelly on Playschool! You just never know what you're going to come across when you're a website designer! There are two videoclips to enjoy. The first one is the intro sequence featuring that orange house that seems to have stuck in my brain for 35 years. The second clip features Carol Schell wobbling some jelly, Derek Griffiths pretending to be a jelly, and Julie Stevens inviting us to go through the round window. Hmm, I preferred the square window myself! Play Away Play Away was a sort of longer version of Playschool, but I didn't enjoy it half as much as Playschool! The video clip features the legendary Brian Can't, Tony Arthur, Jeremy Irons, Anne-Marie Hackett and Julie Stevens. Tony Robinson was also in this episode, although, unfortunately, he's not on this clip!
