Brilliant post Kumagoro

IIRC this was actually done as a spoof by the team. But it still makes me crack up... And get very nostalgic.

[Kumagoro]

Is it definatley a spoof? I thought it was but I so wanted it to be a real episode haha.

They say

For those of you who don't know, "Rainbow" was a credible childrens TV show from the 70's and 80's. This clip was actually broadcast and watched by millions.

Which makes me think it was a spoof.

[Stoo]

Yeah, it was a spoof for a christmas party or something iirc

[GreenPiggy]

dammit. i so wanted that to be real. pure genius

[scottyman]

it was the worst kept secret in the BBC
Everyone puts together their own bits for the annual christmas tape - I don't know if it was deliberately shared or not.

[Rob]

Still damn funny, like the 'zippy' link at the bottom... Never seen that one before.

And Bungle is still scary. He turned up on 'Two pints of lager'... Frightening!

Haha. I remember that episode, Bungle came free with a 'rainbow-themed' bouncy castle IIRC!

So, is this real or not - actually aired?

[r1zeek]

Wow, that was scary and funny at the same time!

Nope, as mentioned it was a spoof for a television studio christmas party

[Kumagoro]
