Children's TV show gone horrible wrong
TV program "Rainbow" from the 70's and 80's...I cant even believe this is real.

Technically, this is a double post, but the original just shows a blank page.

And I used to watch that show when I was a kid, too. It went for years. Incidentally, Roy Skelton, the voice/puppeteer of the two weird things, was also the voice of the Daleks in Doctor Who throughout its original run, over a couple of decades, from memory. If you listen to Zippy, sometimes you can catch a hint of the famous Dalek intonation.

an echo of flashboy's comment ... watching the rainbow clip i thought that there was no way this was actually broadcast (i remember the show from the 1970s when i was a kid) ... too obvious and too short (the actual programme format was longer) ... it struck me as something that had cropped up on 'TV naughtiest blunder' style shows in the last few years, something the cast and crew did for a laugh ... rainbow did achieve something akin to cult status later in life though when it was discovered as 'comedown tv' for the chemical generation in the uk

That was plucking brilliant.
