There is something fantastically nostalgia inducing about singing along to the words of "Up above the streets and houses rainbow climbing high…" until my five year old asks how I know the words to his new review dvd and asks accusingly "did you watch it before me?!"Rainbow – Naughty Zippy is back with five episodes full of mischief and fun from the Rainbow team, familiar to most parents who grew up with a TV during the 70s and 80s. Rainbow ran for years complete with songs, nursery rhymes, comedy and stories.
The main cast of Rainbow are and were Geoffrey the presenter and narrator, George the bashful pink hippo who giggles lots, Bungle the adult sized bear and Zippy with his zip for a mouth who is the naughtiest and loudest of the gang.
Toby, aged five, thought Zippy was hysterical and enjoyed his naughtiness immensely. To adult eyes Rainbow is fantastically old fashioned, from the 70s graphics to Geoffrey's rainbow bright outfits but it has stood the test of time well and appealed to Toby as a first time viewer.
Rainbow - Naughty Zippy makes for perfect retro viewing for parents and children alike.
The DVD has five episodes:
1. Naughty Zippy
2. I'm the King of the Castle
3. Snow
4. Treasure Hunt
5. The Zippybread Man
