Rainbow

Sorry, this is too good not to post here. I'm sure we all remember the kids' show Rainbow on ITV? Well, they did a one off Christmas special (http://www.keenaschips.co.uk/index.php?page=articles/misc_rainbow) for the folks at ITV (it was never broadcast as far as I know) but has made its way onto the Web. Possibly not safe for work, but very funny.

I've seen this clip many times on TV - you know the sort of thing "It'll be alright on the night 85", "It shouldn't happen to a TV presenter" etc.

I doubt it went out.

Plenty of children's TV had SUBTLE references to drugs (Magic Roundabout, the Herbs etc) and sex (Capt Pugwash etc) but they were not as blatant as this Rainbow clip.

Why did Bungle walk around naked all the time but when he went to bed he wore pyjamas and when he went swimming he wore trunks?

It's just one of those bizarre mysteries - something that the innocence of childhood would never question. Speaking of which, the first rule of packaging is not to talk about packaging (http://www.seanbonner.com/blog/archives/000612.php#000612). Nice.
