EDITED: D'OH Put this in the wrong forum, can someone move it to General Gassing

Just had this sent to me by a friend... had me in stiches

Subject: FW: Actual Rainbow scripts

Actual Rainbow scripts

NO WONDER WE ARE DISTURBED

For those of you who don't have kids or are far too young to
remember the splendid children's TV programme "Rainbow", this
may be a little lost on you
... but it must have been a great episode to watch!

Almost too ridiculous to believe ... These are taken from
original Rainbow scripts and there's no way these could have
been done by Accident. Innuendo
all the way.

The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana.....

Zippy: " One skin, two skin, three skin, four "

George: " Zippy, where is Bungle?"

Zippy: " I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"

We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning
from behind it.

Bungle: " Geoffrey, I can't get it in"

Geoffrey: "You managed it last night"

Bungle: "I know, lets try it round the Otherway. Ooooooh, I've
got it in"

Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a
hammer and peg kit.

Bungle: " Would you stick this on the shelf, George"

George: " I can't reach, you'll have to stick it up yourself,
Bungle."

Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking
about
playing"

Bungle: " Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"

Geoffrey:" Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you
like to play with?"

George:" Yesterday we played with each other's
balls. Are we going to play
with our friend's balls today?

Bungle: " Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."

Geoffrey (to camera) Have you seen Bungles twanger?

Zippy:" Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with
it."

Bungle: " It's my plucking instrument."

Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle

Zippy:" I can, I'm the best plucker here."

George;" And I'm good at banging. My peg's hard
isn't it Zippy?

Zippy:" Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn't go
in if it was soft."

Geoffrey;" Let's get back to Bungle's twanger."

Bungle (excited) " Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all
play with our twangers
couldn't we? Let's play the plucking song. Rod and Freddy can
get their instruments out and Jane has got two lovely
Maracas."

Singers Rod, Freddy and Jane enter.

Freddy:" We could hear you all banging away"

Rod: " Banging can be fun."

Jane:" Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with
Rod and Freddy."

Freddy ( looking sad ) " Yes, but it broke my
plucking instrument."

Rod ( to Jane ) " Do you want to blow on my pipe
while I'm twanging away?"

Jane: " Oh no, I was banging away with Freddy last night. But
would you like to play with my maracas?

Zippy; " No, let's just pluck away with our
twangers."

George:" Yes, it doesn't matter what size our
twanger is."

Zippy;" I've got a big red one."

George: " I've only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I
like to play with it."

Geoffrey (to viewers) " Well, have you got your twangers out?

And remember, you can bang your balls at the same time. If you
haven't got any, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now,
let's all play the plucking
song."

Everyone in studio: " Pluck, pluck, pluck along,
we're going to pluck all
day."

that cant be true.

i have heard about the four skin bit before but surely all the rest is made up?

If not it would be worth having that one on video!

It wasn't done for broadcast as part of the normal rainbow programmes though, it was done for a specific blooper reel show, IIRC.

All an urban myth I'm afraid No Seaman Staines, Master Bates nor even a Roger the cabin boy

The crew were Pirate Barnabas, Pirate Willy, Master Mate and Tom the cabin boy.
