my first exposure to Rainbow (the show) is someone mentioning that the evil laughing at the end of Black Sabbath's "Am I Going Insane" reminded them of Zippy from Rainbow and wanted to see what this show was like, I wouldn't have discovered this show if it wasn't for me listening to Black Sabbath's "Am I Going Insane" on KZbin

Bungle is not necessarily gay. He gives that impression because he is emotionally intelligent. He would make an excellent modern family man, patient, good listener, understands where to define boundaries. Zippy is bright and energetic and shows great potential to be a successful entrepreneur in the City. George is definitely not gay, he is very macho and is so confident in his sexuality that he is able to dress in pink. The eye lashes show just how hirsute he is. My only concern is what he is doing with his arms. Geoffrey is a remarkable method actor. He really looks as if he is pretending to read the paper, a perfect caricature of a commuter on the train from Bromley.

Zippy is definitely the one who makes this show. He is such a naughty little bastard. But who wants to be a goodie all the time, anyway? If he was real, he's the sort who would grow up to be a right bastard. Probably a sexual deviant or a drug dealer. He already has the gimp mask. For decades he's been there & never changed. He's like the Austin Powers of the Chav world. Gotta love him!
