Zippy (Rainbow)

Zippy (Rainbow)

Zippy was a fictional character on the British children's television programme Rainbow. Zippy is a brownish-orange puppet with a huge rugby ball shaped oval head, big blue eyes and a zip for a mouth, hence the name. The perennial question concerning Zippy is what kind of creature he represents: While Bungle is obviously a bear and George a hippo, Zippy bears no obvious resemblance to any real animal. Some have even speculated that Zippy may have been an extra terrestrial life form, possibly from the moon. His voice was first provided by Peter Hawkins, later by Roy Skelton. Ronnie Le Drew operated the character.
