I can't believe he's gone, George.

Bungled operation apparently

Very sad, RIP Geoffrey, you had me glued to the TV at lunchtimes as a kid.

Ditto, this was my childhood right here. The theme tunes of Rainbow and Button Moon are firmly implanted. Still, shall remember the good times and the Twangers video will live on forever.

Long live the twangers reel, it still properly cracks me up. Loved Rainbow as a kid. Saw Zippy and George doing the university comedy circuit many years later - was also pretty rude!

Now I'm going to have that bloody theme tune in my head for weeks!

There's a thread for you here Earworms...

 

It has at least replaced " I am Blue" which was on our local radio station on Saturday.

AAAAAArrrrggghhhhh!!!!

I'm blue somehow became a little more tolerable when someone remade it, I think for a drum & bass version. When you start hearing "I died in aberdeen" instead of Dabadeabedoo or whatever it is, it seems to make more sense!
