Does your male dog “have” to be kept on lead because of his hormone driven behaviours which restricts his general quality of life? TV Offal also broadcast some very risqué material featuring Hayes, Zippy and George as guests on a variety programme hosted by comedian Jim Davidson in the 1980s; the sketch in question featured former children's TV presenter Tommy Boyd asking a question about Adam and Eve. Boyd and Davidson used some profanities in the sketch, along with some innuendo from George (presumably again not intended for broadcast like the above), and Zippy exclaimed to Geoffrey an expletive phrase quite out of character from his children's television persona. (Incidentally, the said footage appeared uncut on Thames Television's 1984 Christmas tape.) How secure a garden do you need? Is your dog happy to just plod around the garden or would he easily jump a 4ft fence given the chance? It can be used as an indoor toy but I use it exclusively as an interactive toy out on walks. Dogs that are distracted on walks need something to break through to grab their attention.
Zippo – Zippy's cousin, identical in appearance to Zippy but slightly brighter in colour, who would make the occasional guest appearance throughout the 80s and 90s seasons. Originally portrayed as an eloquent Frenchman, but a later episode depicted him as an American-accented rapper with loud, flashy clothing. Operated by Valerie Heberden, and voiced by Roy Skelton. Pet loss is a difficult process to go through. Humans live longer than our pets, so facing the loss of an animal friend that has taken hold of your heart and found a place in your home and family can be devastating. When your dog is dying, it will show a progressive decline in all of its bodily functions both physically and mentally. As this occurs, your dog will eventually begin to lose control and start to have accidents. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. If this occurs, you can comfort your dog, by breaking down meals to smaller digestible pureed bites throughout the day and by giving water with an eyedropper. Keeping your pets mouth moist may keep it more comfortable, and you can also hold and talk to your dog at the same time.
Your dog may show signs of being cold, like shaking or twitching involuntarily. Your dog’s body temperature may have begun to drop, and is a sign that his body could be shutting down.
Your dog may have a complete loss of appetite. As your dog shows signs of dying, its digestive system will begin shutting down. It will become more difficult for your dog to keep anything in its stomach. Eventually your dog will lose interest in all food and water, and will no longer be able to keep much down. Dawn – the next-door neighbour, played by Dawn Bowden, who was introduced in the show's later years, first appearing in 1990. Dawn would often visit the Rainbow House to help out with everyday chores and socialize with the characters, as well as performing songs with the rest of the cast on her Casio keyboard. It’s painful to lose a friend, but the most important thing is how you face the end together. Being there for your best friend in love and support to bring peace is important, as your dog can sense your emotions and fears. If you are prepared and know what to look for, it can help when the time comes, and you can be more of a comfort to your pet. Small World (1), Caterpillars and Butterflies, Looking After Baby, Small World (2), Going Out to the Circus, Going to a Toy Museum, Journey on a Narrow Boat, A Visit to a Safari ParkThe Birthday Cake, I Want to be a Popstar, George's Secret Place, The Explorers, Without a Voice, Outer Space The theme song for the show was actually a small part of the full version, also called "Rainbow" and written by Hugh Portnow, Lady Hornsbrie, Hugh Fraser and Tim Thomas of the band Telltale, who regularly appeared in the first two seasons of the show. It was released as a single on an offshoot of the Music for Pleasure label called Surprise, Surprise in 1973 with the B-side "Windy Day". Although Telltale left the show in 1974, their recording of the theme tune continued to be used until the end of the original show's run in 1992. Generally speaking, George and Zippy represented two 'types' of a child, George being the quiet and shy type, while Zippy represented the hyperactive and destructive type. Zippy often demonstrated a cynicism and wit that went beyond the "4th wall" and appealed to older viewers. George was usually vindicated, and Zippy got his comeuppance. While they were apparently young 'children' (aged around 6), Bungle was an older 'child' (aged around 8), and differed from them in being a costume rather than a hand puppet. Geoffrey's relationship to them was unclear, other than being a kind of mentor/teacher/carer.
