What do you reckon happened to the gang after Rainbow was cancelled? are they living altogether happily in a retirement home somewhere with Geoffrey and Bungle?

Zippy had a brief DJ career.
We ended up with a bill when one of our students threw beer at Zippy & he had to be dry cleaned!

He was probably one of the last major casualties of 'the curse of children's tv' since then kids telly seems to have been a step into the mainstream rather than a way to bring a career to a shattering halt

Rod, Jane and Freddy are an interesting story though

In June 2008 Rod, Jane and Freddy appeared on the show <i>50 Ways To Leave Your TV Lover</i> on Sky and talked about newspaper claims that they were involved in a love triangle. They explained that Rod and Jane had been married then divorced. Jane partnered with Freddy some time after he had joined the trio, a relationship that lead to their eventual marriage in May 2016.

One things for sure, neither Zippy or George will be doing very well on the Second Hand market.
