What was Zippy supposed to be?

zippy was a puppet..... easy answer

Lots of them around these parts!

Can't help with the Rainbow Characters. I got banned from watching it after I broke the third screen with a brick as soon as it came on.

It must rank as the most pathetic programme ever, it would insult the intelligence of a two week old baby let alone a child who was older.
It even made Play School look intellectual by comparison.

As for Geffwy, heaven help Sainsburys if that's true. If he had any sense about him at all he could have made a fortune as a cure for insomnia.
Watching to see if the little girl on the test card blinked was more exciting.
I never did manage to stare her out either, she always won.

Am sure zippy is what happens to you if you eat to many kinder happy hippos and then you see big blue hippos to .

At least you could zip him up if he got too painful.
