Of course Waelan Smithers is gay, also do any of you remember all of the innuendo in Captain Pugwash, such as seamen Stains and the like. Cringe, sure we hadn't a clue, we were alot more innocent back then. Nothing registered with us, and Gay meant happy. And the following is the Rainbow Script with all the innuendo, it's a great read, take it from your point of view now, and then a six year old's point of view, also the Teletubby with the handbag is Gay, Tinky Winky me thinks:
Innuendo all the way....

The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana...
Zippy: " One skin, two skin, three skin, four "
George: " Zippy, where is Bungle?"
Zippy: " I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"
We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from Behind it.
Bungle: " Geoffrey, I can't get it in"
Geoffrey: "You managed it last night"
Bungle: "I know, let's try it round the other way. Ooooooh, I've got it
in"
Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer
and peg kit
Bungle: " Would you stick this on the shelf, George"
George: " I can't reach, you'll have to stick it up yourself,
Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking about
playing"
Bungle: " Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"
Geoffrey:" Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you like to
play with?"
George:" Yesterday we played with each other's balls.
Are we going to play with our friend's balls today?
Bungle: " Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."
Geoffrey (to camera) Have you seen Bungles twanger?
Zippy:" Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it."
Bungle: " It's my plucking instrument."
Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle
Zippy:" I can, I'm the best plucker here."
George;" And I'm good at banging. My peg's hard isn't it Zippy?
Zippy:" Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn't go in if it was soft."
Geoffrey;" Let's get back to Bungle's twanger."
Bungle (excited) " Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all play with our twangers
couldn't we? Let's play the plucking song. Rod and Roger can get their
instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas."
Singers Rod, Freddy and Jane enter.
Freddy:" We could hear you all banging away"
Rod: "Banging can be fun."
Jane:" Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and
Freddy."
Freddy (looking sad) " Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument."
Rod (to Jane) " Do you want to blow on my pipe while I'm twanging away?"
Jane: " Oh no, I was banging away with Freddy last night. But would you
Like to play with my maracas?
Zippy; " No, let's just pluck away with our twangers."
George:"Yes, it doesn't matter what size our twanger is."
Zippy;" I've got a big red one."
George: " I've only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to
play with it."
Geoffrey (to viewers) " Well, have you got your twangers out? And
remember, you can bang your balls at the same time. If you haven't got
any, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let's all play the
plucking song."
Everyone in studio: " Pluck, pluck, pluck along, we're going to pluck
all day."

No. I don't remember that because it never happened... it's just an urban myth.

Pink Panther and Popeye too

Popeye the Sailor Man, the animated embodiment of testosterone, lived in terror of being outed, as it would have ended his lucrative career. "Bluto threatened me with that a couple of times," he confesses. "I always wondered about him, though. He was so hypermasculine, always swaggering around like he had something to prove." He sighs and leans back against the antique sofa. "Maybe I'm just projecting, though. I did a fair amount of macho posturing myself."

George Michael in Queen? I mustn't have been paying close enough attention in the 80's.

I don't know about him being Jewish.. but he is Greek.. and they are historically big fans of homosexuality.

Laplandman

Yes they invented it.:D

The Spartans were big fans of it. Their reasoning: On the battlefield if the man who you loved was killed then you would be driven to a fury and therefore fight harder. Crazy Spartans!!

I refuse to believe Optimus Prime was gay!
Starscream however.....

Did that really happen or is it dubbed?:eek:

r3nu4l

I don't know the origin of the clip but I know it was never aired for kids. I don't think it is dubbed.

Someone told me that they did it when they were told the show was going to be axed but that's probably not true like many urban myths that grow from these things.

If anyone out there knows the real story I'd love to know it too

Back to the topic in hand (so to speak) What about Sooty and Sweep from Sooty, sweep and Sue? Sweep was definitely gay but I think Sooty wanted Sue!

Pigman II

IIRC the rainbow clip IS real and not dubbed. The explaination for whats going on it it is that it was a specially produced clip intended to be screened only at the shows Xmas party in order to entertain the shows cast/crew. It was not an extract from any actual episode of Rainbow nor was ever meant to enter the public domain.

No, because it was all a big debunked urban myth.

The Rainbow script you mention was a special episode produced by the cast for the TV station Christmas party and never meant for broadcast.

Bosco on the other hand.....male, female, or gender-transient?

Depends - was it a female or male hand that was inserted ...

Surely that's a question of Bosco's sexuality rather than gender!

"Back in the early days, before the days of VHS and now recordable DVDs etc the VT depts of both the BBC and ITV would make elaborate out-take, p*ss-take shows for sending out to their staff. The practice was stopped by the various TV managements once copies got out on Betamax and VHS around the early eighties for legal / taste reasons etc.

THE 'Twangers' clip was actually written by Roy Skelton, who not only voiced Zippy AND George, but was also a Dalek in many old Doctor Who stories.

It's a real tape with the real performers, but it was filmed as a joke and never intended for public consumption. There was a great tradition at the BBC and ITV companies of the videotape editing departments compiling tapes for their christmas parties - including clips with shows shot especially for the internal tape.

It was recorded in 1979, when the show had been running for several years.
It was never intended to be shown on TV. In fact, the sketch was performed simply for the amusement of the cast and crew, and would have been lost to history, were it not for the
OBA 1 Christmas tape put together by Thames TV engineers."

Found on a website about that rainbow clip, very funny though!
