JOHN LEESON

John Leeson who played Bungle in the first ever episode of Rainbow broadcast in 1972 was kind enough to share his thoughts on the programme. Click here to read the interview.

CRAIG CRANE

Craig was the talent behind the Tetra TV George as both the voice and puppeteer of our fave hippo. You can see our questions and Craig's responses here.

HUGH PORTNOW

OK, so this isn't an interview in the strictest sense. Well, it doesn't resemble an interview at all actually. Dave Curran caught up with the former member of Telltale, Hugh Portnow, who handed over the transcript of an article which was featured in the May 1997 edition of Total Guitar, and conveniently, this can now be found here.

TONY VASEY

Tony Vasey worked behind the scenes on Rainbow as a costume dresser. Click here to read our interview.

PAUL CULLINAN

Paul Cullinan was the last actor to play the Tetra TV Bungle and appeared ITV, the BBC's Generation Game and C5's Night Fever and C4's The Priory before the bear suit was stolen. Paul told us, "It was great fun playing the bear as I used to watch Rainbow as a child". Our question and answer session can be found here.
