Episodes:

Ep. 1: Twangers (1979-12-23)

An innuendo filled joke episode made for the ITV christmas tape. Bungle and Goeffry tell us how to play with our special friends and bounce our balls, meanwhile Jane's tired because she's been up all night banging with Rod and plucking Rogers instrument. George has only got a small twanger, but it doesn't matter as it can be just good as a big one against Jane's maracas.
Ep. 2: Christmas Pantomime Special (1987-12-25)

This is the Rainbow Christmas Special episode from 1987 in which the gang put on a pantomime. The Bad Baron Bungle and his wicked schemes make life difficult for Dame Geoffrey, Georgie Porgie (George), Tommy Tucker (Zippy) and Jack (Jane). But everything works out fine in the end and Baron Bungle gets his comeuppance. Then Santa Claus drops by to join everyone in singing "Happy Christmas Everybody".
