Zippy (Rainbow)

Zippy is a fictional character on the children's television programme Rainbow. Zippy is an orange puppet with a huge rugby ball shaped oval head, big blue eyes and a zip for a mouth. His voice was first provided by Peter Hawkins, later by Roy Skelton.  Ronnie Le Drew operated the character.The character retains a cult following among those who watched the show as a child. He is probably the most famous character from the show, probably because he was the only one who really spoke his mind and would make for hours of laughter. He is one of the most famous puppets ever (even if he did only have one hand).
