Rainbow star Freddy Marks dies aged 71
Freddy Marks hosted Rainbow in the 80s alongside Jane Tucker and Rod Burtonwww.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
But I'm asking myself why, after all of these years, am I just finding out that there's a Rainbow fan page?

...takes me back to my childhood that show and its characters. I am uncertain as to whether we in NZ saw the iteration of Rainbow with this bloke Freddie...all I remember is Geoffrey as human host. Regardless, RIP Freddie.
Guess he won't be making another run. RIP skipper.

Sad. I loved The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Love Boat, whilst corny as a field in Iowa, was iconic Saturday night stuff way back when.
RIP Gavin

This thread often recalls to me John Donne's immortal (ironically!) words:
No man is an island entire of itself;
any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls;
...it tolls for thee.
No man is an island entire of itself;

And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls;

Great scene in an absolute classic movie.
The sign of a good film when there's a BJ involved.

Sunday evening telly at its finest in the 80's.
A mix of highway to heaven, the love boat, that's life, spitting image, Clive James on television, Whikkers world etc...
Cakes and biscuits and cups of endless tea whilst watching who the 'special guests' would be on the Pacific Princess... Heady times...
Mr Kipling Fondant Fancy in there I hope.
