One of the most popular elements of Rainbow was a song and dance trio called Rod, Jane and Freddy and here MIM's Ashley Byrne catches up with them almost five decades on from the launch of one of the most popular kids shows ever. 

The legendary Tom Edwards, long time voice of Thames TV, makes a special appearance too - and Zippy and George grace us with their presence courtesy of puppeteer Ronnie Le Drew. To contact Ronnie you can tweet him @Punchand

A big thank you to Rod, Jane and Freddy for permission to use their music. 

This Rod, Jane and Freddy Reunion is part of a four part series looking back at kids daytime TV favourites. For a full rundown of what's coming up, listen to the promo teaser below these episodes.
