Over the course of almost half a century, puppeteer Ronnie Le Drew
has worked with the greats - from David Bowie in Labyrinth to
Michael Caine in The Muppet Christmas Carol. But the role that
defined his career was Rainbow's Zippy, who he operated for more
than twenty years. Zippy and Me is the first time a Rainbow insider
has told the true story of what went on under the counter and
inside the suits: the petty squabbles between performers, wrangling
with TV executives, and scandals such as the 'love triangle'
between musicians Rod, Jane and Freddy. Not to mention the now
infamous X-rated episode shot for an ITV Christmas party, which
subsequently found its way to the Sun. Interweaved with the dirt on
what really went on behind the scenes is the story of Rainbow's
heyday in the 1970s and 80s, when its stars found themselves
catapulted into an exciting showbiz world - scooping a BAFTA award
and even performing for the queen - and the story of a young lad
from a south London council estate who defied his parents' protests
to became one of the most respected puppeteers of all time.
