The Rainbow gang is being very creative indeed and putting together their own version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. Jane plays Jack and Bungle the Giant. Zippy is Jack's mother (Mrs Beanstalk). Rod is the evil wizard who sells Jack the beans and Geoffrey and Freddy for some reason are a clown double act called 'Tea and Cocoa'.
