About this season
Join Rod, Jane and Freddy from 'Rainbow' as they set off on their own adventures. Sometimes they may be putting on a mini variety show at a theatre, other times they may leap through the pages of a story book trying to get Mary Mary home. It's always musical and mostly educational.
