Cult kids TV show Rainbow is to make a return to the small screen, according to The Sun today.

Zippy, George and Bungle will apparently star in a sitcom aimed at adults. The show's human star, Geoffrey Hayes, has also been asked to appear.

Hayes told The Sun, "This time they want to aim it at the generations who grew up on Rainbow. The scripts are very funny. It's all about finding out where the characters are now, all these years later. It's all tongue-in-cheek, of course."

The original show was axed in 1992.
