I miss Geoffrey so much.
Yes great man
U r stunning
Yes hun loved rainbow 🌈
He is a really genuine and humble guy, and true gentlemen. He will always be a childhood legend in my eyes.
Sorry to hear that you have passed Geoffrey. Thank you for all those wonderful childhood memories.
RIP MATE and thanks for happy times.
Aww RIP Geoffrey. Rainbow was my childhood...the USA had Sesame street and UK had Rainbow 🌈
Mine too
I remember Geoffrey on Rainbow and I'm sorry to hear that he's sadly no longer with us.
Yeah - loved Rainbow - then my girls grew up on it too. Sad when it ended.
I met him by chance a couple of years ago and he was an absolute gentleman.
Rest In Peace G, U made my '70s tv time unmissable. Paint the whole world with a RAINBOW..! X
Such a nice humble guy.
So sad as to how unwell he looked there. 4 years ago.
RIP Geoffrey Hayes
Rainbow was a huge part of my childhood. Geoffrey Hayes was brilliant - he was that trustworthy father-figure who lived with a hippo, a bear and a talking tangerine. It was great. (Sigh) TV for kids now is a crock of shit I'm sad to say.
Made weeks days after school bearable
Hearing his true accent is a laugh - God knows how he suppressed it so well for Rainbow.
RIP Geoffrey
RIP Geoffrey, Rainbow was a huge part of my upbringing. The acting (and accent) in Z Cars was very good in my view!
Hope he reads these nice comments
Another part of my childhood gone rip Geoffrey Hayes thanks for being part of my childhood such happy memories watch you zippy bungle and George my thoughts to your family
sean halliday Yes, my thoughts exactly. RIP.
Legend.Made my childhood that much better
A true gentleman - hat off to you sir for all your years in rainbow 🌈
RIP Geoffrey who passed away today. A special person in the lives of both Z Cars and Rainbow fans.
RIP Geoffery. Part of many's childhood from the 80s.
a massive part of my childhood. legend.
I loved rainbow.. ..jeffrey was great...its a shame he aint on tv nowadays...
what a kind man he was.. massive part of my childhood.. very sad to hear of his passing..
Rest in peace Geoffrey. A bit of all our childhood is lost with your passing, but you will be missed.
Geoffrey, You were the best!,
Back in 1983 when I was 6 years old, I used to love watching Rainbow and learning new things, You, Bungle and George were always so sensible whilst Zippy was naughty, rude and funny!
Like the other comment said You were a great childhood legend and made many, many children smile and happy (including me) who always watched your TV children's show "Rainbow"
Although Rainbow started back in September 1972, No one could present it like you did and I think that you did a truly fantastic job presenting Rainbow from sometime in 1973 to the end of 1991 when Rainbow was recorded for the very last time (sadly)
Now a grown up man of 39 years old! (in 2016), Watching many episodes of Rainbow put a huge smile on my face! and brought back many happy memories from my childhood days of the early 1980's :-)
God bless you and your family Geoffrey - You're the best and will never be forgotten.
As another child of '77 here, well said! They were great times and rewatching things like Rainbow and others (button moon!) keeps my spirits up!
RIP Geoffrey, gone but never forgotten 🌈
@@skylined5534 Thanks John, Timeless memories of Geoffrey, George, Bungle and Zippy that I'll never forget ! Us 1970's babies were so lucky to be born when we were as we got to see Rainbow and also Sesame Street at their prime !
Rest In Peace Geoffrey - You were the best part of my childhood 👍👍👍
Wonderful Geoffrey. God bless him!
It's odd to see him as a copper and speaking in his normal Stockport accent. I for one am so glad he gave it all up to do Rainbow. My childhood was brilliant with that TV show. Thanks Geoffrey. Sleep well now. Will miss you xxxx
One of the best presenters for children's TV ever. R.I.P.
He seems like a nice bloke. I loved rainbow as a kid
What a lovely man... RIP
What a rarely humble man - a large part of my childhood has again been lost but thankfully we can see some episodes on CZcams. He seemed like a very genuine and down-to-earth man. Rest in Peace old friend xx
RIP Geoffrey. Thank you for the memories.
You are definately a legend in your own right. I am 51 and grew up with rainbow.
RIP Geoffrey and thank you for all of the memories. ❤
God bless you Geoffrey.
RIP my friend.
And thank you for making my childhood learning wonderful.
I will meet you one day at the end of that rainbow.
Quite differeant to see him now when I was used to seeing him as a young man when I watched Zippy and the Rainbow when I was a tiny boy, now it's me that's a young man now
Geoffrey was 29 years old when he started presenting Rainbow. He is a legend of my childhood. May he RIP
RIP Geoffrey, shame he never found work after Rainbow.
my childhood legend
Geoffrey
I'd love to meet him
hope your well.
Yeah me too
RIO BOW 😢

R.I.P Geoffrey
Thanks for bringing the childhood of the kids generation also thanks for bringing the comedy and the puppeteers of rainbow, you will be missed truly.
Rip Geoffrey
A childhood hero of mine. A huge part of mine and many of my friends lives.
I love rainbow! !
Still do and still watch it most days on youtube , even most nights when I gave a beer !!!
Bloody love it in fact . He and zippy shaped me to who I am today , helped me grow up , helped my attitude and my sense of humor. 🤗👍👍👍💛
Rest in peace.. :(
Happy 73rd birthday Geoffrey!
RIP Geoffrey Hayes 😢😢
RIP
RIP x
I like Geoffrey .
I watched Rainbow in about 1978/79 when I was a kid in New Zealand. He seemed like a great guy
I know everybody ages, but whilst doing Rainbow Geoffrey always looked and sounded like someone who would stay physically top-notch into his late age, but I am always saddened when I see and hear him these days... He seems to really struggle to talk, like he either had a stroke or throat cancer...or both. I would have hoped he'd sound exactly the same, like the way Murray Walker, Nicholas Parsons, and others, have done until very lately. I know he had a tough time after Rainbow workwise, but that doesn't seem to be enough to account for this. It makes me so sad. Tony Hart was similar... Of robust build, shall we say, certainly seemed to have a good stock of energy reserves, like he could easily manage a game of rugger if he ever fancied trying it. But yet later in life it's like a switch was flicked.
so sad " he was part of my children,s lives and mine " i loved it just as much as they did " especially naughty zippy!..i feel like bawling my eyes out" can,t believe how quickly life has gone by...goodbye Geoffrey" RIP.. you will be sadly missed " gone but not forgotten..
I think its a rather wonderful Epitaph - but not so surprising - that Geoffrey is such a decent and nice fella in real life. To see and hear him speak, really highlights for me why he was such a success presenting Rainbow, definitely one of the good guys. RIP Geoffrey.
Such a sweetheart xx
RIP Geoffery
Thanks for lighting up my shitty childhood. Geoff RIP
Good on ya' Geoffrey;)
Rip
nice one...classic
RIP Geoffrey. You entertained me through much of my childhood. A true gent.
the face you never forget as a child from the 70s
Zippy George and bungle will miss him dearly
I hope to meet him in person one day
Yes me too, your mind is also my mind.
Did any of you ever get your wish?
This man inadvertently taught me patience, I have been tolerating Zippys and Bungles for years but Geoff would have sorted it by reading a story about Tat the cat. I hope he knew how much he meant to us little kids.
A great actor too! Should've been given more work after Rainbow got axed.
R.I.P. you legend
Old episodes of Z-Cars can have some surprising and indeed shocking moments. But nothing prepared me for the sight of Geoffrey Hayes propping himself up on a Ford Cortina outside a shabby pub. And smoking. Geoffrey from Rainbow - SMOKING. I'm 47 and felt my entire childhood had been a lie.
I never knew he was from Stockport. R.I.P Geoffrey x
Good old Geoff.
God bless
A national institution and a nice guy too. RIP Geoffrey Hayes
Rip mate
TOO GEOFFREY
Cirrhosis of the liver? I heard he worked at a supermarket
Something of a non-sequitur
@@Spectrescup Yes, that's right. Booze addiction, with a less less successful life couldn't be relevant. A crappier job, after many years in TV, can't in any way relate to Rainbow actor, Geoffrey Hayes', older middle age life. Check your own ruddy non sequiturs.
A tv daddy to a generation of kids. Bye bye Geoffrey xx
1:44 Damn, those are some hairy arms!
RIP Geoffrey
RIP, Geoffrey.
R.I.P
Geoffrey
RIP Geoffrey
