Rod, Jane and Freddy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rod Burton, Jane Tucker and Freddy Marks were a singing trio who appeared both on Rainbow and their own 15-minute show, Rod, Jane and Freddy in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
They wrote hundreds of songs on various different topics. Most were comedic but several had deeper meanings.
Their shows always followed a certain format.
- Opening with a big song, giving you an idea of the theme of this particular show (music, pets, moving house, etc)
- Rod, Jane and Freddy would usually have solo songs
- There was often a sketch, but these were generally rarer than songs
- They would close with a final song
- As the credits rolled, the first or last song would be sung again
One of their most well known songs is "Big Dogs, Small Dogs".
The UK digital TV channel Nick Jr. has recently decided to repeat episodes of Rainbow featuring Rod, Jane and Freddy.
