BRITAIN, JULY 23--Thieves have stolen the original puppets* of Bungle, Zippy and George used in the hit* children's television show Rainbow.

　　The three costumes* had been taken to Bristol to film scenes for Geoffrey Hayes' new stage show Over the Rainbow, set to premiere* at the Edinburgh Festival on August 2.

　　They were taken from the back of a car parked in a service station* as they were being returned to London.

　　Hayes, from the television show, is said to be very unpleased about the loss* of the costumes, one of only a handful of original sets used during the filming of the programme.

　　He had only just bought the Bungle puppet at an auction at Christie's for ￡3,500 and the trio* as a set are thought to be worth many thousands of pounds.

　　A spokesman* said: "It can only have been around 10 minutes that they were left in the car. No one could possibly have known it was them - it must have been opportunistic* - someone who saw the Christie's logo* on the bags.

　　"We desperately* want them back. They are due* on stage in a week's time. There are two generations* of people who grew up with them and everyone knows who they are so you couldn't really hide them."
