What was the name of the pink Hippo in the children's television program "Rainbow"?

George is an effeminate anthropomorphic pink Hippo and a character of the popular children's television program "Rainbow", voiced by Roy Skelton and operated by Malcolm Lord, Tony Holtham and later Craig Crane. George was noted for his fondness of stories from the Rainbow book.

Sporting long eyelashes, George often appeared to be initially outwitted by the more extrovert and egotistical Zippy. George's "catchphrase" was his own delayed and elongated goodbye at the end of the show, i.e. Geoffrey, Zippy, Bungle, Rod, Jane, Freddy would say "goodbye" normally, followed by a one-second pause and then George's own "good by-eye". This was because Roy Skelton would voice both George and Zippy at the same time, meaning that they could not speak at the same time.
