Ghosts of Albion | Interviews | Roy Skelton
Zipping up the charts

Picture Do you like being part of a process where you do your thing and then leave it in the hands of the animators?

It's the story of my life. I did this children's programme for 20 years called Rainbow, and of course did the voice of Zippy and George. It's all been revived again now. That has been an animation but it's a puppet animation.

It's gone mad. I've just made a record and it's number 15 at the moment on Top of the Pops, and the album's just come out. It's all a bit silly, but it's wonderful.

Did you actually sing new stuff for the record, or did they sample old dialogue from the show?

We recorded new stuff. There's another album coming out, which includes It's Raining Men, Dancing Queen and Do You Really Like It?

A whole new career beckons?

It's ridiculous at my age. I don't mind anybody knowing my age - I'm 71 - but to go into the pop world at 71... I thought, 'Well, you know, that's life.'
