Rod, Jane and Freddy was the best known name for a singing trio who appeared in children's programming on the British TV channel ITV in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. They starred both in the long-running series ''Rainbow'' as well as their own 15-minute show, ''The Rod, Jane and Freddy Show''. The trio have also made numerous guest appearances in several other children's TV shows including ''The Sooty Show''. The original trio consisted of Rod Burton, Jane Tucker and Matthew Corbett, when they were known as "Rod, Matt and Jane". Corbett left the trio in 1976 to continue hosting ''The Sooty Show'' after his father retired. Corbett was replaced by actor Roger Walker, whereupon the trio became known as "Rod, Jane and Roger". When Walker left in 1980 to continue his career in acting he was replaced by Freddy Marks, leading to the best remembered incarnation of the trio. During their 3 decades working on children's television they managed to write over 2500 songs on various topics using many different music styles, Most were comedic and fun but some had deeper meanings. Overall they have written and produced 10 albums and 24 videos, and conceived and performed numerous jingles for commercial radio, theme and title music for TV and songs for pantomimes. ==''Rod, Jane and Freddy''== Due to the their popularity on ''Rainbow'' in 1980 Rod, Jane and Freddy were approached by ITV to make their own show, ''Rod, Jane and Freddy'' aired its first episode on 15 January 1981. Rod, Jane and Freddy appeared in both their own show and ''Rainbow'' until 1991 when they left their position as musicians on Rainbow to focus solely on their own series. Their show often followed a certain format: * Opening with a big song, giving you an idea of the theme of this particular show (music and song, 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rod, Jane and Freddy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
