About This Program

Rainbow Mechanicals Hide‑and‑Seek/Baby Fire Truck/Weasel Wash Gone Wrong is an episode‑style programme that bundles three short stories into a single broadcast. It falls under the “programme” type and is presented as a triple‑bill, offering viewers a quick succession of whimsical adventures. The first story follows Gecko and his companions as they engage in a lively game of hide‑and‑seek. In the second segment, Gecko lends a hand to Baby Truck, converting her into a fire‑truck for a brief rescue‑ready makeover. The final piece centres on a car‑wash machine that goes awry, creating a chaotic clean‑up scenario. During the hide‑and‑seek portion, Gecko leads his friends through a series of playful searches, each trying to out‑smart the others while navigating the colourful setting. Their interactions capture the light‑hearted spirit of the series, with the simple premise of a classic children's game driving the action. The concluding segments see Gecko’s inventive side at work, first by reconfiguring Baby Truck into a fire‑truck, then by dealing with a malfunctioning car‑wash machine. Both situations unfold quickly, highlighting the characters’ resourcefulness and the humour that arises when everyday objects behave unexpectedly. Together, the three vignettes deliver a concise, entertaining glimpse into the world of Rainbow Mechanicals.
