Geoffrey Hayes (born: 13 March, 1942 in Cheshire, England) is an English television presenter and actor, best known as the host of Thames Television's top-rated children's show Rainbow from 1973 to 1992. Before that, he had much other work, including a recurring role in BBC1's police drama Z Cars.
After Rainbow was cancelled, he presented the short-lived 1990s children's show Mole In The Hole. He continued to get work in television and pantomime, but it seems it wasn't enough to earn a living. Hayes admitted he hadn't been wise with his money and had pretty much spent it all by the time Rainbow had come to an end.
He took a job working in a British supermarket chain, before becoming a taxi driver (which he is still doing today). He later starred in a humorous television advert about investing money, making fun of his fall from the top.
