Teletubbies

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po live happily together in their own world of childhood fantasy where a baby faced smiling sun rises each morning, rabbits run over the rolling hills and voice trumpets connect them with the real world, naming things, counting things, and singing songs.

Hidden under the hills is the Tubbytronic Superdome where the Teletubbies sleep and play with the technology that supplies their food, Tubby custard and Tubby toast. A conscientious comic vacuum cleaner Noo Noo shares their living quarters. A magic windmill brings them pictures of children from the real world and two wooden animals, Lion and Bear (with voices by Penelope Keith and Eric Sykes) are friendly faces.

Drawing on months of research with its target audience of 2-5 year olds, Teletubbies is a major pre-school initiative which focuses on learning through the joy of play and helps prepare children for their forthcoming school life. Teletubbies is designed to make children feel confident and relaxed, and ready to learn.
