"Teletubby Land" was a farmer's field in Stratford-Upon-Avon. The set only had temporary planning permission, so once the show ended production in 2001, the set had to be turned back into a flat field.

Quotes:

Additional Voices: I'm the bear, I'm the bear, with brown fuzzy hair. I'm hiding from the lion, but he doesn't know where!

A very pointless show

This show comes on at noon after Clifford on weekdays. Unfortunately for me, one day, I was not fast enough changing the channel before it came on. My two year old now cries if I try to change it. She like this.....stuff. I can't understand it. It has no educational value. All professionals say not to talk "baby talk" to your children if you want them to learn how to talk. Well, this does nothing to help. I understand nothing but the narrator. The only thing, I mean the ONLY thing good about this show is that it keeps my toddler occupied for 1/2 hour so I can get some housework done. And I would rather a messy house than to watch this junk.
