    • Trivia
      Exterior scenes were only filmed on clear, sunny days. When the weather was overcast, the crew would wait for the sun to come out or shoot a scene inside the 'Dome' instead.

      Additional Voices: Over the hills and far away, Teletubbies come to play.

    Watched by Children and Students
    The Teletubbies live in a Nazi-style bunker where everything is "lovely". Genetically modified rabbits are their only living companions. A voice from nowhere tells them what to do, or tells them what is about to happen to them. They show a small film from one of their bellies and then repeat the film - this was another Nazi trick - repetition being used to brain-wash.

    All of this weird nonsense is watched over by a baby in the sun. All the Teletubbies are named after slang for genitalia:- Tinky Winky (obviously the male organ), La La (female), Po (bottom in German) and Dipsy (Russian slang for the male organ.

    It's quite amazing - you should watch it.
