Teletubbies is a British children's television series created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport for the BBC. The programme focuses on four differently coloured characters known as the Teletubbies, named after the television screens on their bellies.
The Tiddlytubbies are eight smaller Teletubbies! They live with the Teletubbies in their own special part of the Home Dome. The Teletubbies are always excited when a voice trumpet announces “Time for Tiddlytubbies” and the Tiddlytubbies crawl into their own playroom.
The Teletubbies, portrayed by costumed actors, are soft round humanoids of toddlerlike proportions, with simple smiling faces, uniquely shaped aerial antennas on their heads, tummy-mounted silver television screens, and age-appropriate waddles.
