Teletubbies

Teletubbies is a British children's television series created by Ragdoll Production, Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport for BBC. The programme focuses on four multi-coloured creatures known as "Teletubbies", named after the television screens implanted in their abdomens. Recognised throughout popular culture for the uniquely shaped antenna protruding from the head of each character, the Teletubbies communicate through gibberish and were designed to bear resemblance to toddlers.

The series rapidly became a commercial success in Britain and abroad. It won multiple BAFTA awards and was nominated for two Daytime Emmys throughout its run. A single based on the show's theme song reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart in and remained in the Top 75 for 32 weeks, selling over a million copies. By, the franchise generated over £1 billion ($1.61 billion) in merchandise sales.

Though the original run ended in, sixty new episodes were ordered in. They are currently aired on CBeebies in the United Kingdom and on Nick Jr. in the United States. Re-runs of the original series continue to be shown on relevant television channels worldwide.

The original series returned to live TV in the US on Pluto TV on but the episodes are shown in the UK format instead of the US which is where the Pluto TV service is based in. The same error occurred with the series' availability on the NOGGIN app since.
