The climate is always sunny and pleasant save for occasional inclement days, with rain and puddles, and snow at Christmas time. The only natural fauna are rabbits (although birds are often heard, particularly blackcaps and wrens ). The environment is dotted with unusually talkative flowers and periscope-like "voice trumpets". The programme features 4 colourful characters: Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, who live in a futuristic dome (the "Tubbytronic Superdome"), set in a landscape of rolling green hills.
The program was also at the centre of a controversy when American cleric and conservative pundit Jerry Falwell claimed in 1999 that Tinky Winky, one of the Teletubbies, was a homosexual role model for children. Teletubbies was controversial for this reason, and also for a perception that it was insufficiently educational. The mixture of bright colors, unusual designs, repetitive non-verbal dialogue, ritualistic format, and the occasional forays into physical comedy appealed to a demographic who perceived the program as having psychedelic qualities. The baby was portrayed by Jessica Smith.Īlthough the program is aimed at children between the ages of one and four, it has a popularity with older generations. The sun, who has a baby's face, makes baby noises during the show, and it rises and sets to begin and end the show.
Mysterious speakers rise out of the ground to show the days' activities. They do things that little children like to do, such as rolling on the ground, laughing, running about, and watching real children on the televisions on their stomachs. In the show, the four colourful Teletubbies play in the cheerful and fun Teletubbyland. The program revolves around the adventures of Teletubbies, Tinky Winky, who is purple, Dipsy, who is green, Laa-Laa, who is yellow, and Po, who is red. Teletubbies Everywhere was awarded "Best Pre-school Live Action Series" at the 2002 Children's BAFTA Awards. The program rapidly became a critical and commercial success in Britain and abroad (particularly notable for its high production values), and won a BAFTA in 1998.
