The British TV show “Teletubbies” aired from 1997 to 2001

Despite their on-screen portrayal, the characters were notably large in real life: Tinky Winky stood at 10 feet tall, Po at 6 feet 6 inches, Laa-Laa at 6 feet 5 inches, and Dipsy at 8 feet.

To create the illusion of smaller characters, the show was filmed on an expansive set in Wimpstone, Warwickshire. The location of the set was initially kept confidential.

However, once the information became public, it unintentionally turned into a tourist attraction, drawing individuals who would trespass to explore the “Tubbytronic Superdome.” Faced with persistent disturbances, the landowners eventually took action and opted to flood the set.

  Same here, wasn’t that much of a fan though but still didn’t mind staring at the TV watching them in the morning while preparing for school.
