For those of you not living on this planet (which, ironically, probably also includes the writers of this truely surreal show) the Teletubbies are a collection of four brightly coloured things (for want of a better description), with aerials on their heads and screens in their stomachs. Once per show a large windmill swirls while emitting a strange glow, and an unusual event occors, totally out of the blue, and unconnected with the rest of the show. They entertain children. No-one finds this even slightly worrying.

If I was a better person I would, of course, research the show some more before presenting you with my critical analysis, but as this would require me to watch it some more, and as I have a vested interest in my own mental health, unfortunately I could not. What I did manage to discover, while briefly "surfing the net" for information, is that the BBC (the Teletubbies' evil PayMasters) have disallowed the inclusion of pictures of the four on anyone's private web-sites. Obviously they are aware of what they have created and wish to limit children's exposure to this evil monster. Either that or they are intending to make even more money, by creating a massive demand for anything even slightly 'Tubby related. Work out for yourself which is more likely.

Fig. 1 - This is most certainly not, in any way, a picture of the Teletubbies, cleverly disguised by gratuitous use of image manipulating software. It's probably really some trees or something. That just happen to be the same colours as the 'Tubbies.
