Teletubbies is a British BBC children’s series targeted at pre-school viewers it was first produced from 31st March 1997 and it had ended around the 5th of January 2001, it was created by Ragdoll Productions. It was also broadcasted on P.B.S. or otherwise known as Public Broadcasting Service, since the 6th of April 1998 until the 19th of June 2005.

Teletubbies, particularly notable for its great films it has been given a great budget which is known as a high production value, rapidly became one of the critical and commercial success in Britain and abroad it had won a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) in 1988. Not so long after something else called Teletubbies Everywhere was awarded “Best Pre-school Live Action Series” at the 2002 Children’s BAFTA Awards.

Even though it is aimed at children between the ages of one and four, it has  a substantial cult following with older generations, mainly University and College students. The mixture of bright colours, unusual designs, repetitive non-verbal dialogue, ritualistic format, and occasional forays into physical comedy appealed to many as who perceived the programme as having psychedelic qualities.

In June 2014 the BBC announced a new 60-episode series of Teletubbies will be aired, with DHX Media, which recently acquired Ragdoll Productions, producing the series. It marks the first new episodes of the series since 2001 also the first to be aired on CBeebies, after reruns were broadcast on the channel. But however, the new series will be filmed on replica model sets instead instead of the Warwickshire countryside (the original setting for Teletubbyland) since a pond now exists there. It is unknown if the original actors will return or not.
