Quirky World ... Teletubbies return to the small screen

ENGLAND: Much-loved TV characters Teletubbies are to say "eh-oh" to a new generation of viewers with a comeback more than a decade after the series ended-

The pre-school show, featuring Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa, and Po, will return for a further 60 episodes on BBC digital channel CBeebies. Programme-makers say the new show will be “visually enhanced, bringing a refreshed and contemporary look and feel”.

The show captured the nation’s imagination when it launched in 1997 and went on to become a huge global export for the BBC, airing in 45 languages and 120 territories. It continued to be made until 2001.
