It had to be modified - all scenes with David Attenborough were cut, and the brutal scene of Po being ripped to pieces by a malfunctioning Nu Nu was removed, but most of the footage survived intact. The BBC engaged in a huge cover-up, fabricating production crew and news stories, and to this day still maintains that Teletubbies is a fictional childrens show. The program's success has meant prolonging the show's run, forcing filming of new footage by the Natural History unit, and massive recycling of old footage. Below, available to the public for the first time, are detailed notes on the Teletubby species, assembled from observations and annotations created by the show's film unit. Appearance Teletubbies are typically around 1.2 - 1.6 metres tall, and humanoid.
Coloration is varied, but always garish.
Movement is clumsy - similar to that of a small person in a highly restrictive outfit. All Teletubbies have a cranial protrusion that extends vertically and can vary widely in shape and size between different specimens. Its purpose is uncertain but it has been seen to glow on activation of the abdominal television, leading some experts to speculate that it is some form of signal receiving apparatus. Teletubbies can also be identified by the unending stream of nonsense emerging from their mouths. Social Structure Teletubbies typically live in groups of four in a communal dwelling.
