Ned's Bicycle (Teletubbies 1997 series episode)

Ned's Bicycle is the very first episode of Teletubbies.
==Plot==
We are introduced to the Teletubbies as they ride down the slide inside Home Hill. They enjoy Tubby Toast until the Magic Windmill spins. Following this, the characters watch a boy named Ned and his father getting ready for a bicycle trip. Po finds a flag and leads Tinky Winky on a march across Teletubbyland. Dipsy and Laa-Laa see the flag and join in. The Magic Windmill spins again and the Teletubbies go to watch a Magical Event. The Teletubbies gasp in excitement as an Animal Parade marches through Teletubbyland. Afterward, the animals march away. The Magic Windmill stops spinning and it's time for Tubby Bye-Bye.
