Tubby Bye Bye Il

**Tubby Bye-Bye** is the ending sequence of every Teletubbies of the original series. There are two things that signify that the Tubby Bye-Bye sequence has started: The Magic Windmill stop spinning, (even if there's no Magical Events, available or the Sun Baby giggles (from 1997 to 2014)), unless that would move on to another scene.

## Original TV Series

A voice trumpet rises to the right, faces straight (right at the Teletubbies), and announces, "Time for Tubby Bye-Bye!" three times. The Teletubbies have stopped playing, but they're not looking forward to ending the show. The Baby Sun lets out a giggle. As the narrator says "Bye-bye" in order to the Teletubbies (one by one), they each mimic and duck behind the hills (while the Teletubbies theme song plays on a piano and in C major). The show (at first sight) appears to be over, until the Teletubbies try to outsmart the sequence, and a random Teletubby reappears saying "Boo" (followed by the others who do the same). Then, the show (at second sight) appears to go on again, and the Teletubbies think Tubby Bye-Bye is a game. However, the narrator catches the Teletubbies and warns them with a big, long, "No" (to which the Teletubbies mimic and giggle again) to clarify that it’s not a game and it's really time to say goodbye. After the Sun Baby giggles again, the narrator says "Bye-bye" to each of the Teletubbies again (while the Teletubbies theme plays again with more instruments and in E major), but this time the Teletubbies seriously obey the sequence without outsmarting it again. Then, the Baby Sun starts to set, while a voiceover says, "The sun is setting in the sky. Teletubbies say goodbye". As the Teletubbies have left their hiding places and head to the Tubbytronic Superdome, they -one after another (starting with the "Boo" shouter)- lead themselves to the house, climb to the top, and say “Bye-Bye” before jumping into the hole, as the end credits roll and an extended medley of the Teletubbies theme song plays (finally on even more instruments and in E major). As the Baby Sun sets, one Teletubby (the "Boo" shouter) reappears from the house's entrance hole, saying "Bye-bye" for a final time, before ducking back down into the house. As the show finally ends (much to the narrator's relief), the Baby Sun lets out one final giggle and disappears behind the hills, then it becomes dusk.

## Reboot TV Series

### 2015 - 2021 Version

* When the narrator says "Bye-bye" to each Teletubby (for the first time before they outsmart the sequence), the instrumental version of the Teletubbies theme song plays in D major.
* After the narrator says, "The sun is setting in the sky. Teletubbies say goodbye." all the Teletubbies starting with the Teletubby that has a 'boo' shouter (i.e. Dipsy was first, then Laa-Laa, then Po, and finally, Tinky-Winky) are going home to say "Bye-bye!" and then jump in the hole of the Tubbytronic Superdome.
* After the Teletubbies duck down behind the hills, they do not giggle (Most likely to try to be more sneaky than they did from the original). When the Tubby Bye Bye fails, all 4 Teletubbies pop up to say "Boo!", their signature instrument plays a small music cue (Tuba for Tinky Winky, Marimba for Dipsy, Trumpet for Laa-Laa, and Piano for Po) (Most likely to immediately get the narrator's attention to catch them).
* After the Narrator and the Teletubbies go in a big, long, "No" in a slightly more flexible but even more serious tone, instead of saying 'Bye-Bye' to each Teletubby again, the Narrator says 'Bye-Bye Teletubbies' and all 4 Teletubbies at the same time say 'Bye-Bye' and duck down behind the hills together at the same time, but for the second time it was successful. This likely shows that the narrator really wants to get the sequence over with and the fact that the Teletubbies outsmarted the sequence by accident (but not on purpose unlike the original). Also, the Sun Baby doesn’t giggle after the Narrator and the Teletubbies say a big long “No”.

### Britain's Got Talent + 2022 - present Version

* The Voice Trumpet rises and announces "Time for Tubby Bye-Bye!" twice.
* They lacked a big, long, "No" two times, and the boo shouting.
* The Narrator says 'Bye-Bye Teletubbies' and all 4 Teletubbies at the same time say 'Bye-Bye' and duck down behind the hills together at the same time, but for the first and only time it was successful. The instrumental version of the Teletubbies theme song plays in E major. Also, the Sun Baby doesn’t giggle two times.

## Trivia

* Moreover, keeping the show and episode around indefinitely is also against the contract.
* When Laa-Laa is the boo shouter, the Teletubbies voices sound different, but episodes with the other Teletubbies saying boo, it sounds the same.
* In the Teletubbies Videos, and on PBS Kids, all four Teletubbies pop up to say "Bye-Bye!" for the final time at the end of the video.
* Some videos, such as Here Come the Teletubbies, Dance with the Teletubbies and Nursery Rhymes, have the Tubby Bye-Bye Tune with the Xylophone and Piano playing when all the Teletubbies pop up to say bye bye at the very end of the video. Other videos, such as Uh-Oh! Messes & Muddles (Funny Day), Big Hug! and Musical Playtime, have the tune but without the Xylophone and Piano playing. It can not be seen on Teletubbies: Favourite Games.
* The Windmill Teletubbies listen seen in its each microphone and Start/Stop Spinning animation with the ground when the Teletubbies jump into the Superdome, spinning slowly without sparkles, especially the standard (UK and US version).
* When Po is the boo shouter, the Teletubbies do not giggle before Po says "boo shouter".
* In the PBS version, a female narrator is in the Voice Trumpet, and Rolf Saxon says the rhyme and signs off to the Teletubbies. Also, one of the credits say To Find Out More About Teletubbies: PBS Online at www.pbs.org after the last Teletubby jumps into the Tubbytronic Superdome at Home Hill.

There is also a snowy version of the Tubby Bye-Bye segment used in the snow themed episodes. There are some differences between this version and the normal version. For example, the Voice Trumpet appears to be rising between hills, as opposed to rising from behind some flowers in the normal Tubby Bye-Bye. To add to that, the Voice Trumpet doesn't turn it's, but this head like it does in the normal Tubby Bye-Bye. Finally, the Voice Trumpet is covered in snow, which, of course, is different from the normal version.

* But either way, the last scene in the end credits is the same (in all versions -USA/PBS, UK, Canada, Australia, and foreign languages). After the last of the four Teletubbies in line in the USA/PBS version and the home videos says "Bye-bye" for the final time (or just the "Boo" shouter for the other versions, especially the standard UK version), the scene cuts to the now-setting Baby Sun. The final scene in the end credits is also the same where the Teletubbies have already gone home, wrapped it up (properly), and have gone to bed. As the show finally ends (much to the narrator's relief), the Baby Sun lets out one final giggle. As the show (and episode) ends and the Ragdoll Productions logo follows.
* As the show ends, the final scene cuts to the part where the Baby Sun lets out one final giggle, disappears behind the hills, and reflects Teletubbyland with orange sunset light (much to the narrator's relief).
* The Teletubbies - because they still do not want to saying "goodbye"- before outsmarting the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence whisper and giggle, and have stopped try to think of a solution so they can potentially get their show and episode back in without having to say goodbye (if they are really lucky). Then, they unsuccessfully (and unacceptably) sneak out without telling anyone's permission, say "Boo!", and outsmart the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence. Then the show seems to go on again. But before any more steps (from the Teletubbies) are taken, the narrator stops them, finds them horsing around, and responds in a scolding manner. He says a big, long, "No", as if to tell the Teletubbies and the viewer that when he and the voice trumpets said it was time to say goodbye (after the voice trumpet announcer said, "Time for 'Tubby Bye-Bye'!") and he said "Bye-bye" to the Teletubbies, he - and the voice trumpets- meant it. Then the Teletubbies (now that they have been caught) respond back by mimicking his "No" and they giggle again. The narrator serious "No" is to simply clarify that "Tubby Bye-Bye" is not a game and it's really time to say goodbye with no appearance of a "half continuation". After clarifying that "Tubby Bye-Bye" is not a game and what it really means. The show ends (much to the narrator's relief) he simply won't listen to another word. He wants to see the Teletubbies do nothing but follow the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence as they were told to by the voice trumpets (who said "Time for 'Tubby Bye-Bye'!" in the first place).
* However, no matter who the "Boo" shouter is (dependent with the episode), the Teletubbies fail the first time (the first time fails), they say "Boo", they outsmart the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence (so they can get back their show and activities), the narrator catches them still out (and playing games), the narrator warning and semi-scolding the Teletubbies, the "Bye-Bye" attempt happens for a second time (much to the narrator's hope, he hopes they are going to listen and obey the second time before he gives them one more chance to try again), and the second time succeeds. The "attempts" segment is the same, regardless of the Teletubbies character who is the "Boo" shouter.
* Also, after the Sun Baby starts to set and the closing rhyme is recited, the Teletubbies (when going back to the Tubbytronic Superdome) seem less disappointed and reluctant than the original, but are more obedient. However, the ending of the reboot version, once the Sun Baby is set down, it will become nighttime instead of dusk.
* In the case with Po as the "Boo" shouter, the Teletubbies do not giggle before Po says "Boo". Episodes with the other Teletubbies being the "Boo" shouter (after the first attempt and before the narrator warns and semi scolds the Teletubbies --where he says "No"-- and the second attempt) have the Teletubbies silently giggle before Tinky Winky, Dipsy, or Laa-Laa says "Boo".
* The Teletubbies outsmart the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence after being told "Bye-Bye" and are disobedient for the first time works the same way (as all episodes). The only difference is (in Laa-Laa's case) the Teletubbies's "Bye-bye" voices sound different in both of the tries. However, the Teletubbies (before outsmarting the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence) still silently giggle before Laa-Laa says "Boo".
* A female voice announcer is in the Voice Trumpet, and Rolf Saxon (the narrator for the USA/PBS version) says the goodbye rhyme and signs off to the Teletubbies. In the UK, Canada, or Australia, along with foreign language dubs, a male voice announcer is in the Voice Trumpet, and a female narrator says the goodbye rhyme and signs off to the Teletubbies. This is on the "goodbye rhyme" segment (which occurs after the "attempts" segment --on the second and last try where the Teletubbies say "Bye-bye" for the second and last time but are obedient about it unlike in the first try-- and before the Teletubbies jump into the Tubbytronic Superdome followed by the end credits afterwards). In the USA/PBS version, Rolf Saxon does the goodbye rhyme, but in all other versions of the original TV series it's the female voice, especially Toyah Wilcox in the original UK version. This is always after the second try on the "attempts" segment.
* In the UK, Canada, Australia, and other foreign languages of the original TV series -aside from the USA/PBS version- Toyah Wilcox (the female voiceover) says the closing rhyme -after the Teletubbies obediently say "Bye-bye" for the second time behind the hills- ("The sun is setting in the sky. Teletubbies say 'goodbye'".). However, in the USA/PBS version, Rolf Saxon (the narrator for the USA/PBS version) does the closing rhyme. This occurs after the second attempt (to where the Teletubbies --one by one during the count-- repeat "Bye-bye" after the narrator like the first attempt --though they are obedient about it the second time).
* All PBS Kids shows (on PBS) have a message in the end so viewers can find out more/learn more about the PBS Kids show (insert program name here). At the end of Teletubbies (on PBS) --not counting the Teletubbies Everywhere episodes-- a message at the end (so viewers can find out more/learn more about it) appears (plugging the website). This is before the end credits roll. On early airings/early episodes (through Fall 2000) the PBS website message reads, "To find out more about Teletubbies: PBS Online at www.pbs.org" (after the last Teletubby jumps into the Tubbytronic Superdome). In later airings/later episodes (starting from late 2000; Dec. 2000) and reruns (since Feb. 16, 2001 through 2008), it reads, "To find out more about Teletubbies: PBS Online at pbskids.org or America Online Keyword: PBS Kids".
* This is because around fall 2000, it was called "PBS Kids" so children could see only the PBS TV shows (aimed at children). All PBS messages (at the end of TV shows --including Teletubbies) were changed to, "Visit pbskids.org or America Online Keyword: PBS Kids" from their "old/former message" (which was formerly stated as, "Visit www.pbs.org").
* While most PBS TV shows (which have the PBS/PBS Kids message) have a main character say the PBS/PBS Kids message, Teletubbies is the only TV show (with a PBS/PBS Kids message at the end) to not have their main characters say this line. Instead, this line is spoken by word (without reading the message) before the end credits roll.
* The PBS/PBS Kids website message (before the end credits roll) is shown after the scene where the Teletubbies (disappointed and reluctant, but eventually obedient) climb the Tubbytronic Superdome to say goodbye and before the Teletubbies --while the end credits roll-- pop out of the hole (in PBS version the "Boo" shouter first and then the rest of the Teletubbies or in the other versions just the "Boo" shouter) to say goodbye for the final time. Either way, this occurs after the Teletubbies --'''half''' unwillingly but eventually '''fully''' obedient and proper behaved-- obey the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence and jump into the hole (at the top of the house).
* In the case with Po as the "Boo" shouter, the Teletubbies do not giggle before Po says "Boo". Episodes with the other Teletubbies being the "Boo" shouter (after the first attempt and before the narrator warns and semi-scolds the Teletubbies --before giving them one more chance to listen, obey, and follow the "Tubby Bye-Bye" sequence-- and the second attempt) have the Teletubbies silently giggle before Tinky Winky, Dipsy, or Laa-Laa say "Boo".
* Before that, before the Baby Sun does her final giggles and disappears (after the Teletubbies --who have all said "Bye-bye"-- have wrapped up the episode --until, the next/following episode-- and have gone to bed --much to the narrator's relief), the show and episode (itself) ends as the last credit is shown, and the ''Ragdoll Productions'' logo is shown.
* There are 05 episodes where the Teletubbies original series don't groan or sadly say no when it's time to say goodbye and just run out of the house. These episodes are Loretta Tap Dancing, Herding Sheep, Numbers: 9 (Version 1), How Things Swim and Numbers: 2 (Version 2).
* There are 04 episodes where the Teletubbies original series say 'Uh Oh!' when the voice trumpet says 'Time for Tubby Bye Bye'. Those episodes are Flamenco Guitar, Animals: Snails and Naughty Duck.

## Boo shouters

* See Tubby Bye-Bye/Boo shouters for the list of episodes with Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po as boo shouters (both the original and reboot episode).
