Then the Magic Windmill stops spinning and then it is time for Tubby Bye Bye.

Featuring: Andy Brown with Matthew & Lauren Goodsmith and Adam Lewis

## Trivia

* There is a rare Magic Windmill clip in this episode. It is when before it was time for Tubby Bye-Bye, the Magic Windmill is seen in its Stop Spinning animation, though it was making the Magical Event sound. Probably this episode was going to have a Magical Event, but there wasn't any time left.

* Laa-Laa was the boo shouter.

* Dipsy was the missing Teletubby.

## Goofs

* Because the Magical Event tune is played when the Windmill stops spinning, After it stops, It can still be heard whooshing even though it stopped.
* When Po was the missing Teletubby in the Indonesian version (same VCD on Feathers, Feathers Everywhere), the audio of Dipsy was missing the Teletubby can be heard in the background.

Tummy Bumping

**Bumping tummies** is one of the Teletubbies' favorite activities. They do it during the title sequence of each show and during several dances. They seem to enjoy it and it is a treat for the others to get to bump into Tinky Winky. However, Tinky Winky will often choose to bump tummies with Dipsy because he's a guy. The Teletubbies use it to celebrate their camaraderie and their triumphs, so it's used in situations where people might instead high-five each other in real life. In the original series, whenever the Teletubbies bumped tummies, their jingling noises were heard. In the revival series, the parping noises are heard.

Tinky Winky

Tinky Winky: "Dipsy pill the Tubby Kustard?"
Dipsy: "No."
Tinky Winky: "No??"
— Tinky Winky and Dipsy

 **Date of Birth** | April 28, 1962 (age 58)
(original series)
December 21, 2003 (age 17)
 **Favourite Thing** | Red Handbag

Tinky Winky is the first Teletubby whom is famous for his t-shaped triangle that is shaped like a filter funnel, hence the name 'Tinky Winky'. His favourite object is a red purse, in which he calls the purse "Tinky Winky Bag". He loves to carry it around and fill it with interesting items—just like children. In the Teletubbies' Dome he sleeps on the far left side. He is a great "big man" who can use his initiative to solve problems. Tinky Winky may be a giant among children but he's also very gentle. He is Queen Loveheart's second cousin once removed making Tinky Winky a prince by birth. He is also Loveheart's ex-boyfriend

He is a driver on the Tubby Transit Authority which runs to the Space Centre. Tinky Winky might be afraid of The Scary Lion as in the original sketch when the Lion was first introduced and he could have screamed. He is involved quite a lot with the audience in Teletubbies. He is notable for the red luggage (described by the show as a bag or "magic bag", but often described by other media as a handbag or purse) he always carries. His character has caused controversy due to allegations that his character's behavior, bag and body color have homosexual qualities.

He is also very enthusiastic about boats. He is bilingual like Po, speaking English and Bulgarian. He knows not to be scared of spooky stuff that happens because astronauts high above track everything in Teletubbyland and the Teletubbies can speak to them in person on secret screens hidden inside their beds, where they speak to American and European astronauts when worried or frightened or in a bad mood. He also reacts to the e.Coli scare in Australia, Canada, Japan and Spain, from non-contaminated fruits that make even Fruit Salad look safe to eat.

Tinky Winky is the oldest and biggest Teletubby, as he is 10 feet tall and he is purple. He is mature and intelligent even though he still speaks the same as the other Teletubbies. He likes walking, marching, dancing, singing his own special Tinky Winky song and falling over. He maybe has a crush on Po. In The Teletubbies Most Wanted, He was Po's very first kiss when he kissed her intimately on the lips with lipgloss. Tinky Winky is married to Po and they have 5 kids together. His eldest son resembles and is named after him. He has a pet cat called Snowball. Tinky Winky is very partial to Big Hugs. He is played and voiced by Dave Thompson, Mark Heenahan in the original series, Simon Shelton in the original series and The Teletubbies Movie (original 2011 release) and Jeremiah Krage in The Teletubbies Movie (Teletubbies 20th Anniversary Edition 2017 rerelease voiceover), The Teletubbies Most Wanted and the 2015 revival series.

Tubby Toast

**Tubby Toast** is a round piece of toasted bread with a smiley face on it. Rarely, it has a frowning face on it, as seen in episodes such as Feeding the Chickens and Picking Chillies (Spain). It is one of the Teletubbies' favourite foods. The Teletubbies make Tubby Toast with the Tubby Toaster. Tubby Toast has also had some fun incidents involved:

* In Feeding the Chickens, the Tubby Toaster malfunctions for some reason and makes too much Tubby Toast and it flies all around the house and even outside.
* In Naughty Sock Returns, the Tubby Toaster makes lots of Tubby Toast again and creates a Tubby Toast Tower. This happens again in the reboot series episodes, Loop the Loop and Tall Tower.
* In Playing with Dough, the Tubby Toaster makes a very big piece of Tubby Toast.
* In Pebbles, the Tubby Toaster makes lots of Tubby Toast and creates a Tubby Toast Pattern on the Tubby Table.
* In Apple Pie and Monkeys, the Tubby Toaster makes bouncy Tubby Toast which bounces all over the house.
* In Picking Chillies (Spain), Tinky-Winky makes lots of Tubby Toast and puts it in his bag. But when he opens his bag, all the Tubby Toast burst out all over Teletubbyland.
* In Washing Up, Laa-Laa and Po pressed the button on the Tubbytoast machine many times causing it to make many Tubbytoast and the whole Tubbytable is left in a mess.

The Teletubbies love Tubby Toast.

## Trivia

* When all 4 Teletubbies have Tubby Toast together, their Tubby Toast lands on their plates in a particular order: Dipsy, Tinky Winky, Po and Laa-Laa. In Dirty Dog, the order is different: Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po and Tinky Winky.
* In real life, Tubby Toast is not edible as it is made out of possibly foam or plastic.
* The Tubby Toast impact sound effect heard when the toasts land on the table or anywhere around the dome or Teletubbyland was re-used in another Ragdoll show, Brum which is the episode 'Brum and the Naughty dog' where the sausage from the hotdog lands in the hole before Scruffy the dog hops down to eat it.
