Tubby Bye-Bye

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

A Voice Trumpet rises and announces 'Time for Tubby Bye-Bye!' 3 times. The Teletubbies (Shown in the picture opposite) groan and say 'No' sadly because they don't want to say goodbye. The Baby Sun giggles. When the piano starts playing the Teletubbies Theme (in C Major), The Narrator's IVONA Brian says 'Bye-Bye (name of teletubby)' to each Teletubby in order and they duck down behind the hills they are standing behind. The Teletubbies silently giggle and a random Teletubby pops up, shouting 'Boo!' followed by the others popping up and giggling since the Teletubbies think Tubby Bye-Bye is a game. But, The Narrator says 'No' (which the Teletubbies repeat/mimic and giggle again) to remind the Teletubbies that Tubby Bye Bye is *not* a game, it's *really* time to say goodbye. Then, after the Baby Sun giggles again, the narrator says 'Bye-Bye (name of teletubby)' to each Teletubby again, and the Piano plays the Teletubbies Theme again (this time with more instruments and in E Major). The Baby Sun sets as the IVONA Amy voiceover says 'The sun is setting in the sky. Teletubbies say goodbye'. The Teletubbies starting with the boo shouter walk up to the top of the house to say 'Bye-bye!' and then jump in the hole of the Tubbytronic Superdome. As the credits roll, all four Teletubbies (except for the snow episodes but the only one Teletubby - the boo shouter) says goodbye for a final time by popping out of the hole. Afterwards, the setting Baby Sun disappears behind the hills causing the sky to turn orange as the episode ends.

## Trivia

* When Laa-Laa was the boo shouter, the Teletubbies' voices sound different, but episodes with the other Teletubbies as the boo shouter, it sound the same audio is used.
* The Windmill is seen in its Start/Stop Spinning animation with the ground when the Teletubbies jump into the Superdome, spinning slowly without sparkles.
* When Po was the boo shouter, the Teletubbies do not giggle before Po says 'boo'.
* 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 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.
* There are 3 episodes where the Teletubbies don't groan or sadly say no when it's time to say goodbye and just run out of the house. Those episodes are Perfume, Fire, and Wild Wild World (Pt.2)
