Teletubbies are back!

To those who still enjoys catoons or join the kids to watch one sub-consciously, you will notice that the Teletubbies have stand out with its unique packaging. For some times, they disappeared from the screen and we believe the kids would have bothered so much.

They are unlikely to realise it, but when
Tinky Winky and his colourful pals return to our screens almost 20 years since they first baby-talked their way to extraordinary global success, they will symbolise troubling trends in the world of children's television. Because these days, if it isn't are make, ideally with some celebrity voices, it seems there isn't much hope of a hit.

It's enough to make Bob the Builder down tools in protest. The Teletubbies revival line-up, revealed this week, includes the voices of Jim Broadbent and Jane Horrocks of Little Voice and Ab Fab
fame, who will play the Tubby Phone, a new "character" in Teletubbyland. Big names, but not everyone is convinced. Anne Wood, the co-creator of the original show, which Ragdoll Productions made between 1997 and 2001, revealed last month that she wouldn't be watching the new episodes, made by London-based Darrall Macqueen after a Canadian company bought the rights.

"I couldn't bring myself to," she told the
Radio Times. "All my programmes are like
my children. It's like seeing a child remade
in somebody else's image." More tellingly,
she added: "There are such a lot of programmes being remade and I just feel that the children's television industry is worth more than that. It would be nice if more encouragement was given to new work."
