Starting from Tinky Winky to Laa-Laa, the characters are still remembered today. Cheerful nuances and full of happiness always served them. But it turns out that there are some unpleasant stories that were felt by the stars during the shoot.

“It was the most disgusting concoction, made from a cheap catering package (containing) instant mashed potatoes, which was completely watered down and turned pink with dye,” he said.
Not only that, he said that the costumes and some cutlery on the set were not really cleaned. This creates a pungent odor that makes him always want to throw up.

Previously, there was a lot of talk about the Teletubbies episode which was banned in almost all countries. Entitled The Lion and The Bear, it is illustrated that the Teletubbies have guests, namely a bear and a lion. Instead of making the atmosphere cheerful, their arrival only spread terror.
Moreover, at that time the two animals presented a frightening sound. It was criticized by the public so that the British production party made a policy to change the script of the episode and reshoot it with a more cheerful and child-friendly atmosphere.
