A Look Inside The Polarizing Children's Show

In the first season of the "Teletubies" reboot, an episode titled "Babies" aired, introducing viewers to eight baby Teletubbies known as Tiddlytubbies: Ping, Duggle Dee, Ru-Ru, Umby Pumby, Daa-Daa, Mi-Mi, Baa, and Nin. Teletubbies with child? How could it be? It was an idea that confused many fans, even though Tiddlytubbies could, theoretically, have come from anywhere — including the stork or the Sun Baby. It's probably best to assume that the Teletubbies did not, in fact, procreate. They likely just beamed down or sprouted up with the flowers — that's what we're going to believe anyway.

The adorable tiny characters live in the Tubbytronic Superdome along with their older counterparts. They spend most of their time recreationally in their play area, where a number of toys can be found such as the Tiddlynoo, Bouncy Swing, and Umby Pumby's Teddy Bear. The Teletubbies and Tiddlytubbies often interact during playtime, which is announced via voice trumpet playing a tune and declaring "Time for Tiddlytubbies, Tiddlytubbies playtime!"

While their voices may all sound different, all of the Tiddlytubbies are, as it turns out, voiced by one person: British-American Teresa Gallagher, who also worked on the "Amazing World of Gumball" and "Octonauts: Above & Beyond."
