Teletubbies

Teletubbies is a BBC BAFTA-winning children's television series, primarily aimed at pre-school viewers, produced from 1997 to 2001 by Ragdoll Productions. It was created by Anne Wood CBE, Ragdoll's creative director, and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes. The show's original narrator was Tim Whitnall. The show first aired on 31 March 1997, and was syndicated in the United States on the PBS network on 6 April 1998. It rapidly became a critical and commercial success in Britain and abroad (particularly notable for its high production values), and won a BAFTA in 1998. In 2001 production was cancelled and it was announced that no new episodes would be produced, with the last episode being aired on 5 January 2001.
