The Confessions of a Teletubby

Arguments and poo, sex and swearing, blood, sweat, tears and giant rabbits! Life on the set of Teletubbies might not have been quite as you imagined.

Fresh from sell-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe, Confessions of a Teletubby lifts the lid on what went on behind the scenes of one of the most globally successful TV shows ever. Nikky Smedley played LaaLaa (the yellow one) in the original series of Teletubbies for six years - that’s a lot of custard for a grown woman to get excited about. Come and hear how she got the job by dressing as a bistro table; what it was really like inside one of those (surprisingly large) Tubby suits; how the NooNoo really worked and why children loved the show so much.
