Not to be confused with the reboot episode of the same name.
The Teletubbies come into Home Hill one by one and say "Eh-oh!" Then, the Magic Windmill spins and the Teletubbies watch some Russian children blowing bubbles. The Tubby Custard Machine makes Tubby Custard Bubbles. After all the bubbles have burst, Noo-Noo tidies the mess up and then blows all the bubbles out of the house. The Teletubbies run outside and watch the bubbles float away before Tubby Bye-Bye.
Featuring: Youth Theatrical Studio "Umka"
