The bear at the scary hill
Inside the Home Hill, the Teletubbies are sleeping when a Voice Trumpet rises and sings the nursery rhyme in French called 'Frere Jacques' (known in English as 'Are You Sleeping?') to them. When the song gets to the 'Ding, Dang, Dong' verse, a loud bong plays making the screen shake and the Teletubbies laugh. They listen to the song a few times before going back to sleep. Then they wake up to see the Magic Windmill spinning. The Teletubbies watch two boys going to the dentist. Then, the Lion and Bear play hide and seek before the Magic Windmill stops spinning for Tubby Bye-Bye.
Featuring: Reena Aluwhalia and The Armstrong Family
