Herding Sheep

Some voice trumpets rise outside the house and make sheep noises. The Teletubbies watch Matthew, James, and Mark herding sheep. The Teletubbies go in and out, up and down, round the corner and to the top until it is time for Tubby Custard. The voice trumpet rises and the Teletubbies run outside to do Tubby Bye-Bye.

Featuring: Matthew, James and Mark Carnie

Plot (US version)[]

The Teletubbies do The Running Away Dance and then they watch Matthew, James, and Mark herding sheep. A little lamb appears from far away. The little lamb feels sad. The Teletubbies want to make the little lamb happy. So Laa-Laa does a dance, Tinky Winky brings it over to the flowers, Dipsy lets it wear his hat and Po even lets it ride her scooter. But after all that, the little lamb is still sad. Suddenly, the Teletubbies hear a noise. Then, another little lamb appears which makes the little lamb happy. Both of the little lambs then leave Teletubbyland and then it's time for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Trivia[]

Po was the boo shouter in the UK Version. Dipsy was the boo shouter in the US Version.
Laa-Laa was the missing Teletubby in the UK Version. Dipsy was the missing Teletubby in the US Version.
The opening segment is reused from Hickory Dickory Dock, but instead of ticking sounds, the voice trumpets make sheep sounds. When the Magic Windmill spins for the TV Event, the Teletubbies make sheep sounds whilst they are running off. Also in this episode, the Normal animation replaces the Original animation.
The Herding Sheep video was featured on the PlayStation/PC game Play with the Teletubbies.
The US Version of Herding Sheep aired on September 17, 1998.
The US Version has The Running Away Dance (extended version) at the beginning of the episode, but when the windmill spins after that, the clip where the Teletubbies say "Uh-Oh!" is from The Twisty Dance, which is the same clip after The Tip Toe Dance in Cafe Eggs.
This is the only episode where it cuts to a shot of the Tubbytronic Superdome and the Teletubbies running for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Goof[]

The opening segment, along with Hickory Dickory Dock has a reversed goof, where in this episode, the first Voice Trumpet's head turning sound effect was removed while the "ding" sound when it reaches the highest point is heard, while in Hickory Dickory Dock, the ding sound isn't heard, but the head turning sound effect is.
