Irish Dancing is the 27th episode from Series 4 of Teletubbies and the show's 127th episode overall.
Plot[]
In the Home Hill, the Teletubbies are eating Tubby Toast. It's time for them to do their exercises. A voice trumpet rises and gives them some exercises to do. When tired, they shout: "Run away, run away!" before they rush outside to watch a video about a little girl named Becky doing Irish Dancing. Later, the Teletubbies go to the path to do The Jumping Dance. Then The Magic Windmill starts to spin, and the Teletubbies rush off to see the Lion and Bear playing their hide-and-seek game in Teletubbyland. The Magic Windmill stops spinning for Tubby Bye-Bye.
Featuring: The Dancers of Bennett's End Community Centre, Hemel Hempstead
