Plot (Version 1)

In Teletubbyland, Dipsy and Laa Laa listen to a voice trumpet sing the nursery rhyme 'Jack and Jill', and then they

re-enact the rhyme and roll away. The Magic Windmill spins and the Teletubbies watch some children learn about the number 2. Back in Teletubbyland, Laa Laa plays Peek a Boo and Tinky-Winky surprises her. The Magic Windmill spins for the Lion and Bear. The Teletubbies do the Running Away dance before the sun sets for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Featuring: The Children of Duncombe School, London

Plot (Version 2)

The Teletubbies listen to a voice trumpet recite the nursery rhyme 'Two Little Dickie Birds' before watching some children learning about number 2. Dipsy and Laa-Laa are eating Tubby Toast when they decide to play a game called 'Two Little Teletubbies', but the Noo-Noo tidies up the Tubby Toast while they are playing. The Teletubbies chase him around the house before the voice trumpet rises for Tubby Bye Bye.

Featuring: The Children of Duncombe School, London

Plot (US Version 1)

The Teletubbies slide down the slide inside Home Hill. They enjoy Tubby Toast until the Magic Windmill spins. Following this, the characters watch some children learning about the number 2. A magical flower cloud appears in Teletubbyland. It rains magic flowers on Tinky-Winky, Laa-Laa's ball, Po's scooter and Dipsy's hat. But Dipsy doesn't like it, so he runs away. After that, the Teletubbies do the Splashing Dance before Tubby Bye Bye.

Featuring: The Children at Treasure Island School, Florida
