Laa-Laa enjoys counting the rabbits in the book. Afterwards, the Magic Windmill spins, and Laa-Laa joins the other Teletubbies as they go watching The Three Ships before the Magic Windmill stops spinning for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Trivia[]

  • Laa-Laa was the boo shouter.
  • Dipsy was the missing Teletubby.
  • Tinky Winky is picked for the TV Event.
  • At the beginning of this episode, there's a rare opening shot. This is the opening shot of Field 10.
  • This episode reuse the opening segment from Café Chocolate. The difference is the segment is mirrored, after Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa run away, the footage is then reversed and they walk backwards down the hill, and then the camera cuts to the Windmill spinning for the Numbers - 3 video.
  • This is the first episode where the Teletubbies giggle during the Walking Dance. However, some of the giggling is not heard. The Teletubbies would start giggling during the whole dance in its next appearance, Animals - Fish.
  • The US Version has The Falling Down Dance (with a rare windmill clip) at the start instead of The Walking Dance at the end.
  • This is one of two episodes to feature the first version of The Walking Dance, the other episode was See-Saw.
