Plot[]

UK Version[]

Po comes into the house on her scooter and brings the other Teletubbies along with her. The Teletubbies watch some children learn about the number 4. In Teletubbyland, a giant inflatable number 4 appears from far away, making all of the Teletubbies fall over from surprise. A voice trumpet sings: "1, 2, 3, 4, sing a song of 4". The Teletubbies run away from the giant number 4. They spot four clouds, four flowers, and four rabbits. The giant 4 appears, and the voice trumpet sings making the Teletubbies run away, four running Teletubbies. The giant 4 disappears, and the Magic Windmill stops spinning for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Trivia[]

Laa-Laa was the boo shouter in both versions.
Dipsy was the missing Teletubby in the UK Version. Tinky Winky was the missing Teletubby in the US Version.
This is the first episode to use the late 1997-mid-1998 costume design of Tinky Winky.
- This is also the first episode where the Narrator says "Something appeared from far away" and the object appears while at least one Teletubby is on screen.
The US Version has the Magic House. It also shows the sun giggling for Tubby Bye-Bye as the windmill was spinning for the Magic Event.
In the UK Version, Tinky Winky is picked for the TV Event but in the US Version, Po is picked.
In the US version, there’s the Tubby Conga segment, which was used for the first time in the UK version of Painting with Hands and Feet.
The extended version of the clip with the diggers seen in the US version uses a different take.
When the giant inflatable number 4 disappears before it's time for Tubby Bye-Bye, the stop spinning sounds plays early, and when the Teletubbies look at the Magic Windmill, the first 5 seconds of the stop spinning animation was cut off to make it look like it was the slow version of the start spinning animation.

Goofs[]

When we see a close up of the Voice Trumpet rising up, it is actually footage of the 4th Voice Trumpet rising up to sing the 4 Song which happened later on in the segment.

Upcoming Footage of the segment accidently used already.
