Plot[]

UK Version[]

The Teletubbies pop up from some hills and shout: “Boo!” Then, The Magic Windmill spins, and they watch some children learn about the number 6. Afterwards, Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa get their knees dirty and get fun getting them clean until Po comes in all dirty. Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa try washing her, but she doesn't want to, so everybody chases Po around the house until she gets her tubby sponge. All the Teletubbies wash Po while a voice trumpet recites the Tubby Wash song. Po is all clean now. Then, The Magic Windmill stops spinning (offscreen), and it is time for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Featuring: The Children of Duncombe School, London

US Version[]

The Teletubbies pop over the hill one by one to say: "Eh-Oh!" before running off to watch some children learning about the number 6. Later, inside the Home Hill, Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa get out their Tubby Sponges and washed their knees. By the time Tinky Winky finished cleaning his knees, Po arrived, but the other Teletubbies were surprised when they saw that she was dirty all over. Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa try to wash Po, but she does not want to be washed. So they chase Po around the control panel until she gets out her Tubby Sponge. The Teletubbies can now successfully wash Po. She is now all clean! Afterwards, the Magic Windmill starts to spin outside, and the Teletubbies put their Tubby Sponges back in the cases and rush out to watch The Tap Dancing Teddy Bear dancing once before the Magic Windmill stops spinning for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Goofs[]

In the extended version of the diggers clip seen in the US version, when the backhoe loaders leave, the second and third ones try to leave at the same time, thus causing them to nearly collide before the middle one lets the one on the right-hand side go first and then leaves, briefly stopping as it moves out of frame.
