The Protest Of The Teletubbies

Teletubbies was one of the most unique early childhood shows there was in the 1990s. The weird, colorful creatures worshipped a baby in the sun. The company rented land in Warwickshire, England from a farmer who dug out a bowl-like dip in the land for the show. Ironically, another show that had previously filmed in the area nearly ruined it for the Teletubbies.

When the locals of Warwickshire heard about another show coming to take over their town, they were furious. Anne Wood, the series creator, wasn’t aware of the other show and was surprised by protests. She had to make every effort imaginable to keep the peace, including keeping the filming location a secret and hiring a security team to keep the media away.
