AAC - it's just your dirty mind... *cough* That script was done for a joke one Christmas (1977, IIRC), although the actual show was full of innuendo if you wanted to look for it (and in kids TV, you always do...).

Let's face it, this is the country that upset right-wing Christian groups (slogan: putting the 'mental' in 'fundamentalist') in the US by having a purple, handbag-carrying Teletubby with a triangle on his head (apparently something to do with gay pride). You should see some of the more outré theories circulating about (amongst others) the Moomins, Mr Benn and the Magic Roundabout.

In the modern world the Teletubbies have more conspiracy theories than most - my favourite is that it's firmly rooted in drug culture. Let's face it, they talk in a way no-one can understand, like pink dust from a windmill (obviously a reference to Amsterdam), get the munchies on a monotonous basis (and it's whatever comes to hand), and like to dance in the flowers. As for what the Noo-Noo is sniffing, I'll leave that to your imagination... As a clincher - where else do you see people staring at their stomachs and giggling?

Sorry to bug you again PSD, all good points about the Teletubbies, but what are people saying about the poor old Moomins? Okay, bit of a childhood sacred memory about to be demolished in asking.

Its like hearing a conspiracy about the Famous Five being heroin smugglers, or something similarly totemic. :-)

Allegedly Moominpappa may have been 'doing' the Snorkmaiden, according to Skiffle's rather groovy book....

I'm willing to accept that the Snork Maiden had the advantage of a fluffy fringe in the looks department, but no way would Moominpappa have gone for such a flibbertigibbet! He would've been lost in his moodswings without Moominmama's timely interventions and capacious handbag. :-)

The Mr Benn website is, well... the only thing it doesn't seem to cover is an alien abduction syndrome. Has anyone managed to get a degree out of the subject matter? It seems to beg some spawny git getting way with it.

All good fun though.

The first (and only) time I ever watched an episode of the Teletubbies, I thought that Tellytubby land had a rather sinister 'Prisoner-ish' feel to it. Maybe they should use it for the next location of 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here'. It must be more mentally disturbing than living in the Australian bush

Sarah/Dave,

Got anything for Dawn in yet - 30D iirc?

Well, there's the Gossard Superboost II satin push-up bra (style number 7950). It's available in white, black or cappuccino, £23, full refund if not delighted. There are other styles available too, but since the site is still in a state of flux they're not all appearing just yet. We'll let you know as soon as the site is updated.

There should be a much greater choice available very soon, as Panache are about to expand the size range of many styles in their popular Superbra range down to a D cup. Watch this space, as they say!
