Tinky Winky: My Story

The Teletubbies is the most popular children’s show ever made and is beloved by new generations and streamed worldwide. But what was it really like inside Teletubbyland?

In this candid, behind-the-scenes documentary, the original Tinky Winky, comedian Dave Thompson, shares his extraordinary story.

From the surreal realities of performing in one of television’s most recognisable roles to the internal tensions that shaped the show’s legacy, followed by an unfiltered live Q&A with Dave Thompson and director Joe Bor.

This is your chance to ask the questions you’ve always wanted answered about the strange magic of Teletubbyland — including
what really happened to the rabbits.

What people are saying...

Thank you for caring and being just lovely. Everyone I spoke to was just so friendly and helpful. It made a difference to my day and now I am familiar with the place, I will be back… Maybe with friends, but more confidently comfortable solo.

Just to say many, many thanks for your accommodations and accessible service. It really made a difference to me to know that the seating would be reserved and meet my needs and that there was no need to feel worried about it. The chosen seating was also suitable for my mobility needs which was very appreciated. So, just to say thanks. It really made a difference to my whole experience.

The comedy itself was incredible and we were cackling the entire time! This was my first night out of the house in months, thank you so very much for making it so joyful and comfortable. You are all brilliant!!!!!
