Shaking and Beating

Plot (US Original PBS Version)

The Teletubbies Everywhere segment features Dipsy counting to 4, Po learning about the color blue, Tinky Winky making a triangle, Laa Laa marching, and Po receiving a video that shows 2 children from Taiwan making lots of different sounds by banging and shaking. In Teletubbyland, Po was going out for some exercise when a beautiful bluebell magically appears from far away. She showed it to Laa Laa and then 3 more appear. They both showed the bluebells to Dipsy and Tinky Winky. Moments later, all of Teletubbyland started filling with lots of bluebells. Dipsy goes for a walk between the bluebells, Laa Laa dances through the bluebells, Tinky Winky smelled the bluebells, and Po sings a bluebell song. After a while later, all the bluebells disappeared and they all say "All Gone!". Afterwards, the Teletubbies do the shortened version of The Running Away Dance a few blocks away from the Tubbytronic Superdome (same version from the UK Version of Becky and Jed Finding Eggs) before the camera cuts to the sun screaming in excitement for Tubby Bye-Bye.

In Teletubbyland, inside the Home Dome, Po dabs bits of Tubby Custard onto her right hand, and she decided to decorate the enitre dome with lots of beautiful hand prints dosed in Tubby Custard. She puts some hand prints around the Tubby Toaster, the Tubby table, the front doors, and the steps of the Control Panel. By the time Po had finished decorating the Tubbytronic Superdome, she heard Laa Laa, Dipsy and Tinky Winky coming back. Po soon showed them her lovely hand print decorations just before the Noo Noo cleaned up all the hand prints. Naughty Noo Noo! Afterwards, Po runs out the front doors with Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa Laa to watch The Animal Parade march through Teletubbyland (same version from the PBS Original Version of Crawling), and then they all do the shortened version of The Running Away Dance a few blocks away from the Tubbytronic Superdome (same version from the UK Version of Becky and Jed Finding Eggs) before the camera cuts to the sun screaming in excitement for Tubby Bye-Bye.

They all copied those same animal sounds and they all excitedly fell over laughing.
