I’ll go first, to set the tone:

    Were the Teletubbie as creepy to be around IRL (in full costume and character) as they were to watch? I was a bit old for the Teletubbies target audience range when it was out but I was still a kid and they gave me the heebie-jeebies.

      Haha I wish I could answer that but I wasn’t on the set itself.

      I don’t remember the context exactly as it’s been a while since I watched, but IIRC every episode they used to show learning activities that kids did as a “peek” into the IRL world, sometimes individually and sometimes as a group. Example: https://youtu.be/AgC1CFISch8?t=4m41s

      I was in one of the episodes where kids did some group activity. I don’t really remember it much though, I would have been less than 5 years old.

      I still haven’t managed to find which episode the one I was on; it should actually be sort of easy to find it for certain reasons but it’s… Teletubbies. I’m not arsed enough 😂
