* BilingualBonus: Po actually speaks Cantonese, a dialect of the Chinese language, at least in the original BBC broadcasts. This is most noticeable when she's riding her scooter (''fi-dit'' and ''mon'' means ''fast'' and ''slow'' in Cantonese respectively). She has also been heard to count to three in Cantonese (''yap'', ''yi'' and ''sahm'' means ''one'', ''two'' and ''three'' in Cantonese respectively). ''Po'' also means the action ''to hug'' in several Chinese dialects.

Trash The Set is when it's done on-camera


* TrashTheSet: Teletubbyland was built on the spot of a farmer's field in Warwickshire, who only allowed them to use the spot for a certain amount of time, so when that time was up, the producers had to dismantle the set quick, fast, and in a hurry. This may, or may not, explain why in later episodes, newly created footage simply featured the Teletubbies in blank, solid-colored screens. Even after the set was taken down, so many curious tourists trespassed on his property to see where it was set up that the farmer eventually ''flooded the entire area'' to deter any further intrusions.

These four playful, cuddly, and giggly characters live in an astroturf paradise, surrounded by shower-head looking loudspeaker systems that rise from the ground, are surrounded by rabbits, and live with a robot vacuum cleaner called 'Noo Noo'. Their only sustenance is toast and pink custard, and they all speak in baby talk. They have magical television screens on their stomachs, which receive signals from real children via their windmill transmitter when one of them picks up a broadcast via the antennae on their heads. [[TheFaceOfTheSun And the sun is a baby's head.]]

* TheHyena: Almost everyone, especially TheFaceOfTheSun. Noo Noo and the narrator are the exceptions, since Noo Noo can't talk, and the narrator only tells the story that happens in each episode.

* TokenMinority: WordOfGod is that Dipsy is black and Po is Chinese. If you look closely, Dipsy's skin (fur?) color is actually slightly darker than all the rest. It was a stunt actor allusion as well: Dipsy and Po's actors are black and Chinese in RealLife as well.
