Trivia[]
- The Four Happy Teletubbies segment in this episode is similar to the opening segment from Jumping and the main segment from Numbers - 2, but it's in a different location and there's more in this segment.
- In Numbers - 2, Laa-Laa plays Peek-a-Boo, but then, Tinky Winky runs over to her and yells "Boo!", surprising her. The two then laugh before having a Big Hug.
- This episode reuses the opening segment from Balancing, the only differences are the music and it includes the Teletubbies watching the windmill spin, in Balancing, it cuts to the Sun Baby before the Teletubbies do The Running Away Dance.
- Another difference is that in this episode, there is no dance.
- Tinky Winky was the boo shouter.
- Po was the missing Teletubby.
- This is the first episode from Season 2 in the UK airing.
- This is also the first ever episode directed by Andrew Davenport.
- The "boo" sound Tinky Winky makes in the "Four Happy Teletubbies" segment is the exact same recording from the Tubby Bye-Bye sequence whenever Dipsy or Po was the boo shouter.
