Yellow Cow is the 32nd episode of the original series. It first aired on 13th May 1997.

Plot[]

The Teletubbies have Tubby Toast and the Tubby Toaster makes an extra piece, which Noo Noo tidies up. The Teletubbies then watch Tamzin Griffin pretend to be Funny Lady telling the story of a Naughty Yellow Cow. A voice trumpet appears and recites the nursery rhyme 'Ride A Cock Horse'. Laa-Laa joins in the rhyme and then she bumps into Dipsy. She and Dipsy do this again and bump into Tinky Winky and Po who are also joining in. They all do the nursery rhyme again and fall over. The Magic Windmill spins and the Tap Dancing Teddy Bear appears in Teletubbyland. The Magic Windmill stops spinning before Tubby Bye-Bye.

Featuring: Tamzin Griffin, The Children of Chater Infants School, Watford

  • Footage from The Ride a Cock Horse segment was later reused for The Sprout Diner episode, Teletubbies' Tubby Sunshine Toast, but are new audio recordings added in, like 'Hungry! Hungry!'.

  • This is the first episode where Noo-Noo is being naughty and the first episode with the Chasing Around the House gag.
  • The first segment was later reused in Dirty Dog, but mixed with the opening to the Time for Tubby Toast segment from Ned's Bicycle.
  • This is the first time Funny Lady says "Again, Again!"
  • This is the first episode with the 'VROOOOOOM' sound that would be used when the tubbies and often the Noo Noo run around the controls and the slide.
  • From this episode onwards to Sparkly Spider, all of the Funny Lady TV Events are now only played once.
  • The German version of this episode is called "Singing with Robert: Ready" and features a much different TV receiver video.
  • Part of the Sun's giggling is drowned out by the Magical Event theme later on in the episode.
