- Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
how do you even get or apply for a job like that
For a laugh? Probably paid better than Sainsbury's too.
They are all people who studied drama/acting and often they appear outside of costume in other shows. Justin Fletcher being an example of one - he was a Tellytubbie as well. A girl I knew used to be in Zingzillas but does loads of stage work now.

Was Tinky Winky the purple one? Apparently he was gay 
A shame though, and it makes me feel old myself because it started way back in 1997.

Quite a few years ago, myself and a group of friends on holiday pretended that we were actors when chatting up girls... the twist was that they'd not recognise us because we were supposedly the tellytubbies!
Surprisingly it worked... so I've got the tellytubbies to thank partly for getting me laid with a Swedish girl and some girl from Essex all those years ago.

You must be bloody good looking if your main chat-up line consisted of pretending to be one of the teletubbies!
Trust an Essex girl to turn up in that story!RIP

Time for tubby bye bye
I have a two year old so I must have seen every episode he is in a trillion time over. Not many can claim to have made so many children happy, and given so many parents time to have breakfast!

A lot of costumed TV work like this usually involves being very fit. Stuntmen and martial artists tend to get a decent amount of work through such things.

At least they got free purple custard dessert free.
I worked on the set of Teletubbies, it was built in a field at Ilmington near Stratford on Avon & editing etc was done from a series of portacabins, the site was all top secret & only the local landowner knew what was going on, there was round the clock high security because of all the equipment
Wouldn't surprise me that the "site" didn't pop up on the internet by conspiracy theorists claiming a UFO crash landed there and they were performing experiments on them because of it's secrecy.
Failed Mod
Seriously though, RIP. I'm 52 now and spend more time thinking about my own mortality than I used to.
