The award-winning children’s TV show has been recharged for a new audience and will return to CBeebies later this year, with international rollout planned for 2016.

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po now have 21st Century touchscreen tummies that will broadcast live-action films, shot from a child’s perspective. Teletubbyland and Home Hill have also been visually enhanced to give the landscape a more natural feel.
