You just never know what you`re going to be faced with when that package arrives from Reviewer Towers. Guess they`d know if no one else, eh?Д¬onclusion The Beeb have put some thought into this release, right from the bright shiny shiny gold artwork design, which near blinded me when it caught a piece of the sun, but hey that`s the danger of being a DVD reviewer. A two disc set, this collection brings together the ten best episodes across the years as voted for by Mother And Baby magazine.

The BBC have, in their wisdom, decided to celebrate this anniversary of possibly their most commercially successful childrens programme with a special anniversary DVD release. They even conquered the charts in 1997 with a number 1 hit of Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh. That Tinky Winky, eh? Always trying to start somethingвЂ¦ Neither of these incidents or the News Of The World expose of one of the people in the suits (as I dimly recall, my mind may be playing tricks on me though), has even come close to denting the popularity of the show though. Actually it supposedly was saying `Again, again` which may well sound like the reported quote if you listen hard enough to sampled speech through cheap tiny tinny speakers and have an active adult imagination. A year later, a childrens Tinky Winky toy was reported as saying `I`ve got a gun`, which you would have thought would have gone down well with the NRA and their ilk, but no. I didn`t know that, but then I`m not obsessed with finding strange links like that. The reasoning? The colour purple is the colour apparently adopted by Gay Pride and his triangular antenna is the same shape as their emblem/logo. Evangelist Jerry Falwell decided it was his duty to warn parents that Tinky Winky could be a hidden homosexual symbol. There`s been the furore in the US Bible belt over Tinky Winky`s handbag in 1999.

Despite, or maybe simply because, of its popularity amongst parents and toddlers alike, Teletubbies has not been without its controversies over the years. Too long for the latter in my humble, but that`s for another day. I saw it mentioned on political programme this week when discussing the ten year reign of New Labour. Has it really been ten years since the Teletubbies first hit the screen? Apparently.
