Does anybody remember the show “Teletubbies”?
I honestly enjoyed it when I was little on ABC Kids. In fact, I am a fan of the show. I thought it was similar to Animaniacs so that’s how I got into it.
However, one lost episode exists. It just haunts me whenever I mind my own business.
It was a sunny day, and I was sitting at a table having a sandwich. After having it, I thought I might find another missing DVD buried around my yard.
I grabbed my dad’s metal detector and it alerted me once I hovered it near my cats’ shed. I grabbed a shovel and beneath the ground was another cardboard box.
I took the box in and opened it up with scissors. Inside the box was a Teletubbies DVD. It was “All Together Teletubbies playful pals and delightful days”.
I was surprised to find a rare DVD nobody knew of, so I decided to watch it.
Before I put the DVD in, I noticed a very unnerving episode title for a pre-schooler’s show; “Guns”.
Why would they use a very mature episode title for a show for children aged 1-5?
However, I reassured myself the episode would just have toy guns.
When my parents came home, my mum approved of me finding the DVD.
On one rainy day, my parents were at work and my older sister was spending time with her best friend.
At that moment, I realized I should watch the new DVD I found. I inserted the DVD and the Warning Screen, ABC DVD ident and ABC for Kids Ident were normal.
It then took me to the menu. It consisted of the Teletubbies in a pink background.
The four episodes on the DVD were: Yoga, Naughty Soap, Apple Pie and Guns.
I hit “Play All” and I enjoyed the first three episodes.
Oh boy, the last episode was entirely messed up.
After watching the first three episodes, there was a warning:
“This episode demands parents to prohibit their children from seeing this episode as it contains graphic imagery, disturbing content and sudden sounds. Viewer discretion is advised.”
“This is bad…” I told myself. I saw the other lost episodes for Teletubbies and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
The episode started with the intro. However, the sky was all blood-red. Also, the voice trumpet said “Time For Teletubbies…” in a demonic monotone.
“What is going on?” I said, worrying for a bit.
At that moment, the teletubbies emerged behind the tubby house. It even flew towards two children from the UK.
Instead of looking afraid of the blood-red sky, they were still excited to see the tubby house.
The Tubby House then flew to Australia, but the Australian Children also didn’t mind the blood-red sky.
After departing Sydney, the Tubby House landed in a green hill. But for some reason, blood splattered as it did.
I gasped. “What the hell just happened?” I said to myself.
All of the white in the tubbyland was all red, supposedly meant to represent blood.
I was starting to feel very uneasy and nauseous. But I carried on with the episode.
It then zoomed into the tubby house and showed the Teletubbies sleeping in their beds. Everything was normal.
After the Teletubbies went to the dance zone as they ran around, the child narrator mentioned, “Robert”.
I was confused. “Who is this Robert?” I wondered.
Just then, a blue Teletubby with a square antenna flew into the shot and ran up to the screen and stared at the camera.
“I’m guessing this is Robert…” I told myself.
Robert stared at the screen uncomfortably, I got chills down my spine.
Just then, Robert then walked away from the camera and performed one of the warm-up dances. The four Teletubbies joined Robert.
As soon as the Teletubbies danced too fast, the rainbow wave washed in front of them. However, after the rainbow wave disappeared, the background of the tubbyland was all dark-red.
The five Teletubbies then sucked their heads in and fran away from tubbyland.
However, Robert, on the other hand, didn’t join the Teletubbies to run away from teletubbyland.
I carried on onto the present-giving segment.
The children delivered the present as normal. The present was in a medium-size, but not too big.
When the present went up into the sky, the present was… mother of God… a M1911.
Just then, the child narrator read the Storypeople’s names in order as normal and it cut to the Storyworld segment.
The M1911 then was put on the grass on the fields.
Just then, the “somebody’s coming” theme played, but it was in reverse.
“Somebody’s coming.” The Narrator said.
“It’s a M1911.” The storyworld Narrator said.
Just then, a Brother and a Sister appeared on opposite sides. They then noticed the pistols.
The Brother then picked up the M1911 and examined it. He was confused about what it is.
He tried using the pistol for what it is meant to do. But just then, he pulled the trigger and shot it into a distance, narrowly avoiding his Sister.
The Brother seemed interested in the M1911 and thought it might be a toy.
The Sister was disappointed she didn’t have a pistol.
“Sister doesn’t have a pistol.” Said the narrator.
There was a sound of a child blowing, and the Sister was given a Berreta 92.
"It's a Berreta 92." Said the narrator.
The Sister was glad she was given a Berreta 92. She even decided to try it out as well.
The Sister then pointed the said pistol to her Brother’s leg, trying to check how the gun works. However, she suddenly pulled the trigger and shot it straight into her own Brother’s leg.
The Brother then fell to the ground and held his injured leg in pain.
“Ow! What was that for, Sister?” The Brother said.
“Oh my god! I’m so sorry, brother!” The little Sister shouted in shock. “I would never hurt my own brother!”
“You both have to get rid of those things, they’re too dangerous to be kept.” The narrator advised.
the Brother and his Sister tried stomping on the pistols while the narrator spoke, but suddenly, the Brother’s M1911 was pointing diagonally up towards his Sister, and he accidentally shot his own Sister without once he stomped on it.
the Sister held her chest in pain. Once she moved her hand away, there was a small wound.
“Oh... my… god…” I croaked. I was shocked to see a realistic wound on a character from a children’s television series.
the Sister then collapsed to the ground, losing her breath.
“Sister! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” the Brother screamed.
Brother then held his now-deceased sister in his arms and cried softly. In fact, his sobbing sounded very… real. It didn’t sound very comical unlike usual cartoons.
“Brother is now depressed” The narrator moaned.
the Brother continued crying. He never wanted to hurt or harm his sister, even by accident, but he realized the one thing to avenge his sister is meet her in the afterlife.
Brother, still in tears, picked up Sister’s Berreta 92 and pointed it to his mouth.
“I’m… sorry…” Brother said.
He pulled the trigger and he finally shot himself.
“Goodbye.” The Narrator said sadly.
Before we cut to the final Teletubbies segment, the children were crying other than laughing, obviously because the Storyworld segment was very depressing and off-the-scale.
It finally cut to the Teletubbies again, with the fifth member. This time, Robert is leading the dance.
He were dancing commonly in the middle, while the Teletubbiess followed him.
Robert performed lots of silly and goofy dances.
However, as soon as the dance was almost over, Robert walked towards Tinky Winky. Tinky Winky got concerned about what Robert was going to do to them.
At that moment, Robert pulled out a hatchet and threw it in Tinky Winky’s forehead.
Tinky Winky screeched as he slowly died.
Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po stared in shock seeing their brother die.
Robert then slowly turned to the three Teletubbies, as his eyes turned red.
The three Teletubbies ran away from Robert, who turned out to be a hypocritical Teletubby exterminator.
Po ran away, and Robert followed her.
Robert gained onto Po, until the former grabbed the latter by the legs. Robert summoned a throwing knife and stabbed Po in the back of the leg, killing the latter.
Po fell to her doom as the throwing knife was stuck to the back of her own leg.
Laa-Laa was trying to break through the walls of the tubby house to escape and find a safer place to live, but Robert suddenly flew up to her and used a flamethrower on Laa-Laa to burn her alive.
Laa-Laa now has soot all over her and she fell to the ground, dying.
Dipsy was the last Teletubby remaining. He had the best hiding place, which is hiding behind the largest door they could find.
Just then Robert teleported in front of him and held him in the air by the throat.
Robert finally spoke, unlike any of the main Teletubbies. "You four Teletubbies mean nothing to me. I was hired by the planet eliminator to exterminate you. I’m sorry, but things must be the way they have to be. Good riddance."
Robert’s eyes glowed red and white, and he used heat-vision on Dipsy’s eyes.
Robert then let go of the now-dead Dipsy, leaving them to drop on the ground.
All of the Teletubbies had died. Why would Robert kill such innocent creatures?
Just then, the rainbow wave then washed over Robert, and the same narrator saying “Time For Tubby Bye Bye…”. I got chills again.
Robert then flew into the rainbow and hijacked it. As soon as the energy came back in the rainbow, it flew high into the sky, leaving a rainbow trail.
The credits then played as normal, but there was no music, just the sound of the ocean. I felt very unnerved I gritted my teeth in concern.
After the credits, the Ragdoll logo played. However, the background was red, and there was a loud screeching sound when the logo’s mouth was drawn.
I cringed at the choice of the screeching sound. What the hell is going on?
Just then, the red-tinted ABC DVD logo played. But when the DVD logo flew in, I heard a woman shrieking. The shriek scared the living crap out of me.
It then cut to the DVD menu. I ejected the disc in disbelief.
I called my mum about the DVD being messed up. I showed her the evidence and she believed me.
We phoned ABC DVD and Ragdoll, and the reasons were pretty much the same as the lost episodes of Teletubbies.
I asked Mum what we should do with it, and she suggested to bury it.
I didn’t sleep for the entire week. I thought about the episode every night, and it keeps haunting me.
I believe that the maker of the episode is the same man who produced those lost Teletubbies episodes.
You should always think before you watch a lost DVD you find underground. Take my advice…
