Say “eh-oh” to Nikky Smedley, AKA the original Laa-Laa (the yellow one) from the Teletubbies. She’s spilling the custard on all the goings-on in the Tubbytronic Superdome. How heavy were the suits? Why did it become such a phenomenon? And what on earth was a Noo-Noo?

Fresh from sell-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe, Confessions of a Teletubby lifts the lid on what went on behind the scenes of one of the most globally successful TV shows ever.
Nikky Smedley played LaaLaa (the yellow one) in the original series of Teletubbies for six years - that’s a lot of custard for a grown woman to get excited about.
