What he said; like The Magic Roundabout, Teletubbies appears to operate
on several levels, not all of them consistent or comprehensible. :-)

I only got to see one episode when in Britain during Spring Break, but
what I saw was bizarre, baffling, and not a little surreal!  Surely the
writers are on acid?  (Let us hope, anyway.)

Btw, I hear Teletubbies are coming to PBS, which is probably why
Letterman was doing the skit.

Cheers,

Paul.
