Well, being a Teletubbie conniseur (I have a 2 1/2 year old, this is what I know:
Have you ever wondered at the slight coloring differences in their faces? I read an article in the USA TOday way back when the Teletubbies first came to the US, and Dipsy is supposed to emulate a Black Tubby, and Po is supposed to be Asian, and I can't remember what Tinky Winky and Laa Laa are supposed to be.
They are NOT sexless creatures. Tinky Winky and Dipsy are male (they are first in the line up incidentally) and Laa Laa and Po are girls. They refer to each respectively as him and her.
Tinky Winky IS suspect. He carries around a red purse (not only seemingly gay, but a poor fashion choice, since TW is purple).
That's about all I know. I was personally perturbed by the baby in the sun the first time I saw it. My daughter likes them, but not as much anymore. She discovered Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clue's, her shows of choice nowadays.
