The Teletubbies are coming back to television this year, but viewers that remember the original series that aired on BBC for four seasons should not be all that worried that the new series will change things drastically.
Yes, there will be some new additions to keep with the change of the times, but Daniel Rigby, the narrator for the new series, spoke with Digital Spy about the new series, and he tried to ease the worries of Teletubbies fans with his comments.
"It's a big deal - you don't want to disappoint people. I think with institutions like the Teletubbies, that go back for years, people associate with their childhoods, so they get very protective of that world. "I believe that the changes that have been made, they're all changes that enhance - they're not in any way disrespectful to the Teletubbies!"

Jess waved goodbye to the role she played as a baby in the 1990s by passing on the torch to Berry.
"When I was growing up I was always so proud of my involvement in Teletubbies," she said. "Having met baby Berry and seeing how adorable she is I can't think of anyone better to take over the role."
Teletubbies producer Maddy Darrall said of Berry's casting: "As soon as we met baby Berry, we knew she was our perfect Sun Baby. A lot of babies smile but Berry is a unique giggly smiler who we know will make our tv audience smile too.
