A fantastically fun way to make Tubby Custard – it can get very messy!
The ride is a Teletubbies version of the traditional teacup fairground ride. Not only does it have lights, music and spinning chairs, but to the delight of the show’s young audience, it also blows out big, pink, messy bubbles of Tubby custard. By the end, the Tubby Custard Ride is full of yummy Tubby Custard.
When the Narrator or Voice Trumpets announce that it’s time for Tubby Custard, the Teletubbies form a line behind the Tubby Custard Ride. Next, a big pink custard bubble emerges from the funnel of the custard machine and the ride begins!
Music plays, lights flash and the ride chugs and wends its way around the Dome. Safely seat-belted into their chairs, the Teletubbies giggle and spin as their seats follow the trail of the Custard Machine. By the end, the Tubby Custard Ride is full of yummy, pink Tubby Custard.
As a brand new element, the Tubby Phone is a smartphone with a touch screen and a typical ring which can be heard by the Teletubbies, even when they’re playing outside.
When it rings, the Tubby Phone vibrates and its screen flashes with the Teletubbies’ colors, with one color predominately flashing each time. This results in an exciting race and game for the Teletubbies to see if the right Teletubby answers at the right time! Once the Tubby Phone is answered, the chosen Teletubby awaits instruction and then leads the others in a merry, musical dance!
