In March 1997 the BBC launched one of the most successful children's TV programmes ever. Teletubbies was aimed at toddlers and became controversial for its use of playful language - the BBC fielded complaints from parents who feared that the 'gibberish' language used would stop their children from learning how to speak properly.

Claire Bowes speaks to original cast member Pui Lee Fan, who played red Teletubby Po.
