	Anne Wood is founder and creative director of Ragdoll Productions (UK) Ltd. Andy Davenport is co-creator and scriptwriter of Teletubbies. He is writer of Tots TV and Tiny's puppeteer, as well as being writer and line producer for Brum. On what basis did you compile your list of phrases commonly said by children? Why have the Teletubbies got such strange names? I am interested in working in television production and would like some advice. Why haven't the Teletubbies got a dog? How old are the Teletubbies? Will they ever age? What did you like doing when you were young? Did you watch TV? Why do you teach little kids 'Eh-oh!' instead of proper English like 'Hello'? How do you select the children who are featured in the programmes? Why are the Teletubbies so appealing to people of all ages from 18 months to about 60 years? Why are the Teletubbies purple, green, yellow and red? Do you think the Teletubbies help young children? Is it educational? Why? How did you think of the idea for the Teletubbies? What do you think of modern technology? Is it harmful or neutral? Do you watch children watching your programme? Which other children's programmes do you enjoy and why? How do you test the programmes and what are your plans for the future? What has influenced the making of Teletubbies? Was it 'The Clangers'?
