11th March 2010, 12:35 PM #5 I can't believe it, I was talking to someone about that picture only an hour ago... we both wondered where it is and whether it might possibly be the most viewed picture in the world.
What a coincidence!

The Teletubbies Kids programme is filmed on a farmland just southwest of Wimpstone village, near Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire.... so I'm guessing its real....
but for now... looks like they made it to California for a holiday.

We were taking it in turns to drive - and at this particular moment in time, I was having a 'rest', spread out across the 2 passenger seats.
My mate is a very keen photographer himself, and was quite excited at the prospect of driving through Tuscanny on our way through to Rome.
All of a sudden, without warning, on a quiet country road in Tuscanny, the van lurched to the side of the road, then came to an almighty stop, launching me into the glove compartment and then onto the floor (OK, I was properly belted in
)
Awoken so abruptly from my little nap, it became apparent my mate had pulled up to take a picture of a tree, on top of a hill.
And it never was a very good picture!!
