Plot (UK Original Version)[]
Inside the Tubbytronic Superdome, Po is asked to look after Laa Laa's ball, Dipsy's hat, and Tinky Winky's bag while they are going for an outdoor walk. When they came back into the dome to pick them up, Po had forgotten which favorite thing belongs to whom. So they tell her which favorite thing they simply love the most and she gives them back their favorite things. Afterwards, the Magic Windmill started to spin once again, and this time Po runs out the front doors with Laa Laa, Dipsy and Tinky Winky to watch a group of children shining a light on a blanket and they start to make lots of different shadows. Afterwards, the Teletubbies do the shortened version of The Walking Dance all across the flat hill paths before the camera cuts to the Voice Trumpet rising for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Po, Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa Laa do the shortened version of The Twisty Dance across from the hill paths (same version from the UK Version of Little Baby) before they watch a group of children shining a light on a blanket and they start to make lots of different shadows. Meanwhile inside the Tubbytronic Superdome, Po decides to play a hiding game. She hides behind the Tubby Toaster and then Laa Laa, Dipsy and Tinky Winky all went to hide with her. The Noo Noo did not see the Teletubbies, but what he can see was their favorite things, and he simply cleaned them up one by one. Naughty Noo Noo! The Teletubbies then happily chase him around the Superdome just before they all ran outside for Tubby Bye Bye.

Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa Laa go running along the hills and Po pops up to say 'Boo!' and 'Eh Oh!' before she runs off with them to watch a group of children shining a light on a blanket and they start to make lots of different shadows. Meanwhile, Po, Laa Laa, Dipsy and Tinky Winky go on a long walk through Teletubbyland. While they were walking, Po finds her scooter and wants to go for a ride on it, but Laa Laa, Dipsy and Tinky Winky want her to keep walking with them. They harshly started to pull Po the other way and they all fell down in the process. They all decided to leave Po behind so that she can ride on her scooter. More into their long journey, Laa Laa saw her ball and wants to bounce it around, but Dipsy and Tinky Winky wanted her to walk the rest of the way with them. They both pulled on Laa Laa's arm too hard, causing them to all fall down. Both Dipsy and Tinky Winky left Laa Laa so that she keep on playing with her ball. A little futher on, Dipsy finds his hat and wants to wear it, but Tinky Winky wants him to keep walking. He started pulling Dipsy the other way and they both fall down. Tinky Winky leaves Dipsy to sing about his hat while he continued walking the rest of the way. He walked past the Talking Flowers, and the Rabbits, until he finally arrived back at the Superdome and went inside. Afterwards, Po, Laa Laa and Dipsy do the shortened version of The Calypso Dance with Tinky Winky near the front doors of the Tubbytronic Superdome (same version from the UK Version of Double Bass) before the Magic Windmill stops spinning for Tubby Bye Bye.
