Jane Horrocks, Jim Broadbent
and Fearne Cotton are to provide voices for the new series of Teletubbies.
Absolutely Fabulous star
Horrocks will voice the "tubby phone" - a mobile-style gadget aimed
at bringing the revamped show into the modern day."
That's it... start the dumbing down process whilst they're young!

Poldark is to return for a
second series with Aidan Turner back in the lead role, the BBC has confirmed.
The period drama remake – a
ratings hit for the BBC has been re-commissioned for another eight episodes.
BBC One controller Charlotte
Moore said it had been "an outstanding start" to the year.
She said: "We aim to
maintain that momentum and continue to move with the times and bring audiences
a range of distinctive, high quality programmes that feel relevant and reflect
the diversity of modern Britain."
The series of historical novels by Winston Graham, set in the
latter part of the 18th century, and early 19th century
was originally made for TV 40 years ago, with Robin Ellis in the lead role.
No mobile phones in Poldark? No, but then it's just a good old-fashioned swashbuckling adventure, isn't it, like 'The Three Musketeers', 'Treasure Island', 'The Count of Monte Cristo', etc.?
If Dorothy has had a mobile phone she could have simply called Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and told them where she was, couldn't she? No point in yomping the yellow brick road either? All together now... follow the bouncing ball... "We're off to phone the Wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
