This is the last appearances of Mark Skirving and Danny McCormack.The scene with the Voice Trumpets making ticking sounds is the same shot from the intro.This is the only episode Mark Skirving wears a black double-breasted suit.This is the only episode to have the video segment filmed in the Chuckery School building.This is the last appearance of King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys and the Pupils of Chuckery Infant School.Also, the shot of Tinky-Winky and Po sharing a big hug at the end was replaced with a shot of Home Hill. However, the beginning of the scene where Tinky Winky and Po play Hickory Dickory Dock is shortened, with the scene of Po making adjustments on her own at the beginning removed. All the segments in this episode were featured in the VHS Nursery Rhymes.After that, Tinky Winky and Po bump bottoms and tummies while saying, "Hickory Dickory Dock!" Then the Magic Windmill starts to spin and the Teletubbies watch the Magic Tree before Tubby Bye-Bye.įeaturing: King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys, The Pupils of Chuckery Infants School, Walsall When the voice trumpet says 'The clock struck eight', Po pulls the lever eight times and Tinky Winky goes up and down the slide eight times. Tinky Winky pretends to be the mouse and goes up the slide, Po pulls a lever and a big bell rings, then Tinky Winky comes back down. Tinky Winky and Po laugh as they act out the nursery rhyme.
A voice trumpet appears and recites 'Hickory Dickory Dock'. Back in Teletubbyland, Po is making some adjustments and then Tinky Winky slides into the house. They watch some children dancing while King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys sing Hickory Dickory Dock. The Teletubbies run outside to see, then the Windmill starts spinning.
But who knows, if you go perhaps you’ll see if animals are still being employed by the cathedral.Five Voice Trumpets rise outside the house and they start making ticking noises. When this story was circulated and people understood the purpose of the cat door (and why it was needed in the first place), it reputedly brought rise to the nursery rhyme.ĭuring my visit to the cathedral, I didn’t notice any cats near the clock. So they built a cat door just below the clock, pictured to the left, in which one of the preacher’s cats could enter to scare away any rodents. However, while the design of the clock is fascinating, it is not the focus of the nursery rhyme.Īccording to an employee at the cathedral, in order to ensure that the clock would function, the clergy needed a method of keeping mice and rats from running up and down the clock ropes. It shows not only the hour, but also the age of the moon on any given day. The clock, explains the placard in front of it, dates back to the fifteenth century but was restored so that it still works today. One of the many noteworthy parts of the cathedral is its large astronomical clock. In the case of “Hickory, Dickory, Dock”, the rhyme expresses a part of history associated with a famous Devon site-the Exeter Cathedral. So nursery rhymes, like other forms of folklore, not only permeate throughout the culture from one generation to the next, they also serve as an expression of the history of that culture. One of the incredible things as adults, then, is the ability to contextualize these rhymes by learning more about where they came from. Yet they remain a part of our culture as we then go on to sing them to our own children. As kids, we sing many rhymes like this without knowing what they mean (I can’t remember what age I was when someone told me what Ring Around the Rosie was actually about). But most people-like me-probably never knew the origin of it. Growing up, most people have probably heard some version of this nursery rhyme.
