Tinky Winky Tinky Winky
Tinky Winky   Dipsy    Laa-Laa    Po    Back
Nickname:Clumsy Tubb
Favorite Thing: Handbag
Played by: Dave Thompson and Simon Shelton

The biggest Teletubby. Tinky Winky's a gentle, good natured chap, even by Teletubby standards. Tinks added to the flood of controversy the 'tubbies caused by being seen with a big red handbag which lead to all sorts of discussion and even letters to the press. More than just a fashion accesory, his handbag is multi-functional and apparently contains sound recording equipment as he and the others have sung into it
    Tinky Winky loves dancing. However, he's a bit clumsy and is always falling over. His dancing skills aren't a patch on Dipsy's, but he doesn't let this bother him.
    Tinky Winky was originally played by Dave Thompson who was sacked last year and replaced by Simon Shelton. This led The Sun to launch a 'Save Tinky Winky' campaign. The stickers given out for this can still be seen in car windows.
