Over the hills and far away, the Teletubbies can no longer come to play because the woman who owns Teletubbie Land has turned it in to a giant pond.

It seems as though Rosemary Harding was fed up with tourists traipsing across her farm in Wimpstone, Warwickshire just to catch a glimpse of the hill house where Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po were filmed back in the day.

The BAFTA-winning series was hugely popular in its time, so it's no surprise that tourists wanted to see the magic windmill, windows and flowers. However, they were removed when the show was axed, leaving just a bare grassy slope behind.

That didn't put devout Teletubbie fans off though, and Harding said she felt she had no choice but to flood it on order to rid herself of the unwanted visitors. "People were jumping fences and crossing cattle fields," the 63 year old told The Sunday People. "We're glad to see the back of it."

Time for Tubbie bye bye indeed. Guess we'll just have to hold on to the memories of that time Simon Cowell made them successful popstars. Even One Direction would have been shaking in fear, y'know, if they hadn't been most likely sitting in front of the telly sucking their thumbs at the time...
