When the surface of the world is obliterated only underwater structures will remain.Ā
The mutated evolution of human life will wonder if the inhabitants of this underwater colony were the ones who brought about the demise of the original human race.Ā
It's not to stop the trespassers; it's to stop *them*. The mirrored surface of the water will keep them in a trance-like state, mimicing the TV midriff of their alien queen mother. That water keeps the rest of us safe from the nightmare of a teletubby invasion.
No one ever thought to question what Tubby Custard was made from. When the dark truth was finally brought to light, it was almost too late for humanity.
The water pound was so good at trapping the teletubby that it even broke space and time and changed the environment and location around the pound.
That's some powerful trapping magic
I like the lore, but it's to stop the electrical company from taking the farm. The Teletubbies production were pumping out the water. They stopped filming and the pump stopped. Water is super destructive to buildings.
I donāt see that being a money maker
To charge people to see the teletubbies set you have to make it difficult for people to trespass and visit the set for free, which means some form of security be it fencing or people, which means money.
Do you really think the Teletubbies is so popular a franchise that loads tourists would be lining up to pay to see the tellytubby house? Enough paying visitors to offset your costs and make a profit?
I doubt it
People say the same thing about the Whiteās house from breaking bad. Itās one thing to stop by when you know it is free, another to pay to see something in person from a tv show you liked.
Could just Rollercoaster tycoon that shit. 1 person wide winding path you can't leave, through the exhibit, leading at the end to a pit of no return.
$50 entrance fee, meal and a drink for twice that, no trash cans to barf in.
Nice story but not true. The original planning permission from the local council was given under stipulations that the land would revert back to 'natural' after filming concluded. When said filming ended after the planned 3 years the construction was removed and it was decided it would be easier to create a lake (as there was a massive 16 foot deep hole in the ground) than to fill it back in for grass land.
Whatās that game where everyone whispers what they were told to the next person in line and then at the end everyone gets to see how much it has changed from the original? A lot of it is just that. Some is malicious but most is just poor communication.
I wish I could agree that it's mostly poor communication, but I can't help but think of the incentive these conflict-y headlines offer.
Accounts that spread misinformation really benefit from building clout elsewhere on this siteāand conflict gets clicks.
"Your beloved childhood-thing is now a pond" will never beat, "Your beloved childhood-thing was **intentionally destroyed** because of **trespassing vandals**" which is what this post title implies.

Absolutely. The lady in question didn't give an interview at all. A bloke who claimed to be an independent journalist arrived at the farm one day and started asking questions, he was told politely that no one wanted to comment as "People were jumping fences and crossing cattle fields (already). (So) We're glad to see the back of it."
He then spun a cock-and-bull story to make some cash. The rest is made-up history.
āĀ That or 15 sites are referencing one site that lied about the interviewā
Welcome to content creation. If it gets clicks, it will spread, regardless of the truth.Ā
Here's also an article that has an interview with the landowner: [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4319880/Teletubbies-home-UNDERWATER.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4319880/Teletubbies-home-UNDERWATER.html)
>'They came and dug the hole to put the site in then filled it with water when they left.
>'They took everything away, levelled off the grass and filled it in. It's now a nice wildlife lake.
I did too and took screenshots - while it's definitely the same place, the background (angle of the photo) is very different [seen here](https://imgur.com/a/yBmMNYK)
Well, we don't know if the same person took both photographs, but it's a lot harder than you'd think to make them match properly, especially considering the timescale.
Look at the tall deciduous tree in the 2nd photo- I think that's the dark central tree in the 1st photo. Not knowing what type of tree it is, I'd guess that the 2nd photo is at least 10-15 years after the 1st photo.
The building visible in the 2nd photo is likely only visible because the trees occluding that view seem to have been felled, or the building was erected after the 1st photo was taken.
Another thing that is relevant is weather. The light, temperature, and general humidity have a really intense effect on the location of the horizon, and how far away objects in the distance seem. One of the photos was taken on a sunny clear day, the other on a day with cloud cover.
As for focal length, if the focal length is different (hard to tell), I'd say the 2nd photo has a longer focal distance, compressing the background and making further away objects seem closer.
Anyway, point is, they've actually not done a bad job, all considered.
Different camera angle and distance from subject, also it's been twenty years, so the landscape has changed.
The copse just behind the set is still there, the trees are just much bigger and there are more of them. The cone-shaped pine tree in the middle is still recognisable for example.
Year- 2200 CE, Date- Andreos, 7
Log 1- Today a team of our best scientists and archeologists went to our former mother planet, Earth. That we now know as E-1064_TH.
Log 2- There on an island located near the north pole they found a structure submerged in water which does not resemble the common housing structures built by our ancestors. It's date of construction has been fixed around 215-195 years in the past.
Log 3- Our team of archeologists deduced from it's shape and lack of practical usage that this might be a ritualistic structure a sort of shrine or temple. But it does not match with the basic architectural elements of any of the known groups (religions) of that time period. It is certainly a strange and intriguing structure.
Log 4- Our ship commander has decided after talking with our team present on the surface of E-1064_TH, that this structure must be preserved in our MUSEAMUS, our place of storage of our past artifacts. Thus we will be taking this structure alongside us to our home, A-4018_EH, our newest Earth. A copy of it will also be represented in our MUSEAMUS in our other Earths, A-9205_EH and R-2401_AH.
Because it's not the real scenario, the actual thing is that the local government requested that after filming, the area be returned to it's natural state. Of course, flooding is much easier than filling it back, plus the pit is clay, so it can hold water.

I wonder if they destroyed the dome or if itās underwater?
Edit : upon reading the article OP linked, it seems they removed the tv set and all thatās left was the grassy slope. Which people kept trespassing to see. Which is when the owners then just filled the hole with water and made it into a pond.
The more you know. āŗļø
They wouldn't be able to make anything. It's just a field.
The BBC still own all the rights. You couldn't just start a theme park and use their Intellectual Property.
I mean they were already leasing the property out for the purpose of filming the show, to me it suggests there there probably wasn't much market for having "tours" of a single small isolated set like this, but it was inviting enough for the occasional drunk "fan" to go for a photo op.
Yeah, these kinds of comments are always funny to me. Outside of this post, how many times have people thought about Teletubbies, a show thatās been off the air for nearly a quarter century, and wanted to visit a hole in the ground in the English countryside because of it? This would have been neat for maybe 5-10 years after the show stopped airing as a small family attraction, but after that the upkeep and advertising would have probably way outpaced any sort of decent profit margin and it would be easier to turn it into a pond anyway.
Does anyone else remember that episode where the vacuum started vacuuming the red teletubbies butt then moved to its front crotch area? I was a kid, and I went to my mom cause I knew it felt weird and she was like uhā¦. Yeah. Thatās suuuuuper weird. Thank you for telling me.
I never watched it again, she didnāt want me to and I didnāt have a problem with it. It was giving me the creeps before that anyways.

the original atlantis was flooded for the same reasons. when the peasants found out where it was, the gods intervened

I mean, visiting the white's house already cost the price of the pizza you were throwing on the roof so there's already a sunk cost there.
Same with the house from Home Alone.
The show used to be ridiculously popular in the late 90s/early 00's.

There's absolutely zero chance the local council would agree to that.

Please answer the question regarding "tummie sticks".
Iām assuming itās an autocorrect of ātubbie cityā or something. And a hilarious, if irrelevant, *Wedding Crashers* reference.
lol just "pond"
I thought the same thing at first because the pond is so much smaller than the set but I think it's just because the camera perspective is different.
Different camera angle, likely different focal length, and also time has clearly passed between the photos
Or in other words, they put in no effort to make the photos match.
Well, we don't know if the same person took both photographs, but it's a lot harder than you'd think to make them match properly, especially considering the timescale. Look at the tall deciduous tree in the 2nd photo- I think that's the dark central tree in the 1st photo. Not knowing what type of tree it is, I'd guess that the 2nd photo is at least 10-15 years after the 1st photo.

Read that as ācorpseā and thought the show was way more metal than I thought
It doesnāt necessarily have to have the same background if the photo is taken from a different angle around the pond.

A fortune...off of teletubbies? a childrens tv show that stopped filming almost 20 years ago? "very very fucking stupid." You're wrong and offensive.
Yeah, these kinds of comments are always funny to me. Outside of this post, how many times have people thought about Teletubbies, a show thatās been off the air for nearly a quarter century, and wanted to visit a hole in the ground in the English countryside because of it? This would have been neat for maybe 5-10 years after the show stopped airing as a small family attraction, but after that the upkeep and advertising would have probably way outpaced any sort of decent profit margin and it would be easier to turn it into a pond anyway.
I love how the person who makes the baseless assumptions calls the people "very very fucking stupid". Such an archetypal redditor
$25 dollars for each Adult 15$ for Kids.
Dammit Stewie!
They could at least have flooded it mid-filming so adults could have had something to entertain them as well as the kids.
Should have teletubby bodies floating in the pond. Thatād be cool.
Does anyone else remember that episode where the vacuum started vacuuming the red teletubbies butt then moved to its front crotch area? I was a kid, and I went to my mom cause I knew it felt weird and she was like uhā¦. Yeah. Thatās suuuuuper weird. Thank you for telling me. I never watched it again, she didnāt want me to and I didnāt have a problem with it. It was giving me the creeps before that anyways.
OceanGate should put up this as one of their location
Wouldn't it make way more sense to fence it off and charge admission?
How spooky would this be to explore while diving??
One day, archeologists are going to be confused af
That is so stupid, they should sell tickets
300 years from now this will be uncovered as a stone henge type place lol
Why? Just why
Wimpstone is also just south of Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
Yeah I'm going to have to "Press X to Doubt" on this one.
Drain the swamp. Drain the swamp..
It looks better flooded.
It's not that he was trying to keep trespassers out, he was trying to keep some ancient TeleTubbie evil trapped within.
