Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tinky Winky's triangular purse sparked a 1999 Jerry Falwell moral panic about 'homosexual subversion' in children's TV. The BBC responded: 'He's not gay, he's not straight, he's just a character in a children's series.'
The show was banned in Norway for being 'too disturbing' and the original Sun Baby, Jess Smith, was cast at just 9 months old after being spotted in a hospital.
