AGAIN! AGAIN! Teletubbies return for free UK tour and crack at the charts.

Byline: Mark McGivern

THE Teletubbies are about to say "Eh-oh" once more - with a free UK tour and a single.

Children's favourites Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa, Dipsy and Po are already in training for their big comeback

Yesterday, they limbered up by donning sweatbands and legwarmers for rehearsals at London's Pineapple Dance Studios.

Their BBC show was a massive hit around the world in the late 90s.

Remix

The 365 episodes were watched by enthralled toddlers in more than 120 countries.

Known for their cries of "again, again", the quartet even notched up a No1 single with Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh, which sold more than a million copies.

BBC Worldwide bosses are hoping to recapture some of that pulling power with a new single - a dance remix of their track Follow My Leader - on August 24, and a rerelease of their album complete with bonus mixes a fortnight later.

There will also be a new DVD, Ready Steady Dance, and a tour of shopping centres for free performances - including a date in East Kilbride.
