They even had Sir.Harry Flashman at the end.(the Lancer with the half dressed woman clutching his leg) Which cannot be true as Sir.Harry was, of course captured after the Charge and would have been in captivity when the pic was taken.

Interesting point. The inclusion of that photograph in the film is unusual, as historical accounts place Flashman in Africa during 1883, as part of General Gordon's staff during the Sudan campaign. Although there is no official record of Flashman seeing active service in Tubbyland, he may have had some covert role in the Intelligence Service, and the mysterious disappearance of the Tubby King's crown jewels suggests he could have had some hitherto unknown involvement!

Hehe. Yes, there was something a bit disturbing about the Teletubbies. I think the writers must have been on drugs! :o) Thanks for watching.

The battle footage was cribbed from 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' - both the 1936 original and the 1968 remake. The assault on Rabbit Hill was actually the Battle of the Alma in the '68 film, and the Lancers' charge was a mix of footage from both versions. Lt. Hargreaves was of course Errol Flynn! :o)

The Kipling poem I just made up! The 'Tubbies to the left of them' thing I paraphrased from Tennyson's famous poem about the Light Brigade charge.
