The British television series "Teletubbies" ran from 1997 to 2001.

Despite their appearance on screen, the characters were quite large: Tinky Winky stood at 10 feet, Po at 6 feet 6 inches, Laa-Laa at 6 feet 5 inches, and Dipsy at 8 feet in height.

To create the illusion of their small size, the show was filmed on an expansive set in Wimpstone, Warwickshire. This location was kept a secret for a significant period. However, once the information about the show's filming location became public, it unintentionally turned into a tourist attraction. People would trespass to visit the "Tubbytronic Superdome." Frustrated by these disturbances, the landowners eventually decided to flood the set.

Missed opportunity. They should have started charging admission and giving tours.

Interesting tidbit!
