Released earlier this week by the London underground press, Ragdoll Productions has been in a heated legal battle with the UK Circus Midget Union for allegedly replacing it midget workforce with under-aged like sized children actors.
Ragdoll Productions has denied all claims that they have been forcing under-aged minors to perform as the beloved Teletubbies characters.
This alleged abuse has been traced back to early 2003 when they switched from using highly trained circus midgets due to their high cost and uncontrollable drinking habits.
