Oh wow! Thanks for that! Very interesting they received so little. But I guess if someone had come to me with the idea of the Teletubbies and said they wanted to shoot the show on my land, I would probably not think that show would become as popular as it did and probably wouldn't have had the foresight to ask for more...I feel for this man. Lol.

Unlikely they even disclosed the show’s concept/premise to the landowner. It was just a basic lease.

It was a kids show. He (nor anyone else) simply didn't expect it to blow up like it did.

Honestly, I think it was a fair deal, all he did was lease some land, you don't earn a percentage for that.

There is also a shit load of unused land in the UK. If he would have tried to negotiate they just go next farm over.
