Most of us grew up watching the Teletubbies in some capacity, and thoroughly enjoyed their gibberish playdates under the watchful gaze of a, um, baby sun. Despite starring in a children's show, Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po have courted controversy before - but never in a million years did any of us think that they were secretly reproducing.
Lo and behold, the Teletubbies have had children called Tiddlytubbies.
According to the USA version of the show, these eight youngsters live in their own part of the 'Home Dome', which just sounds like a creepy kid's version of a Stephen King novel.
Their names are Baa, Mi-Mi, RuRu, Duggle Dee, Nin, Daa Daa, Ping and Umby Pumby.
The news has, naturally, sent shockwaves through fans the world over.
Some people on social media are lamenting the idea that the Teletubbies are getting more action than real people, but everyone is obviously trying to work out who knocked up who. Although I'm sure those salacious details will probably never be revealed.
The British kids show pumped out an impressive 365 episodes between 1997 and 2001, however diehard fans were very excited when the BBC announced in 2014 that another 60 episodes had been commissioned.
But there was a bit of confusion and borderline terror when news broke that they're actually 10 feet tall.
The show has won several BAFTAs and Daytime Emmys, along with a bunch of other awards. It's Wikipedia page hilariously notes that: "Although the programme is aimed at children between the ages of one and four, it had a substantial cult following with older generations, mainly university and college students.
"The mixture of bright colours, unusual designs, repetitive non-verbal dialogue, ritualistic format, and occasional forays into physical comedy appealed to many who perceived the programme as having psychedelic qualities."
I don't think anyone will disagree with that.
