In Twickenham, the filming happened on a miniature 3D model instead of an open field. But that was not all! makers wanted to keep the revised version as close to the original. So, they created a similar setup in post-production, and the Teletubbies filmed around a blue screen. Obviously, the revised version had many improvements.
