A third theory centres around King James II, who was formerly known as the Duke of York. In 1688 he marched troops to Salisbury Plain to resist the invasion of William of Orange, but he had to retreat when his men started to defect. This is the first episode to have the video segment filmed at Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The other three episodes were See-Saw, Humpty Dumpty, and Hey Diddle Diddle.

James II (1633–1701), formerly Duke of York, who in 1688 marched his troops to Salisbury Plain to resist the invasion from his son-in-law William of Orange, only to retreat and disperse them as his support began to evaporate. [6] The Teletubbies join in a game when a voice trumpet sings the Grand Old Duke of York. The Magic Windmill spins and the Teletubbies watch as Po gets a musical transmission featuring King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys singing The Grand Old Duke of York. Then the Teletubbies head to the path to do The Stamping and Stepping Dance, as they march down the path.In the US dub Version of The Magic House, the puppet sings with the same voice on each window, unlike in the Original UK Version where he sings with a different voice on each of the windows.

In Wrapping, and the PBS Versions of Numbers - 4 (Version 1 of the Original PBS Version and Rerun Version), Washing the Car (Sprout Version), Rabbits (Original PBS Version), Funny Walks (Sprout Version) and Cat's Night Out (Rerun Version), the Sun Baby giggles before Tubby Bye-Bye happens after the Magic Event ends.As a result, the argument has been made that it may have been a common satirical verse that was adapted as appropriate and, because it was recorded in roughly the modern form, has become fixed on the Duke of York. [2] Candidates for the duke in question include: The lyrics of ‘Grand Old Duke’ have come to stand for futile and useless military (or general) action. The men are marched up, then down, and the only thing to be said of it is that once they were up there, they were “up”, and once they were down again, they were “down”. Nothing else was achieved. You've heard, of course, all about the grand old Duke of York. He had ten thousand men. He marched them up to the top of the hill, and then he marched them down again... Sing and play along to over forty popular nursery rhymes, with the words and actions on screen. The first two segments of this episode were featured in the VHS Nursery Rhymes and the audio tape Fun with the Teletubbies.
