Andrew McCrorie-Shand

Andrew McCrorie-Shand is a British composer. He is mostly known for having composed the original theme tune for Teletubbies, and also the chart topping hit that followed it, Teletubbies say "Eh-oh!".

He was born into a musical family and taught to play piano from age 5. Then he was signed to EMI Records where he worked with major performers of the era such as Leo Sayer, Sally Oldfield, Billy Ocean and Sarah Brightman.[1]

McCrorie-Shand was later looked upon by the children's production company Ragdoll Productions and chosen to work on TV shows such as Teletubbies, Brum, Tots TV, Boohbah and Rosie and Jim.

He has not returned for the reboot of Teletubbies, the new song instead being composed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London, but he is still credited for composing the original theme song.
