A lifeboat crew called to investigate a �??body�?� in the sea off St Just in Cornwall found themselves rescuing a Teletubby. A lifeguard spotted the 3�?? red inflatable floating a few hundred metres from the beach and raised the alarm, believing it to be a person.

A spokesman for Falmouth Coastguard commented,

�??It was an easy mistake to make �?? except for the antenna coming out of its head�?�.

How reassuring. Some stories just write themselves, really, don’t they?
