Dave Thompson (born 1 January 1960) is a British comedian and actor who hit the headlines in July 1997 after being removed from the role of Tinky Winky in the children's television series Teletubbies after 70 episodes. The BBC said in a letter to Thompson that his "interpretation of the role was not acceptable".
In an interview for The Pod Delusion, Thompson revealed that his contract had already been terminated at the end of the first season's filming – some time before the media allegations concerning Tinky Winky had emerged. He also claimed that a number of other Ragdoll Productions staff had been fired at the same time, the implication being that the mainstream media account of his termination was incorrect.
Thompson recounted bursting into tears upon learning the news of his termination. In interviews, he supposed that the fact his voice was dubbed, unlike the other actors, was an indication of dissatisfaction over his performance.
Thompson later appeared in the 2000 Ben Elton film Maybe Baby as Dave the Comedian/Mrs. Furblob. He also appeared in Harry Hill's live tour Hooves as the minor characters of the Horse, the ballboy and the Greek man who grabs Harry's neck. The original role of Thompson for the show was to carry Harry onto the stage at the beginning of the performance, but was unable to do so throughout the tour due to having a bad back. Thompson made brief appearances in each night of the Hooves tour.
Actors: Henry Armetta (actor), William Farnum (actor), Claire Whitney (actress), Edgar Lewis (writer), Edgar Lewis (director), William Fox (miscellaneous crew), Riley Hatch (actor), Harry Spingler (actor), Garfield Thompson (writer), George De Carlton (actor), Roy Norton (writer), William J. Gross (actor), Flavia Arcaro (actress), Elizabeth Eyre (actress),
Plot: Bill Matthews and his partner, owners of the "Croix D'or mine, are beset on all sides dues to the schemes of a trusted colleague who plots to take their mine away from them, and leaves no under-handed method un-attempted in the process.

Dave Thompson for Verde BMX. Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/SubToTCU Yesterday on Twitter I wondered out loud what Dave Thompson was up to and today Verde TM Will Stroud let me know that he stepped down from the pro team about a year ago when he started his own concrete business and moved to Wyoming. He still rides a Verde although I'm not sure how often he gets on his bike at the moment. He shocked us all a few years ago with his Killjoy section ( http://youtu.be/MV0OZq-oYOk?t=37m7s ), which went on to win video part of the year in 2012 but many of you probably don't remember this unreal web video he dropped a few months before Killjoy was released. I wonder if Dave has a video part left in him or if his Killjoy section was the last we'll see of him... This video was originally put out i...

Then it' on to the electoral college, which is both explained and defended by Michael Shure. Mark Thompson is not a fan. Jimmy tells us about the perfect martini and torches the American political system. He loathes Clinton and Trump and everyone else who has a whiff of being part of mainstream politics.
