There are three types of Events that can happen when the Windmill spins. Once the Teletubbies hear the Magic Windmill spinning, they will stop any activity that they are doing, say "Uh-oh!", and immediately go where the Event takes place.

For that season the show was 15 minutes long and aired 5 days per week. During the second season, she became the sole host of the program. Joy co-hosted the show with Craighton Knau for the first season (1951-1952), which was 30 minutes long and aired 3 times per week.
