Stevens later sang the theme song for Teletubbies. Davenport performed variously with France and Stevens at the Edinburgh and Brighton Festivals, London's ICA, Serpentine Gallery, Hayward Gallery, the British Art Show, National Review of Live Art, the Theatre de la Bastille in Paris, and the Yermolova Theatre in Moscow. His dance performance in Mehdi Norowzian's short film Joy inspired the award-winning Guinness "Anticipation" advert, and became the subject of a landmark high court ruling in 1998. Davenport also modelled for Gilbert & George's 1992 artwork "Eyes". Children's Television Career (1991-present) Ragdoll Productions (1991-2010) In 1991, Davenport joined Ragdoll Productions as a puppeteer and co-writer on the double BAFTA winning series Tots TV, (first broadcast in the UK in 1993) puppeteering and voicing the character of Tiny. He co-wrote the series of 297 episodes with Tom's Puppeteer Robin Stevens. Anne Wood invited Davenport to join the company after seeing him perform in Gary Stevens' Animal at the CCA in Glasgow. Davenport went on to play a lead role in turning Ragdoll into a globally recognised, specialist preschool producer. Brum (1994) Davenport was writer and line producer on Series 2 of the series Brum, and appeared in the series as Rascally Robber. Teletubbies (1997-2001) While he was writing for Tots TV, Davenport discussed with Anne Wood the viability of a show for a younger audience that was based on developmental rather than educational rationale. Davenport had been working on an idea for a set of characters based on spacemen, having noticed the toddler-like proportions and antics of astronauts in footage of the moon landings. He was invited by Anne Wood to further develop the characters in response to an invitation from the BBC to pitch a new preschool show. Wood's invitation gave Davenport opportunity to draw heavily on the studies and theories of child development and language acquisition he was introduced to at UCL. The BBC stipulated that young children should appear in the show, so Davenport placed TVs in the Teletubbies' tummies to solve the scale difference between the 'monster'-size Teletubbies and young children. In an interview with UCL's Alumnus magazine, Davenport said "There was a tendency for makers of children's TV to come from a teaching background, and the accepted form often involved a presenter/teacher leading a group of puppets/children in learning things. It seemed to me to portray a situation alien to the culture of the younger preschool child.
