Teletubbies and Creatures

Lately my toddler has been watching Teletubbies and I keep thinking about how the show feels like a Creatures game.

A disembodied voice guides Teletubbies to different activities to teach them about certain concepts and ideas.
A high-tech, self sustained environment with an alien-looking visual design that hosts the Teletubbies. Implications of a sophisticated hidden infrastructure, automated systems and bots with artificial intelligence. Toys, gadgets and safe playgrounds.
In some episodes you can see baby Teletubbies being raised in a smaller, enclosed nursery. They are sometimes allowed to interact with the older Teletubbies for a short time.

Overall hightech facility vibes without a direct interaction with the original builders/caretakers.

I wonder if the creator of the Teletubbies was inspired by the first Creatures game since the first episode was released about a year after the game.
