In The Night Garden

In The Night Garden has been a huge success with young children everywhere & its range of toys,games & books are sure to feature in this years christmas top 10. Here's a small insight into the programme itself.

In The Night Garden is full of fun loving characters with unusual names such as Upsy Daisy, Igglepiggle, Makka Pakka, the Pontipines, the Wottingers, the Haahoos and three Tombliboos. Some of these toy like characters travel around the garden in either the Pinky Ponk, a brightly coloured airship, or the Ninky Nonk, an train with oddly shaped carriages.

As well as trees and tropical birds (Tittifers), In The Night Garden features a large cast of other creatures for a programme aimed at toddlers. The characters mostly speak short, repetitive phrases in an invented language. The repetition of sound associated with the characters builds up familiarity amongst the target audience. The garden is a colourful, brightly-decorated environment reminiscent of a dream world.

In The Night Garden starts with a child in bed whist a narrator introduces the episode. The scene cuts to Igglepiggle travelling to the Night Garden in his boat. The episodes end with one character receiving a bedtime story, which is generated by the "Magic Roundabout" style gazebo that sits at the centre of the Night Garden. This story is a summary of the plot of the episode. Sometimes the characters all sing and dance together under the gazebo. Iggle Piggle's best friends are Upsy Daisy & Makka Pakka.

In The Night Garden Iggle Piggle is a visitor to the garden, therefore he does not go to sleep, and his goodbye sequence ("Igglepiggle's not in bed!" — "Squeak!" — "Don't worry, Igglepiggle, it's time to go.") rounds off the programme. The Night Garden retreats into the night sky and we see him asleep on his little boat as the programme's closing titles roll. As Igglepiggle is clearly asleep at the beginning and end of In The Night Garden it might be inferred that the entire narrative was his dream. Oddly, he takes down the sail of his boat at the beginning in order to travel, a rather Zen like gesture.

In The Night Garden is intended to help children relax, and achieve calming relationships with parents. Co-creator of In The Night Garden Anne Wood stated "We became very aware of the anxiety surrounding the care of young children which manifested itself in all kind of directions – but the one big subject that came up again and again was bedtime. It's the classic time for tension between children who want to stay up and parents who want them to go to bed... so In The Night Garden is a programme about calming things down whereas most children's TV is about gee-ing everything up!"
