Igglepiggle, iggle onk. What’s in the Night Garden?

My son and I love to watch In The Night Garden; a BBC childrens TV show based on the goings on and characters of that land of the Night Garden. The inhabitants of the Night Garden are strange and interesting creatures such as; Igglepiggle, he carries a red blanket, has a bell in his shoe and a rattle in his hand. He falls over whenever he is frightened, surprised or just mildly taken aback. Upsy Daisy is the Night Gardens token mixed race character. Although she sleeps in a sentient bed, outside under the stars. Makka Pakka is a tiny little dude, makes himself busy by stacking rocks in a “Blair Witch “style and washing everything and everyone with the same sponge. Then there are the Tombliboos, the Pontipines, the HaHoos and the Wottingers.

Not to mention Ninky Nonk and Pinky Ponk.

As you can tell, my house is a shrine to the Night Garden. I am as equally enamoured to the gratiutious goings on as my offspring. I love it. I even made a website in tribute. It’s a way to find out what goes on In The Night Garden after the cameras have stopped rolling, check it out: fromthenightgarden.com.
