In the Night Garden

My first son came home from his Grandma's one weekend going crazy about a character he had seen called Iggle Piggle. I thought he had gone mad until I watched In the Night Garden. Then I was enlightened. The story is about a magical place somewhere between awake and asleep and it contains characters called Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka, the Tombliboos, the Pontipines and the Harhoos. There isn't really much content in the stories but for young children you don't really need much - for some reason the music and colours on screen captivate them. My younger son is now an avid fan. I would definitely recommend this programme as a ...  Read the complete review

I have had a vague awareness of In the Night Garden for a few years now as I have a six year old stepdaughter who was really into it a few years ago. Until recently my knowledge of it was limited to the names of a few characters but now my one year old has become fascinated by it, I feel I know it fairly well. ~~~ Summary ~~~ It is tricky to explain what In the Night Garden is about. As an adult it completely baffles me as nothing really seems to happen but young children certainly seem to find it fascinating. It is designed for children aged one to four and is aimed at stimulating their imagination. It was created by the people responsible ...  Read the complete review

We were late getting into this show. I heard everyone talking about it but as my daughter went to bed at 6pm, which was when it was shown (until recently) it escaped us. Until one day when I realised it was on at 10:30 on BBC2, and we just happened to be home and having a snack.... My daugher was 13 months when she first saw it, and until then had never been bothered by tv- she could happily ignore it when it was on, but wow, did she take notice of this! From start to finish, she sat and was mesmerised by the bright, colourful characters who made noises she liked, jumped and danced around, and hugged and kissed. She loved the birds that made funny music noises ...  Read the complete review

Oh as a parent I know how much in the night garden kids programme is in my life and my sons life. It is the only time I get piece and quiet. It was originally first shown on ceebies and then it is on bbc and some other channels I am not sure which channels. Anyway this is a great programme that settles kids to go to bed it is a great wind down programme for kids. I sat the other night watching it with my son on the laptop and I honestly nearly drifted off the relaxing music and it was a starry night and iggle piggle was out on a boat and he was sleeping and then it started raining flowers it was so peaceful and relaxing I had to fight my sleep. It works a ...  Read the complete review

I dont think I know a child that doesnt like this program and it is piece and quite for the whole family when it is on in our house. This program is by the bbc and bless them I know why I pay a tv licence now thank you very much. This program started on cbeebies a well known freeview channel for children. This is now also shown on bbc 2 at half 10 weekdays which I think is great because straight after there is one on cebeebies so we have an hour that is free of now 2 year old running riot around the house just enough time for me to have a cup of coffee and put my feet up. This is then repeated on cbeebies at half 2 which gives me enough time to pack up the ...  Read the complete review
