In the Night Garden 539 1669 ITNG Igglepiggle's Bath-time Lightshow Boat

Product Information

The solution takes the form of a travelling inflatable theatre fitted with baby-friendly touches, such as microwaves for the warming of milk (promising a whole new kind of interval drinks bedlam). Audiences are offered a choice of two stories. "One features Iggle Piggle losing his blanket," says Davenport. "The other features Makka Pakka washing everyone's faces." Neither story, it's safe to say, will come as a great surprise to regular viewers of the show, many of whom are parents who find its soothing antics easier on the eye and the ear, not to mention the imagination, than Teletubbies. In any normal world this would herald a call to the police and the immediate descent of a dozen safeguarding specialists. Especially when you consider there's an adult male in a corduroy cat suit sleeping in a BED in a HOUSE at the bottom of the tree and her parents are probably frantic with worry. But not on CBeebies. Oh no. In this strange, drug-inspired reality the twisted individual in a cat suit is just giving the little girl a welcome chance to float around on bubbles made by an elephant seal who, inexplicably considering our weather, lives in the lake. If In the Night Garden is surreal and infuriating and annoying and too loud and too repetitive and incomprehensible that’s because THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT. It is all those things and us grown ups aren’t supposed to understand it. There are no in-jokes for parents, no wink-wink over the heads of children to let us boring oldies know that yes, it’s all a bit of silly fluff but look at the little dears, don’t they love it so? a b "Past Winners and Nominees – Children's – Awards – 2008".

For each episode, his friends play around for 25 mins or so. But, it's at the end that the narrator begins to tell everybody to 'go to sleep'. Unfortunately, Iggle Piggle is always seen to be awake at the end. Despite his best efforts to fall asleep, the narrator says "Its time to go". To me, this means its time for Iggle Piggle to leave the night garden and continue his days upon the boat, suffering on the never-ending sea. In the end, we see Iggle Piggle, still currently in the night garden, drifting the seas, as the sun begins to rise. Soon enough, Iggle Piggle will awake, awaiting the day when his life finally leaves him and he's able to be with his friends forever. In The Night Garden is the creepiest kids show on TV. Every parent knows it. Angela Cuming digs deep to find out who invented this terrible and annoying show that children all over the world adore.A spin-off special series, titled In the Night Garden... ZinkyZonk Specials was announced by WildBrain in September 2022. The six 15-minute specials are CGI-animated in Canada by WildBrain Studios, with an initial broadcast deal made with Hop! Channel in Israel. [19] The series first premiered in Australia on ABC Kids in September 2022. [20]

The Adventures of Abney and Teal could be renamed The Corduroy Catnapper and it would make more sense. But this is CBeebies, where television programmes aimed at the under-6s seem intent on teaching them to run away with odd men, fear adolescence and do terrible things to music. In the United Kingdom, In the Night Garden... debuted on 19 March 2007 and aired its final episode on 6 March 2009. From 23 April until 10 June 2007, the show took a break from airing on the CBeebies channel although it was still shown on BBC Two. From 11 June 2007 until 28 March 2008, the show aired on the CBeebies channel every day, including weekends, at 6:25pm in the "Bedtime Hour" slot, in addition to earlier 11am showings on BBC Two on weekday mornings. [11] From 29 March until 29 August 2008, In The Night Garden... was removed from its 6:25pm "Bedtime Hour" slot, which resulted in a nationwide fan petition outside the BBC's Television Centre studios asking for the programme to be re-instated to its normal slot. [10] The show returned to the daily "Bedtime Hour" slot at 6.20pm as of 30 August 2008 and began showing the second series (beginning with "Slow Down Everybody") on 1 September 2008. [12] From 3 January until 4 September 2009, the show was moved to a 6:00pm transmission time but was still retained in the “Bedtime Hour” slot. From 5 September 2009 onwards; to this day, the show remains in the 6:20pm slot and is traditionally the last full-length programme of the day before the bedtime story segment. The show also aired on Jetix Play. Does that boat look like it has enough provisions to get him going wherever it is that he is going? He doesn't even have a second blanket, and uses his sail as one at night. In a city near you is a park with a pond with an island in the middle. On it lives a small girl called Teal. Her only possessions are an umbrella and a blanket and she sleeps in a tree. She is friends with a turnip. My theory is this. Iggle Piggle and his friends, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy, The triplets and the small people, as well as their parents, we're all on a boat out at sea having a good time. But, due to a reason, the ship begins to sink or is sunk. Iggle Piggle escapes onto a lifeboat, with nothing more than a safety blanket that he keeps (as he is probably a child). Unfortunately, his friends and parents die on the ship.Lane, Harriet (25 November 2007). "Night fever: How In The Night Garden became a TV fairytale". The Observer. ISSN 0029-7712 . Retrieved 30 August 2023. Kids are very emphatic, and understand what is going on sometimes better than adults, which is why they get upset at this ending... they know Iggle Piggle is dying and he is most likely dead by the end of the episode. They might not understand why they are getting upset, but for some reason, they know that this ending is upsetting and wrong. The boxset Hello Everybody! (24 November 2008) includes "Hello Igglepiggle", "Hello Upsy Daisy", "Hello Makka Pakka", & "Hello Tombliboos" But all those theories are, again, the work of grown ups. And subliminal readings of 14th century poetry aside, it still doesn’t explain what on earth In the Night Garden is all about and why children love it so God damn much.

This is a ploy. You are in a cult. It should be called Peppantology. Thank heavens Tom Cruise hasn't seen it yet, that's all I can say. The specials centre on a brand new character called the Zonk, who sends the characters off to the magical world of the ZonkeyZoney so they can relax in peace. The series is fully animated in 3D CGI animation, unlike the original series which was a mix of CGI, 2D animation and live-action.

His hand slaps down on the sketchpad. "Don't read that," says Andrew Davenport, refusing to move his fingers, despite my cajoling. "It's terrible." His hand is covering a short rhyme, written in pencil, that was his very first attempt to devise a song for a shapely piece of blue fluff called Iggle Piggle, who first came to life on these sketchpads three years ago, and who has since all but taken over the world. And there was me thinking it was just a bunch of toys running about saying hello to each other. Davenport has, however, forgotten the other crucial thing about Iggle Piggle: he looks very like David Cameron. "Yeah," he laughs. "People have said that. But David Cameron wasn't on my mind at any point during the devising of Iggle Piggle." Does he think it might have helped Cameron's election success? "It might have made a contribution," he says, laughing again. "Who knows?"
