Product Information

You'd have thought these were just loveable imaginings by a child... But then again, you'd be so unfortunately correct... In the spring of 2008, several new toys arrived, including roll-along characters, Talking Cuddly Makka Pakka, Ninky Nonk Pop-up tent and more. Hasbro won the 2008 "Best Licensed Toy or Game range" Licensing Award for their In The Night Garden... range. [13] On 1 October 2019, the "In the Night Garden Igglepiggle Peek-a-boo Clip-on Toy" made by Golden Bear Toys was recalled due to a possible choking hazard to young children.

The series is fully animated in 3D CGI animation, unlike the original series which was a mix of CGI, 2D animation and live-action. In 1999 the attraction underwent its first retheme to become Riverbank Eye Spy as part of Old MacDonald's magical farmyard. The ride took passengers on a leisurely trip around a number of 2D sets featuring a whole host of farmyard animals, with the on ride audio asking them to identify the animals as they passed by pressing a button. This button then played the matching sound, enhancing the interactive feel of the ride.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. 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. In the Night Garden...Live! started a first UK tour in July 2010. The show took place in an inflatable purpose-built show-dome. The show debuted and premiered in Liverpool and moved on to London, Glasgow and Birmingham. In the Night Garden...Live! has toured the United Kingdom every summer.

Another says Davenport created Iggle Piggle to look like former British prime minister David Cameron and it helped him win the general election in 2010. Andrew Davenport stated in an interview with the Guardian that the key inspiration for the series was his own dream world as a child. This started coming into place in 2004 when Davenport created sketches for the characters of Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka. The series would go on to be publicly announced a year later, and filming would eventually start in early 2005. [5] AMAZING BATHTIME LIGHTSHOW: Fans of the much loved CBeebies show, In the Night Garden will love this In the Night Garden Bath Toy. Iggle Piggle’s iconic boat floats on the water and has amazing colourful lights that illuminate the bottom of the bath with three different coloured LED’s and an ever-changing pattern to help make bath-time peaceful and soothing ahead of that all-important bedtime routine My favourite is that In the Night Garden is secretly teaching our children Chaucer. The theory is that Chaucer’s medieval poetry was largely based on the poet’s dream visions, just like the Night Garden, and his characters were less individuals and more representations of abstract vices and virtues, just like Iggle Piggle and his friends.Lane, Harriet (25 November 2007).

But there is one show that I have since delved into, and looked behind the innocence of, a bedtime show that readies children for slumber. I don’t know how the show does it. Maybe I don’t want to know. There can be three screaming children and as soon as they hear the honking of the Ninky Nonk they turn into calm and peaceful angels, giggling hysterically and clapping their hands and twirling around and generally being gorgeous and happy and calm, lovely little cherubs. Fans of the much-loved CBeebies show, In the Night Garden will love Iggle Piggle’s light show bath-time boat. This bath toy features amazing colourful lights that illuminate the bottom of the bath with three different coloured LED’s and ever-changing light-up pattern to help make bath-time peaceful and soothing ahead of that all-important bedtime routine.

Bedtime really commands a child's entire day. Very often children don't have a proper sense of time. They live with the idea that, at any moment, someone could just take them from what they are doing and send them to bed. It can be a difficult moment: being suddenly alone. So In the Night Garden makes a metaphorical explanation for sleep, which is one of the only things in a child's life it can't be accompanied on. That's why you have the image of Iggle Piggle alone on a boat at the start, floating on a dark swelling ocean that's a metaphor for sleep." In 2010, more new toys were released like the Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy set that contained a copy of the Series 2 episode The Pontipines' Picnic (2008) on DVD as well as an electronic Ninky Nonk (which made the actual sounds from the Show) and a Playmat that had: the Bridge, the Tombliboo Bush (with The Tombliboos and their beds), the Gazebo and the Pinky Ponk.Before setting off to meet Davenport, I'd asked my daughter if she had a question for Iggle Piggle's daddy. "Why does Iggle Piggle have to go to bed?" she said. "That's a really interesting question," says Davenport. "He's the connection for the child, the one who goes to sleep at the beginning and enters the Night Garden. But he's also, crucially, the only character not in bed at the end.
