In The Night Garden

[Bonfirelight]

i like the end, though it always seems a bit sad to me.

I think Iggle Piggle is a shipwreck survivor, hopelessly cast adrift at sea with no hope of being rescued, and having resorted to drinking seawater to survive, has started to halloucinate an imaginary world.

In the last ever episode the night garden will be all white and glowing, and then when it ends, it will pan out to his little decomposing corpse hanging over the side of his lifeboat.

My daughter loves it - it seems to be on at 7am at the moment which defeats the whole bedtime theme. Good job I've every episode on my computer though that means I've seen every episode about 8 times and every episode of Charlie and Lola about 3 times My little girl just knows she can order up kids tv on order, give her another 6 months and she'll be able to do it herself.

I think it's great, much more entertaining than the teletubbies, though I usually take the opportunity to have a nap.

Cherub used to love it, but she has outgrown it now, prefers Dora and Diego
My daughters bf worked on the night garden set, he thought it was going to be the BB set so loved it

Oh just realised i have a ninkynonk on top of my microwave

Aye, my wee lass loves it too. Youtube and the CBeebies website make up for the lack of sense at the BBC now that they've dumped this from the bedtime hour schedules.

Though I don't show her this particular version, I recommend it!

I don't have TV but I see it when I visit a friend with an 18 month old who loves it.
It is rather addictive

Love the way they fuck with scale, & in turn your head.

I found myself singing the Makka Pakka song today I love the bit that goes "hum dum akka pang, ing ang oo".

 

[whitedove]

glad to see im not the only insaniac that enjoys this lovely little programme.
me kids dont mind it either

* night garden rocks*

 

[Scaggs]

If you think that In The Night Garden is slightly disturbing you should watch Lazy Town!!

I have to turn it off when that comes on, no matter how the little 'un
complains

Some of the twee Scottish ones are a bit unsettling too. That big posh bloke with a kilt in Ballymory just seems a bit strange.

Night Garden is ok though

Not if you're coming to the end of a nightshift. It all makes sense then.

You got your kids working the nightshift? wow

 

[cybertect]

Imagine those things chasing you.

You are running away, as fast you can, stumbling, looking behind you at their unchanging smiling faces, as they float towards you.

They will catch you eventually, but you don't know what they will do with you when they do. All you know is that it will far far worse than them raping you or eating you. It will be a fate far far worse than death.

Now you're making me feel like Patrick McGooghan in The Prisoner

I love the one where Makka Pakka washes everything with his grubby cloth. And a little bit of soap.

As any fule no, Makka Pakka must have OCD.

Bloody bbc have changed the schedule. Now the foal doesn't think it's bedtime.

I was wondering whether it was just coincidence that the first time I noticed was over the weekend in an ad for the new schedule, just after the episode of Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies, called Change is Gonna Come, about Chad the tadpole turning into a frog - moral being that change is a good thing

Don't get me started on the Pontipines and the Wottingers...

Big barn farm is the favourite in our house at the moment.
Gobo rocks

We now sky+ night garden in the afternoon and just pop it on just before bed.

 

[Sweet FA]

New Charlie & Lola on at 18.15 so peace reigns once more

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Well, I'm getting into 64 zoo lane so I'm not so worried about it taking ITNGs place now.

 

[pk]

Makka Pakka is the Daddy of that garden. Not Iggle Piggle.
I reckon hes dealing rocks too.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm pretty sure it's all in Iggle Piggles head so it's HIS garden.

Makka Pakka is a big bloody baby.

 

[Sweet FA]

Makka Pakka,
Akka Wakka,
Mikka Makka moo

Makka Pakka,
Appa yakka,
Ikka akka, ooo

Hum dum,
Agga pang,
Ing, ang, ooo

Makka Pakka,
Akka wakka,

Yup, Big Barn Farm is the bizniz as far as my five year old in concerned.

That, and Harry Potter

This bit's my favourite

 

[murdok]

I saw a little bit of it but found it a bit unnerving, especially since I can't help but think some of the main characters sound like racist slang ('Macca Pacca' and the 'Ninky Nonks')

 

[Structaural]

*chortle*

What is odd is that Upsy Daisy has a dark face but all the merchandise have light beige faces.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Tonight little suplex was going absolutely nuts at tea time. I stick on in the night garden and - ping - everything is fixed in an instant.

It's magical.

She wasn't interested in Poi doing an imaginary walk but when the night garden came on - wow. Magic. How do they do it?

 

[monkeyhead]

great stuff, the Tombliboos avant garde freeform jazz gives me a headache though

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

i hate this programme. probably because my boy is out of the phase of devlopment where its acceptable/encouraged to speak in senseless rhyme. that phase lasted from birth to four months.
I hate it.
My boy quite likes it though i suspect it's just to get on my nerves because I call it ninky-nonky-nonsense.
the bit where one of them tucks themself in to a boat and goes sailing off somewhere creeps me out for some reason.

 

[HackneyE9]

The quality of Jacobi's voice as narrator really makes that series. It's the same with Brian Cant on Camberwell Green/Chigley/Trumpton and the woman who does Alberto the Frog in Bod - plus of course John Le Mesurier himself as Bod, or Arthur Lowe in the original Mr Men cartoons.

According to wikipedia, it's particularly "zen" that Iggle Piggle folds up his sail before ... sailing....!

You and Upsy Daisy both. I quite like the drummer.
