In the Night Garden is a children’s television show which can be described as a modern take on a traditional nursery rhyme picture book featuring many characters based around a variety of toys, living together in a fantasy woodland world within a happy and caring community.

In the Night Garden is aimed at babies and pre-school children aged 1-5 and has been created by the inventors of the Teletubbies, Anne Wood and Andy Davenport. The programme is designed to both relax and amuse young children. Each episode takes children on a journey that is sure to spark their imagination as they travel through the magical world encountering a variety of unique characters. Kids are encouraged to interact in their own way with each individual character. The BBC has commissioned 100 episodes, with a total budget of £14.5 million. In the Night Garden has been filmed in an actual woodland location which gives a compelling and realistic experience for a younger audience.

Each character that lives in the Night Garden interacts and cares for one another despite dramatic differences in their individual sizes, and everyone has their own distinctive song and dance. The wonderfully silly inhabitants of the Night Garden include IgglePiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka, the Tombliboos and the Pontipines.
