These may be silly words,” he told The Guardian, “but they are nice words: charming, attractive, fun words”. 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? 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.
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.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. 'Somebody's not in bed – Iggle Piggle's not in bed.' You'd have thought these were just loveable imaginings by a child... But then again, you'd be so unfortunately correct... 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. Angela’s children watching In The Night Garden BBC acts over light-skinned doll". BBC News. 5 January 2009. Archived from the original on 26 January 2009 . Retrieved 11 January 2010. That was my friend Ashleigh’s immediate response when I asked her thoughts on In the Night Garden. I think it is fair to say she speaks for every single parent on the face of the Earth.
Brown, Jonathan; Robinson, Josie (18 April 2007). "In the Night Garden: Bedtime for Teletubbies". The Independent. Archived from the original on 12 December 2008 . Retrieved 11 January 2010. Andrew Davenport, who also created Teletubbies, the world’s second most annoying children’s television show, was 43 when he dreamed up In the Night Garden, condemning millions of parents to a fate worse than being run over by the Ninky Nonk while probably never having to sit through an episode (other than for work) himself. They babble in baby talk and the whole think is narrated by esteemed English Shakespearean thespian Sir Derek Jacobi. The creators describe In the Night Garden as ”the magical place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child’s imagination”. a b Reynolds, Nigel (2 April 2008).

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?"

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. 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.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. The drive, he realised, was taking longer than it should; looking out of the window he found himself in unfamiliar landscapes. He looked at his father in the reflection of the rear-view mirror, catching his eye and a furrowed brow, the young boy stayed quiet and held onto his blanket tightly. He'd found what he was looking for, and the boy had gotten quite tired from the ordeal, his head bobbing in and out of consciousness on his father's shoulder. 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.
