Who needs a remake of The Prisoner when you have this? Clearly, Iggle Piggle is trapped in the nightmare of the new village. A parable of our times!
Please let I not be the only adult who watches this small screen narrated-by-Derek-Jacobi-who-was-the-Master-in-Doctor-Who masterpiece?

You're a little slow ctaching onto this.
Watch out for "Runaway Og Pog" which is a silent movie remake, "Tomliboos clean their teeth" is rather good too as is "Makka Pakka's Stone Concert" and "Igglepiggle's Tiddle"
Keep an eye out for the episode where Igglepiggle & Upsy Daisey goosestep round the garden.
You may want to ask questions about Igglepiggle & Upsy Daisey's relationship. One episode contains the following scene:
* Igglepiggle kisses Upsy Daisey
* Upsy Daisey kisses Igglepiggle
* Upsy Daisey's bed turns up
!
And as for the hidden meaning behind Igglepiggle's Mucky Patch when he get the Mucky patch on Upsy Daisey .....

Oh I've been watching it for a while but I was shocked the other day to find some folk who had not seen it! They know who they are.

It's a damn shame Makka Pakka lives in a cave though. Poor bastard.

But he has his special stone to take to bed. Pity Igglepiggle, he has nowhere to sleep in the Garden. Every time he borrows Upsy Daisey's bed he gets into trouble !

That's because Igglepiggle is The Prisoner. He can never find comfort. Or freedom.

My one year old nephew loves this show. We find that the uncontrolable flatulance of the Pontipines to be hilarious.

I'm not into all of these modern day pre-school shows but from what people have said here it does sound like a strange show.

It's like experiencing a state of extreme drunkeness, but without having to drink.

We only discovered Cbeebies, and In The Night Garden, when Piglet was poorly with chickenpox. Now we're all hooked! Love the group dance at the end. I tried to convice Mrs Shockprowl to let me get Piglet a Nicky Nonk toy for her birthday, but she said it was too babyish-a-toy. boooo. |

I currently have an obsession with watching Trumpton and its sequels Camberwick Green and Chigley on the Nick Jnr channel at the moment. Some of the episodes are so unintentionally hilarious I've become addicted to them!

What's the quality like on them as some of the eps on DVD are dire ?
There's some nicked musical queus from Trumpton in in Night Garden - in particular there's a bit from the Fire Brigade Roll Call that crops up when the Tomliboos are about to clean their teeth.

Really? It's an odd thought that! Somebody saying 'Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub' just as they're about to clean their teeth!

I'll have to catch an episode of this sometime. It sounds surreal enough for my liking!

I've just watched an episode of this on Youtube. Surreal isn't the word! I was left wondering why that airship that floats around sounds like it's suffering from terminal flatulence.

Jonathan used to scream when Makka Pakka's Trumpet makes a Funny Noise was on. Now he laughs.

I wonder if it was really apropriate for CBeebies to show a Night Garden episode where the Pink Ponk had a ponk with the Tomliboo bush today.

I've not really seen ITNG until recently, as my two-year-old nephew is hooked. (Seriously, his morning is planned around it.)
I don't understand how Makka Pakka is massively larger than the Ninky Nonk yet also smaller than the other characters.
I saw the little blue dudes for the first time today. I've only seen the little red dudes before.
