In The Night Garden

In the Night Garden is a magical place that exists between the waking and sleeping imagination of children and is close to the representation of a nursery rhyme. The Garden is inhabited by toy characters that all look out for each other and play a vital role to it's community. Iggle Piggle is a visitor to the Night Garden, arriving in his blue boat, using his trademark red blankie as a sail.

The TV programme always begins with a different child drifting off to sleep and always ends with putting the characters to bed. In between it is full of surprises, just like every child's day. Different structural markers have been placed in the show to provide a clear and reassuring narrative. But the most reassuring and recognisable element of the show is provided by its cast of characters - simple, unchanging, affectionate and funny.
