It all began many years ago with Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La La and Po a.k.a. the Teletubbies. I was about 18 at the time, but I loved watching them and joining in with eh-oh, tubby toast and tubby custard.
Now there is a new successor - and I encountered it properly for the first time tonight. People - yes, intelligent adults - have been telling me for some time now about the joy and pleasure that is 'In the Night Garden'. It is a strange surreal land inhabited by characters such as Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka (who seems to have both Tourettes and O.C.D and lives on his own in a cave), the Pontipines (who have 10 little beds that they jump into), and their next door neightbours the Wattingers - they live in a tiny semi-detached house at the foot of a tree. There are also the Tombliboos with their short stumpy legs and striped tops, the Haahoos, and not forgetting the Ninky Nonk ( a train) and the Pinky Ponk (an airship that makes farting noises as it flies).
Apart from the obvious appeal to young children, and the educational aspect of it (the Pontipines were counted many times!) this is a really fabulous programme. With its quirky loveliness, when all the toys go to bed, and the lights fade to leave just stars shining in the sky, it took me back to a more carefree time and relaxed me so that I wanted to hop into bed and say goodnight as well. The perfect programme to chill out to after a long day at work! And, if you have kids, even better I imagine!

Aww, poor Makka Pakka does not have Tourette's! I agree about it making you sleepy, though - especially when the bedtime story that follows is read by Terry Wogan...zzzz... x
