Igglepiggle and a Haahoo

In the Night Garden is intended for children aged one to four and has been created by Anne Wood and Andy Davenport, the partnership responsible for co-creating Teletubbies.

In the Night Garden is best described as an interpretation of a nursery rhyme picture book and features lots of characters based loosely on toys, living together within a happy and caring community.

Like all good stories, In the Night Garden takes children on an imaginative journey and during each episode children will encounter a variety of interesting and unique spaces and characters and will be encouraged to make their own connections amongst them.

The In the Night Garden community is populated with a group of diverse characters that interact and care for one another. They do so in spite of the substantial differences in their individual sizes.

Each character has their own unique song and dance, with Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy playing important roles as their emotional and comic interaction are an essential part of the narratives of many of the episodes.
