In the Night Garden is best described as a modern televisual interpretation of a nursery rhyme picture book. It is about a magical place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child's imagination. It is a place inhabited by a community of toy characters that care for each other and have fun together.
Upsy Daisy is riding in the Pinky Ponk when she sees her bed. She gets off the Pinky Ponk and decides to have a rest in her bed. Igglepiggle is trying to find somewhere soft to have a rest. Upsy Daisy gets up after her rest and goes for a walk. Igglepiggle then gets into Upsy Daisy's bed. Only Upsy Daisy is allowed to sleep in Upsy Daisy's bed and Upsy Daisy is coming back! Out jumps Igglepiggle and off they chase - what fun!
Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy are best friends. And so begins In The Night Garden… a thoroughly modern interpretation of a nursery rhyme picture book that takes children on an imaginative journey to meet a host of wonderfully silly characters living together within a happy and caring community.
