Let's admit, Teletubbies was weird. You got 4 humanoid babies with TVs in their stomachs and they live with a sentient vaccum cleaner. You've all seen the criticism. But what not all of you have seen is the amazing other popular show by Ragdoll, In The Night Garden...
In The Night Garden is this one children's series that gets pretty much everything right. The characters are likable, the music is awesome, the setting is beautiful... You get the idea. Instead of creepy humanoid babies, we have the cinematic masterpiece that is Igglepiggle! The star of this show is adorable. He's quite energetic and enthusiastic, pretty positive too, but like all toddlers, he needs a hand often and he gets that from his equally likable friends. Upsy Daisy is the generic girl overall, but there's just something unique about her. Makka Pakka is a car wash host- let's hope he never gets fired -, the tombliboos are cute, the Pontipine parents need to be fudging arrested and their children given to their neighbours, The wottingers.
If you want a change of pace In terms of characters in the show, just watch episodes where the Haahoos appear for some time. I swear they are the best characters in he show lol.
Then you have 2 vehicles but they don't matter really.
Anne and Andrew were GENIUSES when coming up with concepts for this. The bedtime theme is smart enough, but JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC! In fact, there's an ENTIRE ALBUM dedicated to this aspect of the series! There's something magical about this music that makes you refuse to not keep it stuck in your head. I even almost teared up when hearing the theme tune for the first time in a while.
In The Night Garden is a perfect watch for kids and adults alike. It's easily the best show from a children's network and it deserves to be my favourite show of all time. 10/10. COULDN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH.
