...in being disturbed by scale in The Night Garden?

[TiggyD]

I've just seen Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy cross the little bridge in The Night Garden and they must have been nearly twice the hight of it. They then get in the purple compartment of the Ninky Nonk which looks about 4 times their height. The Ninky Nonk then crosses the bridge and is a quarter the size of it!!!??? I must say it's ruined the programme for me. The BBC wouldn't get stuff that badly wrong on one of their flagship dramas would they!?

dreadful isn't it !

But imagine how big Iggle Piggle's willy must feel...

YANBU I had to stop watching as the proportions and inconsistency disturbed me so much

I think you all should have taken more drugs when you were young

I laughed when a friend DS age 18 months tried to get into a dolls house which was much smaller than he is.

Now I know why they have no spatial awareness.

It just doesn't have the gritty realism of the Teletubbies. Everybody gets on so well with each other. I liked the simmering mutual hatred between Dipsy and Tinky Winky.

I don't know Tiggy, I have a feeling the Pontypines and the Wattingers secretly hate one another.

I think it all started when the Pontypines installed the bell in the chimney without asking if the Wattingers were ok with it.

And one of the Pontypines looks a bit purple if you know what I mean.

I can imagine Mrs Wattinger saying to Mr Wattinger, "Oh no, there's those dreadful Pontypines again. Damn, they've seen us. Wave back to the Pontypines, children. One must be civil with one's neighbours."

i think students everwhere probably now watch ITNG in a stoned-out haze instead of Teletubbies :)

I have always thought that all the characters are very self obsessed. All they ever do is say their own name over and over again

see [http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/851431-to-want-to-report-Mr-amp-Mrs-Pontipine-to-Social this thread]] for further discussion of the issues raised here.

My husband has always thought that OCD Maka Paka is saying mother fucker when saying his own name...listen and you will hear.

Never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I feel it's quite sinister that Makka Pakka is the sub-servient, tit headed cave dweller, who washes all the others because they are too lazy and decadent to wash their own faces.

He even has to sit on his own table on the Pinky Ponk.

Poor Makka Pakka also has a nasty case of hemorrhoids that nobody there seem to care about...

the worst thing was seeing an interview with the acTOR who plays Iggle Piggle. He spoke of his sweaty costume...

He just trashed the magic for me b***d!
