AIBU?

Aibu to think that In The Night Garden is a work of genius?

That's it really.

Result of a night smoking pot and eating special mushrooms perhaps, but some of the best artwork was done under the influence of opium/laudanum back in the day.

In generations to come they will look back on ITNG and hail it as an all time classic of the children's TV genre.

Not on a par with the glory days of Pat's Fun House and Mallet's Wackaday work of course. But nonetheless a work of genius.

Are Iggle piggle and upsy daisy goose-stepping?

They certainly like kissing each other.

I can't look at David Cameron without seeing Iggle Piggle's face- separated at birth they were.

We love it! Both my DSs loved it. I will be sad when ds2 grows out of it!

YANBU I really regret that my DC are outgrowing ITNG, I no longer have a real excuse to watch it.
I might keep the DVDs though - they can watch it in their teens when drinking and experimenting with hallucinogenics.

It is a work of genius in that it mesmerises toddlers and is very well done in that respect. DS used to love it. But it used to drive me up the wall.
I'm glad DS has now moved onto Abney and Teal, which seems to be the least annoying CBeebies programme.

I love it too... My ds looks just like a tombliboo so they are my favourites... Especially when they take their trousers off in the ninky nonk!

I dislike upsy daisy though... I think it's her skirt, it just screams ladybird from woolworths circa 1996.

I often sit and watch even if ds has wondered off to play elsewhere.

I could watch ITNG all day. DS loves the bedtime stories book as well. I heard the series is ending soon. I will be gutted if it does.

Series? It's just one episode! Or is that really just me? Admittedly I deliberately paid more attention today and noticed more snogging between daisy and piggle than I had noticed before... Bt could that be because I delibereately untranced myself?
