Hate this program so much but my little one is all about it at the moment. What is so good about it?! The only characters that don't appear to suck are the Haa Hoos and that mad toucan

Grin

Some kids progs seem better than adults TV!!

Angelto5 · 04/01/2016 13:14

Better than teletubbies!Angry

CoffeeCoffeeAndLotsOfIt · 04/01/2016 13:17

It makes my skin crawl. The porcupines or whatever the little things are freak me out. I just don't put it on for my ds.

I'm shivering at the thought of it!

MrsAxewound · 04/01/2016 13:19

I've so far managed to avoid the new Teletubbies, thank God Wink
Doves Totally, I want to punch her in the face Grin or y'know, just turn the TV off when she appears!

Hmm. I can take ITNG. DD does the lovely little stroking her palm thing at the beginning at bedtime now

However - I'd just like to take the opportunity to say FUCKING BING!!!!!!!!

STOP with your bloody winging and whining will you for the love.of.god!

As you were.

UmbongoUnchained · 04/01/2016 13:26

I'm watching Bing right now.... I hate him. I actually want to just slap him.

MrsAxewound · 04/01/2016 13:26

Eponas don't! Bing is a WHOLE other thread! Wink I got so riled watching that before I ended up shouting and swearing at the TV in front of the little one. I was so ashamed! Blush We try and avoid Bing these days!

ITNG was so rude I laughed through it. Much better than postman pat.

Filiboom · 04/01/2016 14:27

Someone, I think on here, said that Iggle Piggle looked like David Cameron and now that's all I can think of when I watch it. (They were right!)

PiperIsTerrysChoclateOrange · 04/01/2016 14:42

Relish itng Bing and even teletubbies.

Better than bloody YouTube. Currently listening to Chases corner.

HazzaB89 · 04/01/2016 18:36

Watching ITNG right now. DD knows it's time for milk & bed when it comes on. Bing on the other hand is a twat. God I hate that rabbit.

Luckystar1 · 04/01/2016 18:44

Look up postman Patrick on YouTube (it's the Irish one) it makes of these things bearable.

Buxtonstill · 04/01/2016 18:48

So if Iggle Piggle lives on a boat, how come you never seeing him sailing into the garden harbour? I think the night garden is all in his head, and the Tombliboos et al are all in his imagination...

RaskolnikovsGarret · 04/01/2016 19:06

I loved ITNG esp the music and boat thing at the end!

FairyFluffbum · 04/01/2016 19:08

I like itng music Blush

My dh hates it

I wonder where they got the names for the tittifers though

EponasWildDaughter · 04/01/2016 19:08

I thought the Fondliboobs et al in the garden were his dreams; while sailing in the boat. On the dark sea of the unconscious.

Mumberjack · 04/01/2016 19:29

I thought iggle piggle was actually dead and the boat was going to take him to the afterlife. Hence his reluctance to 'go to bed'.

Bing Bunny is simply a kids format of casualty. It all looks safe and fine but there's the undercurrent of doom as somethings going to happen to make the little bastard go in a huff.

JeannePoole · 04/01/2016 19:53

Iggle Piggle isn't David Cameron; he's Andy Burnham. The eyelids are a dead giveaway.

redexpat · 04/01/2016 20:19

I just want Derek Jakobi to sing the Iggle Piggle song properly. Just ONCE Derek!

LauraMipsum · 04/01/2016 20:28

I love ITNG and I want to move in to the Tombliboos' cool tree / bush multilevel house with slides.

The Pontipines are clearly a miniature militia though.

summerdreams · 04/01/2016 20:31

Hate it I'm forced to watch it everyday and my son doesn't get the hole night garden sleep association completely escapes him Hmm his first to words he put together where upsy daisy how bloody depressing.

schlong · 04/01/2016 20:53

Sexy voiced Mark Rylance as Flop makes Bing a must watch in our house. DS moans though!

PandoNoPants · 04/01/2016 20:58

DS used to be terrified of that toucan or "tookie" as he used to call it!

NotAWhaleOmeletteInSight · 04/01/2016 21:15

Argh, INTG. Dd loves it though and it's become an integral part of the pre-bathtime ritual. It also continues into bathtime as we've got a boat toy thingy with IP and UD in it. They have to have their teeth brushed before dd will allow us near hers too. Sigh.

BING on the other hand... God I hate that damn bunny. Whiney, whingy and wimpish. And Flop. Ffs. You know he's that simpering parent who attempts to negotiate but loses every argument with toddlers. Also I bet he never intervenes effectively when Bing tramples other children with his massive paws at soft play.

Hate. The. Bunny. Angry
