DS is 22ms. We watch In the Night Garden everyday, buy the magazines, have the toys etc.

But he has suddenly started totally freaking out, I sat and watched it with him today and it's whenever the Pinky Ponk comes on. He was screaming shouting 'NOOOOOO, mummy, NOOOOOOO!' And shakes when he thinks it's coming.
And then all evening he's been asking about all the characters, as if he is checkin they are all ok.

Anyone else experiencing this???

My almost five year old nephew is afraid of the entire show. He's also afraid of the scarecrow thing in Bob the Builder and the seagulls in Finding Nemo. I mean real hide-beind-his-mum-whimpering fear. He is frankly a total wuss. My nine-month old adores the Pinky Ponk, especially when it ponks.

(Am I the only one who sniggers when Derek Jacobi says 'oooh that was a big ponk'?)

DS1 is 3 but still gets a bit funny about the Pinky Ponk! Grin He used to be fine with it and then took against it aged about 2. Would have a mini 5 second meltdown if it wasn't the Ninky Nonk.

Everyone seems to prefer the train thing to the airship thing. Makes me wonder what sort of toddler focus group research they did!
