In the Night Garden

The Pontipines go for a very long walk. When they reach the Tombliboo house, the Pontipine children play a game of jumping in the Tombliboos’ trousers. Mr and Mrs Pontipine have to go home without the children again.

Upsy Daisy chooses to sing through her megaphone. The Pontipines cover their ears–what loud singing! They complain over the trubliphone, but then Makka Pakka joins in with his trumpet and they make lovely music together.

The Tombliboos have discovered a new game–hiding in the garden. Where have the Tombliboos gone? Makka Pakka arrives with his Og-Pog. He blows his trumpet and there are the Tombliboos running out from behind the bush to have their faces washed.

The ball bounces around the garden visiting one character after another. They all enjoy playing with it until it reaches Makka Pakka and his Uff-uff blows it right away.

Everyone in the Night Garden boards the Pinky Ponk for a very special journey. Up, up, up they go. Where can the Pinky Ponk be going? The Pinky Ponk went all that way to see the magical bud of the Olly Bolly Dob Dob flower.

Igglepiggle cannot find Upsy Daisy, but then he spots her bed. Upsy Daisy’s bed always knows where Upsy Daisy is. Igglepiggle follows Upsy Daisy’s bed all the way to Upsy Daisy.

The Pontipines set out on their very long walk, but look at that–everywhere they go their next door neighbours, the Wottingers, are there before them. They wave to the Wottingers and the Wottingers wave back, all round the garden until they are all safely home again.

Makka Pakka is busy cleaning stones in the garden when his Og-Pog runs away by itself. Makka Pakka and everyone in the garden give chase, but only the clever Pontipine children know how to stop it. Then Makka Pakka has his Og-Pog back safe and sound.

Upsy Daisy is asleep in her bed when the ball bounces into the garden. While Upsy Daisy plays with the ball, Igglepiggle decides to go to sleep in Upsy Daisy’s bed. Only Upsy Daisy is allowed to sleep in Upsy Daisy’s bed. Upsy Daisy discovers Igglepiggle and chases him round and round. What will happen when Upsy Daisy leaves her bed to play with the ball again?

Everyone is enjoying a ride on the Pinky Ponk, but Tombliboo Ooo is more interested in drinking all the Pinky Ponk juice. Inevitably his tummy is too full so Tombliboo Unn and Tombliboo Eee help him to bed and play music to make him feel better.

Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy are best friends, but today Igglepiggle cannot find Upsy Daisy. He asks Makka Pakka. He asks the Tombliboos, until finally Upsy Daisy’s bed leads him back to Upsy Daisy.

The Tombliboos explore inside their house. It is full of interesting spaces, stairs to climb and slides to slide down. Today they go right to the top of their house-each one higher than the next-but down below Makka Pakka is waiting to wash their faces so they must come all the way down again.

The Tombliboos have a very busy day. First they ride on the Pinky Ponk, then they explore the garden and finally, they return to their house to clean their teeth before bedtime.

Everyone goes for a ride on the Ninky Nonk, but the teeny tiny Pontipines are left behind. They chase the Ninky Nonk all around the garden until they finally catch it and secretly ride in their own special carriage.

Igglepiggle is dancing in the garden when he loses his blanket. It has fallen on top of the teeny tiny Pontipine house. What are the little Pontipines to do? Mr Pontipine repeatedly rings Igglepiggle on the Trubliphone until, at last, Igglepiggle comes to where the blanket has fallen. Igglepiggle is thrilled to have his blanket back, the Pontipines can see out of the window again and everyone is happy.

Igglepiggle discovers the stones, which Makka Pakka has most carefully tidied into a special pattern. Dancing on his way, Igglepiggle accidentally knocks over the stones. He tries to put them back as they were, but somehow they are never quite right. Makka Pakka returns and cheerfully restores the stones to perfect order.

Upsy Daisy loves the garden so much; she frequently happily kisses everything around her. Today, when she kisses a flower, the bridge, a tree–magical things happen. The bridge plays music, the flower grows, the tree sheds beautiful blossom.

The Tombliboos are playing inside their house, but Tombliboo Eee cannot decide what to do. She doesn’t want to play with the drums like Tombliboo Unn. She doesn’t want to play with the bricks like Tombliboo Ooo. Tombliboo Eee wanted to play the piano–soon all the Tombliboos are playing happily together following each other.

The ball is bouncing all over the garden. It accidentally knocks over Makka Pakka’s pile of stones and bounces happily away. Makka Pakka rebuilds his stones and protects them from the bouncing ball only for the ball to accidentally knock him over too. The ball is always a lot of fun.

The Pontipines are out for a walk in the garden when the children stay behind in the pile of stones. Inside the Tombliboo house the Tombliboos build an arch out of their bricks. The Pontipine children make an arch out of the stones. All play going under and through.
