In The Night Garden

[stephbg]

I happened to be in the right place at the right time to take a look at the ABC kid's program In The Night Garden. I'd heard it was especially weird, although claiming weirdness for children's programming is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel, and besides, I've not got much basis for comparison. But whoa, WTF?



What is this Iggle Piggle dude? Some kind of smurf/rooster hybrid burns victim?

Macca Pacca's sponge is all clean now, having washed it in a spray of urine from the ground? Is that what a Tiddle is? It certainly makes me want to have a pee and a good lie down. Macca Pacca appears to be an alien piglet.

Oh, now there's more Things, uh, dancing. Maybe. Words fail me,

Is this *really* the best way to grow young brains?

Ohh, Teletubbies are deeply, deeply worrisome if you do more than just glance at that show, just not for any of the stupid reasons we've seen in the media.
