Brown, Jonathan; Robinson, Josie (18 April 2007). "In the Night Garden: Bedtime for Teletubbies". The Independent. Archived from the original on 12 December 2008 . Retrieved 11 January 2010. Elsewhere on children's TV resides Peppa Pig, leader of a porcine cult not unlike how the world would be if Napoleon, the tyrannical oinker from George Orwell's Animal Farm, had succeeded in building his totalitarian pig-state.
Another says Davenport created Iggle Piggle to look like former British prime minister David Cameron and it helped him win the general election in 2010. Before setting off to meet Davenport, I'd asked my daughter if she had a question for Iggle Piggle's daddy. "Why does Iggle Piggle have to go to bed?" she said. "That's a really interesting question," says Davenport. "He's the connection for the child, the one who goes to sleep at the beginning and enters the Night Garden. But he's also, crucially, the only character not in bed at the end. 'Somebody's not in bed – Iggle Piggle's not in bed.' Jones, Catherine (26 March 2010).

So what my theory is, is that Iggle Piggle is dying from dehydration and the events of each episode take place in his mind. As his boat floats about the ocean, the stars start turning into flowers and shit, and he imagines himself in this happy garden with his friends, who i'm not too sure ever existed in the first place. Kids are very emphatic, and understand what is going on sometimes better than adults, which is why they get upset at this ending... they know Iggle Piggle is dying and he is most likely dead by the end of the episode. They might not understand why they are getting upset, but for some reason, they know that this ending is upsetting and wrong.

The boxset Hello Everybody! (24 November 2008) includes "Hello Igglepiggle", "Hello Upsy Daisy", "Hello Makka Pakka", & "Hello Tombliboos" Now the ending is what really got me. For each episode, his friends play around for 25 mins or so. But, it's at the end that the narrator begins to tell everybody to 'go to sleep'. Unfortunately, Iggle Piggle is always seen to be awake at the end. Despite his best efforts to fall asleep, the narrator says "Its time to go". To me, this means its time for Iggle Piggle to leave the night garden and continue his days upon the boat, suffering on the never-ending sea. In the end, we see Iggle Piggle, still currently in the night garden, drifting the seas, as the sun begins to rise. Soon enough, Iggle Piggle will awake, awaiting the day when his life finally leaves him and he's able to be with his friends forever. BBC acts over light-skinned doll". BBC News. 5 January 2009.

There can be three screaming children and as soon as they hear the honking of the Ninky Nonk they turn into calm and peaceful angels, giggling hysterically and clapping their hands and twirling around and generally being gorgeous and happy and calm, lovely little cherubs.

There's Something Special where his alter ego Justin Fletcher gallivants around the countryside with two child companions doing things like narrowboat journeys or a trip to the beach, like a dull Doctor Who. There's Gigglebiz where he mostly dresses in women's clothing to not be funny. There's voice parts in half a dozen other programmes and, top of the grim heap, is Justin's House - a house in the Match of the Day studio where he lives with a gay robot and a leftover from The Muppets.

Retrieved 11 January 2010. If there’s ever been a toddler or two in your household you are no doubt familiar with the Night Garden phenomenon. It’s one of the world’s most popular children’s televison shows and features a cast of surreal characters including Iggle Piggle, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy and the Pontipines – and their adventures on the Ninky Nonk and the Pink Ponk.

Davenport has, however, forgotten the other crucial thing about Iggle Piggle: he looks very like David Cameron. "Yeah," he laughs. "People have said that. But David Cameron wasn't on my mind at any point during the devising of Iggle Piggle." Does he think it might have helped Cameron's election success? "It might have made a contribution," he says, laughing again. "Who knows?" If In the Night Garden is surreal and infuriating and annoying and too loud and too repetitive and incomprehensible that’s because THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT. It is all those things and us grown ups aren’t supposed to understand it. There are no in-jokes for parents, no wink-wink over the heads of children to let us boring oldies know that yes, it’s all a bit of silly fluff but look at the little dears, don’t they love it so? I think it’s pretty trippy, I’ve always thought that whoever writes or directs it is on some good drugs” says one friend. ”It’s the kind of TV that could really drive a sleep-deprived mum around the bend.” That was my friend Ashleigh’s immediate response when I asked her thoughts on In the Night Garden. I think it is fair to say she speaks for every single parent on the face of the Earth.
