Observer

I'm indifferent to every other show aimed at my children, but I'm nuts about In the Night Garden ... I love it because of its inventiveness, the sunlight moving on the grass, the hurdy-gurdy quality of the music, the good-naturedness of all the characters, and Sir Derek Jacobi's marvellously solemn voiceover ... But I only understand half of what's going on. My children, on the other hand, understand it all. My son, a few months shy of three, is possessed by it. It speaks to him. These are his fantasies; these are his people.
