Does your child love In The Night Garden?  Does your son or daughter love building blocks? Well, here’s some good news!
BBC Worldwide has forged a deal with Mega Brands, which owns the  Mega Bloks brand, to create playsets based on In the Night Garden.  That’s right – Igglepiggle and Makka Pakke will be recreated in all their blocky glory!  Expect to see the new sets in the shops in time for Christmas 2009.

Starting this Monday (9th Feb) a run of new In The Night Garden episodes will be shown on CBeebies and, for the first time, on the BBC HD channel.
Continuing as a staple of the CBeebies Bedtime Hour, 20 brand new episodes will be broadcast simultaneously on both channels at 6pm.  So now you can watch Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and the rest of the Night Garden residents even clearer than before!

You may have noticed that since Monday, Chris Jarvis and Pui Fan Lee have been notably absent from CBeebies. Instead two new faces have been presenting Discover & Do and The Bedtime Hour to allow Chris and Pui time to make their new show, Show Me Show Me, which airs later this year.
Alex Winters, a 32-year-old trained actor, has previously appeared as a supporting artist in Torchwood and Doctor Who, as well as several theatre projects.  Interesting fact: he also works as a picture framer!
Alex is not a stranger …

Rainbow Adventure is a “my first board game”. It is easy, colourful and fun. Follow the rainbow path through the garden, collecting tokens on the way. Visit Makka Pakka’s cave, the gazebo and the Pontipines house and collect your 6 tokens. The first player to get to the end of the rainbow path wins the game! 3 Years +
