    I have just seen...

    "In the night garden" on CBBC - perhaps the strangest TV program I have seen for a while. No wonder the youth of today is so flipped up.

    Anybody else seen something strange recently?

    Was this by accident? I assume most of the parents of young children on the board will have heard of it.

    Its not so different to when we grew up though is it? No-one can really argue that Jamie and his Magic Torch wasn't the product of a drug addled brain!

        Oh, and in answer to your question I was out at lunch the other day and a woman dropped her keks and took a slash in the street - does that count? I'd be hard pushed to attribute it to "In the Night Garden" though.

          I assume that this was the product of a drug addled brain too I hasten to add.

            My 4 yr old rants away in dutch and he recently started blurting out something that sounds like a well-dodgy bit of flemish sweariness. Turns out it is also the name of one of the characters in 'In the Night Garden" - tricky one to explain in the supermarket queue

                    My niece was over last week and we put this on.

                    She was absolutely mesmerised by it and couldn't take her eyes off the TV.

                    Was weird sh1t to me but, judging by my nieces reaction (she's 12 months old), the people who created this know what they are doing.
