One of the good things about being a dad is that you get to watch Children's TV. I have recently discovered "In the Night Garden" which is quite easily the best thing on television.
My daughter and I watch it every night before bedtime. Most of the humour seems to come from people falling over, and that's clearly something which is hysterical both to the 40 year old and the 20 month old in equal measure. We often decend into helpless laughter as characters tumble down hills.
I was talking to my pal The Droll One the other day. He has also crossed the rubico and is a parent, and like me is a Night Garden addict. He correctly pointed out that it is clearly the best programme on telly because you never ever watch it and feel worse. Whenever you watch it, you always turn the TV off afterwards and feel that the world is an inherantly good place.
Here is my brief guide to the most important characters -
The Tumbleyboos love their trousers.
Macca Pacca pats his sponge
Iggle Piggle is always late for bed
Upsy Daisy's skirt inflates
The Pontypines are there to be counted
Nightcap
