Gardenites today got a glimpse at their lives through the lens of 'Reality TV' as they previewed several episodes of 'In the Night Garden', a television production which has recently completed filming in the garden. 'In the Night Garden' has followed the daily lives of several Gardenites, showcasing their 'upsys and downsies' in the words of the media release for the show. However, following the

A new dance craze has hit the garden, with gardenites swinging their arms from side to side and clapping awkwardly. The Makka-Pakka-rena, as it is known, is so popular that it looks set to be even bigger than the Iggle Piggle Shuffle craze of the early 1990's. The dance, which is often performed to the beat of a nonsense word chant, has become so pervasive that the teeny tiny Pontipines have '

Ninky-Nonk Inc have announced sweeping improvements to the safety of the Ninky-Nonk, with the implementation of several new safety measures. The measures will address the Night Garden Safety Authority (NGSA) Standard 0572 ('Injury Avoidance Measures for Night Garden Public Transportation Systems') which was developed, says an NGSA representative, in response to last month's Ponking injury (for

The night garden has experienced the worst day of trading in living memory as stone stocks took a large hit today on the exchange. The Gazebo bought news of the crash to gardenites who could only watch in horror as the story unfolded. 'My hair stood on end,' said one witness, 'I just couldn't believe it'. Not enough spending: experts Experts believe sub-prime lending on houses, bushes and caves,

In the second of our in-depth profiles of night gardenites we meet the always enigmatic and often surprising HaaHoos. A walk among HaaHoos is a walk among gentle giants. They bounce, sway, and smile at our crew as we make our way toward their leader, HaaHoo X, who has agreed to give The Daily readers an inside look at HaaHoo life. The first thing people should know about the HaaHoos, says X, is

The Pinky-Ponk has been grounded indefinitely after several serious mid-air collisions with notorious night garden menace the Ball. Observers say that the Ball deliberately targetted the Pinky-Ponk, which at one point was knocked into a tailspin. The Pinky-Ponk sent out two mayday hails over the trubliphone network but managed to recover just seconds from what would have been a crash landing on

Daisy Do!  Upsy Daisy NGMI The title says it all on Daisy's fifth studio album. Daisy Do! is an intimate album, inspired, says Daisy by her deeply rooted love of music and singing. More experimental than previous albums, Daisy Do! is a mesh of styles from the operatic "Ah-ah-ah-ah Daisy" to the reggae inspired "Do-Daisy-Do". "Pip-pip Onk-onk" combines racing melodies, soaring harmonies

Portly gardenite Makka Pakka has recently been seen sporting a more svelt figure. Speaking exclusively to The Daily, Pakka reveals that his fat-busting fitness secret is simple: stone lifting. 'Actually the weight's been coming off gradually ever since I became interested in stones. I feel lighter every day', he stated.

Night garden authorities are seeking information as to the whereabouts of the Ball, after several reports of public nuisance and grevious bodily harm. The Ball has not been seen since it bounced into Makka Pakka, knocking him into his Ogg-Pogg. Witnesses say that this act was deliberate, and sources report that it is only one of a string of similar incidents. Sneaky tactics Iggle Piggle, who

Residents who elect to ride the Pinky-Ponk around the night garden may soon have a smoother ride as the night garden council considers a proposal to ban 'Ponking'. The move comes after ubiquitous garden visitor Iggle Piggle reportedly suffered an injury from falling over during a large Ponk. Piggle, who was unable to discuss his injury because of an impending lawsuit, was travelling in the

News that auditions will begin soon for The Night Garden's Got Talent has gardenites in a frenzy of excitement. The Gazebo has been confirmed as the judge, and the Disembodied Voice, known to residents as 'Barry', will be the host. 'It's the perfect role for me', said Barry, 'I'm totally comfortable saying things like 'what will you be doing today, Makka Pakka?' or 'The Tombliboos are playing

Well-known stone artist and face-washer, Makka Pakka, staged a peaceful protest in the night garden this evening.  The protest was to draw attention to 'the need for more Ninky-Nonk carriages to be made available to residents'. During the protest, Pakka parked his Og-Pog in the path of the Ninky-Nonk as it took its journey around the night garden. The protest was largely unsuccessful as the

The night garden has been rocked by admissions that well-known singer Upsy Daisy was lip syncing to a pre-recorded track at her concert last Tuesday night. 'Her lips didn't move in time with the song', said one concert attendee, 'it was a dead giveaway'. Another noted that the song she sang was identical to one that she had sung previously.

A public meeting was held today to discuss the accessibility of the night garden's public transport system. Residents raised concerns about the fact that neither the Ninky-Nonk nor Pinky-Ponk have designated stops for passengers to alight, and that the Ninky-Nonk is not easily accessible by handy-capable or pregnant residents. 'All of the carriages have stairs', explained one resident who

An innocent game of hide and seek turned to terror for eight Pontipine children in the night garden today. The children told The Daily exclusively that they were hiding in Upsy Daisy's bed when the bed began moving autonomously. The bed, a second generation Slumbertron 2000, was purchased by Upsy Daisy several years ago, and only responds to her commands. When invaded by the Pontipine children,
