Thousands of parents have been left horrified after seeing Google’s top suggested search term if you enter the name of the popular CBeebies show, In the Night Garden
Parents have expressed their shock and amusement in equal measure after one person was left horrified by searching on Google for ‘In the Night Garden’. The show first arrived on CBeebies in 2007 and follows the adventures of several characters including Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka.
It quickly became a hit among young children and toddlers, spanning exactly 100 episodes and inspiring a wide range of clothing, toys and merchandise. A screenshot of the Google search was shared to X, meanwhile, which later made it’s way to Facebook’s ‘Great British Memes’ page, under the caption: “Googled In the Night Garden and didn’t expect this to show up as a related question.”
The post saw the parent hilariously include their top Google search suggestion, which read, ‘People also ask: Is Upsy Daisy a sl*g?’, which prompted thousands of parents to share their thoughts.
One Facebook user who couldn’t help but see the funny side, quipped in response: “As a parent who suffered many years watching that trollop dance around teasing everyone in sight… the answer to that question is a very clear ‘yes!'”
A second person joked: “Always said she was! Dragging her bed around and lifting her skirt!”
A third added: “You’ve irked a memory of watching In the Night Garden when my youngest was little! I always thought she was a bit fruity.”
Whilst a fourth Facebook user confessed: “I’ve actually Googled this myself after sitting through an episode called Upsy Daisy Kisses Everything!”
Others appeared to be a little more taken aback, however, including one individual who declared: “Well I’ll never watch In the Night Garden the same way again.”
Another added: “I’ll need to watch CBeebies at 6.25 tonight to see this in action.”
And a third said: “I think in the future a psychologist will study in the night garden and reveal it was a cult.”
Despite ceasing production in 2009, In the Night Garden remains a popular show for youngsters to this day with episodes airing daily and all episodes available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
In the Night Garden’s website says of the character in question: “Upsy Daisy is a happy and optimistic dolly. She loves nothing more than to dance through the garden and often convinces other character to join in.
“One of her favourite things is her bed, which has a mind of its own and can often be seen chasing her around the garden.”
The site details the programme further: “In the Night Garden is about a magical picture-book place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child’s imagination. Inhabited by a diverse community of loveable characters that care for each other unconditionally, such as Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka.
“In the Night Garden has been shot in a real woodland setting in the UK. It makes use of innovations in live character costume technology and CG animation, weaving these together within a stunning natural setting to create a compelling and fully immersive experience for young children. It has been devised and produced by Teletubbies creators, Anne Wood and Andy Davenport.”
