First International Sale of In The Night Garden
BBC Worldwide Australasia has made the first international sale of new children's property In the Night Garden to New Zealand's TVNZ, it was announced today at BBC Showcase.
The landmark new children's series from Ragdoll Ltd, the team behind Teletubbies, was specially created to appeal to very young children.

It is a Ragdoll Limited production for CBeebies. Hasbro Inc has been awarded the master toy licence.
"In The Night Garden is just enchanting" said Melanie Owen, BBC Worldwide's Sales Manager, NZ. "It is funny, reassuring and inspiring entertainment for young children and their carers."
