Unfortunately, there is so much noise coming from the Tombliboo's house that she can't make herself heard. Finally, all is well when everyone sings together. The episodes end with the Tittifers singing their song, and then one character gets ready to go to sleep. At the same time, they hear a bedtime story, which is generated by the magical gazebo that sits at the centre of the Night Garden. This story is a summary of the plot of the episode, which was animated using Adobe Animate (then known as Adobe Flash when the show was in production). Sometimes the characters all dance together under the Gazebo. Then we see all the characters except for Igglepiggle going to sleep, while Igglepiggle delivers his goodbye sequence. Then the theme music plays as the Night Garden turns and retreats into the night sky and Igglepiggle is seen asleep on his boat as the end credits roll over. Set in the magical picture-book place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child's imagination and narrated by Sir Derek Jacobi, In the Night Garden has held children across the nation in rapt delight since its launch in early 2007.
