In the Night Garden

The Pontipine youngsters, desperate to stay out of sight, conceal themselves to avoid the Wottingers, who are actively searching for them. Their chosen hiding place ultimately leads them into the cosy, unexpected refuge of Upsy Daisy’s bed, where they finally settle.

Hide and Seek is a programme presented in the format of a single episode. It falls under the broader category of television programmes and is identified specifically as an episode‑type entry within the series. The show’s title suggests a playful, chase‑oriented premise, and its structure is confined to the self‑contained narrative typical of an episode rather than a longer serial. The central action of the episode follows the Pontipine children as they attempt to evade the Wottingers. In their effort to stay out of sight, the youngsters find themselves inadvertently taking refuge in the bed belonging to Upsy Daisy. This sequence of events links the three parties – the Pontipine children, the pursuing Wottingers, and Upsy Daisy – in a brief but distinct encounter. The episode’s plot therefore hinges on the children's concealment and the unexpected destination of their hiding place. By the end of the story, the Pontipine children are discovered lying in Upsy Daisy’s bed, having successfully avoided the immediate presence of the Wottingers. This resolution ties together the initial chase with the final, surprising setting, completing the episode’s concise narrative arc.
