Tales From Fat Tulip's Garden
- Tales From Fat Tulip's Garden
"Tales from Fat Tulip's Garden" was a children's TV program in the mid 1980s, starring Tony Robinson. It was produced by Central Television and aired on British TV network ITV from 1985-87, in a 4:00pm timeslot, with each episode lasting about 10 minutes.
Robinson would tell children's stories directly to camera in an English garden setting, and would put on all the voices himself. The show was written by Debbie Gates and Robinson and carried by Robinson's unique and engaging storytelling style, which was semi-improvised. Robinson hoped to provoke the imagination and produce a sense of immediacy in contrast to the shortcomings he saw in children's television at the time.

The majority of the programme was filmed in the house and garden of Little Monkhams, a property in Woodford in the Redbridge Borough of London. Further scenes were filmed in the part of Epping Forest facing the house (Lord's Bushes and Knighton Woods)
A book of the TV series was printed in 1985. ISBN 0-590-70453-2.
