For the first time ever, every classic episode of ‘The Wombles' is now available fully restored and presented from hi-definition masters. This set contains all 60 episodes, a total of nearly 5 hours of outstanding Wombles action for you to enjoy over and over again.
Based on the books written by Elisabeth Beresford and brought to life by the beloved Bernard Cribbins, these eco-conscious lovable creatures first appeared on British TV in the mid 70’s and have since become cherished icons of British pop culture.
Ivor Wood (‘Paddington', ‘Postman Pat', ‘Charlie Chalk') directed and animated the series. The original books described wombles as “a bit like teddy bears to look at but they have real claws and live beneath Wimbledon Common”. When the animated series was being developed Wood had to redesign the characters to make them less like teddy bears as it was thought there were too many other bear characters around at the time.
The series’ theme tune was written by songwriter and producer Mike Batt. Instead of a £200 composers fee he negotiated the musical rights to the characters.
The Wombles live in burrows hidden below Wimbledon Common. The series follows their adventures and individual eccentricities as they spend days collecting and making good use of the things that everyday folk leave behind.
