WOMBLES

The Wombles are a group of musicians, singers, litter-pickers and eco-warriors based in Wimbledon, London and were originally created by Elisabeth Beresford in 1968 in a series of books for children. The Wombles got their big break when they were the subject of a daily show on BBC on children’s television between 1973 and 1975 wherein they were voiced by Bernard Cribbins, and made their chart debut in January 1974 with their theme tune The Wombling Song. The Wombles’ songs were the work of singer and songwriter Mike Batt, who took to wearing a full Womble outfit made for him by his mum, and helped to make The Wombles the biggest singles act of 1974.
