I love how the Talking Womble “says Wombleish phrases”.

Top of the Pops (11th April 1974). The Wombles hold the number 20 spot with Remember You're A Womble.

I’m looking forward to following your adventures! Hope it all goes smoothly.

Our Wombles themed trip from New Zealand to Europe and the UK is coming up soon! I've started a blog about it here: open.substack.com/pub/twogomad...

A row of light blue A-frame tents pitched on a grassy field. In front of each tent, several low camping beds are neatly arranged in rows, each made up with a thin mattress, a brown sleeping bag or blanket, and a white pillow. Two young boys are seen tidying the beds and a Womble toy is propped up on one of the pillows. In the background, there is a small orange tent and a grassy, wooded hillside under an overcast sky.

Spot the Womble! Hopefully Orinoco (and the school children) made it inside the tents before dark! Another great photo from the Peak District National Park image archive of a school party prepping their camp beds at Barn Farm, Birchover in the late #1970s.

Heeerrrrbidacious! Another anniversary of a fabulous children's classic. The Herbs began #OTD in 1968. And @radiotimes.bsky.social photographed animator Ivor Wood with Parsley the Lion and Bayleaf the Gardener. More on the wonderful Ivor Wood here: www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/mag... 🌻🦉

Loved The Wombles.
I think the name thing helped get me (and my parents, who probably bought the books) interested. Don't think I'm an actual relation though...

Happy Wombles day! The TV series began #OTD in 1973, when @radiotimes.bsky.social went to take a photo of series animator Ivor Wood and Wombles creator Elisabeth Beresford, but Orinoco and Great Uncle Bulgaria got in the way...

Elisabeth's name is spelt wrongly on early episodes like this one 😁

The first episode of The Wombles was originally broadcast on this day in 1973. The series was based on the books by Elisabeth Beresford, directed and animated by Ivor Wood and narrated by Bernard Cribbins. Mike Batt provided the memorable theme tune.

Common vision: 50 years of The Wombles on TV It's 50 years since The Wombles first appeared on our TV screens in stop-motion animation, starting on 5 February 1973 on BBC1.

The Wombles TV series began on this day in 1973. Here’s my in-depth article, originally written for the 40th anniversary and slightly updated for the 50th in 2023.

This page from a Gamleys catalogue features a wide selection of soft toys, including cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry, plus pandas, bears, monkeys, and other animals.

After finding my Bungo Womble teddy, my youngest has started searching for all the old Wombles episodes on YouTube. He's been going round the house singing 'Wimbles of Wombledon common are we' and it's just too cute 🥰

Also, found a Wombles book in the chazza!

So last year I found a cloth pull-string Woody doll on the beach. Today it's a stuffed Womble 🎉🌊😆 #beachclean #CowalPeninsula #ArgyllScotland #FirthofClyde #theClyde

The Wombles - Super Womble TOTP 24.07.1975 YouTube video by Zero Swamp

That time the Wombles did a tribute to early Rolling Stones.

Can you imagine how much those suits honked after being under the lights at TOTP multiple times.

(Though of course they were real so they're not suits)

An image of a TV screen, featuring a white man. In the background is a shelf that has some flowers, a little stuffed pig and a cuddly toy that is a Womble, a children's programme creature that was unknown in the US at the time (and probably still now). The subtitle says 'What the hell's going on here?'.

A close-up of the Womble. I cannot fathom how this happened.

A poster for the 1980 film BRUBAKER, starring Robert Redford.

Watched a 1980 film made in Ohio and for reasons probably known only to a long-dead set dresser, there was a WOMBLE in one of the scenes. The subtitle says it all for me.

Happy birthday, Paddington! The TV series began #OTD 50 years ago, based on the books of Michael Bond, narrated by Michael Hordern and animated and directed by Ivor Wood. @radiotimes.bsky.social celebrated the wonderful work of Ivor Wood last year... www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/mag...

Remembering Bernard Cribbins, born this day in 1928.

Wombling merry Christmas presents Give your loved ones the gift of wombling, or get some ideas for your own festive wishlist. Just don't forget to reuse or recycle the wrapping paper!

Those are some of my favourite songs too!

The albums are still on other streaming services, or there’s a 4 CD box set.

I think it was through this programme that I learnt that Tomsk wasn’t just the name of a Womble

A Wombles dvd cover, showing a picture of Tobermory and that it was free with the Sunday Times

Rooting about in the DVD drawer I just found this tucked behind two cases, I’m guessing it must be over 20yrs old. The return to physical media marches on and if anyone wants me, I’ll be Wombling free.

The pressie haul from the other half (bail pliers, glasses case, pinny and awesome Dan Dare book) and his sister (Wombles stamps and awesome Wombles book).
I'm stuffed full of Christmas nibbles and potentially in need of a nap.

Rarely heard Wombling Merry Christmas on the radio just now and it is every bit as good as Slade or Wizzard.
