The characters of the 1991 puzzle game Lemmings were inspired by Elisabeth Beresford's The Wombles (1968).
The Wombles help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish, and like the Lemmings, they also live in burrows!

5th February 1973: #TheWombles made their television debut in the UK.
They were created by #ElisabethBeresford and originally appeared in a series of children's novels from 1968. They also had a number of novelty songs which became hits in the British music charts.

Not one of their best TBH
(sorry Mike)

Three days later, I decided to enter the Womble rabbit hole.
I like the characters, the short stories, and the message they send. Funny enough, I started on a day that preaches everything against their principles these days: consumerism and too much waste 🤔.

The best Christmas song is "Wombling Merry Christmas" by The Wombles. Change my mind!
What's your favourite Christmas song?

Book cover: “The Wombles: Beautiful Boating Weather” by Elisabeth Beresford (Hodder Children’s Books, 1998)
A slight (14-page) picture book adapted by Elisabeth Beresford from the 1997 TV series (itself derived from her MG novels)! The Wombles prove as loveable as ever, the pictures here being taken directly from the show, but there’s nothing of independent merit. #TheWombles #BeautifulBoatingWeather
Same Xmas tracks every year on the radio. Never hear this classic one though 🙂🎄 #TheWombles #MikeBatt
