Remember the Wombles? Those wonderfully weird, pointy-nosed, rubbish-collecting creatures that roamed Wimbledon Common? Well, dust off your satchel, because they’re back in a shiny new Wombles Blu-ray collection, one year after their 50th anniversary.
That’s right, folks. Every single classic episode of The Wombles, lovingly voiced by the legendary Bernard Cribbins and created by the brilliant Elizabeth Beresford, has been meticulously restored and is ready to invade your living room in glorious high definition.
But wait, there’s more! This treasure trove of a collection also includes the 1977 feature film, Wombling Free, on a bonus DVD. Now you can relive the entire Wombling saga, from their telly adventures to their big-screen debut.
And for those of you who crave a deeper dive into the world of Wombling, fear not! The Blu-ray set boasts a treasure trove of special features. We’re talking documentaries on the show’s creation and restoration, chats with the original cast and crew, and even a featurette dedicated to Mike Batt, the musical mastermind behind the iconic Wombles theme song.
So, whether you’re a nostalgic child of the 70s or just curious about these eco-conscious, rubbish-rearranging rodents, this Blu-ray collection is a must-have. Pre-orders for the Wombles Blu-ray are open now, and the official release date is November 18th – just in time to become the ultimate stocking stuffer for any Brit-loving telly addict.
