In Wimbledon Common live curious creatures called Wombles, small furry fellows who dedicate themselves to collecting all the litter humans leave behind and putting it to good use. In addition to this environmental crusade, we follow their various adventures as this collection of very different individuals get along with their eccentricities and habits often getting them into odd situations.Written by

Wimbledon Football Club (now called AFC Wimbledon) acquired the the nickname 'The Wombles' from the 1980s onwards such was the cultural impact of this series in the UK. Elisabeth Beresford even drew up a new Womble called 'Haydon' as the club mascot. See more »
I Love the wombles and I always have. My favorite character is Orinoco Because he is lazy and likes eating. I also like Bungo because he is Clumsy and over enthusiastic. Wellington is good because he is Scientifically inclined. He is shy but very clever. I love Tomsk Because he is ever energetic and athletic. I've always liked Great Uncle Bulgaria. He is the oldest and wisest Womble. Tobermory is an Engineer and is also a handy man. I admire Madame Cholet because she's The French Cook! I like the idea of them going around Wimbledon Common, putting litter in their tidy bags. They live in burrows. I like Superwomble and OOW!
