My childhood memories and happier times came flooding back, thank you Wombles ❤️

Wombles for ever think there brilliant rock on Mike 👍👍👍

I'm so happy that The Wombles are back!! 🎉🎊🎉❤❤❤

The Wombles are back. I have so missed these guys. I would watch them alot as a kid my cousin Stephen and I. He liked the Wombles too. I cannot wait to tell my husband this. He liked the Wombles as a kid too. What a family tradition this would be for our children aye. The Wombles are huge part of my favourite childhood memories of childhood TV programs that I grew up watching as a kid myself. My husband too. Gosh. Now we can finally have a childhood TV program tradition to pass on to our twin children to pass on to their children our future grandchildren. Maybe my husband and I can create a special group of childhood family traditions that our children and their children our future grandchildren and future great grandchildren etc. Known as a family generation of childhood memories from their parents to their children to their grandchildren to their great grandchildren etc. That's a generation. The Wombles will be huge part of this group of childhood memories and traditions creating a legacy and a family generation.

Now that brings back memories for me when I was a kid one of my favourite

Loved the Wombles when I was younger. First children's TV characters to feature recycling and make it cool.

Bright eyes was in the charts when my Daughter was born .She had such bright ,almost black eyes,it made me cry ❤.

I was 4 yrs old wen they came out ! I ❤ them😂

More talented than 95% of music artists!

I ABSOLUTELY loved the wombles with the late grate Mr cribins

Went to see them “ live “ in the 1970s when I was 8, The telly series drilled into us kids about litter , amazing times .

I was allowed to stay up to watch the wombles on top of the pops .

Sheer joy!❤.

Mike also did the theme to ITV’s “Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings”, so, it was nice to have him on ITV again

Getting goose bumps 😮

I grew up watching the Wombles in 🇨🇦.

Remember the Wombles well. The wonderful Mike Batt who created so much music. We all have our favourites of course. I can still sing ' The Orinoco Kidd, Wombling Merry Christmas & The Wombling Song', from memory. In fact, the set up for Britain's got talent was used in the Wombling Merry Christmas video. I seem to remember that the late Bernard Cribbins had to do a public announcement to fans, to stop them from leaving stuff on Wimbledon Common, for the Wombles to collect. Oh those wonderful innocent days of my youth.

I remember the wombles when I was little and now they have 50 years what a year they had congratulations wombles

The musicality of the Wombles is phenomenal. The arrangements, the production. Remarkable. And that was Mike Batt’s doing. Wimbledon Sunset is a phenomenally beautiful piece of work. And Wellington Goes To Waterloo was just wonderful. It always feels to me that Mike Batt felt “just because this is music for kids, it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t still put in all the effort, time and production as I would for a major piece of work intended for adults”. And it really shows. I love Mike Batts work. Everyone remembers Bright Eyes, but the whole of the score for Watership Down was brilliant. The music from Dreamstone. Some brilliant orchestral music (his Christmas Overture is always played annually in my home). Not to mention the fantastic Hunting Of The Snark. And even the somewhat experimental and unusual Zero Zero - such a sad tale but with some brilliant music and innovative stage effects. My only claim to fame regards Mike Batt was that when he broke his back in Spain decades ago I was running a little greeting card shop. The lady who ran a car hire firm that Batt had used (sometimes to transport fully-costumed Wombles) purchased a get well card for Mike from my shop. This is probably the closest I’ll ever get to meeting him. It’s such a shame he was forced to sell his controlling share in the Wombles in 2017 - I understand he was very saddened that he no longer had any legal involvement in the Wombles going forward.

Wished I could go back in time

I'm from the U.S. and clearly remember, back in the early 70s, watching the Wombles on either CBS or PBS. I was a very little girl so, I don't remember the specifics but, I remember them. Such fun!

I always aspired to be Orinoco. Lazy sod but universally loved.

I remember the wombles on nick jr when i was younger under ground over ground wombleing free the wombles.

I enjoyed watching the Wombles this morning

Sorry to tell you, we do know the Wombles in NZ. I had a Orinoco tooth brush holder. Loved them

Bit of a disservice to Mike Batt there, he's not just behind the music of the wombles, but also the man behind so many great songs of so many big artists. Minuetto Allegreto was a work of musical genius, like so many others "I feel like Buddy Holly" is another favourite.

Bulgaria was arrested the other day, he was caught littering 😂😂😂

❤❤❤

I thought at the time that Status Quo are under the costumes..😂😂

They haven’t aged a day

Bring back wobbles ❤😂

That was great.. 😘🇬🇧

Womble doing the devil horns hand sign 😂 that's going to make some wokeys angry

Just what we need to get away from all the doom and gloom, and that pesky general election, The Wombles to cheer the nation up....

Remember you're a womble, how can I forget as I look in the mirror every morning in despair 😢

I was 2 when they started

💚

So sad that Bernard Cribbins isn’t alive to celebrate 😢❤

They haven't aged at all.

Just heared of the members on radio 2 doing midnight mastermind!

Oh, okay. I WASN'T hallucinating when I saw the thumbnail.

I'm a Kiwi and I used to have a wombles T shirt.

The year I was born! If I am nothing else, and believe me, I ain't much but there are three things I know to be true... No.1 - I'm a Monkee, No. 2... I'm a Goonie and No. 3... I'm a Womble! 🤙😁🤙

One of the Wombles couldn't be there, he reportedly got stuck in his bathroom again

OK its official....Im old !😄

Wait, is this why SovietWomble has his nickname?

Orinoco for pm

They haven’t aged a bit

But are they the REAL original Wombles or a tribute act? Either way, they were miming!

Skip to 8:14 if you just want to see the song, rather than all of the waffle.

Bernard Cribbins

Which ones greta thurnberg

I mean wombles😅

They not aged have they ?

fire cat deeley and axe the show

Best one is Journey to the centre of the earth

are these standing in the general election

More miming.

The series of Wombles books by Elizabeth Beresford are far superior to the cartoons and these chaps dressed up! The singing group does not show the different characters.

Move over Taylor Swift 👍
