Episode 4: Bungo's Great Adventure

Orinoco's been finding the winter famine particularly tough and an impulsive incident leads to a rescue mission for his best friend Bungo. Performed by Richard E Grant.

The Wombles live under Wimbledon Common, and it is their special responsibility to 'tidy up' everything that untidy human beings leave behind.

Radio 4 and 大象传媒 Sounds celebrate these much loved classic characters, marking 50 years since The Wombles first appeared on the 大象传媒.

This joyful festive listen is based on the original books by Elisabeth Beresford, performed by Richard E Grant, directed by Johnny Vegas and nestled in a new soundscape for Christmas 2023.

Full of fun and warmth, with an underpinning environmental message - this is novelty and nostalgia combined and a gift of Christmas comfort-listening for all to enjoy.
