Episode 2: Tobermory Sees Trouble Ahead
Exactly which Womble will accompany Great Uncle Bulgaria on his overseas trip? And who's going to run the burrow while he's away? Richard E Grant reads, directed by Johnny Vegas.
The Wombles live under Wimbledon Common, and it is their special responsibility to 'tidy up' everything that untidy human beings leave behind.
In this series, the Wombles are back at their old burrow underneath Wimbledon Common. There's a Womble world shortage of 'this and that' and Great Uncle Bulgaria is called over to America to attend a crisis summit. Back home, a visit from Cousin Botany is full of surprise and new invention.
Full of fun and warmth, with an underpinning environmental message, The Wombles to the Rescue 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 all the family to enjoy.
Episode 2: Tobermory Sees Trouble Ahead
All the young Wombles are far too excited about being back in their old home burrow to notice that Great Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory and Madame Cholet are rather quiet and thoughtful. Exactly who will accompany Great Uncle Bulgaria on his overseas trip? And who's going to run the burrow while he's away?
