Episode 5: The Big Splash
Wellington and Tomsk are not the only ones who've been digging in Queen's Mere, as they are soon to discover. Performed by Richard E Grant, 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 third audiobook in the 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 5: The Big Splash
