Episode 10: The New Burrow

A journey across London to the new burrow feels incomplete without the missing Wombles. Great Uncle Bulgaria is distracted by the discovery of some Womble antiques.

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

In this second audiobook in the series, The Wombles are in search of pastures new as the lorries on Tibbet's Corner are causing some of the burrow's underground passages to crumble and cave in.

Full of fun and warmth, with an underpinning environmental message, The Wandering Wombles 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 10: The New Burrow
A journey across London to the new burrow feels incomplete without Tobermory, Miss Adelaide, Bungo and Orinoco, but there are some interesting distractions to be going on with, not least the discovery of ancient Womble cave paintings and a wealth of Womble antiques.
