Synopsis
Since they were first introduced to our TV screens back in 1973, THE WOMBLES have been clearing up the rubbish we humans have left behind. To these ingenious creatures, finding our discarded sweet wrappers and plastic bags is like finding gold, as they are able to recycle them into useful everyday items. This environmental message was worked into each five minute episode in fun and inventive ways that inspired children to be more responsible with their waste. Presented here for the first time are all 60 episodes of the classic animated series featuring Wimbledon Common's most famous residents.

Customer Reviews

Missing episode
I would give the Wombles itself a 5, but this dvd is badly authored.

The episode "A Sticky Ending" is missing and they duplicated "Madame Cholet Returns".

Most of the episodes are in the wrong order, so if you click on an episode title, you get a different episode.

Very disappointing. I hope that the makers resolve this issue and replace these faulty dvds.

complete?
Apparently one episode is missing and another duplicated.

What I do notice is that the episodes are not in order and when you click on the episodes by the episode selection menu, you are not taken to that particular episode but a completely different one.

Terrible DVD authoring, and obviously not tested before released to the public.

It's a shame as this was one show that was crying out for a DVD release and has become an embaressing shambles

Wombles Disk Error
Following on from Mr. P. R. Clarke's review (27 May 2008), I contacted Abbey Home Media regarding this title and they replied on May 28th as follows:

"There was indeed found to be an error with the manufacture of both discs in 'The Wombles Complete Collection' boxset. Abbey Home Media were made aware of this problem on release and notified all retailers immediately.

This problem has now been rectified and we have been advised by the manufacturer to expect delivery of new stock this week."
