Episode 5: The MacWomble

Bungo and Orinoco are cross-examined by their captors. 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 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.
