OK, now all the wombles have been identified, here's a womble-related trivia question. No googling for this either!

Mike Batt, whose Wombles theme song is now rattling around some of your heads, also wrote a rabbit-related song that topped the charts. What song was that?

Correct. Mike Batt wrote it for the soundtrack of Watership Down and it was sung by Art Garfunkel.

I just looked up the wombles on Wikipedia and I found we missed one. Madame Cholet apparently had an assistant called Alderney.

I can't remember any of them, but I won a giant one in a baby contest which i entered in, when i was about 12 months old.

It was the one with the hat & the red scarf. Whichever character he was.

According to Wikipedia she was in the TV program. I don't remember her though.

There were also others who appeared ftom the second series, sometimes infrequently.

There were a few more apparently. I do remember Miss Adelaide as she was mentioned in a song on the Wombles LP that my brother had.
