The tabloids may well have been full of the reunion of Robbie Williams with Take That and the re - launch of Blue, but a far more unlikely reformation has been reported in the Red - Tops. Mike Batt's creation, The Wombles, are re releasing their albums 'Wombling Songs', 'Keep On Wombling', 'Remember You're A Womble' and 'Superwombling'. Bookmakers Paddy Power are clearly aware of the furore caused as The Wombles make a comeback and offer a chance to bet on their success.
Whilst there will be initial questions about the wisdom of Batt deciding to dust off Great Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory, Tomsk, Orinoco and Madame Cholet, on reflection, there could not be better ambassadors for an environmentally aware status quo than the recyclers from Wimbledon Common and there have already been early reports of a national tour!

Clearly Batt will not have made the decision to re- incarnate his furry creations if he did not think there was the chance to make a buck or two. Groups never reform without the prospect of lucrative financial carrots and however cute these characters are the pound signs will be driving any environmental message they represent. Fortunately enough time has passed since the Wombles burst onto out TV screens for carbon footprints and recycling issues to have become one of the most topical / trending issues in the media.
15/8 says the Wombles will play Glastonbury next year, which seems entirely possible, and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Tomsk could light the Olympic Torch in 2012, although it is probably more likely that Boris Johnson would be under the costume! Whilst a Christmas number one may be out of their reach with the X factor competition it may well be that nostalgic 30 somethings will want their children to meet the wombles, which may well lead to chart success before christmas.
