Nobody's mentioned Great Uncle Bulgaria yet, lol
To be honest, I can't remember much about the Wombles other than a few names, so difficult to say which one I'd be. For example, I remember one of them was a bit of a lazy bones, but don't remember which one.
Didn't one of them have glasses? |

Known Wombles are :
Great Uncle Bulgaria – the oldest and wisest of the Wimbledon Wombles and their leader. He terrifies the younger Wombles with his stern manner (and particularly his habit of glaring at them through two pairs of spectacles) but is actually very kind.
Tobermory – an engineer, a skilled inventor, and named after the capital of the Isle of Mull, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides islands. He has a gruff and surly manner but like Bulgaria (with whom he has been friends for many years) he has a very kindly heart.
Orinoco – a shirker who loved sleep and food and named after the River Orinoco in South America. Though slothful by nature, Orinoco is capable of some surprising acts of moral and physical courage.
Bungo – over-enthusiastic and bossy, named after Bungo Province in Japan. He is Orinoco's best friend.
Tomsk – an athletic Womble with a rather low IQ, named after Tomsk in Russia. He is extremely keen on golf, and plays on the London Scottish Golf Club course situated on the common.
Wellington – scientifically inclined, but very insecure and absent-minded. Madame Cholet – a prim and proper female Womble. The Womble cook, named after the town of Cholet in France. She has a very noticeable French accent.
Miss Adelaide – schoolmistress, named after the city of Adelaide in Australia.
Alderney – Madame Cholet's assistant, named after Alderney in the Channel Islands. She appeared in the early books, but did not make it into the first TV series. Her character was revived in the second TV series, when many viewers wrongly assumed she was a new character. |
