Advantages: Parents and grandparents can remember the first time around. Good clean show, helps kids use their imagination, helps give them the idea to Keep Britain Tidy. Disadvantages: None. I'm a fan!
Underground, overground, wombling free - it's good to see Wombles are back on tv.
A chance for another generation to get to know those furry little recyclers. Gosh, I had a Great Uncle Bulgaria way back then ... it'll seem odd to be getting them now for MY grandchildren.
I'm glad that they've decided to bring back the old shows on our various tv stations, and this show in particular as it was always a "nice" show, extolling the virtues of these little creatures who took rubbish that people had discarded and made useful things from it. Were they the first recyclers? Or maybe, originally, the idea was to discourage childrne from becoming litter bugs? Who knows? All I know is that I spent ages watching the Wombles when I was little and loved them dearly, and now my grandchildren can do the same.
Today's kids may be a lot more ...

Advantages: Good strong tracks Disadvantages: Few naff fillers
believe what she sings, very, very competent.
14. You Made Me The Thief Of Your Heart
No, not more angst, only this is a pale imitation of her better songs, more like pop angst.
15. Just like you said it would be
Another from the first album, fantastic, in fact the more I write this review, the more I realise that the first album, Lion and Cobra is a classic, this album isn't.
There are some fantastic songs that are, for some reason not included; 'Black boys on mopeds' for one.
So to sum up, not the bestsofar in my opinion, but not far off. What the album does show well is the depth of her talent and the versatility of styles that she has from punk, to reggae, to jazz to almost classical singing. There is no doubt that she can sing, boy can she sing. I would give the album a 7/10, nothing to bad, but not a 'blow away' album ...
Advantages: brilliant for kids of all ages Disadvantages: none
Underground overground wombling free the wombles of wimbledon common are we.... I bet you can remember the songs as well. As a child I really enjoyed this programme. It was on just long enough to withold a childs attention span and leaving you ready for the next broadcast. Okay you already know what they were about - they where a group of furry little creatures that lived on Wimbledon Common and spent their day cleaning up the rubbish that the untidy humans leave behind.
Their humble home was brilliant, decorated with sweet wrappers and newspapers. My favourite character had to be Orinoco, he was the laziest womble. He would pick up a piece of litter and then settle down on a bench for 'forty winks', always to be woken up by some unearthly noise.
I must admit thought that I have recently watched the new series and I don't know ...
