The Wombles of Wimbledon common.
A old children's TV puppet series. With a "green"/recycling theme.
The wombles themselves were small puppets that looked like
small ewoks or miniature wookies. They had a pointed, conical nose,
rather like old sp*ce m*rines from you know who.
I can't remember the guy who invented them, but someone in England
should
know.
"The wombles of wimbledon common are we!"
...
"Making good use of ...."
and so on.
