Wombles VHS videos - 1990s TV series

A brand new Wombles series came to ITV in March 1998, with a new look, additional characters and different voices. Each episode lasts ten minutes, twice the length of the 1970s episodes. Over the next few years there were four series of 13 episodes.

In addition, 78 one-minute interstitials were created, to be inserted between the main episodes when they were shown on television in other countries. A few of these sketches were included on the Deep Space Wombles video, but the remaining interstitials have never been available in the UK.

Only three videos of the new series were released, totalling just 14 of the 52 episodes. All of the following are UK releases on PAL VHS video.
