The Wombles
The Wombles performing their song 'Wombling Merry Christmas' on Top of the Pops in 1975.
The Wombles as a musical act were masterminded by Mike Batt and had a string of hits although Mr Batt doesn't always think fondly of the cute eco-activists: "It is hard to be taken seriously with the Wombles hanging around my neck like a furry anvil." (Mike Batt in an interview with the Telegraph in 2008)
