@markbradleyart Hoping to catch that next week. Am currently listening to The Wombles on BBC Sounds when I go to bed and it’s a delight.

@malprin Love it! Been listening to Richard E Grant reading the Wombles on BBC Sounds - it’s amazing - and uses the original sound track.

@RichardEGrant So enjoying your reading of The Wombles on BBC Sounds. Thank you Richard for a wonderful gift to us all!

Ok so 2024 has already peaked for me @RichardEGrant reading the Wombles on New Year’s Day It doesn’t get any better ! Happy New Year friends bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Thanks @TimLewi5 So glad you and the children enjoyed The Wombles. There’s another two books available on @BBCSounds if you want to hear more of @RichardEGrant’s lovely reading of the classic series. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

We have exciting news. The wonderful @RichardEGrant is stepping into the shoes (or microphone) of the legendary Bernard Cribbins and narrating a series of Wombles short stories on @BBCSounds and @BBCRadio4 over the Christmas period. The stories are based on the original books by Elisabeth Beresford and directed by @JohnnyVegasReal bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

I know not everyone is a R4, but you really do need to know that Richard E Grant reading The Wombles (under Johnny Vegas's direction) is bloody wonderful. Easily the most Christmassy thing I've seen/heard this year. Highly recommended for anyone who likes joy.

@RichardEGrant We absolutely ❤️ the Wombles 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄! #BBCRadio4
