I’m going to briefly take your mind somewhere unexpected

You’ve heard of The Wombles, right? In case you haven’t, it was a British animated kids TV series in the 1970s. Here is the intro titles and theme music:

As a child, I had heard of Wimbledon due to the tennis, but I didn’t know there was a place called Wimbledon Common. This caused me to mishear the lyrics as “The Wombles of Wimbledon, common are we.” I thought it meant Wimbledon was full of loads of Wombles.

Anyway, with that out of the way, I present to you an alternative TV show:

The Wimbles of Wombledon

It focuses on a family of wimbles, which are giant stick insect type creatures with human heads, living in Wombledon, a western suburb of the metropolis known as Lettuce, the capital city of the United Republic of Maktuk, a union of the four historic nations of Inkblot, Oilstain, Jam, and Western Southsausage.
