Hi folks

Uncle Bulgaria's favourite newspaper, The Times, is giving away a set
of classic kids' TV shows, starting with a free Wombles DVD inside
this weekend's Sunday Times (13 January).

The cover image shows 'Tobermory On TV', similar to the commercially
released DVD that came out last March, though it's not clear how many
episodes will be included on this free version.

Apparently there will be adverts for this giveaway promotion across
television, radio, press and outdoor posters, although the only one
I've seen so far was in the press (in thelondonpaper this afternoon).
So keep an eye out for Tobermory!

The Wombles are also featured in a new TV advert for gas and
electricity supplier EDF Energy. It's a montage of old footage with an
environmental theme, and at the end it says: "This commercial is made
from recycled film clips."

The short Wombles clip appears near the end, with Uncle Bulgaria
saying: "Oh, that's the idea - making good use of bad rubbish."

You can watch the advert on YouTube:
