The first episode of The Wombles was originally broadcast on this day in 1973. The series was based on the books by Elisabeth Beresford, directed and animated by Ivor Wood and narrated by Bernard Cribbins. Mike Batt provided the memorable theme tune.

It's commonly supposed that Ben Elton based Nozin' Around on Oxford Road Show. In fact The Young Ones had begun filming two weeks before he appeared today in 1982, cut out the middleman and takes the piss out of the show and its aims directly.

If your boss hasn't spoken to you since, it's a fair bet that you had a good time at your office Christmas party.
