Advantages: Some fantastic performances and a strong individual style Disadvantages: It won't be everyone's cup of tea
good value as a good-cop, bad-cop duo. Bryan Ferry manages to be even creepier than when singing ballads as the dangerous and curiously named Mr Silky String.
The soundtrack comprises all manner of memorable, if not respected tracks from the period. "Sugar Baby love" sits cheek by jowl with "Me and Mrs Jones", "Wig-Wam Bam", "Honey I Miss You", "Chirpy, Chirpy Cheep Cheep", "Children of the Revolution", "Windmills of Your Mind" and even "WomblingFree". This is padded out by Anna Jordan's English Light Orchestra stylings and the odd dash of cheesy Hammond organ. It's all a perfect fit with the ethos of the film, being the music that Patrick would no doubt love.

Were they the first recyclers? Or maybe, originally, the idea was to discourage childrne from becoming litter bugs? Who knows? All I know is that I spent ages watching the Wombles when I was little and loved them dearly, and now my grandchildren can do the same.
Today's kids may be a lot more ...
