The Wombles — created by Elisabeth Beresford after she misheard her daughter mispronounce "Wimbledon Common" on a Boxing Day walk in 1968 — became a BBC stop-motion staple in the early 1970s and have carried persistent cultural currency in Britain ever since. Tobermory, the inventor and handyman of the group, takes his name from a Scottish island town on the Isle of Mull. This is one of several character issues in Guernsey's 2023 Wombles programme, each struck in colored copper-nickel for the collector market rather than circulation.
