It's New Years Eve, Great Uncle Bulgaria's favourite time of year. But when he is nowhere to be found, the wombles become worried.

The wombles become confused when they each find a thingummawotsit, and are unsure what they do!

Madame Cholet takes the wombles on a guided tour of her life, by showing them old mementoes.

Great Uncle Bulgaria, Madame Cholet and Tobermary were all planing on going to see the Thames Burrow Pantomime, until Orincoco loses their tickets. Therefore the young wombles come up with an idea to entertain the older wombles, instead of the show.

As Tomsk is performing his night-watch duty he realises Shansi is missing and organises an emergency search party.

Great Uncle Bulgaria's former nanny is visiting, but on the big day Bungo fills the burrow with practical jokes.

While the wombles are playing, Bungo gets a nasty knock on the head and seems to forget who he is.

Stepney and Wellington fall out when she invents a Womble vehicle better than his Wimbledon Wombles Wombuggy.

It's the Wimbledon Wombles turn to produce the copy of the Womble Times, which goes out to all the Wimbledon burrows everywhere. With Great Uncle Bulgaria as editor, everyone has an important role on the paper, but, as ace reporter, Bungo thinks his is the most important.
