More British Children's TV: The Wombles. Actually, they were a set of books by Elisabeth Beresford.
While the Wombles of this series of Books and TV were from Wimbledon, Wombles live in every country in the world! Wombles would be highly disliked by the US right wing since their communal work is clearing up and recycling human refuse. Their motto is "Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish."
You can be a womble and clean up after messy humans too!
BTW, you can see a Womble in the First Season of Little Britain standing outside BBC Television Centre.
