The Answer

Here it finally is, the answer to the question. It gets inside your head, the way questions do, always niggling at the back of your mind, but now it will leave, once the answer has been given.

Q: Who would win in a fight between the Wombles and the Clangers?

In the event of a draw, what if it were the Wombles versus the Clangers and Bagpuss?

A: Bagpuss.

Reason: I've been thinking about this, and I'm sure that Bagpuss is the solution. The fight has to be completely fair, so there can be no advantages. Because of this, the fight will have to take place in some half gravitational world. Also, it's just the Wombles and the Clangers, so the Clangers can't have the soup dragon as a killing machine, and the Wombles can't construct their own tank like contraption out of recycled waste. Although Tomsk was indeed the only 'hard' Womble, but he probably isn't used to half-gravity. Also, the Clangers would not be used to it either. At this point, no-one has the advantage. Call in Bagpuss, and there is a clear winner. He has the added advantage of a huge bulk, and although he wouldn't be able to move in normal gravity (because of his bulk), he has limited movement in this world. Even if he is wounded, another layer of fat would slide out from the wound. If the battle draws on, Bagpuss could live off his own stomach contents for decades to come. Therefore Bagpuss is the winner, and we should use him for all future conflicts in the world.

The answer has been told, and I hope that no-one is dissappointed.
