Check out the Lost Media Wiki’s article on the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! British dub!!!
As with Blue’s Clues, Happy Monster Band, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast and Max & Ruby, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! was redubbed for the UK market. The British dub was taken off Nick Jr. UK in late 2011 and Nick Jr. 2 in 2014 due to Viacom (now Paramount Global) losing the rights. As of now, a good chunk of season 1 is available, but season 2 is mostly lost.
The last known airing on Nick Jr. was on 28 November 2011. By December, the show was no longer in Nick Jr's schedule. It is highly presumed that Nick Jr. only aired season 1, while season 2 was a Nick Jr. 2 exclusive. There is no evidence of season 2 ever airing on Nick Jr. at the moment.
The first Season 2 airing is unknown, but presumed to be in 2009. No schedules with Season 2 episode listing were found on Nick Jr.'s website.
The series is available on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, but they're all the original US dub episodes. There was only 1 DVD release, called Wubb Idol. This is a British DVD which uses the original US dub.
Although the UK dub of Wow Wow Wubbzy doesn't air on broadcast anymore, the episodes can be still found in the UK website of AppleTV. However, episodes after Broken Record/Walden on the Beach are from the original US version of Wow Wow Wubbzy:

Trivia[]
- Widget calls Wubbzy "Little Wubbzy" instead of "Little Buddy".
- Widget doesn't call Wubbzy "Wubbster" in this dub, with the exception of one short.
- Chef Fritz has more of a French accent in this dub.
- About all the songs (including the intro) are retained from the original US dub, with the exception of spoken lines by the characters.
- In addition, Kooky Kid's spoken lines in the song "Kooky" are completely unchanged from the original US dub. Likewise, Walden remains undubbed from the original US dub in the song "Mr. Cool".
- Seasons 1 and 2 use different recording for Wubbzy's lines each.
- In the Season 1, Wubbzy says "Wow wow wow everyone", unlike the US intro and the Season 2 UK intro, and the last five instances of "Wow" being sung in the theme are silent. For the Season 2 UK intro, the same happened at the end, with the last instances of "Wow" being silent and with Wubbzy saying "Wow" at the end, but Wubbzy’s Wow” has sounded different from Season 1.
- In the song "Treasure", Captain Sweet Tooth Tom and the bird are undubbed from the original US dub, but Wubbzy's "Arrgh!" at the end of the song is.
- Fans of “The Magic Roundabout” might recognise Wayne Forester’s name as he was the voice of Zebedee in the 2007 revival series that also aired on Nick Jr around the time Wubbzy started airing in the UK
