Fraggle Rock

Fraggle Rock was the acclaimed children's series which featured the Fraggles that lived at Fraggle Rock. The programme was international with each country having its own inserts – in the UK TVS were responsible for bringing the programme to UK screens with scenes filmed in a lighthouse with the captain and Sprocket the dog were filmed at TVS' Television Theatre in Gillingham. The series led to a series of co-productions between TVS and the Jim Henson company later in the decade. Sadly the whereabouts of just 12 of the original UK series of 96 are known to exist today. The Fraggles were small creatures who lived beneath a Lighthouse. The series was a co-production between TVS, Jim Henson's Workshop and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
