FRAGGLES
Fraggle Rock is a children's television series with a total of 4 seasons and 96 episodes. The series was created by Jim Henson, primarily featuring a cast of "Muppet" creatures called Fraggles. Fraggles, humanoid creatures about 18 inches tall, come in a wide variety of colours and have tails that bear a tuft of fur on the end. They live in a system of caves called Fraggle Rock - caves filled with all manner of creatures and features, and which seem to connect to at least two different worlds that exist in different dimensions of time and space. Fraggles live a very carefree life, spending most of their time playing, exploring, and generally enjoying themselves. The series presents Fraggles as curious, clever, brave and quick to act in an emergency. They have basic skills with tools and with crude machinery. Fraggles live on a diet of vegetables, especially radishes and "doozer sticks
The British version presents Fraggle Rock as a rocky sea-island with a lighthouse; it used as an actual shown location St. Anthony's Lighthouse located near Falmouth in Cornwall. The character who lives in the lighthouse along with his faithful dog Sprocket, was called "The Captain" and played by Fulton Mackay, and after Mackay's death by first John Gordon Sinclair as "PK" and later Simon O'Brien as "BJ"
Michael Frith (Jim Henson's creative director) took inspiration for the setting of Fraggle Rock from the Crystal Cave in Bermuda, known during his childhood in Bermuda.
