Global Rock...From its very inception, Fraggle Rock was planned as an international production. The basic plot of each episode - everything that takes place in the Fraggle world or the Gorg world, for example - would be shot in Toronto by the Henson team. But when the Fraggles ventured out into what we humans would call 'the real world,' then a local producer would take over for the different language versions.The 'real world' might be a workshop in North America, a bakery in France, or a lighthouse in Great Britain, depending on where the show was being broadcast. This meant that a number of "Docs" needed to be cast. Among them were Gerry Parks the US/Canadian Doc (top), Fulton Mackay, from the English co-production, who was known not as Doc but as Captain (2nd from top). Michael Robin from the French co-production, in which Sprocket's name, was changed to Croquette (bottom), and Hans-Helmutt Dickow, from the German co-production (2nd from bottom). ![]() home | news | promote | forum | thanks | contact episodes | down at fr | memories | timeline | puppeteers | awards | global | fraggle world | fun SIGN THE PETITION | ||||||||||
