In terms of production, there were four UK series of 24 episodes each. Series Two is better - I'm only missing one episode - but Three and Four are very badly depleted with just 7 and 3 respectively available to me. Regrettably it's unlikely that I'll be able to get hold of the Kaleidoscope or BFI episodes so Series One will consist of just 12 of its original 24 episodes.

Definitely interested in seeing a preservation of this.Ĭool :-) At this point I'm aiming to get Series One done this side of Christmas I shall update this thread with my progress! I've seen a couple episodes, but I've always wanted to see the whole series. Thanks for the offer, but I'm actually a (part-time) video engineer and DVD producer.so allow me to reciprocate - if I can be of any assistance to anyone on here, please ask!įound another one! 'The Lost Treasure of the Fraggles' is listed as being in Kaleidoscope's archive: įor some reason it never occurred to me to look in there.!Īwesome. I'd completely forgotten I'd posted that! :-) allowable image sizes in signatures: reminder here Author anathema Time 5:55 PM (Edited) Post link Guidelines for post content and general behaviour: read announcement here Still can't help with locating any lost episodes, but if you need any advice on capturing VHS let me know. Previous thread here - good to hear progress has been made. So, this is part-announcement and part-plea for help! If anyone knows of any other episodes that survive then please let me know 😃 I’ve discovered that the BFI have a further 28 episodes, and VHS copies of 23 more have turned up so the total now stands at 63 episodes which exist in some form. The situation isn’t quite this bad, fortunately.

So far as I know, Henson currently regard the other 84 as ‘lost’ and so a full UK DVD release is simply impossible. The upshot of this is that when 12 episodes were released on DVD in 2004, they were apparently the only 12 of the 96 originally produced which could be found. It is now believed to be buried somewhere in the depths of the Disney empire Disney have little or no interest in it, and in any event the paperwork has apparently been lost so noone knows what might be in there.

The UK version of the show was a co-production with TVS, and when they lost their franchise 20 years ago their archive changed hands. The last episode aired in August 1990, and so far as I know the show hasn’t been seen since.
This may qualify for a preservation project…! Those of you with long memories may recall that the UK version of this classic Henson show was set in a lighthouse and starred - originally - the late Fulton Mackay as the lighthouse-keeper. Author anathema Date, 5:11 PM Author anathema Time 5:11 PM (Edited) Post link St Anthony lighthouse's more modern claim to fame is that it featured in the opening credits and many scenes of the 1980s children's TV programme ' Fraggle Rock'.Info: Fraggle Rock - UK episodes. In 1987, the keeper was retired and the lighthouse became fully automatic. The fog warning for this stretch of water remained fairly basic until the 1950s, when a modern horn system replaced the massive bell, and it was at the same time that the white tower's lamp changed to electricity. These rocks have obviously been a hazard for more than the lifespan of the lighthouse and, given the maritime history and importance of Falmouth and environs, other, more rudimentary, beacons were previously employed, ranging from fires to flags.
Here, at the entrance to the vast waterway that is Falmouth harbour and the Carrick Roads, it is the offshore Manacles Rocks which pose the danger and St Anthony lighthouse was commissioned by Trinity House in 1835 to warn ships of their presence, and of the dangers of Black Rock sat square in the middle of the channel into the harbour.
