Though the total number of missing episodes varies from source to source, the original recordings of many of the British segments with Fulton Mackay went missing years ago. Various media outlets and fans of the show have set about staging appeals to the public to share their VHS tapes of the original series so that the U. We were advocates for joy and people getting on. We feel that because the Fraggles have this special philosophy, and because they love music and resolve differences differently from humans, it in some ways appeals to artists and musicians; maybe more than even the other Henson characters.

We have had musicians from every kind of band, from hip-hop to alternative and bluegrass, [say] the Fraggles were the characters that spoke to them. In early versions of the script, the Fraggles were referred to as Woozles. More than one Fraggle at a time can enter a single Fraggle's dream, provided all the participants' heads are touching before they fall asleep. They form a tight-knit group of friends, and each has a distinctive personality type.

Gobo is the "leader", level-headed and practical, and considers himself chiefly an explorer. Mokey is highly spiritual and artistic, being quiet and contemplative. Red, on the other hand, is exuberant and athletic; she is one of the best swimmers among the Fraggles. Wembley is nervous and pathologically indecisive, though no coward when push comes to shove.

Boober's cardinal trait is depression and worry, and his favorite activity is washing socks -- Fraggles, however, do not seem to use footwear most of the time. Most Doozers have a hard time understanding the Fraggles' mindset, and vice versa.

Within Fraggle Rock lives a second species of small humanoid creatures, the pudgy green ant-like Doozers. Standing only 6 inches tall, Doozers are in a sense anti-Fraggles; their lives are dedicated to work and industry. Doozers spend much of their time busily constructing all manner of pointless scaffolding throughout Fraggle Rock, using miniature construction equipment and wearing hardhats and work boots.

To ensure that they always have a steady stream of work to do, Doozers build their constructions out of an edible candy-like substance manufactured from radishes which is greatly enjoyed by Fraggles. This is essentially the only interaction between Doozers and Fraggles; Doozers spend most of their time building, and Fraggles spend much of their time eating tasty Doozer buildings.

They thus form an odd sort of symbiosis. The symbiosis was part of an episode where Mokey called the Fraggles not to eat the Doozers' constructions because they spend so much time making them. Fraggle Rock was quickly filled with constructions and the Doozers had no space left to build.

After running out of space, the Doozers finally decided that it was time to move on to a new area because the Fraggles would not eat their constructions, and there was even a tragic scene with a mother explaining to her daughter about how things don't always work out but that they would find a new place to live where their constructions would get eaten. They finally convinced Mokey that they didn't mind that the constructions were eaten, because this enabled the Doozers to build ad infinitum.

The series had several episodes that featured a Doozer as a main character, the young female named Cotterpin Doozer , and reveal much of Doozer culture; it is surprisingly well developed. With time the Doozer and Fraggle cultures' connection gets stronger, thanks to the inter-species friendships created by Cotterpin and Wrench Doozer in particular.

This book details the story of a Doozer who went against Doozer tradition when he stopped working and going to school. According to this book, a Doozer who doesn't Do in fact becomes a Fraggle - although in the show itself in the episode "All Work and All Play" , this is more or less dismissed as a story Doozer parents frighten their children with.

Outside another exit from Fraggle Rock lives a small family of Gorgs , giant furry humanoids standing 22 feet tall. The husband and wife of the family consider themselves the King and Queen of the Universe , with their son Junior Gorg as its prince and heir, but to all appearances they are really simple farmers with a rustic house and garden patch.

Fraggles are considered a pest by the Gorgs, as they steal radishes. In one episode it is revealed that the Gorgs use radishes to make "anti-vanishing cream" that prevents them from becoming invisible. Thus, the three main races of the Fraggle Rock universe - Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs - are all dependent on the radishes for their own particular reason.

Also in the Gorgs' world is a sapient compost heap called Marjory , and her two rat-like sidekicks Philo and Gunge.
