This is the DVD version released in 2004 of the original Fraggle rock series 1 episodes created in 1984. Fraggle rock always takes me back to being a child of the 80's and I still adore them just as much as I used to. With this newely restored imagery DVD format of the 12 first episodes of Fraggle rock I am really really pleased and am sure will be loved equally as much by any fellow fraggle fan!
What I love the most about fraggle rock is that it can be enjoyed by oldies like myself or by the toddling little youths of todays generations. The lovable characters, good morals, excellent kind teachings and wonderfully addictive theme and episode music and songs are so so appealing to all ages.
This double disc edition of fraggle rock has 12 episodes on it for us all to enjoy. These include: The Secret of Convincing John , Capture The Moon , Boober's Dream, Mokey & The Minstrels, The Day The Music Died , Boober's Quiet Day , Invasion of the Toe Ticklers , A Friend In Need, Booberock , Red's Club , The Doomsday Soup, Junior Sells The Farm. My favourites are doomsday soup and the day the music died as they really pluck at my heart strings, that and gobo my favourite character learns some good lessons in them.
This double disc set cost me £28.95 from Tesco Jersey, which was a bargain as I've seen this in WHSmiths for £32.99. It's a region 2 format, certificate PG, and runs for 312 minutes all in English Lanuage.
Appart from a simple one intro theme tune at the start of the first episode on each disc, my other grumble is the lack of special features and extras on this double disc DVD compliation. The only extra bit of entertainment is a 'Down at Fraggle Rock documentary' taken from the VHS version and is still presented by the old and original creators of fraggle rock. Although its interesting, I would have much rather prefered some more songs or perhaps a game or deleted scenes. Oh well, never mind it is stil very good value for money and higghly recommended as the idea addition to any fans collection. Or would make the bestest little birthday/ xmas or easter treat gift for an equally mad fanatic as I.
Overall a 4 star rating, cut short from a 5 only by lack of special, never before seen extras that i would have liked to have seen. Great for any fraggle fan. Thanks for reading, best wishes, mintz x x

Oh the memories! I was also an eighties kid who loved fraggle rock. The question is did you have the luminous clothes that were also part of being of a certain age. At least the fraggles are less cringe-worthy. I might just have to make a purchace!
