Episode 210: A Friend in Need

Sprocket tries to follow his ball through the Fraggle hole in Doc's workshop and gets stuck. It's up to Gobo to free the fearsome beast!

At the same time, Doc ends up getting a ring stuck around his finger.

Fraggle Facts

• Greaseberry plants are another thing that the Fraggles and Gorgs battle over. Fraggles harvest greaseberry leaves in the Gorgs' Garden, and they slide on the slippery leaves around the Great Hall. The Gorgs use the leaves to make their Gorg butter.

International Versions

• UK: Similar to Doc, the Captain gets his finger caught in a ring while Sprocket is stuck in the hole between the lighthouse and the Fraggle Rock. Uncle Travelling Matt participates in a 'great race' (in reality, a department store clothing sale).

Notes

• The ring that Doc's finger gets stuck in resembles a Doozer helmet.

Songs

• "I Knew I Was Good"
• "Wise to Myself"
• "Count on Me"
