Fraggle Rock is a children's musical fantasy comedy puppet television series created by Jim Henson that debuted in the UK on ITV on January 7, 1984. It follows a group of interconnected societies of Muppet creatures. An international co-production of Canada, the UK and the US, Fraggle Rock was co-produced by British television company Television South (TVS). Unlike The Muppet Show and Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock was intended from the start to be an international production, and at least four different versions of the human wraparound segments were produced separately to air in different countries.

The British inserts filmed by TVS present Fraggle Rock as a rock-filled sea island with a lighthouse. Exterior footage was that of St Anthony's Lighthouse located near Falmouth in Cornwall. The original lighthouse keeper was The Captain (played by Fulton Mackay), a retired sailor who lives with his faithful dog Sprocket. In the third season, as Mackay had died in 1987, the role was played by John Gordon Sinclair as P.K., (the Captain's nephew) and in the fourth and final season by Simon O'Brien as B.J. (son of the lighthouse's owner, Mr. Bertwhistle).

During the show's original run, a re-recorded, extended version of its opening theme was released as a single in January 1984 and it reached #33 on the UK chart in March 1984.
