These are small, green bouwvakkertjes with helmets on, which do nothing more than ' buildings ' construct. Gorg are crazy about the taste of the Doer-stems from which these buildings exist and are thus easily from food. ===Twits<span class="mw-editsection" len="326" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Radishes also are part of the Jen-meal. They have to go to get the vegetable plot of the Twits: three huge, not too intelligent, furry creatures, who think they are the rulers of the universe . Obtaining radishes is a risky adventure in itself wants nothing better than Horror, since Junior Gorg imprisonment.
 * Gobo is the leiderfiguur. He tackles tough issues in a practical way to always. He likes to play on his plucked string instrument and would later be Explorer, like his Travelling Uncle Roel (English: Uncle Travelling Matt). The pop was played by Jerry Nelson; are Dutch voice was voiced by Frans van Dusschoten.
 * Eddie is a nervous French bed who has trouble to form their own opinion. To preserve the peace, he blows but with all the winds with it. But when push comes to shove, he is certainly not a coward. Steve Whitmirewas the puppeteer; the dubbing was provided by Olaf Wijnants.
 * Mollie is psychedelic and artfully, always calm and thinking ahead. She is also the oldest of the five Freggelvrienden. This Jen was played by Kathryn Mullen; its Dutch voice was that of Angélique de Boer.
 * Jet, on the other hand, is energetic and impulsive, always up for a really fun and one of the best swimmers among the Fraggle Rock. She shares a room with her polar opposite Mollie. The puppeteer Karen Prell's Jet was; Maria Lindes expressed her Dutch voice in.
 * Bobby is mostly dejected and scared for mischief. His favorite pastime is to feel safe to wash socks in his cave retreat; and that while normally wear no socks Gorg. Played by Dave Goelz; actor Hans Dagelet took care of Bobby's voice in the English dubbing.

====Playing Creeps<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Every Horror was played simultaneously by two puppeteers. One sat in the Griezelpak and took care of all body movements of this huge creature. In the head of the Horror was a film camera that filmed the space around the dummy from inside and a small display on which the puppeteer could see what the Horror itself ' saw '. The other player was out of the picture and took care of the remote control by means of a kind of mouth movements and the facial expression of the sample. ===Travelling Uncle Roel<span class="mw-editsection" len="335" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Gobos Travelling Uncle Roel is an Explorer who in the first episode starts with exploring the human world. Once in a while sends a postcard to Uncle Roel Gobo, one each from being delivered to Doc, which throws the card in the trash. If his dog February sees that one of the Fraggle Rock will pick up the map, he tries everything to make this clear for his owner, but always without success. Uncle John was played by Dave Goelz; are Dutch voice was provided by Paul of Gorcum. ===Gloria, Filo and Saints<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">If they stuck with a problem consult Gorg the Knower deposit hope Gloria (English: Marjory): a bespectacled mountain compost that is taking on the task of Oracle . She is always assisted by two on rats-like creatures called Filo and Saints (English: Philo and Gunge). The puppetry of Gloria was provided by Jerry Nelson, that of Filo and Saints by Dave Goelz and Richard Hunt. The film features the voices of respectively the DutchTonny Huurdeman, Olaf Wijnants and Hans Dagelet. ==Outside North America<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The adventures of the Fraggle Rock were dubbed in thirteen languages, including Spanish, Japanese and Finnish. Only the first two seasons, or 48 episodes, were dubbed into Dutch.
 * Pa Horror is the father of the family. He spends her days rather than that he instructs him that his wife the Refurbisher chores. Gordon Robertson sat in the suit and Jerry Nelson provided the facial movements and his voice; the Dutch voice was that of Frans van Dusschoten.
 * Ma Horror is, of course, married to Pa Horror and she's Juniors mother. She is caring, but also bossy. In addition, she is extremely afraid of Fraggle Rock. Trish Leeper and Myra Fried took care of her body movements (season 1) and Cheryl Wagner (season 2-5) her voice and facial expression; Maria Lindes did the dubbing.
 * Junior Horror is the only child. He does several tasks in and around the castle of the creeps, such as taking care of their vegetable garden. Rob Mills (season 1-4) and Frank Meschkuleit (season 5) sat in the suit andRichard Hunt took care of Juniors voice and controlled his face; Dick Scheffer spoke the Dutch voice in.

So did Gobo in France to postcards from a bakery and in England from a Lighthouse. This is also the reason that Gobo virtually was the only one who came through the hole in the human world. So there were only two dolls in this country-specific scenes: Gobo and February. ==DVDs<span class="mw-editsection" len="324" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p lang="en" len="454" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The English-language version is now fully released in Australia (region 4) and North America (region 1).
