Episode 103: Let the Water Run

Fraggle Rock
Air Date	January 24, 1983
Written by	Jocelyn Stevenson
Director	Perry Rosemond

Doc: Needs one more minor adjustment... pass me that sledgehammer.

When Doc turns off the water pipes to fix the boiler in his workshop, he cuts off the Fraggles' only water supply. Headstrong Red Fraggle is preparing a swimming show all by herself, refusing her friends' offers of help -- but when the Fraggle Pond empties and doesn't refill, she finds she can't fix it alone. Meanwhile, Junior Gorg tries to get water for Pa's bath, but his well is also connected to the empty Fraggle pool.

Fraggle Facts

• The Fraggles, Doozers, and Gorgs rely on the Pipebangers for water. The Pipebangers strike pipes in Fraggle Rock with sticks to make the water run. The banging disturbs Doc, who empties the boiler in his workshop and supplies the underground caverns with water. The Fraggle Pond, in turn, is the well from which the Gorgs derive their water supply. The interconnectedness of the different worlds goes completely unnoticed by their inhabitants, however.
