The Storyteller tells the Fraggles the story of the brave Sir Blunderbrain, who disappeared long ago in the fabled Terrible Tunnel.

No one believes that he was there, so Wembley decides that to prove that he escaped from the Terrible Tunnel... he'll have to find it again!

Supporting Cast
Fraggle Facts
The Storyteller is one of the few Fraggles who perform a ritual function in Fraggle Rock. (Others include Cantus the Minstrel, the World's Oldest Fraggle, and Archbanger Fraggle.) The Storyteller's job is to remember the oral history of the Fraggles, and she'll tell any story on request.
Notes
- The Storyteller appears for the first time in this episode, although this is the only episode in which she is performed by Richard Hunt. In later appearances, the Storyteller is performed by Terry Angus.
- This episode originally aired with an alternate opening theme, with Wembley saying "Down at Fraggle Rock!" instead of Boober.
If you pay close attention, the Storyteller gives a hint as to how Fraggles are born: she mentioned that Fedora Fraggle was "hatched" thus giving the impression that Fraggles come from eggs, rather like birds.
