Fraggle Rock
Air Date	June 3, 1983
Written by	Sugith Varughese
Director	George Bloomfield

As usual, Wembley has a tough decision to make: to compete in Red's Splash-a-Thon, or accompany Gobo on his trip.

The Beast of Blue Rock lies within...the blue rock!

Fed up with Wembley's wembling, Gobo makes the terrifying journey to face the dreaded Beast of Blue Rock alone. But Gobo forgets his pickax, so Wembley has to go after him.

Fraggle Facts

• Blue Rock is a magical place. It's visible only two days after the Doozer Equinox, and then disappears for a year.

• Marjory the Trash Heap shows her magical abilities here, appearing to Wembley and Gobo at Blue Rock and teleporting them home again.

• The Beast of Blue Rock is not a physical creature but fear. As Marjory says: while the beast will return, with the help of friends it can be defeated -- as it was by Wembley and Gobo at Blue Rock.

• Marjory also explains that she was the one who made up the rumor of the Beast of Blue Rock, expressing surprise that the old rumors kept Fraggles away for centuries.
