Changes: Episode 221: Wembley and the Great Race

	Fraggle Rock
Air Date	May 21, 1984
Written by	Robert Sandler
Director	George Bloomfield

Revision as of 03:24, 15 August 2014

Gobo is jealous when Wembley beats him in a race, and the competition threatens to split up their friendship. Wembley doesn't want to race any more if it's going to destroy his relationship with Gobo, but Red pushes him into a new training program.

Meanwhile, Doc prepares Sprocket for an exhibition dog show that is coming to town following an argument with Ned Shimmelfinney.

Fraggle Facts

Three Fraggle races are shown in this episode -- the Rockbeetle Race, in which the Fraggles push a mossball with their noses while shouting "Rockbeetle!", the Front 'n' Back Race, in which they run forwards and backwards, and the Run-Hop-Swing-and-Run Race, which is self-explanatory.

Notes

The lyrics to this episode's songs were written by Tim Wynne-Jones, instead of the usual lyricist, Dennis Lee.
The Fraggles must have learned to count somewhere between Sir Hubris and the Gorgs and this episode, because they can count in this one.
This is the third time Gobo cries. The first was "Mokey's Funeral" and the second was "A Friend in Need".
