Fraggle Rock on Boomerang UK


I saw on the TV that Fraggle rock will show on Boomerang in the UK on the 23rd july. I was thinking that this would be the first real life show on boomerang in a while. I would if they will show fraggle rock in the USA version with doc or the UK version with the scotish man in the light house?

any way sorry if this has came up befor and any spelling and grammer mistakes

Oh my god!!I LOVE fraggle rock,and i can't wait when it show on boomerang uk,do you think that the movie's going to be realeased around the world?

Do you mean... Fraggle rock in the USA didn't have fulton mckay?!
AT ALL?

I wondered who the american old codger was when I put it on this morning. It just doesn't feel right.

There're only two lighthouse keepers on fraggle rock! Fulton McKay and John Gordon Sinclair! American humans are banned I tells ya!

Fulton Mackay was by far the best 'presenter'. The Doc was rubbish, I like John Gordon Sinclair and I vaguely remember Simon O'Brien doing the last few, but Fulton was the most natural.

Fulton Mackay was the best, I agree, so natural and seemed like such a nice guy on the show.

I'll always remember him best for Fraggle Rock, as that's what I saw him on first before I ever saw Porridge with him as Mr. Mackay.

"Fletcher, I'm watching you!" :P

Brilliant actor.

I saw him in Porridge first, so it was a bit strange, but like you say he took on both roles naturally and seemed like a really nice guy. Even as Mr MacKay you could warm to him:

Mackay: Got a young lad called Nicholson moving in here.
Fletch: He's not a Scot, is he? I mean, we do draw the line somewhere.
Mackay: No, he's from Sunderland.
Fletch: Dangerously close!

Doc is so stupid,why did fulton mackay had to die like that?My funniest part was in ''the secret of convincing john'' at the end,water started to poke out and he ran over and shouted at sprocket,classic!

reply

Fulton makay was god!He was much funnier than doc,doc makes me tired.But FULTON he lit up my day!Americans aren't good nowadays.

I watched this years ago and was dissappointed that they showed the usa version Fulton McKay was much better than the doc still the programme itself brought back a lot of memories much better than the drivel they shovel out to kids these days.
Fulton played the lighthouse keeper until he became ill in with stomach cancer and he died shortly after at the early age of 65.

This thread is really odd-I'm used to Doc so much I actually like him. That's probably because I'm a weirdo myself.

I grew up watching it with the Doc...so I'm partial to him because I'm used to him.
