I don't know the answer to that Beau, but I will look into the British releases when we fly to London in November. Till then, I guess all we can do is assume.
Because the German version is parallel to the N. American version, I would guess that they left in the same manner as the Doc character we know. The sad thing about the Fraggle Rock episodes in Germany was that ZDF (the television station) had a fire some years back (according to what I was able to find out), and many of the master copies of the show were destoyed. So, I was surprised that the show was even released here and that we were able to the show in German at all.
I hope that they will be able to get us through to the final episode. My husband has never seen the show before I got him into it, so it's a hard call.
But, as for the British version, I'll let you know what I find after I get back.
