The lighthouse is St.Anthony on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall.

Very close to St.Mawes and also visible from Falmouth.

You can walk right upto the lighthouse though I've yet to see a Fraggle there...

From what I've seen in Fraggle Rock Behind the Scenes. In England, Doc was a lighthouse owner. In France, Doc was a chef and Sprocket was called Croquet. And in Germany, Doc was an inventor just like in the American version.

Actually the German set was an exact replica of the US set, so that would (like the previous posters correctly said) make the german Doc an inventor, too. :smile:

that's exactly what jim henson tells us in 'down at fraggle rock' but I'm not sure if the french doc really is a chef, because he has (what I've seen so far in the french episodes) all that inventor's stuff in his (sort of) workshop...

any french people here to confirm that?
