Nostalgia overload.
The name won’t mean anything to Irish readers under the age of 25, but many of us grew up in an era when Fraggle Rock was a staple of our children’s TV diet.

Long after it last aired on TV, the Jim Henson Company have confirmed that Fraggle Rock will be making a comeback on HBO’s Internet TV network.
The show, which aired for 96 episodes, was broadcast in 98 countries and included 100 original songs, has been digitally remastered and will return to HBO before the end of this year.
