  • Fraggle Rock‘s Doc & Sprocket

Gerard Parkes, best known as “Doc” from the Jim Henson kids show Fraggle Rock passed away on Sunday at the age of 90 from natural causes. A prolific actor in Canada with many roles under his belt, his biggest fame came from playing the kindly inventor on Fraggle Rock whose workshop was directly connected to the Fraggle caves.

Parkes will be missed, but take a minute to remember him in action with this funny Fraggle clip where Doc nearly loses his mind thanks to some annoying hiccups.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
