The series was produced with the intention of being aired in varied forms internationally. The human "wraparound" segments were shot separately for each nation, so that the child viewer could always relate to the world of the program. However, in the Irish and Dutch shows the North American human surroundings were used. The series has appeared now in over ten countries and languages.
In the British version: Fraggle Rock is a rocky sea island with a lighthouse, the actual location shown is St. Anthony's Lighthouse located near Falmouth in Cornwall. The wraparounds featuring the inventor "Doc" (Gerry Parkes) in North America are replaced in the UK by the character called "The Captain" (played by Fulton Mackay, and after Mackay's death by first John Gordon Sinclair and subsequently Simon O'Brien) who lives in the lighthouse. The rock is known as Fraggle Rock by the humans. In the German and Norwegian version, the action takes place beneath the workshop of the inventor Doc, played by Hans-Helmut Dickow. In France, the wraparound segments take place in a bakery.
I don't know what version you were referring to, but I'm guessing that you're talking about the British version. Maybe they changed it after the death of the first "Captain". ?

Because the budget had been cut and they couldn't afford all the extra studio time.
Ta.
(oh, and it is "Fraggle", not that it matters).
