Virgin Video

Virgin Video was a British home video distributor who released a number of Henson productions on video in the UK in the 1980s under the "Jim Henson Presents" banner, akin to other international releases.

A majority of Henson releases from Virgin were Muppet Show compilations that had previously been released in the United States by Playhouse Video, which contain new framing material featuring Kermit, Fozzie and other Muppets. One of the releases - The Muppet Revue was retitled as Kermit and Fozzie's Favourites. Although Virgin released most of the Playhouse titles, they did not release four of them - Country Music with the Muppets, Muppet Treasures, Rock Music with the Muppets and Rowlf's Rhapsodies. Virgin also released two Fraggle Rock videos, with each containing two episodes of the American version.

Each video cover features silhouettes of Muppet characters who appear in that program.

Virgin Video was commonly associated with Palace, another video distributor who released Henson products in the UK. Both companies operated under the same distribution arm - Palace, Virgin and Gold Distribution Ltd.
