              Yeah I remember the series (first 2, can't remember chockys challenge) but never read the book. I'll probably sneak a read when she's finished with it.

                It was interesting but I am unsure how much that I truly like it. I guess it was novel for it's era and quite unque

                Though in saying this it is a bit 'poetic" being the best word I can currently think of, but no doubts I can see what the writer had in mind when planning the programme

                I wish I knew who played the dad too - I seem to think I have seen him in loads and loads of things!

                    It was James Hazeldine who played the dad. You might also know him from London's Burning. ☺

                      Chocky is too scarey for words as TV Programme

                      The spinning record "freaked me out" no doubts ... it's hard to say if it is bordering on the Paranormel or just great writing I think

                        It was that scary especially for a young kid who is under 10.
                        I had to look it up on yt to remember it and when i saw it i went wow this was/is pretty freaky.

                        I only wish more shows where like it.

                          There is no doubts at all Darren , that it was wrote really really well in the extreme - though at first I had reservations about it - all that has gone away now. I love the Auntie in it -she is beyond a match for the irritating mother (in terms of being Sisters). Casting the actress in question was a masterstroke indeed!

                            Just started watching it again on youtube.

                            Must say i forgot a lot about it.

                            I see his adoptive mom and dad thought chocky was an imaginary friend but after and old friend of his dads had a chat to matthew he realised chocky was real and quite intelligent

                            up to episode 3 where chocky shows herself to matthew.

                              The theme tune still freaks me out - so eerie.....I remember only liking the first one - thought Chocky's Children and Challenge was awful. So I've only bought the first series.... it's quite angsty - and how bad an actress is Carol Drinkwater
