I first saw Chocky in 1984 and I was mesmerised! Recently, I read the book by John Wyndham and I got motivated to search for the DVDs. Needless to say, I purchased it immediately off this site. Sentimental value was the prime motivator in deciding to purchase this as I initially thought that as an older individual I'd not be as enthralled. I was wrong!! The series still has the ability to captivate me, even discounting the nostalgia factor. The Chocky series is so simply done, no special effects to speak of, yet the content grips you and you simply have to continue watching episode after episode.
Modern day producers of television shows would do well to take note of shows like Chocky.

I watched this series as a child and loved it, but only brought it really for sentimental value. But as my nine year old daughter and I sat down to watch it we have quickly become engrossed in the story once again. We are half way through the second episode and I have to say its as good (if not better) than anything on tv today. The story is original and gripping. I think I may even be enjoying it more the second time around!
