Chocky's Children (Chocky series 2) Episode 1 part 1

[kamelion7]

James Hazeldine (Bayleaf in 'London's Burning) was an excellent actor - but he nbever ever seemed to be young!!!! He always looks late forties - although he obviously isn't here!!

[haylele]

totally creepy

[MartinMirror1]

Excellent stuff BackpackCamera, I put a link on to my website WyndhamWeb, which is about John Wyndham, as you may have gathered.

[backpackcamera]

Thanks, I will check that site out. I posted in comments on another of the videos - did you know Spielberg has film rights for the novel?

[PNETriffid]

Yes I'd heard that Spielberg is involved, so I anticipate Matthew being a horrible bowl-haired blond Yank brat, who says 'awesome', 'sucks' and 'Mommy do you suppose I'll ever be a regualr kid again?' Also expect lots of pointless plot changes, and dreadful dialogue.

[backpackcamera]

I know, it's tragic.

[elcriollito]

fantastic aventures

recalling me good times

[MrHawksmoor]

Great theme music. Is there a longer version?

[ThEmIdNiGhTiNtRuDeR]

The character Landis has his roots in Royston Vasey.

[ThEmIdNiGhTiNtRuDeR]

Wow, what a great father.

[gavinpow77]

When children's telly wasn't all beakers and 'sports candy'. lol Have the chocky series on DVD and love it. James Hazeldene is sadly gone now.

[straker2]

Good to see that bloke off The Omega Factor finally had a son...weird that the blonde bloke off UFO wants to kidnap him, though... :) Love this show!

Ade

[Tobycek]

Yep he was Straker in UFO, and Captain Blue from Captan Scarlet!

[Fiaolwaldarn]

I watched (and loved) Chocky from what was Czechoslovak Socialist Republic at that time.

I agree that there is a certain trend in movies - away from certain qualities to easier consumption.

[peacemtn]

nifty

[mistofoles]

Believe it or not, the blondish guy with the thick glasses was "BOBA FETT" in the original STAR WARS movies!

[gluepot66]

BOBA FETT in starwars was he lol

[tallirasha]

i remember this from when i was like 5 scared the crap out of me

[Agui007]

I too loved Chocky as I was between 6-8 at the time. The lad who plays Matthew acts well and you don't feel like throttling him. They don't make programmes like this anymore.

[Perranporth]

Ooh, there's a huge irony there! The actress who played his sister who asked if there were still windmills appeared in Jonathan Creek years later - in his windmill!

[backpackcamera]

I guess so, I DL'd it all I think it came from a DVD. First season is by far the best though.

[Welshwanderer]

OMG, I got the first dvd from Zavvi not long ago..any1 know if this is released yet?
