[peterpeterxxo]

@weegerri1sm matthew goes mental, hoovers up chocky, takes it hostage..who ya gonna call..alienbusters.

[almadesueco]

Oh my god, I love this serial when I saw it in the eigthties in Spanish Tv (TVE) I'll never forget it!

[weegerri1sm]

@almadesueco

Seems it was as popular in Spain as it was in the UK. :)

Heh, I was in Spain in around '85 and '86. 'Used to love the old TVE logos/idents. Somehow seemed better than the UK ITV ones.

[wysiwyg2006]

i bet the new movie by jj abrahms and spielberg = super 8 is based on this!

[weegerri1sm]

@wysiwyg2006

Well there was talk of a Spielberg remake. Maybe this is it.

[Jerraph]

Looks like the Arthur Dent dressing gown... :)

[CastleSnowflake]

i was said when chocky left but the boy from space was my new friend

[necroturky]

I compleately forgot about this show, but every now and then i would remember it and it would be this scean, and when chocky dose come back its to a little girl insted. At least thats how i remember it.

[huntek99]

Is that boy the now fully grown guy out of that scottish programme about the laird ?

[weegerri1sm]

Unlikely. He (Matthew/Andrew Ellams) stopped acting and now teaches maths at a very upper-crust school in London.

[huntek99]

Oh well !! It was Monarch of the Glen I was thinking of...Alistair Mckenzie

[weegerri1sm]

@huntek99

Ahh, I see where you are coming from.

Very similar voice, accent (or lack of accent..) and the same vocal delivery. 'Different person though.

[ojideagu]

@weegerri1sm Ironic then that in Chocky's children he meets Albertine who's a maths prodigy.

[DONTeatLLAMAS]

@weegerri1sm Hey, I'm pretty sure he teaches me Economics..... He's a douchebag of a teacher :(

[HK379]

so sad ... yeah that would prepare you for life ....

just a glips of whats ahead ....

well , mey be it was too early ....

i dont know ... good movie it was thow ...

[abSOULuteD]

Well remeber when kids talk about their imaginary freinds... yea, never doubt them again

[divanahi]

this used to scare the shit out of me but at the same time i was addicted to that show. oh man the memories...

[kezadrone]

The last comment I left started with (This used to scare the shit out of me.) Creepy or what. There's something about this show. It just scared me again when that happened.

[kitty3309]

Erm... has he got wallpaper on his ceiling?!

I used to love watching this.

[c0olgiirl]

yo veia esta serie de niña aunq me daba como miedo, gracias por este video!!!!!!!!!!!

[beeprawn]

Thanks! Wow.... in the next episode did he smash up a clay model he´d made of chocky´s city or something? Does anyone remember?

[weegerri1sm]

That was the second series "Chocky's Children" where he smashes up a model made by Albertine Mayer, a girl who also talks to Chocky.

[beeprawn]

Hey thanks Weeger, it´s amazing to see something that´s been buried in the recesses of my mind for 25 years! What is a weeger anyway¿

I remember Chocky abandoning Matthew and him smashing up the clay city, I loved it here in Oztralia obviously when I was a pre-memory human, I read the book by John Wyndham... also buried somewhere in my mind and bookshelf.. !

[weegerri1sm]

This is a similar scene to the one before him smashing up the model.

It's not Weeger btw, it's Wee (as in small) Gerri. :)

[weegerri1sm]

Also, I forgot to mention, the scene you're talking about with the model?

Check out leangreen76's "That's Chocky" clip on youtube...

[dvhlarson]

She probably had to go on a pink floyd tour.

[weegerri1sm]

*chuckles* :P

[nestingmachine]

Haha. Nice.

[jkp147]

LOL

[dvhlarson]

His parents must have been pretty cool to let him take drugs like that.

[3Storm]

Just like most kids today with their Chocky abandonment issues...sheesh

[Misterpew]

"Forget me matthew" How the fuck can you forget that? Jesus Christ!

[destroyerdk2008]

yeah my chocky abandonned me too...

:(

[destroyerdk2008]

Reminds me of life...people come and go.

[knervos]

this show creeped me out when I was a kid ... now I see I was not the only one who got scared shitless.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I loved this, and yes it scared me to!

Sitting in the AV room at school in 1984 with those cheap carpets with gum stuck in them lol

I wanna watch this again, and 'Dark Towers' that was scary too!

They were mental to let us watch it lol

[scruffjones]

What the buggery bollocks is this !! im 36 and somewhere in the back of my tiny mind i remember this!!

[Mrkuklinski]

Oh my god this was the scariest programme i ever watched as a child , very disturbing for a 5 year old ........

[Slash0588]

wow...this programme has been in my head for years!!! as with the other comments i couldnt really remember it properly and niether could any of my friends, its like a dream where you can only remember certain things and the rest is just a blur!!! hahaha how freaky!!

[mistofoles]

I'm assuming Chocky returned, cos there were two sequels to this series!

[shweetheart1]

I wasn't allowed to watch this because it gave me nightmares...looks like i'll have more tonight! How was this allowed on tv...its terrifying!!!

[LunedeFiel]

Best series TV for me with Patrik Pacard.

We want news from actors lol....

So nostalgia :-)

Stephane (born 1973, 1 year after A.Ellams)

[kencw66]

What a blast from the past!! Don't know what made me remember this but so glad I looked it up! Oh to be 8 years old again........

[ooyreet]

[lukecopps]
