		As for Matthew himself, to my mind he looks and acts a bit younger than his supposed age, coming over more like a bright ten-year-old, but then his original was a 1950s (or at most early 1960s) twelve-year-old, not a 1980s one, so perhaps the makers of the serial were being true to their source.
		Otherwise, the focus is how matthew's involvement with Chocky impinges on his otherwise pretty normal sort of life, with his teachers raising their eyebrows about the sudden enhancement of his academic and artistic performance.
		Though Chocky manifests as a swirl of blue light, this is a rare piece of TV science fiction that sticks to the domestic arena, exploring ideas rather than playing with special effects.

		Chocky was produced by Thames television and shown in 1984 on ITV (although completed in 1983).
		Chocky was no doubt one of the best childrens science fiction dramas to be seen on television and has been long over due for a place on Little Gems.

	SpaceBooks.co.uk - Chocky (Puffin Books) (buy new from £6.39 or used from £0.01) by John Wyndham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This novel is a record of the ambiguously sexed Chocky's impact on the lives of the Gore family.
		Had it been written today, Chocky could have well been a menacing presence, most likely would have been misconstrued as attempting to conquer the mind of this one child and perhaps next, the world entire.
		Don't be fooled if your only contact with John Wyndham's Chocky was via the original 1984 children's TV series: the book was never intended for children, and indeed is written in a much darker and more fascinating way.

	chocky - review at videovista.net
		Talks with the psychiatrist reveal that Chocky is an explorer, teacher and scout for a peculiar extraterrestrial race of beings that travel as pure energy through space.
		Chocky is inspiringly mature and intelligent for kids' TV but, as its source was the mind of one of Britain's finest genre authors, perhaps this is not very surprising.
		Chocky is comprised of six, 25-minute episodes (transferred to disc here, in their entirety), and its 1980s' success led to sequel series, Chocky's Children (1985), and Chocky's Challenge (1986).

	Essay on Chocky - TV Vs The Book
		Chocky The Novel Chocky was written by John Wyndham and was later adapted into a TV drama by the BBC.
		The producers, Pamela Londale and Vic Hughes, kept the same title for the TV series as the Novel, and named it Chocky, but the Film text had some changes in events, different character interpretation and alternative way of showing foreshadowing.
		This concludes my Essay on the differences between the Film Chocky and the original Novel, and I would have to say that apart from the annoying accents, the pathetic acting and the lack of special effects it was quite an interesting series.

	Cult TV - Reviews - Chocky Really Minty!
		Aside from the final televised adventures to date of Doctor Who, the jolly japes of Robin of Sherwood, and the beginnings of Red Dwarf, there was actually very little British "Cult" TV output that has remained at the forefront of memory from the 1980s.
		Chocky, and the two sequels, Chocky’s Children, and Chocky’s Challenge appeared one a year from 1984 to 1986.
		Throughout the trilogy, a succession of teenage characters find themselves a target for the establishment, and it is the alien "Chocky" who helps them on their path of discovery.

		What I hate most about it is how unrecognisable the character of Chocky herself is from the original novel/series.
		In that first story, it's established at the end that she has to leave Matthew and never openly communicate with children again as she foolishly miscalculated the greed of humans and placed Matthew in great danger.
		In "Chocky's Children" - the not-so-bad second story, it's neatly explained that she's learned from her previous mistake...

		With her father to help Albertine convinces the University to fund a special project that is to be staffed by child prodigies.
		With the children recruited a 'gestalt' under the influence of Chocky is formed and sets about investigating a possible lead on a new, limitless power source.
		Chocky's Challenge suffers a little from the law of diminishing returns that all sequels succumb to, but is still rooted in the reality of a recognisable everyday world rather than the sci-fi of spaceships, robots and marauding alien invaders.
