    Chock-A-Block (BBC1 1981-89)

    It has taken me over 15 years to find out what this children's TV show was called. I was so young that the only bits i could remember was a woman driving onto the set in a car and that there was a huge yellow computer involved.

    As sad as it is, id always thought to myself that i would never find out what the show was called with it being so old and i would go through life feeling incomplete, happy cant sum up how i feel now :)

    I stumbled across the description of what i could remember on the following website: HTTP://www.tvradiobits.co.uk/eightieszone/eighties1 .HTM

    I couldn't believe it! I have also found the opening music theme for the show at: HTTP://www.the chestnut.com/chockablock .htm (there are no spaces in the above URLs, IMDb prevented me from typing them in properly)

    Hopefully the following keywords will direct other people that have had trouble finding the name of this show to this page:

    "woman in a car" "kids show" computer.

    I'm going to see if i can find a video of the opening titles, or even better, one of the full shows : )

    Early Computers

    This was a children's programme where a man and a woman worked with a computer which would produce objects and there would be stories and using your imagination. This of course was in the early days of computers so therefore it was the size of your living room nowadays you would be able to carry the computer with you.

    • Trivia
      Although the episodes were mixed in transmission so that the show alternated between "Chockabloke" and "Chockagirl" each week, the episodes of Fred Harris and Carol Leader were recorded in two separate blocks.

      Fred Harris taped the first episode on 16th April 1981, then his other six editions between 24th April-15th May. Carol Leader recorded her episodes between 22nd May-4th June 1981. In the case of Crow (1981), this means the episode was broadcast just six days after it was recorded.
