After re-watching the 3 Chocky TV series, I re-read John Wyndham's book. He really was a phenomenal writer. The first series is faithful to the book. The second, expands the story very well. The third series is a letdown. It is generic children's sci-fi, very badly miscast and derailed by sidelining the main character who underpinned the whole story.

Moe, the cobbler rob(ot) turned green-bottle jelly wrangling farmhand, is without a doubt one of my favorite characters.
He's suffered to get where he is, and he's not about to give it up without a fight.
