Zokko

Who remembers Zokko?

this was a Children's television programme from the late 1960's and early 70's that was named after it's presenter - a talking pinball machine.

It was a kind of robot/pinball machine. It would play the ball and then would say 'Zokkoooooooo.....' and would introduce whatever came next.

It had a mix of animations, film clips, magic and narrated cartoons. Apart from some highlights, only one complete episode remains in the BBC's archives.

    The show used to request you to send in jokes. I sent one in and I received a picture postcard of Zokko thanking me for my contribution.

    I think one of the serials within this programme was a space serial called "Skayne".

    I remember Zokko - he used to say Zokkooooooooooooo...Speed Ride .. and then there would be a film taken riding a roller coaster or from a racing car. Can't remember what else . Would love to see that one remaining episode!
