Zokko!

Zokko! is a BBC television programme for children that ran for twenty-six twenty-two-minutes episodes between 1968 and 1970. It was devised by newcomer Paul Ciani and veteran children's TV producer Molly Cox and was ground-breaking in being the first children's "television comic".

Description
It featured a mixture of animations (e.g. Disney 'Fantasia' highlights/'Felix the Cat'/specially made sequences by Ted Lewis and Malcom Draper) and music hall jokes ('Knock-Knock' etc.). Viewers were asked to send in their own jokes. Apart from a compilation of highlights, only two complete episodes remain in the BBC's archives, both from the second series. These episodes were Season 2 episode 5 (3 January 1970) and Season 2 episode 13 (28 February 1970), the latter being the final edition, and episode 5 being the first episode to be broadcast in the 1970s. Both series’ were made in black and white. The second series omitted the pinball machine links, which were replaced by pop-art captions heavy on exclamation marks and question marks, linked with a similar electronically treated voice; "All for fun - fun for all - it's Zokko!" The main title theme was music by Brian Fahey and was released as a single, under the name Zokko's Band. Try Again Jonah! was also a feature on the show. ==References==
