Zokko

Zokko

"Zokko!" was a BBC television programme for children that ran on Saturday mornings between 1969 and 1971. It was devised by veteran children's TV producer Molly Cox, and featured a mixture of animations, film clips, and narrated cartoons. The show was named after its "presenter", a talking pinball machine (designed by Mike Ellis,the father of "Blue Peter" presenter Janet Ellis,and grandfather of singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor) which introduced the clips. The programme is regarded as "the first televised children's comic" ("The Independent" 7 November, 1991 p 35). Apart from a compilation of highlights, only one complete episode remains in the BBC's archives.
