I always wondered why they bothered driving in in the chock-a-truck when it was clearly quicker to walk to chock-a-block instead of faffing around parking the flipping thing.

When your middle aged brain,addled with a few decades of....erm....misuse.....confuses chockablock with blockaboots.....and takes you into fragments of memories of utter WTF....and makes you remember why were outside playing football/making dens/getting muddy knees/doing jumps on your bmx/grifter/strika,...playing star wars...but limiting your tv time to when something decent was on.....the bbc made the right decision wiping shite like this off the tapes and recording jossies giants over it!!!.....(i'm joking!!!....lol)

Omg I remember this! I know this sounds unbelievable as I was only a year old in 1981 but somewhere in my subconscious I can remember how vibrant all those colours were. I can remember how fascinated I was by them and that pulley out thing. Wow! I'd forgotten all about this and I'm now seeing it as a 36 year old woman it's weird....because I can certainally remember all those colourful buttons and the mouth on chocka block. I'm like a one year old living in Southampton again!!!!!

I realise now just how amazing colours look when you are a baby. As you grow up the world gets duller. Those buttons and colours really take me back and yet as an adult they look pretty mediocre. Some child psychologist earnt their money on that show....

I'm the same age as you, but I don't remember watching this until the late 80's! I read on Wikipedia that it was repeated up until 1989, so I was watching repeats. Like you, I probably did watch it as a 1 year old. My baby watches Peppa Pig lol.
