It was one of my favourites as well. They only did about 12 episodes many of which are now missing :(

I used to love a bit of Chocka Block. We recently watched a bit on YT - literally the first time since childhood.  As with all these things, it wasn't quite as good as I remembered...

I didn't realise there were so few episodes produced. How do they manage to 'lose' episodes - crap storage?

A lot of programmes were deemed outdated or unsellable overseas and the BBC, ITV etc wiped and re-used video tape. Many saturday kids shows were live and only a few got recorded so very little remains. Look up missing episodes of Dad’s Army, Dr Who, Z-Cars etc it goes into quite a bit of detail what exactly happened as it’s too long to put here.
