From John Wyndham, author of The Day of the Triffids, comes this chilling tale of a normal boy confronted with abnormal circumstances. Matthew had always been an ordinary boy. Even when he started talking to himself and introduced his invisible friend, Chocky, to the family, it was obviously just a phase he was going through. And all children have imaginary friends, even if Matthew's a bit old to have one. As he becomes increasingly distressed and blames it on arguments with this unseen companion, his parents become concerned. But when Matthew starts explaining binary maths and anti-gravity propulsion, concerns turn to worry. After all, Chocky is only the product of an overactive imagination. Isn't he? Chocky stars Sacha Dhawan as Matthew, Owen Teale as David Gore and Cathy Tyson as Mary Gore.

      This radio drama, which originally aired in 1967, has aged very well. The story is about a boy, Matthew Gore, who hears a voice in his head that continually asks questions. He calls the voice Chocky. His family members, concerned about his apparent conversations with no one, ask questions of their own and are finally forced to come to grips with the fact that the voice really exists. Young Gore is played by the talented Sacha Dhawan. But the voice that still echoes in one's mind long after listening is over is that of Catherine Hunt, who plays Chocky. The ethereal enhancements to her voice help make her sound positively otherworldly. S.D.D. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
