Andrew Ellams plays the 12 year old who is somewhat befriended by a strange mist that can talk to him and helps him solve problems but also slowly learns of the human race and causes problems within the family. James Hazeldine and Carol Drinkwater play the adoptive parents who thinks their son has a imaginary friend until it all comes out slowly. A great tv show that was probably played in the afternoon.
Yes

It was broadcast on ITV (Thames Television) in 1984 on a Monday afternoon between 4:45 - 5:15 (after 'He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe' and before 'Emmerdale Farm')

There was also two sequel shows, each containing six episodes - 'Chocky's Children' in 1985 and 'Chocky's Challenge' in 1986
