There was also two sequel shows, each containing six episodes - 'Chocky's Children' in 1985 and 'Chocky's Challenge' in 1986
Thank you Susan, will try and find the sequels.

Trigger Point: Season Two

Vicky McClure is RoboEXPO, the bomb disposal officer who doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, and seems completely unaffected when people blow up in front of her.

This exists in a world without occupational health, PTSD, family lives, and where the antagonist is cartoonishly loathsome.

It's very watchable though. I'm on the fourth episode and will definitely watch all six.

First series was just ok, wife and me felt like they was trying to hard to be itv answer to line of duty but fell a little flat, but we have heard it is a step up and better.

Finished Smallville. Really struggled with the last two seasons, with the ever-shrinking cast and most of the great characters gone, plus some really tedious plots. Season 10 barely has four characters left with even Chloe AWOL for most of it, though I probably preferred it to 9 since we did at least get John Glover back for a few eps as Evil Alt-Lionel. I can see why I watched it all, but also why I didn't watch to watch it again for so long. Season 8 was surprisingly good but the last two were agonising at times... Def went on too long.

Currently watching DANGER UXB through again.
Great show. I remember lying down in front of the TV each week when it first aired on ITV in 1979.
The opening music and montage is awesome and is one of the great TV show opening titles.

I rewatched it last year via the dvd box set. Really good show. The pier episode was a gut wrencher.
