Chocky - TV Vs The Book

The Novel Chocky was written by John Wyndham and was later adapted into a TV drama by the BBC. The producers, Pamela Londale and Vic Hughes, kept the same title for the TV series as the Novel, and named it Chocky, but the Film text had some changes in events, different character interpretation and alternative way of showing foreshadowing.

The Film version differs quite a lot from the Novel. There were a number of changes to the plot, but most of these were only little issues. One of the major differences in plot was Matthew's relationship with Colin. Colin was Matthew's next door neighbour in the Novel, but there was no close friendship or relationship between them. However in the Film, Colin is Matthew's best friend, classmate and neighbour, whom Matthew was always visiting and playing with.

One of biggest changes occurs in the character Piff. Piff was Polly's long gone imaginary friend in the Novel who was only talked about, whilst in the Film Piff was still around and living.

The two texts had quite a few different character interpretations. One of the major differences being in the interpretation of Chocky. In the Novel Chocky was only a voice in Matthew's head which Matthew would translate to other people, whilst in the film she had an actual voice which was presented by the Actor, Glynis Brookes' voice. Also in the Novel Chocky would not show herself to anybody, but in the Film she showed herself to David and Matthew.

This concludes my Essay on the differences between the Film Chocky and the original Novel, and I would have to say that apart from the annoying accents, the pathetic acting and the lack of special effects it was quite an interesting series. It was not like anything I had expected to see from the BBC.

Foreshadowing in films is extremely different from foreshadowing in books. Books use hints or clues in words whilst films use music or colour. In the Film, Chocky, the Director used really spooky music to give us hint when something unusual was going to happen. Sometimes they would show the place where the bad thing was going to happen a few times. One example of this was at the river. The camera kept showing shots of the
