I loved watching Blocky for the first time, on ITV back in the late 80s/early 90s. There were no spoilers to be had *anywhere*, and characters were often written out without warning, and in the most dramatic and heart-rending ways. I think it was the last truly unpredictable continuing drama I ever watched.
Even though I've now seen the whole series, though, I still find Blocky strangely compelling and addictive. It's so dark and so in-your-face, with such a high turnover of plotlines, it's pretty much impossible to *stop* watching it!
There's nothing else like it, anywhere.
