In what can only be described as a ridiculous pursuit, I recently Googled "Chock-a-Block merchandise" in the hope it would reveal that there was a 1982
Chock-a-Block annual. But it didn't. As there never was any
Chock-a-Block merchandise. However, the internet is full of enterprising and creative individuals, so there is
some merchandise available. It may not be official, but this doesn't necessarily stop it being amazing. And this is best demonstrated by a particularly creative individual on Redbubble who has designed a lovingly accurate
Chock-a-Block illustration.
You can buy it printed onto virtually anything: socks, posters and, I'm not even lying, shower curtains. Stepping out of a
Chock-a-Block shower curtain isn't something I've ever considered and, to be truthful, I think it would be a folly too far even for me. But, nestled away in the listings, there was a brilliant mug which espoused nostalgic wonder and instantly had me humming the legendary theme tune. So, I bought it and two days later it was here.
You can find the mug - and all the other variations of the design -
over here.
