What happens

Zokko! is a BBC television programme for children that ran for twenty-six twenty-two-minutes episodes between 1968 and 1970. It was devised by newcomer Paul Ciani and veteran children's TV producer Molly Cox and was ground-breaking in being the first children's "television comic". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
