    Not hugely familiar with it but saw a few episodes when they used to show it on Bravo.

    Used to love this when we were kids, classic stuff. I guess it's so cheap to make new kids TV nowadays that they don't bother re-running old black and white stuff or dubbing weird foreign (non-animated) programmes.

    Monkey's most recent appearance was in 2004 when it got a re-run on Channel 4 in a late night slot with the remaining episodes dubbed. IIRC it got a DVD release around the same time.

    There is supposedly a film adapation of Journey to the West (upon which Monkey is based) coming along in the next few years.

    I used to love Monkey, it was on on Friday nights. It used to annoy me when people kept calling it Monkey Magic.

    to be fair Ann22, the words Monkey Magic were part of the theme tune if I remember rightly

    I hated it. Humans pretending to be pigs, clouds, dubbing and most of all
    sexual confusion as a kid.

    I remember as a child thinking the Priest looked like a girl and thought what I perceived as a girl was a pretty girl. yet the role was a Male Role and the Priest was supposed to be male!!! which led to confusion.

    The actress Masako Natsume was actually female but played a Male in that show. Which led to more confusion as a kid where I'd heard that certain Asian performers/actors that were male sometimes played a female role when it came to stage acting.

    "In Peking Opera all the actors, even those playing female roles, are male"


    Grrrrr Damn you Monkey TV show and confusing a young pre-puberty
    red blooded Irish Male!!
