The nature of Monkey was ... irrepressible! Chances are that if you've got this far you're in your 40s and you'll already be leaping around kung-fu fighting the person closest to you; blowing on your fingers to summon your magic cloud and pretending to take a tiny stick from behind your ear. Give it a second and we'll have you singing along too... Born from an egg on a mountain top, The punkiest monkey that ever popped... ooh monkey magic, monkey magic... The cultiest of cult TV for an entire generation, Monkey exposed many of us to Kung Fu for the first time beyond Carl Douglas (funnily enough, my mum did let the 8 year old me watch Enter The Dragon) and we loved it.
