Yep me too, don't recall water margin, but spent many happy hours watching Monkey, Harold LLoyd and hoary old dinosaur films - what was the one that was in a Western setting?

Watching Monkey was frowned upon in our house. That made it all the more exciting to sneakily watch it and try and find out why we weren't supposed to!?! Hindsight says it was either the Buddhist angle, the fighting, or both. Must ask my parents about that...

Harold Lloyd was a great show. It's coffee break and YouTube time....

Yep that's it Valley of the Gwangi. Cowboys vs Dinosaurs. Now that's a pitch

going slightly back on topic

I enjoyed Enslaved, but hwo much better would it have been if it was just a straight version of the monkey series instead of a re-imagining of the book!

I didn't watch any of those shows, but I did watch Tucker's Luck.

DEF II. Weird line of shows and gave the UK Antoine De Caunes and , therefore, Eurotrash!

Cracking film that - dinosaur effects by Ray Harryhausen, of Jason & The Argonauts and Clash Of The Titans fame (in case you didn't know).

right channel, wrong timeframe, DEF II started in 1988 and ran till 1994 (I googled, I don't have some weird encolypedic knowledge of 1980's BBC2 tv, honest )

Heh, have The Water Margin as a ringtone. Always preferred Monkey though....

Born in an egg on a mountain top....what a classic opening line. Remember all the characters names? Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, Tripitaka. Could never work out if Tripitaka was male or female. I'd guess at female. Oh, and his cloud....i loved that.

As for Harold Lloyd...a pair of glasses and a smile...reminds me of me

I can't remember too many other shows though, tbh...was Kickstart on BBC2? I thought that was epic

Wasn't Monkey on Channel 4 on Friday evening (about 6 oclock)?

[Antiriad2097]

Channel 4 didn't exist then. Monkey was originally broadcast by the Beeb in 1979
