Monkey Magic was absolutely huge over here in the 80's Finti, if you ask any bloke over the age of 23 about Monkey Magic they will always say, "Moooooooooooonkeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy!", in the same way it was said in the programme.
I spent many a school break time running round the playground pretending to be the monkey man. 😄
Monkey
Hi, I'm the webmaster of http://www.monkeyheaven.com/ - just thought I'd shed some light on the TV show "Monkey" that someone was asking about.
It's a Japanese live-action TV show from 1978, which was dubbed into English, shown in the UK, Australia and New Zealand - but was never shown in the USA or Canada.
The TV show "Monkey Magic" is a much newer animated adaptation of the same series.
The Monkey DVDs consists of 52 episodes released across 13 DVDs. The first 7 DVDs have already been released, with DVDs 8 - 13 being released in 2003, starting this month.
For full details on the DVDs, release dates, where to order etc., see this page on my web site:

Hope this helps 😉
By the way, for those in the UK, Monkey will be returning to UK terrestrial TV in under 2 weeks' time - it will be screened on Channel 4 at 12.30am on Friday evenings, starting Friday 24 January 2003.
Let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll do my best to help.

Yup.
You, Ush and I are about the same age so all those are classics in my book. Do you also remember a cartoon about this guy lost in space with a little red robot, it was called "Ullycies" or something like that. Thats so old I can hardly remember what it was about now.
My other favourite childhood programmes were: -
Danger Mouse
Duck Tales
Inspector Gadget
Count Duckula
Mr. Ben
King Rolo
Pigeon Street (Who remembers "Long distance Clara"?)
