An Adaptation of a Chinese Folktale about a
Pilgrimage to the West undertaken by a Monk
and his Divine Guardians.
Monkey is the story by Wu Ch'êng-ên based on the ancient
Chinese legend tracing the origins of Buddhism. It follows
the adventures of Tripitaka and disciples Pigsy, Sandy and
of course Monkey, on their journey from China to India to
fetch the large vehicle holy scriptures which will save
the world.
The series ran for two seasons of 26 episodes each. The first
season ran from October 1978 to April 1979. The second season
ran from November 1979 to May 1980. Both seasons had footage
shot on location in northwest China and Inner Mongolia.
The show is unusual in that it was performed by Japanese actors
in China and then dubbed into English. The English language
version was produced by the BBC and broadcast in Britain and
Australia in November 1979. The script for the dubbed dialogue
was written by David Weir. It ran for only 39 episodes, because
at the discretion of the BBC select episodes were not dubbed for
the original run. These remaining episodes were dubbed by Fabulous
Films Ltd in early 2004 by the original actors following a
successful release of the English dubbed series on VHS and DVD.
The missing 13 episodes were shown on Channel 4 in the
United Kingdom on 8 September 2004.
Special Effects for Most of the Series were Performed by
Teisho Arikawa.

Quote:
In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned.
Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when its
feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet
again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the
pure essences of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, the
powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain
rock old as creation, and it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought. Tatagatha Buddha, the
father Buddha said "With our thoughts, we make the world."
Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then
came a stone monkey...
The Nature of Monkey was Irrepressible!
Showing alongside such Fellow Classics as The Goodies and Roger Ramjet,
Monkey was Must See TV During the 70’s and 80’s for a Legion of Fans
From Allover Who would TUNE into the Show.
10 Things We Didn't know About Monkey...
With it’s memorable theme song and poorly dubbed over English voices, the
story of a half man/half ape who could fly on a magic cloud was a schoolyard
classic.
We’ve decided to dig up some fun facts you may not have known about your
favourite hero who was “born from an egg on a mountain top!”
1. Monkey had a VERY low budget, all of the sets were recycled and the
supporting cast played multiple roles.
2. Only 2 series of 26 episodes each were made, and were filmed in China
and Mongolia, using Japanese actors and crew.
3. The theme song “Monkey Magic” is sung entirely in English and was never
recorded in Chinese or Japanese!
4. Masako was a Japanese model and actress who played the role of the monk
Tripitaka, sadly passed away in 1985 from Leukaemia at the age of just 27.
5. Toshiyuki who played Pigsy in the first series went on to feature in 21
6. As well as English, the show was dubbed into Spanish as well as Zulu for
broadcast in South Africa
7. Yukihide Takekawa (the vocalist from the Japanese band Godiego who did the
music in Monkey) still performs in Japan, and he always sings “Monkey Magic”
8. Despite it’s popularity, filming ended abruptly during the second series
apparently due to budget issues
9. Jon Fukuda who directed Monkey also helped direct several Gozilla movies
10. At the end of the story all the main characters get a reward. Pigsy becomes
the Cleanser of The Altars, Sandy becomes the Golden Bodied Arhat, and both
Tripitaka and Monkey become Buddhas.
