I bought this as a birthday gift for my sister, who has fond memories of the series from when it was shown on BBC TV in our childhood. The DVD set seems to be in great condition, and I’m sure she’ll be delighted with it.

"Achaaaaaa" "Born from an egg on a mountain top......" If like me, you find the nature of monkey irrepressible then you need this in your life. Tripitaka, Pigsy, Sandy and of course Monkey all on the epic journey to the west. I, on a visit to the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, found out that the journey to the west was an actual event immortalised into legend in typical Chinese fashion. This was made in China with a Japanese cast and dubbed by the BBC. I have been told an Australian company is/has remade the series but I have no other information other than this. This has strong Buddhist ethics attached, so if you are of the former communist block you probably have never even heard of this. If this is the case and you have an interest in religion it's worth a look But if you just want to (like me) pretend it Saturday in the 80's it's definitely worth a look. Monkey is the representation of mankind and not to be confused Hanuman! who is cool! I've just spotted the full series so I'm off to buy that too. "The funkiest monkey that ever popped...... He knew every magic written under the sun"Read full review
