There is a 4 disc box set out there. Check ABC stores (online??). I got this one a few years back.

I've got the Monkey Box set on DVD had it for years and not sure where i got it, got the Goodies one mentioned but not sure where you can get all the episodes maybe JB HiFi.
Probably no chance of the Goodies being repeated on the ABC anymore, do you know any Icky Thump Panda?

There is the new tales of monkey magic on Netflix it's actually an Australian production.
I've been watching it now & then .
I loved monkey the goodies ,Kenny Everat .
Its funny how in England they were considered adult shows & as such had to be on after 9 pm but out here they were kids shows .
I remember dad came home early once & Kenny was on & it was the episode with Pamela Stevenson in the bath with her tits out & dad said maybe I should be getting home early more often & watching kids shows with me

You had me intrigued. I remember Kenny Everett and 'the solid gold dancers'. I think that's what they were called.

This brings back memories. He is actually quite funny, but i remember watching some episodes as a kid and they weren't this funny:



Mind you, I had to watch them on an old B&W TV too.

I was curious about the episode you mentioned, and I think I found it. It would have been good viewing for a teenage kid at the time. Surprisingly easy to find! Ahh, the good old days of TV...

Wasn't Monkey Magic from the great work of literature "Journey to the West"

I tried to buy a copy once, many many years ago. I recall it only came in several leather-bound volumes and cost the same as about 6 weeks pay or something so I never got a copy.

Probably download it on kindle now for 99 cents.

If you google monkey magic and click on the actress who played tripitaka you can see her boobs.

That always had me confused. Why was the character looking so feminine and it was supposed to be a monk?

The reboot seemed to make it a girl pretending to be a monk, which made more sense.

channel2 2 on a school night, The Goodies, KE, and Dr Who were pretty good entertainment, and educational

How else were you means to learn about pirate broadcasting, remote control black pudding and the monarchy?

KE was a great source for dad jokes,: my dad asked me what I want for my birthday.
I said a watch.
And he let me.

Are you sure about that? I know the recent (Aus or NZ?) release has this plot, but I think they did this to explain having an obvious female actress in this role.

I think on the wikipedia it said something like the actress chosen for the role of Tripitaka was chosen because her feminine features more closely match the suggested likeness of that character, but it was still a 'he' monk.

Yeah, portable DVD players are at least $50 at Kmart or regular ones must be around $30 now...

It would be good though if someone could digitize these when you buy them though. Its one thing to pay for the DVDs, but it is less an less practical to play them.
