Well probably because it wouldn't be finanacially viable....they can make more money by putting one undubbed episode on each DVD rather than selling them separately...an old tried and tested technique!

Weren't David Weir's scripts quite different from the original scripts? If that's the case then the missing scenes probably wouldn't make a lot of sense...

His recent credits include > English adaptations of the whole TV Water Margin series; Family > at War; Crown Court; The Lotus Eaters; Play of the Month; Man at > the Top; The Onedin Line; and Space 1999. He is a keen student of > Chinese philosophy. He also wrote a number of episodes of The Troubleshooters; I have an interview with him somewhere from the Radio Times. Has that ever been scanned in? The novel Howell refers to is well worth searching out. Cheers Martin PS. Trivia time - I bought William Orbit's 1993 Strange Cargo III CD only the other day, and was delighted to find a track on it called 'The Monkey King'. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.geocities.com/saiyuuki/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

I told Howell I'd transcribe it for him when I find it, but as I'm not sure which box it was put in when I moved house, it is likely to be a while before I track it down.

I'm an exported Londoner living in America. I have found that it is absolutely impossible to get hold of a US version of any of the Monkey DVDs. I know this is against all the rules of being a fan, but does anybody know of anywhere on the web where I might be able to download some episodes? I tried Morpheus to no avail...I need a fix of Monkey!! - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.geocities.com/saiyuuki/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
