I assume there should have been one with each video. (I'm not sure exactly which cards I'm missing, but I think I have the ones for 10, 11, and 12.) Do you know whether it's possible to order the missing cards from Fabulous Films?

Hi Monkey fans, once again! I've been having another think regarding what extras could be on the UK Monkey DVDs. I was thinking how about picture galleries, actor profiles or maybe even Japanese versions of the episodes, with subtitles. They all sound like good ideas to me. Let's hear from you Monkey Fans!

Maybe for the first DVD it would be nice to have these extras, although note they would all be subject to licencing agreements and I don't know how much work Fabulous Films would want to do with regards to it: 1 - The I Love The 1970s BBC feature on Monkey. Would make an excellent and fun introduction as an extra to as what the cult of Monkey is all about. 2 - The theme tune "Monkey Magic" by Godiego as a DVD-Audio track, which could be played along with stills (Ash's new single "Burn Baby Burn" does this on the DVD-single). Future DVDs could have other songs from the Godiego soundtrack as DVD audio extras, such as Havoc in Heaven, Dragons and Demons, Gandhara, Thank You Baby etc. 3 - Stills from the show, maybe that could include the postcard to each DVD as well? 4 - A DVD player application such as PC_Friendly. The Billy Elliott DVD has this and means at least for PC users it makes things a bit simpler. 5 - Howell's sleeve notes for each episode (I assume 3 per DVD). Maybe Fabulous could ask someone like Bert Kwouk to read them out to go along with the text on screen? Those were just a few I came up with. Kind regards Warren. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + 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?
