It gives me great pleasure to announce that Monkey will return to UK terrestrial TV in January 2003, after an absence of over 17 years. (the BBC's 2nd run of Monkey ended on 29 November 1985) Monkey will be returning to your screens on Channel 4 on Fridays at 11.30pm from mid-January 2003. Channel 4 plan to screen the first season of 13 episodes with the option to screen the remaining 39 if the ratings are good, so give it your support! You heard it here first - spread the word...

Following on from the news several months ago that Fabulous Films had commissioned the manufacture of a Monkey outfit, that UK Monkey fans can hire out from them, they've now had Pigsy, Sandy and Tripitaka costumes made too! Here's the information from Fabulous Films: "Just to let you know I have taken delivery of Pigsy's Sandy's and Tripitaka's costumes, they are quite stunnning!!! They are in fact accurate to the finest detail!!! I still have to make Pigsy's and Sandy's staff thingies and steal a white horse! They are available for rentals too at the same rate. I will do some photos as soon as i find some willing victims to dress up." For information on the hire rates, see the information already on this page on my web site: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/costumes_ukforhire.html The basic deal is that you would need to pay a £60 per week rental charge, plus a £400 returnable deposit. I asked Fabulous Films if / when they're planning to use the costumes themselves - here's their reply: "I have not got any concrete plans for when we are going to use the costumes at the moment. We are talking about sponsoring a premiership football match, having our name on the programme and having all 4 chracters walk out on the pitch before the game. We still want to have the 4 walking around Oxford Street/Covent Garden around the C4 launch. I am also contemplating leaving the costumes at Angels who are the major Fancy Dress hirers in London. This will make the costumes more accessible as i'm sure they can take credit card deposits etc. I probably won't do this until February though, when the launch has taken place." If you have any questions about these costumes, please let me know. As soon as I receive photos of people wearing these costumes, I'll add them to my site and will let you know.

To coincide with the UK Monkey rerun on Channel 4, Nippon Columbia Music have offered Fabulous Films a deal to rerelease Monkey Magic and Gandhara plus 3 remixes on an EP in the UK. The release could still be a while off, as the remixes have not yet been planned / organised. Does anyone have any ideas on how you'd like to see Monkey Magic / Gandhara remixed? Any favourite DJ that you'd like to see do a remix? *Anything* is possible, so even if you suggest a big-name DJ, it could be arranged - anything is possible... Let me know all your thoughts, and I'll pass on all comments received to Fabulous Films for their consideration.
