@johnnys_re For children in the UK of my generation , Journey to the West ( Or "Monkey" as it was known here) was a very popular show broadcast in 1980 every Friday night at 6pm on the BBC2 television channel. It was dubbed for us into English. It was magical, exciting and very funny! It introduced us to characters and stories we had never seen before, the effects were great, we loved the fight scenes and the characters were excellently played by all the actors. My friends and I all used to love playing Monkey! I believe it was also very popular in Australia and New Zealand.
