It's driving me mad - "Monkey" has reappeared on TV, in a PG Tips advert, and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the TV
business it used to advertise (the one that went belly-up).
Can anyone help?

And just how long exactly has this been bothering you…?
It appears you have monkeys on the brain.
Was it not originally called.........On Digital ?!?!?!
They took it over when Ondigital went bust.
The one with Jonny Vegas that I think ChrisG has as his avatar?
I use to watch Monkey ages ago, it was great, I think. Didn't make much sense though & if I recall he flew around on a small cloud.
Bizarre.

No - my ape has a propellor on the brain, though!

I even saw a more up to date episode a few months back whilst in China. Even more bizarre!
Yep, IIRC one of his enemies had a cloud that was running a bit rich and blew out black smoke. As you say, Bizarre.

I see, so you really are just nuts about monkeys. I bet you have watched Planet of the 'Monkeys' like a 1000 times...
So just to appease you here is another funny monkey.

??? an orang utan is an ape too
iank - 12/1/07 at 11:29 AMindeed it is...
But why would a chimp set an orang utan on someone. They are hard enough to sort him out on their own without getting the orange boys involved

Peteff - 13/1/07 at 03:48 PMApes don't. Chimps, Roddy McDowell, Gorillas and Orangs are apes. Monkeys can't lift their arms above their heads like humans, hominids and apes to swing through trees and tend to run along branches and jump instead. Watch David Attenborough some time instead of Big Brother and Celebrity, it's easy to switch over, use your opposable thumb.

Ook!
