Primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are fully grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moistures of the Earth, and the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock—old as Creation, and it magically became fertile. That first egg was named Thought, Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, 'With our thoughts we make the world.' Elemantal forces caused the egg to hatch, and from it then came a stone Monkey. The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!
Did you know there were 13 "lost" episodes of Monkey? 13 that were never dubbed into English, never shown on the ABC. Well, there were. And they found 'em a year or two back. But the really good bit is this: they were dubbed last year. By most of the original voice cast! Which is bloody lucky because less than a month after they finished dubbing these "lost episodes" the voice-actor who played Pigsy—easily the most recognisable of the bunch—kicked the proverbial.

Hi Skander
sometimes it pays to know that right peeps I tell you.
Email for details.
Yeah, I never got into monkey as a kid. It always freaked me out.
Sam, I spent half my childhood running around swinging sticks because of it.
I think I might have 2 DVDs of these episodes. I think. Last year I reviewed some "episodes that were never before broadcast in Australia" for The Big Issue.
