When I was a kid, one of my favorite TV shows was Monkey.

It was a Japanese TV series based on Chinese legends that was dubbed into English by the BBC.

The series is based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. The Monkey king (Sun Wukong in the Chinese version) helps a Buddhist priest on his journey to recover some sacred scrolls. In Japan the series is known as Saiyuki.
