    Bring back the PG Tips Monkeys!!

    Can't remember if their tea was any good but I miss their adverts.

    Not PC these days I suppose...

    Stuff it - bring them back I say, Classic sketches they were :D

    Chimpanzees are in short supply, that's why there have been no new adverts.

    However I see on the telly that an awful lot of Borneo has been burnt down to plant Palms for oil, so there are a few hundred Orangutans going shonky apparently. Personally, I think they are funnier... they can blow that raspberry "fart" noise like the one on "Any which way but loose", and they are good at doing right hand turn signals. And just think how funny an Orangutan would look in a pin stripe waistcoat, wearing a bowler hat, pushing a piano up some stairs. Now THAT's comedy.

    Save the Orangutans. Get them a good agent.

    No winners this time on Takeshis castle.

    One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square

    And we'll dance around like we don't care

    And I'll be much too old to cry

    And you'll kiss me quick in case I die before my birthday

    They simply were not artistes. Their delivery and intonation were frankly plebian - I mean the producers actually had to dub most of the poor thing's lines.... and as for their quite ghastly acting craft - how they ever passed through RADA one can only guess - wooden isn't in it darling.

    Of course it's sad to see them having to take the Eastenders gig - but typecasting's a double edged sword - think of the peanuts.

    Anyone remember Suzi, the Orang-outan from Singapore zoo, she was a lovely girl..... she used to scare the shit out of tourists, by running up to thenm and hugging them, squaddies used to feed her the odd bottle of Tiger, she loved squaddies, unfortunately she caught human flu and died.


    Ahhhh, sad !

    Did they have Equity Cards???
