Notes

"Monkey" was written by Ch'eng-en in the 16th Century and is based on a Chinese legend about a young priest Tripitaka who lived in the 7th Century AD.

He is called by the Buddha to India to retrieve some scriptures and is joined on his travels by three spirits: Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy. Their adventures on the journey form the basis of this new BBC TV Series.

Godiego are one of the leading bands in Japan and their music from the series topped the Japanese charts for many weeks.
