It was bollocks actually. I wish I hadn't bothered.

i thought it would have the lowdown on the on the Japanese writers/actors etc. Instead it was a bunch of luvvies sat in some dismal Soho voiceover studio banging on about how difficult Chinese accents are.

It also featured the most excruciatingly licky narration from Richard Bacon and some bloke called Clive, who they said was the engineer, but had weird hair and a studio tan & I reckon he was on day release from Broadmoor.

Like I say, bollocks. I just gave up on it after half an hour.

The good news is that there's another 13 episodes of Monkey. But those thespian goons have ruined it for me now.
