Monkey 7

Episodes 19 to 21 from the cult Japanese fantasy series plus a bonus episode from the missing 13 that have never been shown on UK television. In 'Vampire Master' Tripitaka and his disciples are invited to stay at the Kingdom of Buddha's Law by the Prime Minister. Ill fortune strikes when Tripitaka falls seriously ill with Tibetan Fever, while Pigsy goes in search of a murdering vampire.

'Outrageous Coincidences' sees the pilgrims forced to seek shelter from a blizzard in a mountain cave. Monkey tricks Pigsy into sacrificing himself and so providing food for the ailing Tripitaka, who is consequently ridden with guilt over having eaten his swinish follower. To Monkey and Sandy's consternation, Tripitaka now begins to take on several of Pigsy's less appealing characteristics! 'Pigsy, King and God' has Pigsy welcomed as a deity when the pilgrims arrive at the Kingdom of Red Hog, while Tripitaka discovers that the current king is in fact a disguised demon bent on wedding the innocent Princess Green Lotus.

The bonus episode - 'Between Heaven and Hell' - is presented with English subtitles.
