Cult Classics on ITVX

[rogue69]

Was just scrolling through the Dramas on ITVX and came across classic shows like Monkey, Sapphire & Steel, Fireball XL5, UFO & Timeslip as well as more modern shows like being Human, Arrow, Gotham & From Dusk Til Dawn. There are also a few anime series too

Monkey hits that sweet spot between borderline unwatchable and utterly amazing. Love it. The Water Margin too.

I found Terrahawks on iplayer the other week. It's painfully slow (and Ninestien sucks) but looks just as cool as it did in the 80s, plus Windsor Davies.

My teenage self lived for those series. 6pm on BBC2.

I watched the Monkey reboot on Netflix- it was watchable and some of the episodes were decent

Being the massive nerd I am I have actually seen SAIYUKI, the original series adapted into Monkey for unassuming gaijin.

It's a by the numbers, often times amusing little retelling of Journey to the West, but by no means an exemplary representative of Tokusatsu from the era. I do wonder what the dub could possibly bring to the narrative, maybe a side of casual racism and tongue in cheek ribbing.
