The nature of Monkey is IRREPRESIBLE!!!!!

Advantages: Chock full of humour and great ethos
Disadvantages: Special effects are now so dated.

I firstly must stress this is not for everybody. There are many things that people will not like about this programme. The biggest thing is the special effects. This was made in the seventies and early eighties and on a cheap budget. But the programmes do have some good appealing factors The programme is Japanese, with Japanese actors, telling a Chinese story. It is based around 4 central characters. These are Monkey {Great Sage and equal of all ...

Long before Jack would come and save the day...

Advantages: Very entertaining, unique; a classic in its own right
Disadvantages: Looks a little old; acting could be a bit better

MacGyver is a popular American television series first on between 1985 and 1992. I was a bit too young to appreciate it when it was first on. I started watching it towards the end with my cousins and I was immediately hooked. Luckily, it was shown again afterwards. BACKGROUND It's about stories of an extremely intelligent secret agent, MacGyver. He always works alone on tasks assigned by the government. Although this is an American show, the majority ...

Significant items he often uses are Swiss Army Knife and duct tape. Of ...

So that's how Callan was recruited. Now SIS are basically the part of British intelligence that have carte-blanche to do what they want - or are told to do. Anyone they are watching who is in a red ...
...And that's where David Callan often came in. You see, Hunter regarded Callan as his top operative. So if there was a killing to be done, Callan got the job. But that's where the show is so good - unlike most spies / agents, Callan had a real conscience. He hated killing just because he was told to do so. He wanted to know the reasons why, and often took it upon himself to find out. Which got him in trouble with the boss. At one point in the series, ...
