I'm having a silly debate with a friend over the opening title sequence of "Monkey" series 1, which was broadcast on ABC TV in Australia throughout the 80's.

He insists both the words "Monkey" and "Magic" appeared as textual titles in the opening sequence.

Certainly the show is known as "Monkey Magic" by fans because of the theme song, but from memory the opening sequence only had the title "Monkey". It was identical to this version on YouTube: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=5iUMWy4hqAg

He also claims they "reverted the title back" to "Monkey" for the Australian DVD release. As I do not have VHS recorded copies of any Monkey episodes I don't have proof.

So I'm wondering if somebody in Australia has copies, or knows of an online digitised version of the ABC opening sequence?

I'm 99.9% certain the textual title was just "Monkey" in all ABC Australia broadcasts and the word "Magic" was just part of the theme song.

I recall only Monkey... but I'll ask the wife tomorrow...
