From Monday 13th till Aug 31st MONKEY LIFE on channel five UK is all about Monkey World at the memorial day Alison told us this was the New monkey Business basically! it is sadly the last series with JIM in

It was nice to see some new material at last, but so sad knowing that Jim is no longer with us.
What d'you think of the new format? I think I preferred Chris Serle's style of narration, but it's early days.
Did you see Alison's interview in Saturday's Daily Mail magazine? It's good to see the media finally taking an interest in their work.

I think its because its different some one said tonight its big brother ish, i dunno about that but after watching the other format a change will be odd at first, i just cant get enough of anything MWish but your right it was sad knowing this was Jims last series esp this year being such a milestone for them personally and profesionally

Just watched it again (thank you 'V plus' box! I've set it to record the series), this time paying full attention and not cremating the dinner at the same time. It's different, but like you, anything Monkey World related is fine by me. I've only just realised who the narrator is - I thought his name was familiar.

Have you seen the new videos posted on the MW website? The one where Alison speaks at Jim's memorial is so very sad. It can't have been easy for her....A very brave lady.

yes saw the unedited version before poor Alison she spoke at the open memorial day also just held it together there too, when her tears started to fall i blubbed **Very quietly** loads were crying

I'm not surprised that you 'blubbed', it's hard enough watching on the laptop, never mind being present!

Just watched today's episode...isn't Julio gorgeous!

yes esp when they kept this dvd on play all the time with outtakes of them both esp Jim he could be soooooooo naughty LOL you must enquire and it will be worth getting as it is good and the proffits go to his memorial fund.
Your right he is ever so cute when we saw him he is back with mam and dad now

and seeing Carli reminds me of how much he loved Jim

I had no idea that there was a dvd availble to buy. If you could give me some idea what to ask for, I'll give MW a call tomorrow.

I know what you mean about Carli. He so obviously adored Jim from their very first meeting. Alison mentions in the Daily Mail article that she goes to see Carli every day and when he sees her, he looks behind her for Jim

I dunno if it is out yet they asked people who were at the open memorial to put names down if interested and they would assess from there then let us know when they had them so in theory they will............

Did i tell you i got to meet Jeremy last time i visited he is just the same in the flesh and as cheeky as ever

You lucky thing - I've never met Jeremy. He was in Taiwan when we were there. It amazes me the rapport he has with the animals. D'you think he's the 'missing link'?

All this monkey talk, I really want to go back to Monkey World! I was so pleased to see my old friend Sammy on today's programme. He's such a lovely animal. I can't imagine how he ended up with the hooligans

By the way, still not really appreciating Andy Serkis.................

will NOT mention then i go mid OCT sorry dont shoot me Yes Jeremy has something very special a real doolittle but he does walk very monkeyfied no he is lovely tho Alison seems to have lost a lot of weight have you seen all my pics go over to my myspace page have a look havent put them all on there yet
i thimk we are just used to Chris Serle :S

You're going again! It's really good that you are prepared to make the effort - if my memory is correct you live a long way from Dorset. I would love to go again, but am pretty tied having to look after my and Mum - she has dementia.

I've had a word with MW this morning. The dvd isn't out yet, but when it is will be available to buy online, with as you said, the proceeds going to Jim's Memorial Fund. Hope it's available in time for Christmas, I can think of a few people I could buy it for.

I'm off to MySpace now to have a look at your photos.........

LOL be living there next ( SIGH i wish) Yes we do live a fair distance away but we love the place and love the whole area too but mainly MW did you like my photos then ???

I've just seen your photos! Didn't realise that you had to register to view.

Great page and what a brilliant set of photos - I adore Charlie. Lovely photos of Jim, Alison and your family too. That's what I liked about them, they always seem to make time to chat to the visitors. You can see from the photo taken at the Memorial that poor Alison has been through the mill.

Enjoyed tonight's episode......

oops sorry neither did i but if youve joined YOU JUST HAVE TO ADD ME .
Yes they are always happy for a pic and yes Alison looks tired and sad you can see it in her eyes but i had only been 3 months
Yes I ADORE CHARLIE soooooooooooooo much, did you hear that the gorgeous Pic that showed tonight of Jim and Charlie is a picture that will be a bust of him and C to be placed in the memorial garden. I love the pic you will see it Fri probably as i know Charlie is featured more that night

Glad you found out about the dvd it is worth getting and funny and sad and nice and interesting

I'm so glad I'm recording the whole series. I'll have withdrawl symptoms when it ends!
Just wish I could figure out how to transfer it to tape or dvd.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Charlie is such a character. When we were at MW I spent more time at the Batchelor Group than anywhere else. They all have such 'big' personalities.

As for My Space, when I figure out how it works, I'll definitely add you..... Until then see you back here soon!

Yes iam too if you dont get it sorted i will advise you on the recording melarchy later

YUP looking forward to seeing my boy tomoro I just adore him and to know that the bust of jim is of he and Charlie taken from a most beautiful pic i have seen it will be something special.

if you want some advice on myspace let me know Pm if you want to give me your username and i will look for you and add you if you like
