Synopsis
Primetime midweek quiz with celebrities in a jungle-inspired set. We dimly recall Floella Benjamin being on it as a regular team captain, Jeremy Cherfas was the captain of the opposing team and, it being a mid-80s panel game, Liza Goddard was almost certainly involved too - possibly as a guest panellist. There was some business about blocky computer-graphic monkeys appearing on the scoreboards, hence the title. Or possibly vice versa.
Otherwise, the quiz was wildlife-based - but why was Floella Benjamin, who was not famed for being a naturalist, up against Jeremy Cherfas, who was? Bizarre! One good feature was that both teams had to complete an animal-based limerick by the end of every show - these were often very funny!
