Fan de kung-fu et de cinéma hong-kongais, Jason Tripitika, 17 ans, rêve souvent du Roi Singe. Il découvre un jour, dans une boutique de Chinatown tenue par le vieux Hop, une longue canne - un "bo" - ornée d'un singe en bronze qui ressemble à celui du personnage de ses rêves. Quelque temps après, une bande de malfaiteurs oblige Jason à s'introduire dans la boutique pour la dévaliser. Hop est abattu d'une balle, mais il a juste le temps de confier la canne à Jason et de lui faire promettre de la restituer à son propriétaire. Paniqué, le garçon s'enfuit et, serrant la canne contre lui, tombe du toit. Quand il reprend connaissance, il se retrouve plongé dans la Chine ancienne, toujours en possession de la canne. Alors qu'il est attaqué par les guerriers de Jade, Lu Yan, un ivrogne, vient à son secours et réussit en quelques mouvements de kung-fu à le débarrasser des agresseurs.

Hi-de-Hi! 1981

7.00

Hi-de-Hi! is a British sitcom set in Maplins, a fictional holiday camp, during 1959 and 1960, and was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who also wrote Dad's Army and It Ain't Half Hot Mum amongst others. It aired on the BBC from 1980 to 1988. The series revolved around the lives of the camp's management and entertainers, most of them struggling actors or has-beens. The inspiration was the experience of writers Perry and Croft: after being demobilised from the army, Perry was a Redcoat at Butlin's, Pwllheli during the holiday season. The series gained large audiences and won a BAFTA as Best Comedy Series in 1984. In 2004, it came 40th in Britain's Best Sitcom and in a 2008 poll on Channel 4, 'Hi-de-Hi!" was voted the 35th most popular comedy catchphrase.

Dinnerladies is a BBC sitcom written by and starring Victoria Wood that chronicles the antics of a group of workers in a canteen in the north of England. Bren tries to maintain a semblance of order in amongst the chaos, while dealing with the canteen supervisor, slightly sex-obsessed cancer sufferer Tony. Dolly and Jean are the bickering menopausal older women, always at odds but best friends beneath it all. Then there's thick-as-two-short-planks Anita, and the terminally uninterested Twinkle, more concerned with having a good time than anything else. Making up the motley crew are military man handyman Stan, all rules and regulations, and ditzy Philippa, who never seems to get anything right.

The Smoking Room is a British television sitcom written by Brian Dooley, who won a BAFTA for the series in 2005. The first series, consisting of eight episodes, was originally transmitted on BBC Three between 29 June and 17 August 2004. The Christmas Special was first transmitted on 20 December 2004. A second series of eight episodes began airing on 26 July 2005. The first series, including the Christmas Special, was released on DVD by the BBC on 6 February 2006 and on CD in a four-disc set on 4 April 2005. The second series was released on 16 October 2006; a boxed set containing both series was released on the same date. There will not be a third series; in an interview for the BBC News website on 30 November 2006, the actor Robert Webb who plays Robin, said in passing, "...there is no more Smoking Room". England's smoking ban, which prohibits indoor smoking in workplaces, came into force on 1 July 2007, as a result of which internal smoking rooms, like the one in which the series is set, became illegal.
