Jason Tripitikas é um adolescente americano, fanático por heróis de artes marciais e obcecado por clássicos de Kung Fu. Visita frequentemente uma loja de penhores em Chinatown, à procura de filmes a preços baixos, e numa das vezes faz uma descoberta extraordinária: encontra um bastão igual à arma lendária do sábio guerreiro, o Rei Macaco. O proprietário da loja explica-lhe que o bastão se encontra penhorado desde o tempo em que o seu avô geria a loja, há mais de 100 anos, e que nunca foi reclamado. Durante um assalto inesperado, o proprietário da loja é baleado e confia o bastão a Jason, pedindo-lhe que o devolva ao seu legítimo dono. Com a relíquia na sua posse, o adolescente encontra-se subitamente na China Antiga, onde conhece dois mestres de Kung Fu. Estes, juntam forças não só para ensinar ao jovem artes marciais, como para se lançarem numa perigosa aventura: libertar o Rei Macaco aprisionado há mais de 500 anos.

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 1998

7.40

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.
