Monkey Business (1993)

Monkey Business: PG Tips is a brand of tea in Great Britain, and it's television adverts star a group of chimps. When the video was made in 1993, PG Tips were celebrating over 30 years of a family of chimps, the Tipps family, and it was released as a promotional video. The back of the case reads: "Welcome to the long awaited collection of the most popular TV ads for one of the great British institutions - a PG Tips cuppa. "Presented by Tony Slattery, this memorable video includes everybody's favorite characters from the whole Tipps family including mr Shifter - the piano remover, Brooke Bond - the immaculately cool secret agent and Dolla and Ada - the gossiping housewives to mention but a few. "On his chase to catch up the Tipps, Tony finds himself in numerous ridiculous situations, including pedalling furiously in teh Tour De France, being run over by motorcars in the Grand Prix and even by Ben Hur's horses! "The footage is taken from over 30 years of the prime PG Tips commercials and every one guarantees laughter time and time again. "Ingenious, original and hugely entertaining, this video will be a popular addition to everybody's larder!"
