Synopsis:
three adult actors manipulating life-sized puppets play a family of monkeys living in Dublin zoo. The likable central gag is that behind humans' backs, the monkeys talk and act just like humans in fact, they are the archetypical Doyle working-class Dublin family, eating "snack boxes" (take-away chicken and chips), slagging each other off, and acting rebelliously towards authority, particularly zookeepers and the Garda Siochana.
