Britain’s favourite knitted chimp boldly goes where no monkey has gone before in ‘A Tale of Two Continents’, a romp through the history of tea. Monkey’s breathtaking performance takes the audience on an intriguing journey from ancient China to the modern day, right up to the Rainforest Alliance Certification of PG tips tea suppliers.
Excelling in his transition from your humble front room to the silver screen, Monkey stars as Shennong, legendary Emperor of China, a captain of a tea clipper and an intrepid jungle explorer…and most other roles, in fact. All this in a bid to inform his fellow tea drinkers about the intricacies of the much loved cuppa and what the Rainforest Alliance Certification really means.
‘A Tale of Two Continents’ is coming to a cinema near you from Friday 21 March to Thursday 10 April. The five-minute blockbuster will run before the family films The Spiderwick Chronicles, Horton Hears A Who, Gameplan and Hannah Montana.
And for those of you careless enough to miss this tour de force, you’re in luck. Being the generous type, Monkey is giving away a special edition DVD and movie souvenir tea towel on packs of PG tips throughout April.
Of his time on set Monkey sighed, ‘it was the best of times, it was the worst of times… but if an artiste has to kiss the leading lady to get his message across, then so be it.’
I am looking forward to this! You never can know enough about tea or China.
Anybody know which supermarkets I can get the PG monkey teatowel and DVD?
