Excessively dark humor and the handling of taboo subjects as if they were nothing more than that broken Transformer that you found behind your cupboard that your estranged father gave you 5 Christmases past. Poking fun at rape and murder, paedophilia and suicide as well as critiquing a late 90s society that had become strangled by its own excessively sycophantic superficiality. Following the sordid exploits of Clive Pringle, trainee Brummie terrorists, foreign call centers and a hapless unemployed voice over actor.
A world of dark alleys and dank streets Monkey Dust was one of those late night BBC3 shows that my dad never let me stay up and watch, thinking that perhaps animated sketches depicting a grotesque internet pervert grooming a 12 year old girl, or the hapless exploits of a desperate first time cottager was not really the choice viewing for his 13 year old son. Nevertheless, despite the fact that at the age of 12 I had no clue what a cottager actually was (despite using at numerous times as a playground insult after), I still snuck downstairs in the dead of a school night to watch it. Nose pressed up against the prickly electronically static screen with volume right down to one bar.
