In the tradition of Alby Mangels, Steve Irwin, Harry Butler and The Bush Tucker
Man comes Murray Foote - animal warrior, conservationist, scientist, recording
artist, good bloke and ladies man.
In 1987, Murray was fortunate to front
his own television program, 'The Urban Monkey', which unfortunately was lost,
and then rediscovered recently in a garage in suburban Melbourne. Murray's program
traces the 'Oval of Life' and radically attempts to draw parallels between the
human and animal world.
'The Urban Monkey' is a faux animal documentary
series paying tribute to a true radical, and the long lost masculinity of 1980s
Australia. Stars comedian and Triple J radio host, Sam Simmons.
