Their shows include structured reality show Made in Chelsea for E4 ^[6], The Real Housewives of Cheshire for ITVBe^[7] and Don't Hate the Playaz for ITV2. Further to more recent projects, Monkey has produced a plethora of series including music entertainment show TFI Friday, game show The Question Jury for Channel 4^[8]and the UK’s first bisexual dating show The Bi Life for E! UK.^[9]

Monkey is also responsible for developing and producing shows for NBCUniversal’s US networks, E! and Bravo, for which it has produced Tour Group and Newlyweds.^[10] Other US network partners include ABC, Discovery, Lifetime, TBS, MTV and GSN.
