What is lancelot link?

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp is a comedic spy television series that aired in the United States from 1970 to 1971. The show featured a cast of chimpanzees dressed in human clothing and performing various spy-related tasks, spoofing the popular spy genre of the time.

The titular character, Lancelot Link, is a suave and sophisticated chimpanzee who works as a secret agent for the Agency to Prevent Evil (APE). Along with his partner Mata Hairi and a team of other chimpanzee agents, Lancelot goes on undercover missions to thwart the evil plans of their nemesis, Baron von Butcher.

The show was unique in that it used real chimpanzees trained by renowned animal trainers Frank and Midge Inn. The chimps were taught to perform various stunts and actions, giving the series a comedic and entertaining twist.

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp was popular during its original run and has since gained a cult following for its absurd and humorous premise. The show's theme song, "Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp," performed by the band The Evolution Revolution, also became a minor hit.
