    That's a great looking Pigsy! I'd definitely be interested in seeing this series.

    Kinda creepy, huh? Looks closer to the original spirit of the novel.

    Zhang Jizhong's adaptations of Louis Cha/Jin Yong's novels for TV have all been pretty well received from what I've read.

    I'd never heard of Zhang Jizhong, but I just found a bio of him on IMDB and he's quite a heavy hitter. Are any of his Jin Yong series out on DVD? (Not that they would have subtitles)

    Looks like Royal Tramp and Sword Stained With Royal Blood from Tai Seng are available at yesasia.
