Car chases, kung-fu and comedy come together in the wonderfully warped world of Phoo Action, an offbeat 60-minute drama special for BBC Three.
Based on characters created by Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz, Tank Girl) for The Face comic strip Get The Freebies, Phoo Action is set in 2012, when London is in the grip of mutant criminals, The Freebies.
Only Terry Phoo, a hapless Buddhist kung-fu cop, and unruly teenage heroine Whitey Action, the daughter of Police Chief Benjamin Benson, can save the nation.
Together they form an unlikely but effective crime-fighting team who bring together chaos and comedy, mischief and mayhem, to become heroes for a future generation in the face of Britain's super-vile, super-famous mutated criminals.
Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood) stars as teenage anarchist Whitey Action, Eddie Shin (ER) as martial arts sweetheart Terry Phoo and Rocky legend Carl Weathers as Benjamin Benson, Chief of Police and long-suffering father to the rebellious Whitey.
Phoo Action also stars Danny Webb (Still Crazy, Life Begins) as the sinister and power-hungry Lord Rothwell; Talulah Riley (St Trinians, Pride and Prejudice) as Lady Eleanor Rigsby, Whitey's party-loving posh pal; and Sanjeev Kohli (Still Game) as Alan Arthanayake, a celebrity-obsessed news anchorman.
It is one of six bold and vibrant new dramas for BBC Three, being shown as part of the channel's relaunch. The others are: Being Human, Mrs Inbetweeney, The Things I Haven't Told You and W10 LDN.
