I’m so stoked for Phoo Action! “What’s that?” you ask.
Well, it’s Jamie Hewlett’s 1990s strip, Get the Freebies, turned into a live-action TV drama. You’ve got a Buddhist Kung-Fu cop, Terry Phoo, and a feisty redhead teen, Whitey Action, fighting crime in London 2012. Oh yah, did I mention the criminals are a group of mutants called the Freebies?
Cast list
Whitey Action: Jaime Winstone
Terry Phoo: Eddie Shin
Benjamin Benson: Carl Weathers
Lady Elenor Rigsby: Talulah Riley
Lord Rothwell: Danny Webb
If the above hasn’t drawn you in yet, the script was co-written by Jessica Hynes (Spaced) and directed by Euros Lyn (Doctor Who: The Girl In The Fireplace).
