Gorillaz creator produces new TV show

'Phoo Action' set to air on UK television

Gorillaz mastermind Jamie Hewlett has produced a new, one-off television programme.

The man responsible for the cartoon band’s look as well as the music is working on a 60-minute special for BBC 3 called 'Phoo Action'.

Following a “hapless, kung-fu cop” called Terry Phoo, the show is based on “characters created by Jamie Hewlett 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”.

Phoo Action is set to air on BBC3 on February 12, though in the meantime a trailer of the show can be seen at the Phoo Action Myspace page now.
