Phoo Action

Phoo Action was shown on BBC3 last night and was the very definition of the word bonkers. If you can imagine a Jamie Hewlett comic done right, it was like that. Tricky I know.

It was funny and crazy, had bright primary colours like the sixties version of Batman, it had kung-fu fighting, a cool car, a great soundtrack, some dancing, blue mutants and William and Harry Windsor. Also, in a crazy genius twist, the Buddha's loincloth mutated into a pair of white hotpants (see picture) out of which objects could be magically pulled.

Of course.

I hope they make a series because this show could become a classic. If you're in the UK it's on the BBC iPlayer for this week, I recommend it. If you're elsewhere you'll have to make do with the trailer which doesn't really capture the humour.
