British actress Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood) will team up with America's Carl Weathers (Rocky, Predator) and Eddie Shin (ER) in Phoo Action, a kung-fu action drama for BBC Three based on comic characters created by Jamie Hewlett.

Jaime, daughter of acclaimed actor Ray Winstone, takes on the colourful role of Whitey Action, an unruly teenage heroine who joins together with hapless Buddhist kung-fu cop Terry Phoo (played by Eddie Shin) to form an unlikely, but effective, crime-fighting team.

The year is 2012 and London is in the grip of mutant criminals. Only Terry Phoo and Whitey Action can save the nation, uniting to create chaos and comedy, mischief and mayhem to become heroes for a future generation. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wonderfully warped world of Phoo Action.

Rocky legend Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed in Rocky I, II, II and IV) stars as Benjamin Benson, Chief of Police and long-suffering father to the rebellious Whitey. And the American idol is delighted to be part of the Phoo Action.

So... yah... That's something alright. I may try and catch it unless the tv is being occupied.

Holy shit, that's a Myspace page??!! Why can't all the other fucktards that use that mop sodomy of a web site do something similar to that so that I don't feel like I've got internet gonorrhea after I've clicked a link leading to it.

The series looks like it could be really good or really horrible. The trailer doesn't tell me enough, but I got some Lexx vibes which is a really bad thing.

edit: Oh wait, the myspace page says it's a 60 minute special; not a series.

Well, I imagine like most off-beat shows in the UK they'll do something small, then follow up if there's demand.

They have an uber sexy Lancia Stratos. Instant kudos.
