Hewlett’s PHOO ACTION on BBC3
Jamie (Gorillaz) Hewlett’s strip Get The Freebles which ran in The Face, has been turned into a British TV show called PHOO ACTION. It stars Carl Weathers, Jaime Winstone and Eddie Shin.
Creative Director Jamie Hewlett says: “I think it’s the most weird and radical thing that the BBC have taken on since the Young Ones first aired in the early Eighties.
“The script, the cast, the crew, the costumes and the look are all fantastic and the BBC have let the programme stay true to the original idea in every way.
As you can see from the illos, it has stayed true to the Hewlett look. View the trailer at the MySpace page.

Hewlett has always been in top form, I’ve loved his work from the start.

Jamie, like Rob Schrab, are such gifted people in many media, I just wish they would make more comic books. At least Rob is fiinishing up Scud for us.

Don’t forget the writing talents of Mat Wakeham either. He was instrumental in the early days of Gorillaz and also wrote and co-directed the Charts Of Darkness documentary.

Mat Wakeham was also one of the chief contributers to Deadline magazine in the 90s, creating strips such as Mr Wonky and writing Planet Swerve, alongside Glyn Dillon and Alan Martin (Tank Girl)
