The Mr. Justice column in the Sunday Sun UK paper puts the spotlight on the new TV series based on Jamie Hewlett's comic strip 'Phoo Action'. The show debuts on BBC3 later this year.
Creative director Jamie Hewlett said: “It’s exciting, it really does look great, and it is so good to see the comic strip turned into a TV drama.
“The costumes, the sets, the creatures are all really faithful to my original stuff.”
Yet, as writer Mat Wakeham readily admits, it has proved quite a challenge to bring a comic strip to life for the TV screen.
He said: “I had to try and keep true to the spirit of the characters. It’s been hard. There are differences between the comic strip and the drama. We wanted to make sure there was more emotion in the drama."
