Phoo Action is a one-hour TV pilot produced by BBC Three. It is based on the comic strip Get the Freebies, created by Jamie Hewlett and Mat Wakeham.

Told from the perspective of the disaffected teenage female protagonist, Whitey Action, the series follows her as she joins forces with the tough kung-fu cop Terry Phoo to form an unlikely crime-fighting duo who thwart the many mutant miscreants of the Freebies Gang on the streets of London in 2012.
