Children's Programme Skunk Fu! To Air From July On BBC

Skunk Fu!, the comedy/action animation for children, is to air on the BBC from July.
The first 26 episodes of the Irish series, which was directed by Aidan Harte and produced by Paul Young, Tom Van Waveren and Paul Cummins, will be televised weekdays at 3.45/3.50pm from Monday 9th July on BBC1 and then on Saturdays at 6pm on the CBBC Channel, from Saturday 14th July.
Aimed at 6 to 12 year olds, the series revolves around Skunk, a spunky kid learning Kung Fu from the wise old Panda, who hopes to one day help defeat the Evil Dragon and his army of Ninja Monkeys.
The series, which is co-financed by Bord Scannan na hEireann/ the Irish Film Board, is already showing on ABC in Australia.
