## New BBC Three sitcom smashes all Chinese stereotypes with a round-house kick, bursting open the door to the messy yet hilarious realities of the western world, with an eastern twist.

**The programme follows** the escapades of three *‘normal’* Chinese girls: **Elizabeth** the failed Chinese daughter, **Jackie** the feisty struggling actress, and **Fufu** the Buddhist princess, fresh off the plane and set to negotiate the trials of modern life in the capital.

The pilot episode sees Elizabeth’s crazy-rich friend Fufu visiting London for the first time – but there’s a problem: Elizabeth has lied about her job to her friends and family back home. She deals with the situation as she always does – by telling more lies and getting drunk.

Meanwhile, Jackie has a big casting for the role of a lifetime – and it’s not the usual ‘Chinese prostitute, DVD seller or takeaway girl’. This is the worst time to be babysitting a kooky new arrival.

**Chinese Burn** is one of BBC Three’s new Comedy Slices launching this autumn and written by new writing talent, Yennis Cheung and Shin-Fei Chen.

They lead the cast alongside **Yuyu Rau** and a guest performance from **Felicity Montagu** (Alan Partridge).

The Producer is **Alex Smith** (Trollied, Adolf the Artist); Executive Producer, **Ash Atalla** (The Office, People Just Do Nothing) and the Director is **Chris Cottam** (Carter’s Get Rich, Sunny D).

Chinese Burn is a Roughcut production for BBC Three and is available on BBC iPlayer on Monday, November 27 from 10am on BBC THREE.
