Martial arts action hero Bruce Lee is to be brought back to life in a TV series.

A Chinese television company has spent more than £4 million making a biography series, called The Legend of Bruce Lee, which is due to screen soon.

Danny Chan, the Hong Kong actor who plays Lee, said this is China's first movie or series on the actor.

He said: "We've only seen the glorious side of Bruce Lee, he comes out all guns blazing, his films are entertaining. But very few people know what injuries he suffered and what grievances he suffered."

The TV show even reveals Lee was afraid of cockroaches.

Lee died of swelling of the brain in 1973.
