Hello,
I'm script editor on a BBC1 series called The Last Post, written by Peter Moffat and following the lives of the Royal Military Police and their families in the 1960s and 70s. We are currently researching Hong Kong during this period for a possible second series (the first is set in Aden) and are keen to build up as vivid and holistic a picture as possible of the area and life within it at that time. The show will not just be restricted to life within army barracks so we are keen to hear from civilians as well.
If anyone is interested and happy to talk - either on the phone or to simply to share some memories/photos over email, we'd love to hear from you.
Very best, Ella

Hi Ella,
How can readers contact you?
Some material on Gwulo that might help give a flavour of the time includes several sections of ACB's History of HK, starting with "Hong Kong in the late Fifties and early Sixties", and also the gallery of photos from the 1960s.
Regards, David
Thank you
Hi David,
