What was Hong Kong like in the early 1960s and late 1950s?

I want to start by thanking you all for creating such a fascinating and insightful website. My grandmother lived in Hong Kong until she moved to England in 1960 or 61 when she was 20. She has been back to HK many times for holidays, but laments that she wishes she had stayed there. Of course I don’t mention that I wouldn’t have been born if she had stayed (I’m half Chinese and half white British)!

Research for BBC 1 Series written by Peter Moffat

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.
