Postcard from Hong Kong

S07 E01 • Tuesday, Aug 27, 1996 • Aug 27

Clive James sends a Pre-Handover postcard from Hong Kong at a time of change, with only a few hundred days until its lease reverts to China. Includes a ride in a leaky sampan, a night at the races, a game of tennis in the grounds of Government House, an interview with Governor Chris Patten, a meeting with Lord Lichfield on a glamour model shoot, and a visit to plutocrat Kai Bong Chow and his socialite wife Brenda in their `House of Gold'.
