Presenter Toby Amies meets charismatic Hong Kong
fashion tracker Davena Mok, who kits him out with
the latest gadgets and accessories he needs to thrive in this pulsating
town. Social columnist and feng shui expert Nury Vittachi
gives Toby an insight into three Hong Kong passions – money,
horse racing and feng shui – and invites Toby to a fancy dress
cocktail party thrown by the wealthy Harilela clan.
While sourcing a suitably outrageous costume, Toby
meets fashion designer William Tang, who invites
him to his ancestral village and unveils a family connection to
Hong Kong that stretches back nearly 1,000 years. Toby joins William
to celebrate the Chung Yueng Festival.
Davena introduces Toby to movie producer Bey
Logan for a little one-on-one martial arts choreography
and an insider’s guide to Hong Kong movies. Toby hijacks Bey’s
storyboard artist to create a martial arts fight sequence with Toby
as the hero.
Bey introduces Toby to Marine Police Officer Tim
Worrell, who has the fastest boat in town – bar none.
Tim takes Toby on both a two-man kayaking expedition to the harbour’s
tranquil corners and a high-speed night patrol to hunt down smugglers.
Toby meets Hong Kong’s reluctant Dr Doolittle,
Sue Burnett, at an animal workshop for troubled
pets, where she reveals her capacity to talk to animals.
Artist
Amy Cheung invites Toby on a photo shoot, capturing
workers making paper offerings for the dear departed. Amy and Toby
get up to mischief carting a life-size sculpture of a Hong Kong
taxi to the city’s busiest taxi rank, before Toby gets his
just desserts in a classic rooftop martial arts fight finale.
