However, something wonderful happened over on Gwulo. User hkspace_wl discovered that even though the front end of the RTHK website has been modified, the archives can still be accessed via a url. Sadly, the files cannot be listed (as far as I know) and the files have been given date names (ddmmyyyyy.mp3/m4a) without any textual description. So, in order to identify the one I did for this film, I had to go in and plug in afew different dates to find the correct archive. Luckily, the show was only ever broadcast at weekends, so it means the number of possibe dates is limited to then.
Anyway, bingo. I have since downloaded the file, converted it to .mp4 and uploaded it to Youtube for posterity. So a massive thanks to hkspace_wl for this absolute brilliant bit of help.
I shall leave the original post in as it was below for the time being.

You can hear my dulcet tones on the podcast at the following link. The James Bond bit starts at around the 20 minute mark. The program also has a large archive of past shows and are well worth a listen for anyone remotely interested in Hong Kong heritage and culture.
Many thanks to Annemarie for making me sound as though I actually know what I'm talking about...

Nice interview Phil. Your site has been an invaluable resource for my past trips to HK and I often check back in the hope that those gardens you talked about in this interview become open to the public. Lets hope so one day!
Many thanks Tokyofox. My understanding is that the Uncle who stumped up the money to save to garden from redevelopment has actually decided to live at the property and he prefers the quiet life. Therefore only a select few are given access now and again. What a pity, but it explains why all the Dragon Garden Fund related stuff has been dropped and the garden remains closed to the general public. Regards, Phil
Well annoying for the likes of us movie-location folk (and garden/nature lovers too) but I can't blame him for not wanting tourists visiting!
Regards, T-Fox!
