Whicker's Orient - Alan Whicker (1972) - 24 Repulse Bay Road, Hong Kong
Another interview undertaken by Whicker is of K.T Woo, a local newspaper editor. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find much about him so if anybody reading this can point me in the right direction, please feel free to leave a comment. What's interesting from a location point of view is that the interview looks as though it is being undertaken from the verandah of an old building that used to occupy #24 Repulse Bay Road. Sadly, I don't have anything other than slightly blurry aerial images to confirm the location but at one point the camera is pointed to the nearby house (still around) at #28 down the road. Another part of the interview, regarding illegral immigrants, is conducted in The Freedom Swimmers episode.

The "K.T." in Mr. Woo's name stood for Kyatang. He was the American-educated, esteemed editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong Tiger Standard and the editor of the China Mail newspapers.
I wonder if the house was an Aw family property in 1972 because the Standard would have been controlled by them at the time.
Thanks Rodney. It's possible it was an Aw property because I know they owned a house just down the road as well at #36 (see https://hkmacaufilmtvlocations.blogspot.com/2020/04/foxbat-henry-silva-1977-former-36.html?m=1).Phil
