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.
