Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Garden Road, Central
There's a very brief scene in With Deadly Sorrow that is very similar (exactly the same angle and exactly the same time of day) to one from Blind Bargain where we see a car driving up Garden Road and turning into Magazine Gap Road. Although, in this image a couple of pedestrians can be seen, I believe it was probably a different take from the same footage shot for the older episode mentioned above. The position of the tree shadows is too similar for it to have been coincidental.

Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong
This shot from With Deadly Sorrow shows us a view looking west along Queen's Road Central. If the view looks familiar it might be because the P.G sign on the left, for a restaurant called the Parisian Grill, can also be seen in this older post of Edinburgh House from the Nine Lives episode. You can see the double grooved ground floor canopy of Edinburgh House on the right in the image below. I didn't list it back when doing The Turncoat (Ep: 9) but it also appears in that episode as well as To Catch a Star (Ep:10).

Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - The Peninsula Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui
One of the sites visited in The Dragon Cup by our intrepid photo journalist is the Peninsula Hotel, so in an effort to retrace her steps, Evans takes her back to all the sites she visited earlier to recapture the lost images and to find out if there is any link between the sites and the robbery.
This image of the Peninsula Hotel appears for the first time in this episode, although as you can see, it is made to look like it is being seen through the aperture of a camera. The same image pops up again in several later episodes (Ep.21 With Deadly Sorrow, Ep.22 Murder by Proxy and Ep.24 Love, Honor and Perish). The second image is what the un-doctored shot should look like and how it appears in the later episodes mentioned above.
