The Hong Kong Beat

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Nine documentary programmes which take a close look at a controversial police force in action. 8: Buns, Boats and Bombs
In a colony where the unexpected is the norm, anything from a ' bomb scare ' to a ' snake call' is routine. But a small boat fire in a crowded typhoon shelter becomes a nightmare for the Marine Police. Meanwhile, at the annual bun festival on Cheung Chau Island, anti-riot squads wait anxiously. This is the day when rival
Triad gangs parade openly and when the midnight scramble begins - so will the trouble.
