Right, I've got fed up with Google so it's upto you guys.

I remember as a kid an English TV show based on Hong Kong police, basically the Bill but in Hong Kong.

It would have been on somewhen between 1983 and 1990 and all I really remember is the start of one episode with a male and female detectives going into a block of flats where an old chinese man was sat on a chair with his feet in a bowl of water electrocuting himself.

Anyone else remember this or am I going mad?

I'm almost certain the main protangonists where english which rules out Chinese Detective, but Yellowthread St could be close if only there was an episode list somewhere.

But for now I'm going to say it was YTS and it should at least stop me wonder thank you smile
