This dramatised series on life in Hong Kong continued to attract huge audiences. Produced and directed with immense skill by Wong Wah-kay, it captured a weekly audience of 1.8 million. Because of popular demand its duration was extended from 15 to 26 minutes. Episodes are based on the lives of a resettlement estate family and their friends. Many of the episodes carried Government messages but these were so skilfully worked into the script that its entertainment value was not diminished. Wong Wah-kay's ability to direct the film made the whole series a visual delight even for those who did not understand the language. Themes covered during the year included everything from juvenile delinquency to the fuel shortage.
