Hong Kong was Gibb's base for more than 30 years. From there he made frequent sorties to Japan, the Philippines and China, where he planned and partly realised his film on China's historical contacts with the "barbarian West".
Though always frantically busy, Gibb had a quick eye for genuine talent and was always generous in his encouragement of others. He once said that his aim was to make documentaries which an intelligent 12-year-old could enjoy and understand; and on location in remote spots he was often followed by fascinated native children he had befriended.
He never married.
