Loosening the Screws

Jonathan Dimbleby presents a five-part documentary series charting Chris Patten's governorship of Hong Kong. China turns on the heat, promising to tear up the Patten blueprint. Growing anxiety in Hong Kong about civil rights after 1997 form the backdrop to the 1995 elections, held under the 'Patten rules'. A triumph for democracy is claimed, but already Patten faces new conflicts with London as well as Beijing.
