Guy Shirra moved to Hong Kong from England and served as an officer for the Royal Hong Kong Police force from 1967 until the Handover in 1997.

His stories are surreal and there were far too many for us to fully cover. He talked about terrorism from across the border in the '60s, corruption, opium raids in the Kowloon walled city, and the catastrophic Po Shan Road landslide at which he was an early responder.

Guy's fantastic autobiography The Accidental Prawn is available on Kindle here. Hard copies are available at Bookazine, Jelly & Walsh and the HK Book Centre, or by emailing guyshirra@gmail.com.

Join us on Patreon for a bonus ep every Thursday and other killer content. This week Guy talked about a horrific arson attack in Tsim Sha Tsui, and other crazy stories from walking the beat: https://www.patreon.com/hohopod
