The Last Governor - 24 June
Ten years on: watch Chris Patten rescinding control of Hong Kong on BBC Parliament
In the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover, BBC Parliament gives viewers another opportunity to see 'The Last Governor', the acclaimed five-part documentary series.
Written and presented by Jonathan Dimbleby, the series charts the events leading up to the end of the British rule of Hong Kong at midnight on 30 June 1997.
The programmes, featuring extensive behind-the-scenes filming with former Governor Chris Patten, show history in the making as the political drama of the handover unfolds.
As the political, diplomatic and social issues emerge, the programmes concentrate on not just the main protagonists - the diplomats and politicians - but also on the unfolding stories of a wide range of individuals whose lives are directly and intimately affected.
1900 BST: 'A Democratic Time Bomb'
2000 BST: 'Restraint In Difficult Circumstances'
2100 BST: 'Lewis Carroll Country'
2200 BST: 'Loosening The Screws'
2300 BST: 'Another Balls-Aching Week'
