Wong Kar-wai and future Into the Fire director Lo Kin were assistant directors on this show (asst. directors were often paired up like Johnnie To and Ringo Lam). This means Wong Kar-wai and Johnnie To were discovered by the same person, star of The Killer Snakes Kam Kwok-leung.
Turns out Johnnie To has an 'Opening Titles Designer' credit. Five Easy Pieces (1980), an ambitious epic following the lives of five women from youth to old age, was the first TV series in HK to be axed. To directed several episodes and has said it's one of his favourites.

I knew Graham Greene, and he was one of the most Uncle kind of guys you could ever have known. An acting Legend, Indigenous artist, and one hell of a good man. We're poorer now, without his presence. Rest easy. We'll see each other again, further down the road.
