Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson has been to meet the team behind it. The local music scene is the sole whose regard for subtlety and variation is comparable to a pigs passion for the slaughterhouse. In case they havent made myself clear, it wasnt very good. Morrissey the movie. The englands mind was made in manchester, filmed in the very streets and underpasses would shape the man and his music. You walk across this bridge everyday to get to school. Is director writer, mark hill, was born a mile from morrissey,. We believe this was the only office on chester road. Where morrissey was looking for a job in the 19805 Became Morri55ey was looking for a job in the 19805 became a film set. Morri55ey was looking for a job in the 1980s became a film set.

You can go and watch them, and that is what is left of them. The ginger, Scottish Morri55ey I5 not an obvious one. That sums up the film, ina not an obvious one. That sums up the film, in a way. But i do look nothing like the bloke. The whole film is a portion of him. That is probably the best way to describe it. Ways of a body concerned with my happiness . Morrissey was told the film is being made, but has yet to comment. Good or bad, it is going on the wall. Stephen Patrick Morris he certainly like the sound of his own voice. Thank you. Morrissey. Now on bbc news, The Travel Show. Coming up on this weeks travel show is this the original costume . Were on the bruce lee trail in hong kong. He wore this in game of death. Get ready to get behind this taxi. I get a lesson in how to take iconic in5tagram images from an expert. Oh, thats good. With new laptop bans on internationalflights, we look at the gadgets you can still take on board. Leejun fan, better known as bruce lee, may have been born in san francisco, but in the early 19705, he put both kung fu and hong kong on the map. Everybody was kung fu fighting. After starring in a succession of cult martial arts movies, he became the most famous asian film star in the world. And today, almost 45 years since his untimely death, at the age of 32, he is still credited as being the man who brought chinese actors and martial arts into the mainstream. Here in hong kong, theyre rightly proud of their most famous 5on. Now the film that really shot bruce lee to International Stardom wa5 enter the dragon in 1973, shot mainly on location here in hong kong. If youre a fan of the film, you might recognise this place, king yin lei. But if youre a real die hard bruce lee fan, youll need to go to hong kongs Heritage Museum for a unique insight into his legendary life. Wow, look at these nunchuck5. Oh, my goodness. Yeah nunchuck5 is one of a very significant symbol of bruce. You can see he practice this kind of weapons when he taught his students. Then you can see in his first tv programme, the green hornet. Is this the original costume . Yeah, yeah. This is also the iconic co5tume, you can see he wore this in the game of death. Then nowaday5 you can still see many people who wear this costume a5 a symbol of bruce. Fellow martial arts film actor, victor kan, studied under the iconic wing chun ma5ter, ip man. And he remembers the very first time he met bruce lee at a Training Se55ion back in the mid 19505. He can pick up the movement, things, very quick. Because that time was also a social thing, oh, wing chun, we doing all that, all the teenagers in the school. But i can say that he done the cha cha cha better than wing chun at that time. The dance . Yeah. What do you think bruce would think about this exhibition, 5ome a0 years after his death . Not big enough. Should be bigger. Oh, yes. You dont know how impre55ive he is still in the whole wide world. Inspired to learn some killer kung fu move5 myself, i head to the wan chai district of hong kong, where ive got a date with a man whos passionate about studying and preserving chinese martial arts. Music. First, the warm up. This is the horse stance. Am i low enough . Yes, you are. Right, i dont know if i can get up now. This is the bow stance. Lets reach again. Thi5 feels more like a workout than a warm up. Not sure if ill be able to walk tomorrow. Time to step things up a bit. I punch you here, you block with this one. 0k. Yeah, good. Now you punch. Whoa. See . Thats it. 0k. I get it now. I think im going to have a bruise on my arm. Now prepare to enter the dragon. Once upon a time there were hundreds of small Martial Arts Studios like this all over hong kong. But thats not the case any more. A lot of Kung Fu School5 were actually run in a space like this, which unfortunately over the past 20, 30 years have become very unaffordable to the average teacher who simply cannot find enough students to justify the rent. So i think the first and foremost problem people face in hong kong, when you talk about continuing the practice of kung fu, is lack of space. This is the blue house. You cant see very much unfortunately because of all the building work. If youre a real martial arts fan, though, there are still some places to see here in hong kong that bruce lee would have recognised and maybe even trained at. 0ver there, theres a plaque which says the name of a Kung Fu Ma5ter whose entire family lived here. He organi5e5 a Kung Fu Festival here in hong kong to keep intere5t in martial arts alive and reclaiming some of the heritage he feels has been lost. This place used to buzz with kung fu until i would say probably 19705, 19805. This was one of the really big hub5 of kung fu in hong kong. Thats amazing. I cant imagine seeing people doing kung fu on the streets. Exactly, but thats what really breathed life into the Hong Kong Community and thats why kung fu was so vibrant. If you know where to look, you can still find authentic classes, like this one, given by master li tin loi, taking place in some of the remaining studios here. But its notjust a question of space and high rent5 thats threatening the survival of martial arts in hong kong. The new generation, they want everything 5peed. They dont have time. They want to learn kung fu any style you make possible in two weeks. It is not possible. Impossible thing. But they have no time. Recognising that hong kongs Kung Fu Heritage is under threat, a Local University has called on some of the surviving Martial Art5 Masters of bruce lees generation to take part in a unique project, using modern Motion Capture Technology to document and preserve the traditional move thats could one day be lost. Say 50 years or 100 years from now, theres suddenly a burst of new interest in martial art5, these documents, which we are creating now, are going to be templates for future generations to work with. Thats what were really looking to the long term future. Theres no doubt that films like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the ip man trilogy have helped to rekindle an interest in martial arts. Whoa, its like a concrete block, that is. Its hoped that the motion capture programme, here at the university, will ensure that Kung Fu And The Legend Of Bruce Lee 5urvive5 for generations to come, both here in hong kong and around the world. If youre thinking of heading to hong kong any time soon, heres some travel show tips to help you on your way. Although this year marks the 20th Anniversary of the handover between britain and china, traveller5 from many countries still dont need to apply for a visa to visit hong kong. As ever, check before you book to make sure youre from one of those visa waiver countries, but remember that you will definitely need a visa if you plan to travel on to Mainland China from hong kong. Chinese new year is always a good time to visit, though you might need to book well in advance, as hotels are busy. Remember, that summers here can be hot and humid. Bear that in mind too. Theres no shortage of cheap and effective ways to get around Hong Kong Island and neighbouring chau lei, but if youre looking for something a little more traditional, why notjump aboard one of these iconic trams, also known as ding dings. The Trams Operate on six route5 every day between kennedy town and all of the main Tourist Attractions on Hong Kong Island. There you go, ding ding. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, dont forget hong kong is surrounded by dozens of smaller, less developed i5lands, so its often just a short ferry ride away to some peace and quiet or an empty beach. Stay with us, because still to come here on The Travel Show as new Security Measures stop you boarding 5ome flights with laptops and tablets, lucys here with clever tech to take on board. What are the best apps to keep me entertained on a long haulflight. Zoom in a bit, not too much. I get some tips on how to become an In5tagram Sensation here in hong kong. You could do a street shot with an amazing purple sky that would just blow up. So dont go away. The travel show, your E55ential Guide wherever youre heading. Laptops, tablets and e reader5 are all now banned on many flights to the us and uk primarily from airports in the middle east. Both governments have brought in new rules affecting different countries, so check first if youre flying from any of these places. But there are still some gadgets you can use to wile away the hours. This week, our run down of the gadgets you can still use on board. And heres the good news, on some flights you should be allowed to take hand held games consoles. So ive been using our 5tate Of The Art Isolation Booth to see how they fare. So this is the new big player on the market, its the nintendo switch. So the switch isnt like regular consoles where it combines portable on the go gaming with traditional console style gaming. 0n the one hand, you connect it to your tv. But when youre ready to take it on the move, you can simply slide the controllers in the side. The graphics look really good. What i like as well is that you can connect up to eight conceal5. Lets say youre travelling with a load of friends, you can connect your con5ole5 together for true multiplayer style gaming. But i must warn you, games are pricey. Bear that in mind if youre going to pick one of these up. I would still be careful, though. So if youre on a uk bound British Airways flight from the middle east, you can take these devices on board. Whitejet2 says you cant. Its worth checking with your airline before you fly. If youre flying to the us, these devices are definitely off the table and all youve got for entertainment will be your trusty mobile. So while youre in the air, dont think of this as a 5martphone, this is your entertainment centre. So it will pay to choose your app5 carefully before you travel. Something james here is an expert in. James, what are the best app5 to keep me entertained on a long haul flight . Heres pocketca5t5. This gives you like feature content, so these are tailored by pocketca5t to give you the best new podcasts around. Theres trending stuff. If something is really popular, that would appear there at the top. Everyone5 heard of netflix. They now do offline functionality. So you can download a whole tv series to your phone and you can watch it on the flight. For my last choice, ive gone with Lonely Planet city guides. It gives you information for wherever youre landing. You get a city guide that you can access offline. You dont need to connect to roaming data. You can get places to see, eat and even hotel locations. Its all there ready and waiting for you. No need to connect to the internet again. What about battery life . Depends on what youre going to be using. If youre using netflix, thats going to take a lot of battery. For podcasts, your phone will be 5at idle in your pocket and just playing audio. It wont take that much battery. You may want to take a Charging Cable because some flights allow you to charge in the seat. If youre flying for a grown up reason, maybe youre away on business, games and apps arent going to cut it. This is the mole5kine smart writing set. Yes it looks like a bog standard pen and note bad but its smarter than that, because it can transfer your writing, doodle5 and 5cribble5 into digitalform. It can even turn them into text by a dedicated application. Once you start writing, the app is able to register the strokes on the pen. It knows that youre hand writing and immediately shows you what youre writing on the app. You have to press the pen quite hard in order for it to register. It seems pretty quick, pretty automatic. I also cant draw its fun, really easy to use. Ive got to admit, its cool seeing your 5cribble5 transferred into digitalform. But the question is whats wrong with a regular note pad and pen and taking a picture afterwards . Since it was first launched in 2010, in5tagram has become one of the worlds hottest places to upload and share Travel Photos and here in hong kong, former londoner, edward barnieh, is one of the most liked and shared online photographers, capturing the hustle and bustle of the city through his camera lens. I went to meet him to pick up some tips. This isnt the usual place that most tourists take photos in hong kong. No. Why are we here . These are the back streets of hong kong. Its very gritty. Its real life. Great thing about hong kong is that theres no back of house. Ba5ically, whatever anyones doing, theyre doing it right in your face, along5ide people getting on buses and coming home from school. But its so dreary and its raining. How are you going to get pictures . Dreary is good. Youre going to get people walking with umbrellas. Youre going to get people soaking wet with no umbrellas. Reflections of the lights as the lights come on at night. Reflection in puddle5. Rain is perfect for photography. I just got a 5martphone, is this ok for pictures . Ye5, theyre great. I started with a 5martphone that had much worse quality camera than that. I was able to capture, with good light, a number of things. Yes the focal length is fixed. It makes you choose your composition wisely, but its a great tool to learn on before you move onto a camera. Zoom in a little bit. Not too much. Yeah. There you go, real life. A5 edward has over 175,000 in5tagram followers, im in safe hands, as we head off on our side street safari. With so much going on around us, im having problems deciding what to focus on. Itju5t seem5 me55y to me. With the people . See, i like it without the people. Right. Sometimes the people can offer up a bit of scale as well. Soju5t having one person there sometimes gives that kind of perspective to someone of what theyre looking at and the size of it. Weve got street signs, 5ome colour. Captured it all there. 0h, thank5. You got most of that because your 5martphone has a widerfocal length. You are able to get more in. Whereas i was packed in quite tight. This looks like two different locations. Yeah, its to do with my lens, and the Shutter Speed i use made it darker, and the Depth Of Field gave it more of a dramatic vibe. Generally ive got a much closer shot. Maybe it looks like it could be somewhere else all together. Im happy with some of the sparks i got flying up there. Are you . Yeah. Look5 exciting. I would never think to take a picture of this. There you go. Stick it on in5tagram and see what your friends think. I often think thats the beauty of this, though. I have no idea where i am. I often think thats the beauty of this, though. I can tell you we are very close to one of the major Shopping Districts in hong kong, with many tourists, maybe 200 metres from us right now. Really . But you wouldnt know it. Maybe if you look at that building there, that tall building. That is langham place, and its one of the major mall5 in hong kong. Becau5e, as i said before, hong kong is so densely packed together, thats the beauty of it. It means when youre looking for photos, you dont have to travel far to get what you want. I like it, but it was more a quick shoot and run, because i was scared the old lady was going to come out and get me. A lot of these shots you shoot once. If you get it, you get it. If you dont, you dont. You are very lucky to capture that with an iphone. She is quite far off. Youve done really well there. What works well on in5tagram . If i want to get maximum like5, what
