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 pig's passion for the slaughterhouse. in case they haven't made myself clear, it wasn't very good. morrissey the movie. the england's 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. did a couple of scenes in here. i wasn't really making a film about morri55ey, really, iwa5 making really making a film about morri55ey, really, i was making a film about stephen. what i wanted was a young person, like any teenage person was a young person, like any teenage per5on growing was a young person, like any teenage person growing up was a young person, like any teenage per5on growing up with ambition5 was a young person, like any teenage per5on growing up with ambitions in trying to find out who they are and how they fit in a world which is trying to make you like everyone el5e. trying to make you like everyone else. one thing which isn't heard in the film, any music by the smiths. the story end5 the film, any music by the smiths. the story ends when the band form5. the story ends when the band form5. the actor who plays morri55ey say5 there is no need to cover his years a5 there is no need to cover his years asa there is no need to cover his years a5 a front man. there is no need to cover his years as a front man. really what's the of doing a film about that when he is very much 5till doing a film about that when he is very much still alive, kicking and gigging- very much still alive, kicking and gigging. 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 week's travel show: is this the original costume? we're 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, that's 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, they're 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 you're a fan of the film, you might recognise this place, king yin lei. but if you're a real die—hard bruce lee fan, you'll need to go to hong kong's 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 don't 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 i've got a date with a man who's 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 don't know if i can get up now. this is the bow stance. let's reach again.

thi5 feels more like a workout than a warm up. not sure if i'll 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? that's it. 0k. i get it now. i think i'm 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 that's 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 can't see very much unfortunately because of all the building work. if you're 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, there's 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. that's amazing. i can't imagine seeing people doing kung fu on the streets. exactly, but that's what really breathed life into the hong kong community and that's 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 it's notjust a question of space and high rent5 that's threatening the survival of martial arts in hong kong. the new generation, they want everything 5peed. they don't 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 kong's kung fu

heritage is under threat, a local university has called on some of the surviving martial art5 masters of bruce lee's generation to take part in a unique project, using modern motion—capture technology to document and preserve the traditional move that's could one day be lost. say 50 years or 100 years from now, there's 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. that's what we're really looking to the long—term future. there's no doubt that films like crouching tiger hidden dragon and the ip man trilogy have helped to rekindle an interest in martial arts. whoa, it's like a concrete block, that is. it's 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 you're thinking of heading to hong kong any time soon, here's 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 don't need to apply for a visa to visit hong kong. as ever, check before you book to make sure you're 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. there's no shortage of cheap and effective ways to get around hong kong island and neighbouring chau lei, but if you're 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, don't forget hong kong is surrounded by dozens of smaller, less developed i5lands, so it's 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, lucy's 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 don't go away. the travel show, your e55ential guide wherever you're 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 you're 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 here's the good news, on some flights you should be allowed to take hand—held games consoles. so i've been using our 5tate—of—the—art isolation booth to see how they fare. so this is the new big player on the market, it's the nintendo switch. so the switch isn't 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 you're 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. let's say you're 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 you're going to pick one of these up. i would still be careful, though. so if you're on a uk—bound british airways flight from the middle east,

you can take these devices on board. whitejet2 says you can't. it's worth checking with your airline before you fly. if you're flying to the us, these devices are definitely off the table and all you've got for entertainment will be your trusty mobile. so while you're in the air, don't 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? here's pocketca5t5. this gives you like feature content, so these are tailored by pocketca5t to give you the best new podcasts around. there's trending stuff. if something is really popular, that would appear there at the top. everyone'5 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, i've gone with lonely planet city guides. it gives you information for wherever you're landing. you get a city guide that you can access offline.

you don't need to connect to roaming data. you can get places to see, eat and even hotel locations. it's all there ready and waiting for you. no need to connect to the internet again. what about battery life? depends on what you're going to be using. if you're using netflix, that's going to take a lot of battery. for podcasts, your phone will be 5at idle in your pocket and just playing audio. it won't take that much battery. you may want to take a charging cable because some flights allow you to charge in the seat. if you're flying for a grown—up reason, maybe you're away on business, games and apps aren't going to cut it. this is the mole5kine smart writing set. yes it looks like a bog standard pen and note bad but it's 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 you're hand writing and immediately shows you what you're 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 can't draw! it's fun, really easy to use. i've got to admit, it's cool seeing your 5cribble5 transferred into digitalform. but the question is — what's 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 world's 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 isn't the usual place that most tourists take photos in hong kong. no. why are we here? these are the back streets of hong kong.

it's very gritty. it's real life. great thing about hong kong is that there's no back of house. ba5ically, whatever anyone's doing, they're doing it right in your face, along5ide people getting on buses and coming home from school. but it's so dreary and it's raining. how are you going to get pictures? dreary is good. you're going to get people walking with umbrellas. you're 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, they're 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 it's 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, i'm in safe hands, as we head off on our side street safari. with so much going on around us, i'm 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 they're looking at and the size of it. we've 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, it's 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 i've got a much closer shot. maybe it looks like it could be somewhere else all together. i'm 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 that's the beauty of this, though. —— i have no idea where i am. i often think that's 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 wouldn't know it. maybe if you look at that building there, that tall building. that is langham place, and it's one of the major mall5 in hong kong. becau5e, as i said before, hong kong is so densely packed together, that's the beauty of it. it means when you're looking for photos, you don't 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 don't, you don't. you are very lucky to capture that with an iphone. she is quite far off. you've done really well there. what works well on in5tagram? if i want to get maximum like5, what should i take pictures of? architecture, 5treet 5hots. not so much lately, but an amazing typhoon 5un5et as well. in fact, if you could combine the two. a 5treet shot with an amazing purple sky, that would just blow up. that would be huge. a5 night falls, we're joined

by fellow in5tagramer5 je55 and vivian who also have big followers here in hong kong and around the world. now the pressure really is on, as i face even more competition from the professionals. we're in moan kok, and we're here to see some of the neon lights on portland street, one of hong kong's most famous 5treet5. at night, especially after it's rained, you can see the streets glow. as you can see here. it's pretty cool, right? wow. with a smartphone, you just have to use what's around you. sometimes at night you can get that really atmospheric and get more gritty side. you know what, sometimes you just have to be bold. that's a good tip. just stand there and wait. patience is everything. i quite like that one. yeah that's nice. you've got the neon, action shot. and he's smiling. i don't know.

just the 5martphone is not very good at night—time. i'm feeling they're not — they won't be as good as yours. we'll see. they were in the day, right! so before i go, i want to get the iconic hong kong taxi. ye5, everybody loves a taxi shot. how do i do that with a smartphone? it's going to be tough to get that kind of long exposure that you're looking for, but i honestly think that we can do something slightly different but you're really going to like it. we're going to try to get behind the taxi and capture the city with the taxi in the foreground. 0k. how does that sound? all right. let's give that a try. let's do it. get ready to get behind this taxi. all right. now get out there and 5hoot behind the taxi. oh, that's good.

good, good. let me see it. that's excellent. i prefer that one. so crop that one? yeah, absolutely. nice. well done. you're a hong kong photographer now. now you're pushing it. if you want to see more of those pictures, check out our social media feed5. all the details should be on your screen 110w. that's all we've got to time for this week. next week — we head to the south american surfers' paradise of punta de lobo5 in chile in search of the perfect wave. i got whacked in the face with about ten waves in a row, so i've swallowed most of that water. join us for that if you can. until next time, from me and the rest of the travel show team

here in hong kong, it's goodbye. look5 looks like the temperatures will start to skyrocket again acro55 looks like the temperatures will start to skyrocket again across the south. it won't be as hot as it was a while back when we had the temperatures into the mid— 305. it will be warm enough, i can tell you that. this is what we have acro55 the country, extensive cloud especially acro55 northern areas. for northern ireland, 5outhern part5 of scotla nd for northern ireland, 5outhern part5 of scotland into the lake district, wale5 a5 of scotland into the lake district, wale5 as well, and damp end of the night and start to the morning.
