The Police Career of Mandy Wong

Think Madam Kate is amazing? Mandy Wong's police career spans over half a century!

Mandy was one of the first female officers recruited into the police force. She made her debut in the Criminal Investigation Department (Always and Ever).



Afterwards, she is assigned to the Patrol Sub Unit where she encounters Laughing Gor (E.U.)



Inspired by Laughing Gor, Mandy joins the Criminal Intelligence Bureau to learn how to be an undercover. Her superior is none other than Laughing Sir! (Lives of Omission)



With a promotion to Probationary Inspector, Mandy is selected into the elite Special Duties Unit. Working first as a support staff, she later passes through rigorous tests to become the first female member on the operation team (Tiger Cubs I and II).



After Mandy receives a promotion to Inspector, she decides to take on new challenges. She serves in the Airport Security Unit before taking charge of the Emergency Unit (Sergeant Tabloid).



Mandy becomes pregnant and is transferred to the newly created Miscellaneous Enquiries unit. (Nothing Special Force)

TVB Trends: Nostalgia

Miriam Yeung - "集體回憶" (Collective Memories)

TVB has been tapping into our collective memories a lot lately. Do you feel a sense of nostalgia when watching these series?

Never Dance Alone - The series features seven actresses from the 1990s, all of whom form a part of our childhood memories. The series will also take viewers back to their high school days.



Swipe Tap Love - The series incorporates many classic Cantopop songs that matches with the mood of the story.



Coffee Cat Mama - The series paid homage to Leslie Cheung by using his songs as background for Vincent Wong and Nancy Wu's story.



Always and Ever - The golden couple of Bobby Au-Yeung and Esther Kwan are reunited. There's even a scene of them in a shooting range to bring back memories of Armed Reaction.



Triumph in the Skies II - Watching the sequel after ten years will surely make you think back to the original series.



Brother's Keeper - Tracing the journey of Hong Kong and Macau through the last 30 years, older viewers will be reminded of the historical events that shaped their lives.



Remakes - TVB will be continuing the trend of nostalgia in their dramas by remaking some of its classic series, including Double Fantasies and The Misadventure of Zoo.
