Ancient Chinese fishermen

Another set of wonderful customs, cheng.  All you need now is a cormorant from Playmobil so you can have a fisherman using that to fish.

Is the "Water Margin" mentioned the TV series from the 1960s?

I may have some bits of the plastic ties which come holding electric flex as I just bought a new satnav.  Any I find, I'll send to you, cheng.

thanks Gordon;
ah...those goose-like birds with tight rings(prevent them from swallowing, right?) around their necks
oh, I didnt know they showed Water Margin in England back in those days even!
but I dont remember the old TV series, there is a newer one in colour
those ties has to be long enough to go 1 full round a kliky's waist and a bit left for twisting...completely flat ones I hope (not those you see a central bulge for covering a thin round wire) please send photo first if you find suitable flat PVC-wire ties

China made another "Water Margin" aka "Outlaws of the Marsh" TV series right after the longest running Chinese series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in early 2000.

I like Three Kingdoms but "Water Margin" was the better TV series. It was really moving towards the end...

I think China recently did yet another run of the two series... Which didn't look very good to me although I have not watch it either to be a good judge of it.

Just realised that it was our TV that was black and white, not the film!  And it was in the 1970s.  In fact, I found this on Youtube which made me realise my mistake:

The theme is very much like the early James Bond films in places and the narrator, Burt Kwouk, is probably best known in the UK for his role in the comedy series "Last of the Summer Wine" as Entwistle from Hull.

LarryHHH, is the "All men are brothers" tv series similar to the "Marsh Margin" you are talking about?

and Gordon, I've not seen the youtube clip you shared, the credits are mostly Japanese names and probably a local japanese production aired by NipponTV

"All men are brothers" is the new 'not-so-credible-looking' production, the one I watched was by CCTV:
