Controversy
  • There was a technical glitch involving the reairing of the segment "Chinatown Walk" on episode 62 ("Usher in the Year of the Horse"), during the premiere run on Channel 5. The episode reaired on Channel NewsAsia in full, on the same day at 11.30pm. Hence, only a third of the episode aired on Channel 5.
  • There was another technical glitch on episode 75 ("Work in Progress: City in a Garden") just before the end of the show, during the premiere run on Channel Newsasia, and the episode had to reair on 11 May 2014 at 11.30pm.
