在黄线街系列中，黄线街警察局的侦探在虚构的香港港湾——DCI哈里·费弗，一个在香港出生和长大的欧洲人；高级督察克里斯托弗·奥耶，一半是中国人，一半是白人美国人，都是神经病患者；以及由奥登和斯宾塞组成的不断争吵的检查员团队，试图为莫名其妙和看似怪异的犯罪找到合理的依据。例如，在1988年的《无处不在》（Out of Nowhere）中，DCI Feiffer必须弄清楚为什么在黎明前的几个小时里，四个人坐在一辆装满平板玻璃的面包车里，车上播放着中国歌剧，声音在磁带上响起，他们在离最近的入口匝道数英里远的一条废弃高速公路的反面行驶，最后死于与迎面而来的一辆卡车的暴力碰撞。为什么在碰撞发生前不久，其中一名乘客向货车司机开枪？

Yellowthread Street is a 1990 ITV police drama about detectives of the Royal Hong Kong Police based on the novels by William Leonard Marshall.

In the Yellowthread Street series, the detectives of the Yellowthread Street police station in fictitious Hong Bay, Hong Kong -- DCI Harry Feiffer, a European born and raised in Hong Kong; Senior Inspector Christopher O'Yee, half-Chinese, half-Caucasian American, and all neurotic; and the ever-bickering team of Inspectors Auden and Spencer -- attempt to find the rational basis for inexplicable and seemingly bizarre crimes. For example, in 1988's Out of Nowhere, DCI Feiffer must figure out why in the pre-dawn hours, four people in a plate-glass-filled van with Chinese opera blaring out the tape deck were driving on the wrong side of a deserted motorway, miles from the nearest on-ramp, before dying in a violent collision with an oncoming lorry. And why, moments before the collision, did one of the passengers shoot the van driver?

Thirteen fifty minute episodes were made.

Cast members included: Ray Lonnen, Bruce Payne, Robert Taylor, Tzi Ma, Mark McGann and Catherine Neilson. Tetchie Agbayani appeared in one episode.
