Lee Tim-sing, born in 1948 and known to the trade as 'Tim Gor', is a Hong Kong television producer and actor. He grew up in Chai Wan, in the Valley Road squatter area in Hung Hom, in a temporary housing area in San Po Kong and in Wang Tau Hom resettlement estate, the son of a Kowloon Hospital cook and of a mother from the Tang clan of Yuen Long, and took to broadcasting as a boy listening to Rediffusion. He joined TVB's artiste and drama division in 1967, moved from acting into directing, and made his first series as producer — an eighty-episode drama — before producing long-running contemporary series and, from the 1990s, Jin Yong adaptations such as The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and The Duke of Mount Deer. In the 2000s he specialised in period and Republican-era drama, including the Rosy Business series, and produced close to sixty series in all. He planned to retire when his contract ended in 2012 but was persuaded to stay on a one-series-a-year basis until 2016.
