Hughie Green: Mr Opportunity
S4 • E11 Dec 20, 1997
Appearing in music hall aged just nine, Hughie Green made his first film four years later. But it was on the small screen that he made his name. From the fifties until the seventies, hit shows such as Double Your Money, The Sky's the Limit and Opportunity Knocks made him one of the biggest stars to appear on British television. But, by the late seventies, Green's failure to adapt to new television ideas saw him frozen out.
