I have just watched the programe about Hughie Green that is a follow on to Hancock ,and Steptoe and Son.I grew up on a diet of these main stream tv stars, and had no idea that they had skeletons in there cupboards of such monstrous proportions. Hughie Green opened a shop in my home town called Cavendish and Woodhouse in about 1966 and a few of us bunked off school to see it.
Myself and a mate got a wack with a cane because there was a picture of us on the front page of the local paper stood next to him with beaming smiles.lol:lol: I am not sure that seeing them in a diifferent light is such a good thing.
And I mean that most sincerly folks.

All credit to Trevor Eve for depicting Hughie in all his 'glory'.:roll:

Not sure how fair this was on either his kids or the Geldof girls.


( Bring back 'Shoestring'!;))

I thought Trevor Eve was brilliant as well, and was also a Shoestring fan.
I would guess that Hughie's kids by his wife had a shelterd sort of life but doubt much would shock or offend the Geldofs.
