[edit] Hang on

I thought Hughie Green was Canadian???--Edchilvers 13:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I always thought so too until I checked the 2003 book written by his son: "The Tangled Lives of Hughie Green and Paula Yates". Hugh Hughes Green was born on February 2, 1920 at his parents' central London flat - 8 Weymouth Court at 1 Weymouth Street. Avalon69 04:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I see "and I mean that most sincerely" attributed to Green a lot on various sites, but I think this is a "Beam me up Scotty" - something Hughie never actually said. My recollection is that it was a faux catch-phrase made up by an Mike Yarwood (see his entry).Monbro 12:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

What is the problem with drawing attention to the fact that Hughie Green has a connection with the Roswell Flying Saucer crash of 1947. I keep trying to insert a link to my webpage which has copies of actual correspondence between mysel and the late Hughie Green, where he admits to hearing on his car radio a report of a UFO crash. Don't you think those interested in his biography have a right to know that Hughie green was very much intrigued by the flying saucer enigma? the link I believe is important for insewrtion on the Hughie Green biography Jinghiz53 12:46, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

1.Read WP:COI before posting a link to your own webpage

2.Read WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided Points 4 and 12

3.Read WP:REL Hughie Green hearing a report on a car radio is of no significance other than to yourself.

4.Read your own web-page, Hughie Green's connection to Roswell is as significant as his involvement with the Apollo program and Marilyn Monroe i.e NONE! He simply heard about it. Mighty Antar 21:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fingers

Could anyone cast any light in the catchphrase "And I really wanna see those fingers!!" Another Yarwoodism, another Beam Me Up, or another show host? Martinevans123 19:43, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Nothing to do with Hughie Green, that was Vic Reeves in Shooting Stars. Mighty Antar 20:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Many thanks. One still feels the manic show-host sincerity of Green lives on, though, doesn't one? Martinevans123 14:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second World War Activities

There is a reputable source, sadly now gone from this earth, that quotes Hughie as being involved in piloting the "white plane" between England and Germany on a daily basis during the second world war (Changing uniforms half way over the English Channel)

There is a strong emphasis on Hughie being part of Air Intelligence during the war as well. Any comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.135.106 (talk) 01:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Janie Jones

Anyone have the full story of Greene's involvement in the Janie Jones scandal? And the role played by his 'minder' Kenny Lynch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.82.214 (talk) 22:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I doubt that Mr Green was buried at Golders Green Crematorium - Probably cremated there 62.25.106.209 (talk) 07:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Sky's the Limit

The Sky's the Limit was neither short lived or a failure. It ran for 116 editions between January 1971 and July 1974 and had good ratings in its day. It was only 'short lived' in comparison to Hughie's other two shows which both ran for many years. And Hughie didn't 'return' to Opp Knocks as it was still on TV as normal during STLs entire run. I also don't recall Jess Yates being involved in the production of Opportunity Knocks. (Goldmanuk (talk) 13:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC))
