    Why are people rushing to his defence like this?

    This was a carefully-researched and largely factual docu-drama. The man was a git.

    he was a popular TV presenter,not a moral guardian..much like todays pop stars who are hammered if they say the slightest thing wrong

    I often wonder if a lot of these revelations came out about Green when he was dead as they knew the dead couldn't sue. However, I do remember a derogatory article being published in the News of the World 18 months after Opportunity Knocks finished which rubbished him. Mind you he was a media non person by then and it could have been created to disown him, certainly Jeremy Isaacs hated Green.

    Who Cares? Used to absolutely love his shows Double Your Money was just like millionaire really just you won a toaster or something. Skys the Limit, Op Knocks. Great entertainment. TV was blessed with lots of good light entertainment shows back then with huge ratings. The whole family could watch. Bring em back
