Opportunity Knocks (Close)

The final edition of Opportunity Knocks. One might think from the clip that Les Dawson hosted it. But no, it was just a jolly good wheeze, Hughie Green did actually host it! Hughie always meant everything "most sincerely folks" and affected a curious meandering mid-Atlantic drawl in his presentation. He grows quite emotional as he signs off on the series for the last time; it probably wasn't easy letting go of his baby after 21 years. Both these clips, and the 1971 clips above, were recorded on Challenge TV in December 2002.
