In 1997, controversial TV star Paula Yates discovered that her true father was not, as she had believed, disgraced television personality Jess Yates, but the man who had destroyed his career, Hughie Green. Devastated, she approached Green s son, Christopher, in an effort to unravel the mystery behind her two fathers . Hughie Green was a huge showbiz figure and probably the first star of British TV. His show, Opportunity Knocks, launched the career of Les Dawson and many others. Christopher Green s investigation, which forms the heart of this extraordinary book, uncovered many of the dark and deeply buried secrets that Paula Yates, tragically, never lived to hear.
