Hughie Green was a TV legend, and impossible not to catch on TV. Hughie Green, Most Sincerely is a wonderful portrayal of a talented if very flawed man. The best thing about it for me was the acting. All the support acting is great, while Mark Benton is I agree not ideal physically he still gives an above decent acting performance, but it is the lead performance that really captivates. Trevor Eve is superb as Green and nails all his mannerisms and personality traits perfectly.
The period detail also convinces. The photography is always lovely to watch, and the costumes, sets and scenery are beautifully evoked. Even the audience is surprisingly authentic. The script is excellently written, poignant and witty with a healthy dose of black humour, and the story while episodic perhaps in a way is accurate, compelling and covers a lot of aspects of Green's life.
All in all, a wonderful drama and worth catching for particularly the revelation that is the lead performance. 9/10 Bethany Cox
