Hugh Greene

Sir Hugh Carleton Greene was the Director General of the BBC from 1 January 1960 until 1969. He was therefore the head of the BBC at the time the BBC employed Sydney Newman, and throughout the vast majority of the First and Second Doctors' eras. He also presided over the creation of BBC Two.

Greene was famously involved in a pitched battle with Mary Whitehouse. He believed that the BBC should offer a wide range of programming to appeal to and reflect all strata of society. She disagreed, and alleged he was responsible for the decline of morals in British society.
