 CARLETON, Hugh Francis - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
Hugh Francis Carleton was the eldest son of Francis Carleton, Clare, County Tipperary, and Greenfield, County Cork, Ireland, and was born on 3 July 1810.
Carleton returned from a visit to San Francisco in time for the first elections for the General Assembly of 1854, and was the only candidate for the Bay of Islands electorate.
Carleton was unsuccessful at the 1870 election, blaming his defeat on the inclusion of the former Mangonui electorate and the additional votes of a large number of Maori grant holders.

 Sir Hugh Carleton Greene | TV Heroes
Born in 1910, Hugh Carleton Greene was the brother of the writer Graham Greene, and had been a foreign correspondent for the Daily Telegraph reporting the rise of Hitler in Germany until he was expelled in 1939, informing a disbelieving Polish government that the Germans were bombing Katowice.
When this petition was presented to Parliament in June 1965 it had 365,355 signatures, and the ignorant Mrs Whitehouse and her ilk still cite Hugh Greene as the greatest malign influence (as they see it) towards the liberalisation of the prevailing culture in the UK.
In July 1968, when Sir Hugh Greene announced his decision to retire, many suggested that he had felt inhibited by Hill, and certainly his successor as Director General in March 1969, Charles Curran, was prepared to allow Mary Whitehouse and her lobby much more airtime, and took their arguments much more seriously.

 Guardian | Mary Whitehouse
One of the most illustrious was Sir Hugh Carleton Greene, director-general of the BBC, who, in 1962, had sanctioned the satirical TV show, That Was the Week That Was, which set out to broaden the limits of acceptability in art and comment.
The patrician Sir Hugh repeatedly refused to see the lower middle-class midlander, and developed such a distaste for her that he once bought an oil painting showing her with five breasts.
In practice, she and her direct line to God were, ultimately, too much for Sir Hugh Carleton Greene and libertarianism.

Soon the irreverence spread to BBC Television, where director general Hugh Carleton Greene was presiding over an unprecedented period of creativity and freedom - much to the anger of Mary Whitehouse and others.
TW3 was launched in 1962, devised, produced and directed by Ned Sherrin, now the presenter of Radio 4's Loose Ends, and it made stars of many of its performers.
Several of the BBC governors disliked it and the vice-chairman was reportedly close to resignation.

 OFF THE TELLY: Features/"Moved By a Sense of History"
Feted as one of the greatest DG's of all time, Hugh Carleton Greene began the job with no great plan for upending decades of convention and deference; he was appointed more for his deft handling of one of the most delicate departments, News and Current Affairs, and an absence of any other suitable candidates.
Just as popular history has tended to elevate Hugh Carleton Greene to a position of unimpeachable greatness, so it's often served to condemn his successor Charles Curran to the role of hapless, grey buffoon, obsessed with undoing all the good work of his forerunner and championing all that was reactionary.
Some were revisits to old ground trod by Trethowan (Northern Ireland), Hugh Carleton Greene (standards of morality) and even Reith himself (the point of the licence fee).

We now know that, from 1954, subsequent Tory and Labour administrations were in agreement that the government would "retain control of the manner in which the effect of nuclear weapons were made known to the public".
The BBC declared its duty not to frighten the old or very young - thereby committing itself (ironically during its most liberal period under Hugh Carleton Greene), to arms race censorship.
Watkins's mistake was to be inflexibly principled; he carried his fight against the BBC - for whom he made the film - around the world and became regarded as unemployable by any television institution.
