Yes indeed and why not too of course? You would have had to change channels from ITV to BBC1 for those I guess too. At the time I guess most tv's had push buttons on them; no remote controls and all that too. I know the one we had at the time was like that. You had to get up from the chair to manually change it. Not like today's sets of course way by far too?

And there were only three channels as such then too of course-BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. Channel 4 or S4C in Wales started in November 1982. TV did not really expand until Sky started around 1990 onwards-or before? and showed their own sports channels as they do now then too really of course. Channel 5 started in March 1997 although by then sports were on all the different channels. Football; Rugby; Cricket; Tennis; Racing; Motor Racing Grand Prix; and so on too!

I've worked with a lot of TV presenters over the years and the majority have been arseholes, right up themselves, arrogant and rude. Dickie Davis however was one of the nicest, down to earth and unassuming people I ever worked with, a true gentleman. The likes of Gary Linneker don't come anywhere close to being as good a presenter, or human being that this man was. RIP Dickie. 🙏

Yes he had a very warm & nice presenting style which never changed over the decades , whether fast paced sports like Rallying or the quiet & sedate Snooker tournaments he hosted latterly when WOS was discontinued. He certainly had a great sense of humour as seen when in the mid 70s Eric Morecambe was in the studio in a Christmas Eve round up of that year sports. Fred Dineage & Jim Rosenthal were great deputy hosts when Dickie was on holiday or other assignments.

Dickie was an old boy of my school, and he came in to speak to us all in a special assembly, this was round the late 80s early 90s, but deffo the upper school, my goodness he was entertaining and affable, very funny. I did speak to him afterwards as well. I used to watch World of Sport as a tiny kid with my grandfather, no interest in sport but I liked his humour and delivery. Good innings though, but yes sad to hear of his passing, especially with the connection there.

It was from 1972 at London Weekend Television's South Bank studios ,( before that at LWT's Wembley studios) ; yes teleprompters & telex machines would be going full speed especially just before the Wrestling which on occasions were live! Rumor has it the typist's were replying to fan mail.& Typing scripts for various LWT shows! The office / news room format did change a lot in the late 60s up to around 1976 when it remained the same. Grandstand had a similar set up with 'behind the scenes ' busy office / news desk style during the Frank Bough & David Coleman years.
