Self - Guest. Self - Studio Guest. It was an absolute marathon but it was wonderful. The Americans may not have been there there but we had Seb Coe and Steve Ovett and that was something fabulous. Even more fabulous than the great days of British wrestling, featuring Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy et al?
Many nostalgic types insist it wasn't like today's WWE, that fights weren't stage-managed. But those people are fools, aren't they? The fighters knew they were entertainers but they were so good at what they did that they didn't need to fix anything: they improvised. In the halcyon days of World of Sport, you were going head to head with Grandstand, which was fronted by your doppelganger Des Lynam. Approximately how many times have you been mistaken for him in the street?
However, Des told me that it happened to him once [relates lengthy tale about Lynam being followed into a French petrol station by an English tourist who eventually plucks up the courage to simper, "Dickie Davies, it's a delight to meet you!
Yes, your hair is now entirely white, whereas in your prime the only white bit was a lightning streak through the middle of an otherwise black barnet? That was a natural feature, wasn't it? Yes, people used to think I put it in, but I didn't. My mother used to have a grey streak through her hair and now one of my sons has the same problem, though as with me, it doesn't bother him in the slightest.
It's nice to have a distinguishing feature. The first time I met Jimmy Tarbuck, he looked at me and said, "I see you've been doing the ceiling again! Yes, it is! My wife and all my friends called me Dickie but in the television world it was considered that Richard sounded much more proper. On our way to a game of golf one day, Jimmy said to me: "Why don't you just tell them you want to be known as Dickie, it sounds much better.
I suddenly started to get people in the street shouting, "Hi DD! I think it just sounded friendlier. What's the last CD you bought? What I do enjoy is University Challenge, and if I get more than two answers right I consider it a great triumph. I also like Mastermind, John Humphrys is doing a fantastic job. I am a great fan of John and have worked with him in the past.
What's your favourite vegetable? Don't forget: young! My wife is a very good gardener and we grow them. I would have them with any meal. I even have them cold, as part of a salad, with a little pasta sauce. Sounds great. It's young broads all the way for Small Talk from now on. Now then, what's your favourite drink. It has to be Champagne, the king of wines. Any brand in particular? Not really. I mean Bollingers and Dom Perignon are exquisite but they're very expensive. Sometimes actually, I go for pink champagne.
What's the most ludicrous thing Dickie Davies has done whilst drunk? I tend not to get drunk, Small Talk. But I suppose I'll be honest with you, but I'm not going to give you the lady's name. Sounds promising, Dickie What happened was this woman, a boss of mine, and I went out on a Friday night and ended up at a police party, where the boys in blue were really doing us proud with their drinking and dancing.
We didn't leave till 3.
