moxey63 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 What made-for-TV documentaries have been done featuring speedway through the years? I remember ones on such riders as Scott Autrey, Sean Willmott and more recently Gary Havelock, but am really interested in the John Davis one from the mid-eighties. Are there any more?

Southern TV (or possibly Channel 4) did one centering on Reading and Phil Morris about ten years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one for Channel 4 in the mid-ish 90's on Eastbourne riders. Don't have it or remember much about it but I think it was were David Norris picked up a new nickname.

That was the Cutting It series of programmes - Champions! was the name of the programme and did feature Eastbourne riders as well as Havelock.
