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

There was one a few years ago, about Workington.

I look forward to hearing from you, Bob C. Please can you PM me when you have found it, and we will discuss.

Thanks

 

I have in my collection - Test Rider (Scott Autrey), one on Sean Willmott from 1978, the Workington one (Blokes, Birds adn Bikes?), the Reading one (The Other Side), Gary Havelock (Cutting It - Champions!); Warren Pole and the two he did about Speedway and Ice Speedway about four years ago (Ulitimate Biker Challenge).

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.
