I heard a strong rumour many years ago (before this song came out, no less) that he’d been discovered, all trussed up, during a police raid on a Kensington BDSM dungeon.
But then, what are rumours?

Well, this is one.

I think the picture of the girl in the Cadbury’s Flake Ad should be posted next to the one of the legendary World of Sport presenter, since I’ve never been sure (too young at the time) if she really did have “Dickie Davies Eyes”

GWA – here you go. There is a resemblance in the eyes, I’d say.

There I was going about my business and Dickie D Eyes came on. My mind wandered back to World of Sport, On the Ball, Brian Moore, Gerald Sindstadt and the frightfully exotic plane towing the banner in its wake. I started to think about the relief frontman Fred Dineage and wondered what DD was up to when Dineage was asked to step in. I remember him from How? It is odd that a children’s tv presenter should double up on the ITV sport behemoth. Why not Bunty or Jack Hargreaves from the How? table? I look up old Fred and find his daughter is now an MP. I assume any hopes old Frank Bough’s offspring may have had for public office were curtailed by his tabloid fuelled fall from grace.

Fred still pops up on obscure TV channels late at night presenting low budget “True Crime” documentaries. Apparently he is (or was) a regional TV news anchor after the heady days of How & World of Sport (in a similar manner to post-Krypton factor Gordon Burns (q.v.))

And here in the Midlands, on BBC (West) Midlands Today, we get Nick Owen! He’s an anchor, or a similar homophone.
