Established over 10 years
he historically persuaded the BBC to televise the 1966 event. It proved to be a TV triumph for local lad
A
Bryan Cowgill, as well as the birth of “Action Replay”. In a fascinating and highly readable biog
raphy, Mr Cowgill’s life is traced from his Clitheroe roots, editorship of this newspaper in the 1950s, a move to London as a trainee . production assistant at the BBC and an incredible career littered with household names which saw him become Controller of BBClinl974. Mr Cowgill was the man who introduced
the concept of Grandstand to TV and went on to make TV history during England’s opening match with Uruguay in 1966 - when he invented a new phrase in the English lan guage - "action replay”. The World Cup final, in which England
won 4-2 against West Germany, was watched by a record 27 million people. It also brought the comment: “They think
it’s all over” from commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme -followed by: “It is now” as the final goal crashed into the net. The coverage brought Mr Cowgill a BAFTA for the outstanding outside broad-

UNDER the headline “A human ostrich gone mad”, it was reported that a man had been summoned for being drunk on licensed premises. Shortly after 6 p.m., a policeman was called from his station by a young girl, who said that a man in Bawd- lands, Clitheroe, had gone mad. On inves tigation, he found the man breaking the hack windows of his house with a slipper. He was also bleeding from the mouth through “chewing” pieces of the glass. The witness remonstrated with him, where upon he exclaimed “I’m the human ostrich”. • Moor Lane Sunday School,
Clitheroe, celebrated its anniversary and hundreds of people lined the town centre to hear the scholars sing. Discussing the popularity of Sunday Schools, the corre spondent stated that the large number who attended “would indicate that Sun day schools have a place in the hearts of the people.” • A milkman in Chatbum had a lucky
escape when his horse made a bolt for free dom with the cart containing all the milk still attached to it. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.

cast of 1966. In 1977 he left the BBC for Thames Television where he was appointed managing director. Almost immediately he signed More-
cambe and Wise who were friends of both Mr Cbwgill and his wife, Jenny. The highly publicised “Dallas affair”
ended his career in 1985 when he acquired the rights to the series for ITV and Thames. Such was the furore that followed, the IBA intervened and the Dallas rights were returned to the BBC. Mr Cowgill immedi ately resigned. Legendary names such as Muhammed
Ali, George Best, Ronnie Corbett, Jimmy Hill, John Mills, Michael Parkinson, Angela Rippon, Telly Savalas and Desmond Wilcox appear throughout the 215 pages. He worked with hundreds of TV stars, dined with the Queen, and produced many popular drama series. He won ratings battles ^ o r e and his name has gone into television history for his colossal achievements and particularly suc cess in changing the direction of televised sport. On retirement, he and his wife lived in

VILLAGERS in Bolton-by-Bowland no longer had to make a quarter-mile detour to reach the centre of the village from their cottages. Instead, they were getting there in much shorter time - via a new stone bridge over Kirk Beck, which ran alongside the Hellifield Road. And each time they crossed this new short-cut bridge, they were reminded of the hard work of a small group of villagers led by Mr J. Wolfenden, of Foden Farm. • Offered for sale by auction by Henry
Holden and Son, auctioneers, Longridge; Fellside Farm, Stonyhurst was bought by Mr G. Bamher for £2,600. Offered for sale at Whalley on the same night by Richard Turner and Son, the freehold farm Chew Mill Farm, Billington, was withdrawn. • When the football match between a
Red Army side and a British military I I ended in the Soviet zone of Germany, team members exchanged gifts. Each Russian received from the soldiers an Eng lish penny and then presented in return a packet of Russian cigarettes. This incident was witnessed by National Serviceman Pte. Fred Limbert, team captain, whose parents lived in Chatbum Road.

CDCAL Rotarian and cyclist Richard Dug- dale has just returned
Bergen, Norway. The 2,000 mile journey fol
lowed the coastline of Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway on all types of ter rain, from smooth cycle paths to dht roads and shingle tracks, through long tunnels, over high bridges and on busy trunk roads. Richard (61), of Clitheroe, rode with fellow Rotarian Roger Stretton (66), of Higham, as a sponsored ride for the charity Life Education Centres. The first two weeks followed
the West coast of Holland, Ger many and Denmark under very hard cycling conditions with a very strong headwind for most of the time and several days of horizontal, cold rain. “While we were cycling imder

THE fact that Whalley had four public houses in such a small area had been turning the village into a “haven for drunken youths” on Friday and Saturday nights, a parish councillor told the annual parish council meeting. The councillor explained that most, if not all the youths involved were from outside the village and the only way to stop the trouble was to deter young visitors from coming to the village pubs or even close some of the pubs. • Billington was preparing to enter the
Community Council for Lancashire’s Best-Kept Village competition for the first time. Langho had also been entered for the competition by Billington and Langho WI and councillors were equally hopeful of success. • The vicar of Downham, the Rev. F.
E. Chard, and Mr Frank Deacon, of Moorland Road, Langho, received gold awards for 50 donations when the National Blood Transfusion Service vis ited Clitheroe Parish Hall. The presentation of the awards and
blood transfusion ties was made by Clitheroe Mayor Coun. Bob Ainsworth.
such wet and windy conditions we could at least keep warm, but as soon as we stopped riding and started hunting for accom modation for the night extreme cold began to set in, causing some concern,” said Richard.

houses on every hillside and all the coves full of boats of every size and shape. As to be expected on such a
long journey, several mechani cal failures occurred, including three punctures, three broken spokes and a broken gear change mechanism. Luckily, with the exception of
the gear change, the pair carried adequate spares to rectify them. Richard said: “Cycling is
such a great way to travel, since you get to meet so many won derful people, who we found were always very helpful and most generous and seemed to relish the opportimity to speak English. “It was a great way to see so
However, once they reached
Skagen, at the most northerly point of Denmark, the wind was mostly behind them and the air temperature began to rise. From Denmark a four-hour ferry trip was taken from Gren- na to Varberg, in Sweden. “After much searching we
found a campsite which would take us in at the late hour of 8 p.m., when our hopes of finding anywhere were fading fast,” said Richard. Sweden and Norway were found to be exceptionally beau
tiful countries, although provid- ing a real challenge to any cyclist carrying panniers loaded with essential equipment. While in Norway the daily
mileage sometimes dropped to the low 60s from the high 70s and occasional 90, due to the long, steep climbs and the time taken using ferries to bridge fjords and island hop to keep on the coastline. The fjords and small islands
were particularly beautiful, cov ered in trees with small clear ings and pretty painted wooden

sponsorship money for his trip and asks that any cheque dona tions be made out to the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale, who will pass the money on to Life Edu cation Centres, with any gift aid collected as appropriate. Anyone who would like to
make a donation can contact Richard on 01200 424962. Our picture shows Richard

Hayley’s a cut above the rest
Annual Hair and Beauty Awards. Hayley Gill (20), of Cock-
A Couple’s great win! L
a s t weekend’s Ribble Valley SheepFest really caught the imagination of our schoolchildren.
Jesus had much to say about
sheep, i.e. people, and if he had been living in today’s world he would surely have found inspi ration for more sheep stories. One of his best-known stories
was of a lost sheep and there was one such sheep outside the
United Reformed Church, which caught the imagination of a young passer-by who wanted to know why it wasn’t with the rest of the sheep. Perhaps the answer was pro
vided by one of the flock graz ing in the grounds of the Cas tle; “all ewe need is love”. "rhis “ju s t for fun” event
gave a lot of pleasure as well as an important message.
There were no lost sheep late
on Sunday afternoon. It seems there was a CurfEWE mid by 4 p.m; there wasn’t a sheep on the street.
Even the lost one was safe in
the fold. Is there life after foot ball?
Jesus said: “I have come in
order that you might have life - life in all its fullness. I am the good shepherd who is willing to
die for, the sheep. There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheepfold. “I must bring them too; they
will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd.” (John 10:10 and 16)
