Career

Davis was a commentator for the Commonwealth and United States versions of the ‘news magazine’ Calendar [1964-1969]. This was made by British Movietonews Ltd, and from 1965 by Kay (West End) Laboratories Ltd, on behalf of the Central Office of Information. His earliest credit is for ‘1966 GENERAL ELECTION’, Calendar No.164, released in 1966.

Davis could well have been Don Davis who was a regular scriptwriter for Calendar from 1966.
