Early Life
Davies was educated at Cranbrook School—which also numbers commentators Brian Moore and Peter West amongst its alumni—and King's College London, where he read Dentistry, although contrary to what has often been reported he never qualified as a dentist (he says in his autobiography that he "flunked out" due to spending too much time playing and watching sport). He started his broadcasting career with British Forces Broadcasting whilst doing his National Service in the British Army of the Rhine as a second-lieutenant in West Germany.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
