Notes:

Match-ups were not included in TV listings at this point. The dates may not be complete, though it appears there was no wrestling during the summer.

The Round The Rings shows were presented by David Southwood. The rest were simply billed as Professional Wrestling unless stated. The shows on Saturday evenings were in the Midlands and North only and not aired in London. All times are pm.
