Synopsis

Quiz show in which contestants would be paired up with a snooker player, and the points per question were determined by what the snooker player potted. An earlier, less comedy-oriented version of Big Break, if you like.

Denis Law and Patrick Mower were the regular team captains. They were joined every week by a snooker player and two non-snooker-playing celebrities, who could sometimes be challenged by the opposing team to play shots. There was also a competition for the snooker players at the end of every programme, whereby the players would try to pot all six of the colours as quickly as possible. Jimmy White ended up with the fastest time by the end of the series, and this won him a carriage clock.
