  1. I remember Big Break! It was basically Bullseye but with snooker! Liked the trick shots in between rounds.

    That Jim Davidson turned out to be a real twat, though…

  2. The good ole days look forward to Saturday nights 😍

  3. The fastest way to piss off Captain Sensible at Damned gigs was to yell for “Give us a Break” – it pissed him off more than Happy Talking

  4. A month or so ago I had some mates over, got absolutely wasted and watched Big Break all night, it was amazing!

  5. Big Break. Gladiators. Catch Phrase. Bullseye. Generation Game. Noels House Party. Blind Date. Casuality.

    90s Saturday Night TV was the peak.

  6. I’ve said it before, but imagine someone going into a commissioning editor now and saying “so it’s a quiz show based on snooker. Obviously most people aren’t very good at snooker so contestants will answer the questions and a down on their luck pro will take the actual shots. John Virgo will keep the energy up by doing a trick shot between rounds.”

    “That sounds…. awful. Really, is there any selling point on this at all?”

    “I’ve not got to the best bit yet. It’s hosted….by Jim Davidson.”

    “Carol, please call security and have this man escorted from the building.”
