God I wish they would stop taking when players are setting up their shots. At 52:17 ferreria is doing entertainment (one of the qualities the judges are looking for) by bringing some humor I presume into his set up. Instead of getting to hear what we want to which is the player entertaining us(the whole point of the show) we hear two people with no relation to what we are currently watching talk about the points which we already know
A great idea, badly run. It was chaos. It must have been done live which meant they had to rush all the tricks and cut the jokes down. Great to watch anyway.
It's a stupid line and I think he thought he could be funnier then Dennis Taylor and get the crowd laughing. Ill judged comment I think he realised he had said something wrong.
It’s his dry sense of humour, most likely he was pissed he made a passive comment and knew when he said it he fcked up but that was Alex Higgins never afraid to say something…that was also in a time when you could say anything and get away with it now you can’t even say black ball without sounding racist it’s the new generation, objective comedy isn’t racist it’s all how we as viewers interpret the “joke”
Mike Massey has just regained a fan who’d forgotten all about him.
A superb entertainer and - by all accounts - a thoroughly good geezer.
Worth it for Cliff Wilson
I was working at Trentham Gardens during this and was in the audience. Also had the Dubai qualifiers and a vets comp.
The days when they couldn’t make up enough programmes for snooker.
Eddie Charlton under his breath after his in-off attempt in the final. “What a bastard.”

What was up with the brown ball with like atoms buzzing around it?
Was anyone else surprised that Jeremy Beadle didn't walk around the table with a fluorescent jacket and sunglasses?
John Virgo put some show Bizz into it! Some razzmatazzzzz!

47:10 John Spencer, he was some character 😂
Silvarno Francisco!!
Steve Davis is some tulip.
What does that mean?
Wow...49:54 .. How did Alex get away with that. Calling the black ball Muhammad Ali. Really shitty behavior.
Yeah, he was a wanker

I agree, disgusting and not even remotely funny.
