    When I saw this skit for the first time, here in Finland, back in the 80s, I had not seen any snooker.
    Now I have watched a million hours of top snooker. Right this moment watched Selby win the British Open.
    Congrats to Mark, the Gentleman.

      Cool story, been watching smith and bloody jones for two days now, lol. Over here in crooked teeth land we don't get any sketch shows on the tv nowadays, well none that I watch or know of and it's such a shame, our pc world has destroyed comedy. Mel smith was a genius, Griff was a great actor but he didn't obviously write much of the show, because he still does tv and he's not funny. If you liked this, try 'who dares wins' I've been watching a lot of them recently as I loved the show when it was on the tv. You might cringe a bit, but it shows where the pc crap has taken us, when I watched it in the 80's/90's I didn't cringe, I still laugh today though. Shame the world has gone cock a hoop with liberalism, the title 'liberal' sounds cool but they are the biggest twats the earth has ever spawned, liberals should be handing out weed and blowjobs, not worrying about what people say.
