This show just randomly popped into my head after about 20 years. Know idea why but I’m glad it did. So many fond memories of me and my parents watching this in the evening. Great times.
That's why I'm here, my man. My dad used to watch this show religiously. Trick shot was always my favourite part as a kid. My brother and I used to try to recreate them on our little 4 foot table in the living room 😂
Same here. We had a little folding table in the living room that was barely used because it got in the way. But whenever this show had been on, it would stay up for weeks
This was Saturday nights memories. I was a young teenager but we had live and kicking in the morning then superman, airwolf and Knight rider then this in the evenings
The jingle for this show came into my brain, was randomly talking to my mate from Ireland, he tells me about ' Hurricane Higgins' god rest his soul! Being honest, not the biggest snooker enthusiast, yet find meself hypnotised by the smart attire of the players, umpire, and the click of putted balls lol
I wish this show was brought back, doubt we'll get Jim back to host, but good old Virgo would be good to do a return, even pass the reigns to another great referee
gladiators brought me here it baffles me why they can remake the bill and crystal maze but cannot do gladiators theres more fitness freaks today than ever before you cant move for them all our 90s stuff beats this self obsessed love island reality crap thats on today its unbelievable
This show was great such a simple game of snooker for a few quid and naf prizes but it was great comedy gold with all the snooker gods and of course Jim Davidson
I wish they'd bring this back. Obviously they'd never let Davidson back on telly lol but they could do something with the current pundits and snooker greats and make the show better than ever. Anything for a bit of life back into snooker! Imagine a show about snooker on the telly at 5:45pm on a Saturday in 2021! lol Never gonna happen, I know.. Snooker barely gets any airtime now on telly and the clips online are just snippets of what little was on Tv. Who knows any good shows or youtube channels that can scratch the snooker entertainment itch?

Tell me about it!! I miss those days
Great times :)

Better than anything on TV nowadays. Comedy gold.
Jack Morningstar Tbf all these classics were better than the crap nowadays
Yep, a wonder they don't bring it back really! It's one they couldn't possibly screw up by making it again now surely lol
This is why the past is better than 2010-present
I couldn’t agree more.
Forgot to Add I'm Tony the third contestant.
Where would you recommend to get some new slippers?
You did very well Plus you got to meet Jim. Do you still have your trophy 🏆. 🇬🇧
Takes me back to my childhood and I used to watch Big Break on a Saturday evening
Takes me back to my childhood and I used to watch Big Break with my dad. That was how I got into snooker.
Same. Watching this and playing Side Pocket on the Sega Megadrive with my dad as well.
@@markobighead3173 it's a TV show that won't be forgotten. Absolute legends.

I remember being a child watching this and couldn’t wait to see what pro’s they had on great memories
Loved this programme so much, we're have the years gone..

used to love this, was like bullseye with snooker
Saturday evening was big break time....loved it
Jim Davidson on prime-time TV that'll never happen again to risky

"What will I be doing for the next 20 years?" Oh... you do not want to ask that.
"Still watching this show" would be the answer 😂
I’ve just come here for a bit of Nostalgia 😁
Powerful thing
Same.
Great program, funny, original, lovely english humour.
Back when TV was just about entertainment and there was no social engineering propaganda throughout
Love the theme tune slowed down for Terry G !!!!
Omg I miss this!! Time flies
I wish this show was brought back, doubt we'll get Jim back to host, but good old Virgo would be good to do a return, even pass the reigns to another great referee
90s TV was something else
Think it's fair to say they had some good fun making this 😀😀😀😀😀
Nostalgia! Saturday evening after watching this Id get my snooker table out and recreate pocket money.
Big Break was about Mike Hallett's entire season by then
Jim was excellent at this, so was John Virgo, great show
It actually appeared in 1996, as you can see from the BBC logo
Great times a real British saturday night in with a take away and a few beers whole family around the telly good times
gladiators brought me here it baffles me why they can remake the bill and crystal maze but cannot do gladiators theres more fitness freaks today than ever before you cant move for them
all our 90s stuff beats this self obsessed love island reality crap thats on today its unbelievable
This would do really well with new episodes on UA-cam. 👍
Funny enough for me I grew up in the 80's
Could you imagine a woke version of big break
It would be horrific...we were lucky to watch the real thing
Hey everyone, we found the gammon.
@@-Benedict We also found you, an adult baby.
RIP to pumphol/contestant Tony. Top man
Love this show 😂
Ive watched a few of these now and ive heard Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter mentioned.
That’s the trustworthy lefty BBC for you
No, luckily he'll land on his hard drive!
Just need a chippy and to watch Noel’s house party after and it’s a Saturday night
Love this show
Mike was great. He really let hendey take that works title from him. He had it! Took him months to recover from that loss.
Wasn't it the Masters? I don't think he ever recovered from it to be honest!
@@kabukidreamboy ..yep, he never recovered from it, the worst capitulation I've ever witnessed
When Saturday night was great!
This show taught me how to play snooker
You must be a poor player then
@@benarcher7411 I said I learnt didn’t mean I could do it 😂😂😂
This show was great such a simple game of snooker for a few quid and naf prizes but it was great comedy gold with all the snooker gods and of course Jim Davidson
This guy used to be a male model.... its Stephen Lee
Eek, though with the 'body positivity' movement alas your irony might be misguided!
Use to watch this with my uncle
This show made me join Riley's

They could get jv back on it and that poofy bloke that presents the apprentice you’re fired. That would appease the bbc censorship squad
Soooooo funny , great show ! Don't make them like that now . . They should
if only the Alex Higgins and Gary glitter bit came through
Lol, Alex's off the table shenanigans were less than stellar, but like you say, dropping Glitter on his head would have made up for it all!
I’d have paid to see that.
when you realise 1998 is 24 years ago. this wouldnt be allowed now.
I mean it probably would. nothing really offensive in there at all bar some dated references (How! brings memories back!)
1.55 if only.
Friday 13th February 1998
I wonder what happened to Christina.
Largest desert is the Antarctic
Absolutely, not like the BBC to get things wrong!
Jesus, how hard were the quiz questions?
6:33 what a weird head structure, reminds me of Mars Attacks!! Ag ag lmao
There's always one more on with a pathetic comment.
What are the chances of anything coming from Mars eh??
No second answer on the card and they laughed about it. God I miss the past
MCMLXCVI The L is not needed!
good ol days...before the social media corruption!
Who is the announcer
Bullseye also
Nick Pierce wasn't one of the biggest names in snooker and not really an excellent player.

Grow up
Back when tv was good unlike today's woke crap on TV
Jesus Christ, as far as entertainment goes, this was atrocious, Jimmy White is as funny as rectal cancer.
Lmao you are immediately irrelevant.
God, this show was pure shite.
Isn’t as bad as the crap on today
