@iceplanetx Absolutely right! 😊 Hope there's a good tribute to JV in the first episode at least. Can't imagine Hendry doing any trick-shots though!

It's Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday and in 1980 he faced questions from an audience of young viewers about his life and television career. Lesley Judd hosted the show, and Attenborough talked about making a connection with gorillas, and his concerns for the environment.

Sir David Attenborough, national treasure, is today celebrating his 100th birthday.

But did you know he was not only instrumental in popularising colour television, but also snooker? In the 1960s, he was Controller of BBC2. Shortly after the channel began broadcasting in colour, he created the snooker tournament Pot Black, seeing the game as an ideal way to showcase the new colour telly technology. The series helped transform snooker from a minority sport into one of the most popular in the UK.

In the late 1960s, he was controller of BBC2 and he wanted content which would showcase the new colour service. Snooker was perfect, and so on July 23rd 1969, just three days after man walked on the moon, snooker took its own giant leap with the first broadcast of Pot Black.

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough ❤️

Snooker fans watching across the globe may not realise that Attenborough played an important role in the development of our sport on television.

@iceplanetx Definitely 😊 Was a great final, with the sound off anyway!😂

I love Wu Yize but I never want to hear another Wuuuu ever again

[Sam Cole @SamCoIe14]

@iceplanetx On a lighter note, hope you enjoyed Shaun's wardrobe changes for each session!😂

[Sam Cole @SamCoIe14]

@iceplanetx Confusing the first time, bloody awful every time 😂

[Sam Cole @SamCoIe14]

@iceplanetx Honestly, I don't know how it was allowed to continue. The way it came across on TV was truly awful. I hope it wasn't actively encouraged by Rob Walker

[Sam Cole @SamCoIe14]

One day we'll have a World Championship final between Wu Yize and Zhao Xintong. One day.

Think I'd rather watch 'that' frame again than listen to Kyren.

Such sad news. RIP Ted, star of Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing, and possibly the most famous Patterdale Terrier mix of all time.

📸 Ted was rescued from a dog home by the show’s executive producer Lisa Clark in 2013. What a life he had.

Has Dennis sent Hendry to sleep?
