Sporting Chance

on BBC Two England

Presented by Anneka Rice The third of eight programmes in which well-known personalities take up sports of their choice. This week:
Brian Blessed takes up one of the oldest English sports, the longbow: 'I've often held a longbow on stage, playing Shakespeare, but I never thought I'd get the chance to shoot one.'
Marti Caine gets off the nursery slopes as her ski-ing improves: 'This is my first trip up the mountain and if you look down you don't need a laxative, I can tell you.'
Paul Nicholas gets to play his first snooker match: 'It's all very well knocking balls around with the lads, but playing in front of an audience with cameras and lights is something else.'
Anneka Rice chats to Paul at his home, about his experience on the snooker table.
