Leviathan

on BBC Two England

Continuing the eight-part series.

As the world championship battles on, actor and snooker fan Dennis Waterman investigates the history of the sport, which originated in the Raj and was popularised when the programme Pot Black was born in the sixties specifically to help persuade people to invest in colour televisions.

Ethnic cleansing in the Balkans may have increased recently but is nothing new. Presenter Mark Urban looks back to 1938, when the Serbs offered money to Turkey to take in 40,000 Albanian families - a deal which was halted by the outbreak of the Second World War. With Ralph Steadman.
