BBC-2 Knockout Snooker Competition
An introductory programme to the coming seven weeks' single-frame series featuring the world's top eight snooker players:
Gary Owen, Fred Davis (above), Jack Rea, Rex Williams, John Pulman, Kingsley Kennerley, Ray Reardon, John Spencer
...and tonight they're all round the same table!
Rarely can any sport, even on television, offer its supporters the top eight exponents of the game in one fifteen-minute appearance. Tonight BBC-2 does just that. Anyone who knows his snooker will agree that these names tonight are the top in their field.
If, on the other hand, your knowledge of the game is limited then we have the best instructors available to teach you some of the tricks of the table. Instead of a pointer these teachers use a billiard cue-in a very spectacular way-and confirm that they really are the masters.
Introduced by Keith Macklin and Ted Lowe
