Can anyone else hear a really high pitched ringing quietly in the background?

Yes I can, but overall it can be ignored enough to watch

No it was always there and it will always be there. There can never be silence.

It's in me blood, plain and simple... ...but it can be treated with tablets, so back to the snooker. 😂😂😂

Gold. Absolute gold! 😂

If Eddie Charlton played Cliff Thorburn, this wouldn't be too far from an accurate representation. The only historical inaccuracy with this sketch is you can clearly see the table through the smoke.

That is one of the many things I love about Mitchell and Webb- the little subtleties, the details that you only see if you're really paying attention. Any other comedy sketch show would have opened with a full-screen shot of the "Embolism World Snooker" logo to play it for laughs (after all, it must have cost some money and effort to design and print it), but here they leave it quietly in the background, for eagle-eyed viewers to chuckle at. The attention and observation of details that goes into even their silliest sketches is second to none...

This is done so well. Believable, yet totally absurd at the same time.

Ooh and that's a bad miss.

Ah, the Embolism World Championships. Happy days.

This is basically a documentary. Ahhh... the Seventies.

I am a fan of participation in any activities while pissed

Love the advertising in the background!

One of my favourite sketches

Yes! Mark the Shark is in business!!

"the man keeps in shape....like many a gay"

Love that they spelled Ted’s name wrong on the scoreboard

The man keeps in shape like many a gay

Anyone else notice that when the scoreboard first comes up after the foul around 2:30 the "l" of Ted Wilkes is missing?

I remember playing snooker well me and a friend were as drunk as them two. Took an hour to pot a ball, the people waiting told us to fuck off in the end 😂 after 14 snake bites ( drink) it's a wonder we could hold the cues. Illegal in some uk pubs as they can't sell mixed drinks now..

remarkably a very acurate description of snooker 30 years ago

"Many a gay!" XD This is still funny.

Ooooh that's a bad miss

Embolism Snooker :)

I wonder how many pints and cigarettes they got through making this.

Tinnitus simulator.

So, as an American, I've determined that snooker is your NASCAR. "Embolism" was a reference to tobacco sponsorship. NASCAR had the Winston Cup.

Sponsored by Embolism, nice touch.

Y'all remember that graggy Russian writer who threw Elaine's electronic organizer out the window of the car? It's about to happen to my phone

4:03 Embolism

Unless he was playing for the red, in which case he fouled by hitting the yellow first.

ChristopherLuck i noticed that too, really pissed me off

what??

was snooker really like this in the uk? WOW! they should bring it back

Thing is, Webb's shot at 3:15 doesn't actually break any rules.

Hale and Pace sketch about darts destroyed it in the uk. This is just a shameless copy of that.

The close up of David's mouth at 1:19 literally made me wet

Looks like someone didn't do their research. They say the final is in 1975 at the Crucible despite the fact the world snooker championship wasn't played at the Crucible until 1977.

They probably used 1975 so as not to disrespect any actual players.

12 players also famously died in a coach crash

Does anyone know who wrote the sketches in this show? Because they were fucking shite. And the very obvious canned laughter is so misplaced.
