Gods of Snooker on BBC 2 which has 3 series. It was very nostalgic and brought back great memories of Alex Higgins and a young Jimmy White with “that” 69 clearance. How he made the cue ball do what seemed impossible is just astonishing.
@Mark TKO you have to watch it.
Re: Last TV show/Box Set you watched? (Flag spoilers)
I'm half way through it just now. You forget how cocky Davis was at the start of his career.
Mark Allen moans people talk about the characters from the past rather than now. Well give us some fucking characters then.
What an era
Re: Last TV show/Box Set you watched? (Flag spoilers)
I watch that 69 clearance 3 or 4 times a year. Crazy but I still expect him to miss when watching it back.
How he potted some of those balls I'll never know. One miss and the match was over.
That missed red by Jimmy when 59-0 up changed two careers.

You will not be surprised but I was a Ray Reardon and Cliff Thorburn fan so wanted the old guard to win including Alex Higgins. Preferred Borg to McEnroe in tennis, wanted Ali to beat Holmes ect.
I hated Davis with a passion but loved Jimmy White.
Re: Last TV show/Box Set you watched? (Flag spoilers)
Does not surprise me you were a Thorburn fan no.
But I was a Higgins fan, and preferred Borg, Ali and massive jimmy fan.
I hated Davis as a kid and realise now that was wrong of course but it was ok to cheer on the 'other guy' against him.
I doubt very much I'll watch once Ronnie packs in. The game needs some new rebels.
I bet you're a Selby fan

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was very good too.
The bromance between them is funny and used throughout the series. The Blip storyline was an interesting direction and the other characters made the show worth another series.

But that's on the Disney channel?

Disney have Bad Batch which is an animated Star Wars series about the Clones after order 66. Sounds good.
IPTV £50 per annum for every channel is value for money.

Mare of Easttown is worth watching. It's no True Detective but it's pretty good. Seven part HBO whodunit set in smalltown America.
Also rewatching The Vietnam War, an absolutely epic documentary if you haven't seen it.

Season 2 Black Summer Netflix. Thing about following zombie flicks, you're either all in or all out it seems. Really like this campy totally wtf survivor pace they keep throughout though. Rewatched late seasons of Boardwalk Empire too. Was asked to watch Chopped Junior ??? and opine but at some point you have to draw the line.
Re: Last TV show/Box Set you watched? (Flag spoilers)
Waiting for the Loki series to finish so can watch them all. After the succes of Wanda Vision and Falcon & Winter Soldier this hopefully is as good.
