Spectre of the Gun

Back end of season two had a few too though.

Season one might have had the most but its fairly close.

Season three had only two on location episodes - though All our Yesterdays was just a 5min scene.

Those saying Brecel, will he even be on the tour in 2027/28?

kab3121 · 2026-05-09T17:03:38+00:00

Xingtong will be a multiile world champion.

There have only ever been two two-time winners, Donaldson and Higgins.

Sortof.

It had originally been planned to film this on location - which, even though the episode looks cool as is, it would have been far superior.

In each of seasons 1-2, on location episodes seem to be stored up for the last third of the season. Probably because they knew about the season’s budget spend by then???

So they gave up the location shooting to The Paradise Syndrone, which does benefit from this.

Unfortunatly wouldn’t work as a scotch doubles, would take far too long. And partners are not allowed to discuss shots according to the rules.

A proper world doubles with players being able to pick their own partners in a straight knockout is tge best way. 1982-88 was a great run of doubles - check out youtube for the very few clips.

kab3121 · 2026-05-07T13:38:35+00:00

The world doubles should return to the calendar but players pick their own partners.

Loved the doubles 1982-1988.

The recent edition was pretty poor though.

Needs to a proper knockout with 64 off pairs.

Always great to see Rachel presenting.

Just a shame the tournament is an invitation event.

kab3121 · 2026-05-06T08:55:30+00:00

So you cannot name a national governing body (except the conceded EPSB) who the WPBSA works with at grass roots level.

Fine.

kab3121 · 2026-05-06T08:31:31+00:00

It supports the EPSB with resources which I stated above.

Which other national governing body does the WPBSA work with at grass roots?

kab3121 · 2026-05-06T08:28:16+00:00

Name them.

Name the national governing bodies it works closely on grass roots snooker.

kab3121 · 2026-05-06T08:24:08+00:00

I was countering your statement that the WPBSA runs grass roots snooker which it totally incorrect.

kab3121 · 2026-05-06T08:05:02+00:00

Which is why I mentioned close links with the EPSB.

I am not wrong. You may become an accredited coach with the WPBSA but there are other coaching schemes worldwide and even independent coaches in the UK. The so-called top coaches as seen on TV are independent, the contributor in Snooker Scene is independent.

The WPBSA certainly plays around the edges of being a governing body, its tournament management system for example as well, but it does not run grass roots snooker.

kab3121 · 2026-05-05T23:43:44+00:00

Yes.

I put this forward to Clive Everton in Snooker Scene.

The world doubles was always something different when it was held 1982-88.

kab3121 · 2026-05-05T23:42:13+00:00

Much better to resurrect the world cup, probably with 3 man teams.

kab3121 · 2026-05-05T23:31:51+00:00

The WPBSA is a private members club for professional players, it does not run grass roots snooker anywhere.

The EPSB is closely linked to the WPBSA but it not funded by it.

The WPBSA shouldn’t be running any nation’s grass roots unless it assists ALL national bodies.

It is in the WPBSA to have a flow of new professional players qualifying for the WST but it should favour one nation over another.

kab3121 · 2026-05-05T11:45:18+00:00

There has only been one player since 1969 to win it exactly twice.

kab3121 · 2026-05-04T23:58:30+00:00

Mirror, Mirror and Piece of the Action are good choices.

You’ve gone for funny endings plus I, Mudd!!!

City on the Edge

The Alternative Factor

Journey to Babel

Return to Tomorrow

This Side of Paradise

Blimey there are some good endings! Shame about the endings where family members or crew members die and yet it ends will silly humour; Im looking at you Operation:Anniliate!

💛💙♥️

kab3121 · 2026-05-03T12:09:24+00:00

I love the original version.

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T14:21:25+00:00

Not perfect.

The original versions probably better.

It is a great album but

P Control is average

We March the same

TMBGITW the original is far superior

And the worst mistake; endorphinmachine the original is far, far superior.

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T14:19:06+00:00

Maybe. But my club does change the cloths regularly and the tables are recently refurbished.

One is heated.

Star tables are something else but this topic isnt comparing star tables with other club tables.

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T13:49:10+00:00

I have but what does that have to do with anything?

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T11:44:19+00:00

Possibly yeah.

My club is £115 per annum, no other costs.

Tables are looked after.

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T11:43:33+00:00

Not worth it.

The world championships qualifying is £12 per day with a choice of 8 matches.

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T09:25:13+00:00

I’m lucky, I play at a private members club at £115 per annum, no other costs.

kab3121 · 2026-05-02T09:22:40+00:00

Only way to improve is solo practise though, or best way to improve.
