Episode 3: The World Snooker Championship - The Crucible of Dreams
Jack and Ben chalk up for a dive into snooker’s most hallowed ground — the Crucible. That unassuming theatre in Sheffield has seen history made, records fall, and the likes of the Nugget, the Hurricane, the Whirlwind and the Rocket become legends - as it hosts the biggest event in the sports calendar, the World Snooker Championship.
They revisit the tournaments 1985 final: Davis vs. Taylor, black-ball drama at midnight - the moment snooker captivated a nation. Then there’s Hendry’s icy dominance, Ronnie’s ethereal brilliance, Thorburn's magical 147 and Alex Higgins being impossible to not keep mentioning - Snooker is a game of characters larger than the Crucible itself.
So join Jack and Ben as they cue up the chaos, curses, magic and modesty of the World Snooker Championship, where the baize is the battlefield and legend is built with every break.
