Dennis Taylor & Jack Karnehm coaching snooker on TV 

Jack had a great voice. He's sadly missed on the BBC commentary team.

@watfordtripod Never knew personally but he did come across as a nice fella when he commentated, what I would call a players commentator who really understood what they were going through. I remember he got quite emotional when Kirk Stevens did his 147 at the B & H Masters not long after Cliff Thorburn did his.

What was this programme called? Seem to recall Taylor knocking in a 90 ish break playing just slide top on every shot. Effortlessly.

i like her leather skirt

The people saying that a 33 break is "bad" after playing the game for five years obviously haven't played much snooker and don't know what they're on about. It's not an easy game by any means!

Jack Karnhem was a true gentleman.

Brilliant commentator he was

Oh for a radio station that would just have story time with Ted Lowe and Jack Karnehm. If an insomniac couldn't sleep they could try them.

Jack's voice is so smooth its hypnotic. sends me to sleep.

Frances de la Tour tries to play snooker.

Whats the name of the tune!!?? We try to please everybody!!!

Im the 16 year old from this clip, i was told to say id only been playing for 9 months with a high break of 20. Series was recorded in 1988 at BBC Scotland in Glasgow. Didnt do me any harm, ended up highest break of 105.

holy fuck she wos miles off !!

Many years ago, I visited Jack for tuition, He coached me for a few weeks on his Table, and then gave me this advice:- Throw your cue in that bin over there, and take up another sport, because you'll never be able to play Snooker, and you're wasting good money trying! At least he was honest!

Thank you for this. Good old Jack. He reminds me of a friendly old uncle.

Think this series was called "Play Snooker" or something similar to that effect and was shown around tea-time

I remember watching this on tele when it was first aired. For some reason i've always remembered Dennis potting that blue!

@watfordtripod Agree with you totally mate. I don't watch much televised snooker now, in fact I spend more time watching the nostalgia clips on YT! Higgins' century in less than 4 mins is pure class!

wow, 5 years of playing and a break of 33? that sounds bad. good vid though

Yes did it help you.

Exactly.

Jack Karnehm could have made a few quid narrating audio books. Furthermore, this is video evidence that he may have been the most patient human being in history.

could you just quote me its price

#LOL at his glasses
