Pot Black Time Frame - Steve Davis vs Ronnie O'Sullivan 

Ted Lowe commentator

My two favourite players. I'm more of a Davis fan though. Nice to hear O'sullivan call Steve his 'idol' at the end

I like this format a lot more than the current shoot out.

Fantastic! Had no idea this existed! I would have been 6 when this went out so can't say I remember it either... Great upload.

"Not a bad player is he, Ted?"

Two of my all time favourite Snooker Players. I loved Steve Davis in the 80s.

Must be an early example of a permanent on-screen scoreboard.

thanks for posting this... great to see.

Fancy trying to compete against the ‘ Rocket’ in this type of snooker !!

Because snooker was a lot slower in the 80's and early 90's, ideas like this about speeding it up came to light. Interesting to see the one of the fastest players in the modern game at this age though.

Weird how this entire series passed me by. I thought i watched everything snooker from the mid 80s on.

Awesome game! Best I've seen for ages!

Never saw this back in 1992, or this format. I saw these two play in a Matchroom League game in 1993 in my home town of Stevenage, that ended up 4-4. The other game was a ponytailed Ebdon vs Wattana, also 4-4.

Win, lose or draw...Steve Davis such a true gent and great sportsman

This Ronnie O'Sullivan kid is not bad is he.

All the signs were there, what a player he was even back then!

I remember watching this back in the early 90's! think it only lasted one series!

Ronnie playing this format now would be two 147s and a toilet break

Great footage, great fun. Absolute comedy though seeing the referees running around in between the frames! Why didn’t they just stop the clock? And when Davis‘ time ran out why didn’t they just end the match there as he was behind? I don’t think this caught on 😂😂

Steve must of known, this Ronnie fella is going to beat me a lot in the coming years.
