    This was an enjoyable watch, I probably saw it back in the day but have no memory of it.

      @@SnookerBreak The problem is though with selling the stuff for them I suppose is that personally I don't think it would be that popular. Yes there would be people wanting certain stuff but I'm not so sure it would be sustainable over a long period. Alex Higgins and Jimmy White will always be popular but the majority of others not so. Around 14 years ago I know someone contacted the beeb asking for Higgins footage and was told a couple of dvds would cost £500.. but eventually as a one off they sent the dvds to them for free. When I tried a similar thing about 10 years ago they wouldn't even consider it. I wanted 1 match from the Worlds 85 as I was sitting near the front with my Dad. Indeed enjoy the Worlds where I think the likely winner will come from Ronnie and Murphy in the top half and possibly Wilson or Selby in the bottom.
