"Instead all he can do is imagine that pint at the end of the session - that cooling, lagery swallow - and that first suck on a Lambert" so crude yet so poetic
I hope you all know that some of these lines were taken from actual snooker commentators talking about Paul Hunter, they would actually say these things and at the time we would laugh and repeat them, “ The lovely Paul Hunter what an Adonis, and his beautiful girlfriend sat watching this marvellous man..........”. And now it’s great to see these two noticed it!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God I miss those dimpled beer mugs, Packets of peanuts and all the other things like this in real pubs. Haven't seen a good pub like that since I was 10.
They nailed it man , snooker in the 70's and 80's they are frighteningly close. Deffo their best work. Gotta watch at world champs time. Thank you Dave and Rob!
As a huge fan of snooker, I can attest that in the old days, players did smoke and drink constantly, and so did the commentary.
the delivery of "oh and thats a bad miss" gets me every time

"Oh shit the kids!!!" My husband and I say that line ALLLLLLLL the time! XD We still crack up!!! Best sketch ever.
Despite watching the sketch numerous times I just noticed the “no smoking” sign in the back
As an ex-smoker, Mitchell's way of smoking in this character just makes me crave for one cigarette.
funny how quickly it turns from drunk jokes to homoerotic jokes

"It's like Christmas, isn't it?"
Bloody hell... That snooker drinking game at
"Peter Ebdon, in particular, looks ridiculous". Brilliant.
David Mitchell’s delivery of each line is impeccable .
"basking in the light of twin suns" is one of my favourite phrases.
These two really do transform when they play these particular characters
The best characters Mitchell and Webb did.
I don't know why these characters are so unpopular, as far as I'm concerned this is some of M+W's absolute best work.

David Mitchell is amazing. Can't get enough of him.
