Big Break (original) (raw)

Big Break is a British television game show, created by Roger Medcalf, Mike Kemp and Terry Mardell, presented by comedian Jim Davidson and snooker commentator John Virgo, and broadcast on BBC One between 1991 and 2002. Inspired by ITV's Bullseye, the programme focuses on teams consisting of a contestant and a profesional snooker player competing in rounds that involve snooker, with the best team eventually seeing its player seeking to win prizes for their contestant. The series was notable for often featuring a unique round involving trick shots, and the chemistry between Davidson and Virgo.
