Same happens with Top Gear when that's on. Really quite annoying in both cases.

How's the teef?

Hey, don't knock the snooker, its my favourite thing to watch on a sunday afternoon just after a big dinner. They have the right pitch and intonation to send you to sleep.

I LOVE snooker, it's about the only sporty thing I watch on TV except wimbledon so am well and truly happy. ESP as Stephen Hendry is in the semis, he is my alltime fave. It is making life tricky as I keep having to nip out in the intervals to get the garden done lol
, but it will all be over my sunday night.
sorry

Ah but that was with ol' whispering Ted commentating, Televisions equivalent of a couple of valium washed down with a scotch. I think snooker was only ever popular with the TV companies cos it sold so many colour TVs.

I do like watching Ronnie though. Even recorded it to go to the lottie this afternoon...how sad is that Gardeners world or not, I shan't be able to watch anything except the back of some bloody caravan tomorrow as I am under family instructions for the bank holiday.
