I really hope it's not too "warts and all" - on the BBC trailer Clive Everton's comment is frank to say the least! [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2010-09-01 16:10 ]

Great documentary. If you think about it, if it wasn't for him snooker wouldn't have grown to what it was and not many of us would have picked up a cue, he is arguably the primary reason why we are all playing cuesports today. Says a lot about the guy and what a massive impact he had on the game. ----------------- Chris @ Pro9[ This message was edited by: Buckster_uk on 2010-09-01 22:03 ]

Don't shoot me, but I was actually a Ray Reardon fan - and he was old even back then!
Good programme last night, and not as gruesome as I worried it might be.

Just watched it.
Fascinating documentary.
Very sad, but proved that he lived life to the full.

I seen it last night and it was a well put together documentary but I agree that 60 minutes was too short and it should have been 90/120. It was also very sad at times but I suppose that couldn't have been helped.

I watched it and was both fascinated and moved by it. From a purely cue sport geek point of view, I loved the analysis of his 69 break in the World Championship semi final against Jimmy White. From a human perspective, I found the stories about Higgins the man away from the table to be as fascinating as watching him at the table. I, too, wish it had been longer. Best wishes thecardman
