BBC to bring back iconic snooker game show Big Break after 24 years away

Iconic snooker game show Big Break will return to TV screens 24 years after being taken off air as the BBC revives the format for a new series.

Big Break originally ran for 10 series from 1991 to 2002, airing in primetime on Saturday evenings and attracting almost 14 million viewers at its peak, with comedian Jim Davidson hosting and the late John Virgo – who died earlier this year – alongside him as the snooker referee and trick-shot expert.
