    This was a fantastic show.
    yes it was only one frame vut the platers where much slower then so a frame with eddie charlton against cliff thorburn could last forever.

    i was glued to this every week.

      Wasn't it Cliff Thorburn, sideburns and all, who hit the first 147 on PB?

          you are right, just googled it. Mark Williams 119 was the highest. Cliff hit the first televised 147.
