Too many white faces for today’s tv....don’t forget Jim on the generation game he had just the right cheeky chappy for that show.....gone are my family fools and horses top gear doctor who...funny seems there’s an obvious theme here....
Love him or loath him, Jim was an excellent entertainer and had unique personality. The BBC should recognize his achievements, instead of trying to cancel him.
I loved Big Break. It was great afternoon/evening TV on a Saturday. JD & JV were the perfect combination. These outtakes are hilarious! Really miss this show.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Derrick Curtis Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wow! Feel like a kid again! I was always playing outside as a kid ...i used to pretend I didn't hear my mum call me in so eventually she would shout "BIG BREAK IS ON!" That always got me in :) miss this!!
Amen to that. You can see they had a good time rehearsing and recording this classic prime time series. I don't think I properly appreciated it at the time, even though I did watch pretty much every broadcast. It is a truism, you only miss something when it's gone.🤷 Much of the banter made it to air, and it always 'seemed' like everyone was just 'having a laugh'. _'Snooker loopy nuts are we!'_ And I agree about Davidson, very naturally funny man, one quick cheeky chappy! And a wonderfully authentic smile goes a long way. Unfortunately not PC enough for present day United (Socialist Sanctimonious) -Republics- Kingdom. _note_ I don't want to be misunderstood, PC was a soviet invention, and ought to have died along with it. Hence the elaborately fabricated acronym.
Lmao! Omg this show was hilarious 🤣 as a lover of snooker and playing snooker this was the perfect comedy show on a Saturday night.. me and my dad use to be in stitches laughing every Saturday watching this lol x
Great show, great pair of presenters, imagine virgo one day he's putting up with Davidsons antics, next he's having a drink with his best mate hurricane Higgins. Great bloke who stood up for both Davidson and Higgins when the shit hits the fan. True gentleman
i never knew Jim Davidson drank with Alex Higgins I doubt Alex met Jim on the golf course or at the crucible they weren't in the same circles and i don't think Alex was on Big Break either so i don't think their paths ever crossed
Absolutely love Jim on this programme also on the generation game, he is one of the best entertainers in this country hands down, and for you who do not like his humour, don't watch and leave the ones of us who do to enjoy him. Love you Jim! Give me a like if you would like to see this show resurrected with Jim and John!

@@thegrandmuftiofwakanda pretty sure they don`t have a diversity quota, try watching the show, also what`s wrong with diversity? Plus It`s still a very funny show.
My god this brought me back to my youth. This show was awesome and Jim Davidson should be a sir by now. Also my god John Virgo was funny as well as Jim.
These were the best TV when it comes to having a laugh time has changed and this material would never be allowed into days television but thank god we all had a brilliant laugh with all the all-stars comedians of the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s as some are now entertaining those in Heaven and the almighty must be having a great time. I miss them all god bless them that was comedy back then.
Simon Cowell is shit as are the shows he produces, they are however full of young talent who you describe as pas it. Do you not think this Cockney cunt was past it, milking shit jokes and an absolutely shit personality?
Loved every minute of this video I bet they had more fun that they could make a series on the bloopers and it would be just as good as the programme 😊😂😂
I miss watching quality telly programs like this proper entertainment (the FTA digital channels ruined TV in this country).... JV and JD made a great team.
Simon Lloyd, to be fair, mate, game shows back then were watched by the whole family, they weren't just some shite to fill the space between the news and some Marple Mystery pish. I loved being a bairn in the early 90's watching Big Break with my parents, just as my elder sister did 5 years prior watching Bullseye with them. Saturday night used to be about having a laugh with a takeaway, today it's about finding which punter on the street would most likely make people part with their hard-earned cash. "Hi, Tabitha, congratulations on winning this year's X-Idol, here's a record deal that will make you £100,000 and make me $10,000,000. Remember to fuck off after a year so we can do this all again."
seems like SO many "behind the scenes" bloopers etc. but Jim called it right when he said "this will be shown one day on Nordens (It'll be all right on the night) programme.." had several laughs through this, it must have been such a laugh between ALL the crew to make this programme.. and yeah, RIP Wullie..
Ricky gervais is the modern day Jim Davidson, just as Ricky can say anything without objection so did Jim during his golden era, his jokes are timeless,
I remember it well, it aired every Saturday night along with Noel's House Party and the Paul Daniels magic show right upto 1992 alongside Barrymore and YouBet over in ITV right upto 1992 if I recall correctly! Jings that's going back!
40:36 I truly cannot believe that Virgo thought this was a good idea! This would be a difficult shot for the world number one of any era to judge! I mean, I guess if the first ball was going extremely slowly and the second was struck extremely hard...but he certainly didn't stipulate that when setting it up. An I can't see how it could be done with any certainty otherwise. And it looked like the lady was totaly incapable of even striking accurately let alone forcefully :-)
Back in the sixties, JV worked in the warehouse at Miles Drive steel stockholders on Tenax Road , Trafford Park. I was on the staff at the time but never met him. Think he was still an amateur then.
I once stood next to John Virgo at a club toilet urinal. I asked him to show me a trick with his balls... he wasn't amused but the rest of those in the toilets pissed themselves. Literally. True story
Is that when Paul Daniels stood behind you and asked if you could feel his thumb up your arse? When you said, he reached around waving his hands saying, 'and that's magic'.
That joke is as old as Paul Daniels. Ricky Gervais survived for a long time with a version of that joke. I think he even told it on his short lived chat show the night he interviewed Jimmy Saville. He just replaced Paul with an Uncle.
Someone in the comments mentioned Pot Black and I am sure that Jim used to watch that and all. 'Do you remember that when it was in the days before colour telly's got cheaper, 'For those viewers watching in Black and White, he has just hit a red ball''. 🌝
John Virgo always made this show for me. Even as a little boy watching this, his deadpan delivery of jokes used to crack me up. Loved this show.
Big break, strike it lucky, gladiators, noels house party. Back when Saturday night TV was must watch tele.
Psyoptic Prodigy worth staying home for unlike the crap on today.
So so true
What you don't like PJ & Duncan's black face drunk driving sponsored and televised cocaine party?

Great tv Saturday night viewing not now singing dancing gets on my f****** nerves total crap
Love him or loath him, Jim was an excellent entertainer and had unique personality. The BBC should recognize his achievements, instead of trying to cancel him.
Why is he getting canceled?? What did he do? Lol
Shame he was a Thatcher lover.
Definitely choosing the latter, he's an extreme right nut.

As a kid, used to watch this every Saturday with my Gran. Happy days
Same here, Saturday nights with my late gran watching this along with gladiators, noel's house party and casualty. Happy memories to cherish.

I used to watch with my pappy. Howling with laughter. I loved John Virgo
Rest in snooker heaven willy thorne xx
I love how John is such a bumbling fool, even though he's a world class snooker player
Miss quality Saturday night shows like Big Break.....all we get now is rubbish talentless programs that quite simply bore the arse off me.......
A very enjoyable blast from the past. Bring back real comedy. Thank you Jim and all your co stars.

The I'm left handed scene had me in stitches
Absolutely hilarious. Jim is still as good now as he was then.
"'SAY NO MORE ""
You are right about Jim but he FUCKED UP his Career when he went on Celebrity Hell's Kitchen and started bullying Brian from Big Brother for being GAY

was a genius in comedy so observant unbelievably funny absolutely down to earth loved him

This is the type of program snooker needs again,,, Ahh the memories,, Totally agree with 16Bitbaz comment,
That was hilarious. It's a pity we don't get these type of shows any more instead of Cowell's domination of past it efforts.
