Pot Black
''Pot Black'' was a BBC television series of annual snooker tournaments held in the United Kingdom from 1969 to 1986, which carried no ranking points, but played a large part in the popularisation of the modern game. The event was revived in the form of several one-off tournaments throughout the 1990s and up to 2007. ''Pot Black'' helped transform snooker from a minority sport with just a handful of professionals into one of the most popular sports in the United Kingdom.〔 Mark Williams holds the event's highest record of 119.
==History==
The BBC began broadcasting in colour in 1967 and was looking for programmes that could exploit this new technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Pot Black'' )〕 Broadcasting snooker, then still a minor sport, was the brainchild of the then controller of BBC Two, David Attenborough. The first ''Pot Black'' was held in 1969 at the BBC Studios in Birmingham. The programme first aired on 23 July 1969, on BBC2.〔 The event featured eight players, namely Gary Owen, Jackie Rea, John Pulman, Ray Reardon, Fred Davis, Rex Williams, Kingsley Kennerley and John Spencer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/great_moments/archive/july.shtml )〕 The event continued until 1986, by which time more and more snooker events were being televised and the ''Pot Black'' format was becoming outdated. It returned in 1990, but was discontinued after the 1993 event.〔
A one-day ''Pot Black'' tournament was held on 29 October 2005, and broadcast on the BBC's ''Grandstand''. The event featured eight players, namely Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry, Stephen Maguire, Matthew Stevens, Paul Hunter, John Higgins, Jimmy White and Shaun Murphy, with Stevens beating Murphy in the final.〔 The 2006 edition of ''Pot Black'' took place at the Royal Automobile Club in London on 2 September 2006. Mark Williams beat John Higgins and achieved the highest break in the history of the tournament with a 119 clearance in the final. The 2007 edition, the final ''Pot Black'' to date, was aired on Saturday 6 October 2007 on BBC One.〔 It was won by Ken Doherty, who beat Shaun Murphy 71–36, making him the first Irishman to win the competition.
There have only been six century breaks in the history of ''Pot Black''.〔 Eddie Charlton notched the first-ever century in 1973, and his 110 break stood as the event record for many years until eclipsed by Shaun Murphy's 111 against Jimmy White in 2005. The ''Pot Black'' highest break record is currently held by Mark Williams, with his 119 in 2006.〔
