Gods of Snooker

Gods of Snooker is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 3-episode run in May 2021. Produced by Louis Theroux's Mindhouse Productions for the BBC, the series captures the meteoric rise of professional snooker during its 1980s heyday. It utilizes extensive archival footage and contemporary interviews to chronicle how the sport transitioned from smoke-filled rooms to a global television phenomenon, focusing on the volatile personalities that defined the era.

The production was designed as a retrospective narrative, specifically framing the decade-long rivalry and cultural impact of the sport's biggest stars like Alex Higgins and Steve Davis. Because it serves as a historical document of a specific timeframe in sporting history, the narrative reaches a natural conclusion with the end of that cultural peak. There are no plans for further installments as the story of this particular sporting revolution is fully told within these three episodes.
