Pot Black first transmitted 23 July 1969

Pot Black was a startling demonstration of the benefits of the new Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Two colour service, and became an immediate success following its launch on 23 July 1969. The game of snooker was ideal for colour television; cameras mounted directly above the table allowed viewers a clear view of the action and enabled them to see the coloured balls potted in the correct order.
