Have just finished watching the final episode of the latest TVB drama series "The King of Snookers". As the name of the show stands, the storyline revolves around the game of snooker. It has excellent cast : Adam Cheng, Niki Chow, Patrick Tang, Joyce Tang and Derek Kok. Quite entertaining though, and at the same time, you get to learn a thing or two about the game. I must admit that some of the 'stunts' scene were overly exaggerating.
The game snooker, certainly did bring back good memories. During my days in London, you could find me gluing to the TV set watching snooker tournament instead of football matches. The masters during my era were Ray Reardon, Alex Higgins, Dennis Taylor, Steve Davies, and of course, my favourite player Jimmy White. Snooker, being a 'British' game, the World Championship were dominated by British players. Most of the above mentioned masters have been honoured MBE or OBE, not bad huh?
As predicted, the Hang Seng Index dipped when the serial first aired ... the Hongkies call it the Adam Cheng's effect... believe it or not?
Joyce Tang is very very pretty at her age. And Derek Kok, he is an excellent actor, he played kungfu master, he played evil, he played gay, he does every role so well.

As for Patrick Tang, this could be his big break. He started out as a calefare and finally he gets a role that actually focuses on him. I quite like him and I think he sings well. We bumped into him at the Elements in Hong Kong last year. He was very friendly and nodded when my girl asked for a photo together.
Yassy and HIM - the King of Snooker
So, for the final episode, both master and his deciple come to settle their scores on the snooker table. And, it is happy ending for everyone.
Ever since this serial has been aired, my son has 'secretly' took up the game. He cut out a mock snooker table from hardboard, gathered a few marbles and started potting and making fancy hand bridge styles.
Noticing his flair for snooker, I went out and bought him his first mini snooker table. Man, he was overjoyed!
