I watched the Sky Sports News programme - "Special Report - The Voice of Darts" on Christmas Day. They discussed Indoor League and showed a clip of Bar Billiards - although they called it Billiards! You can watch it online at www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,15618_8354126,00.html |

I did catch this clip on a nice tribute to Sid Waddell in between the darts yesterday and it mentioned Viv Shepherd in the Indoor League (I would know who the lady players were in the clip though).
Would be great if we could find any episodes of the indoor league somewhere - I now there is stuff on youtube but not much!

Yeah I can't see it on the 14 minute clip Sav, the show on Sky was lsightly longer about 20 minutes and the clip of bar billiards was on there.

I taped a repeat series shown on ESPN but only minimal amount of bar billiards shown, was timed breaks of 45 seconds each, the one I saw was from 1972. There were some interesting youngsters in the pool i.e. Willie Thorne and John Virgo (19 at the time).

ESPN Classic showed a few 'new' old episodes of Indoor League a month or so ago. The timed breaks rule was interesting. They played on a brown baize too!
