Well, not bar billiards exactly.
In a recently broadcast programme on BBC4 called Trad Jazz Britannia, there is a (very) brief clip of a bar-billiard-style table being played. There don't appear to be any pegs, and the back cushion seems to be curved not straight, but there's a configuration of holes on it which certainly appear similar to what we're used to.
Can anyone advise what this would have been?
I don't know if the programme remains available to view on-line. But if anybody is sufficiently interested to do so, the clip in question (which lasts no more than a second or so) occurs approx 6 minutes from the start.
