Number One

I saw this film on its cinema release in the UK and thought it was pretty dreadful. I remember a ridiculous scene in which a snooker player is chasing the other player around the table in a rage, with the legendary commentor Ted Lowe saying "The crowd are loving this". 'Whispering' Ted Lowe demeaned himself by taking part in this travesty and must have just done it for the money. The story strongly implies that there's widespread fixing of matches in snooker which is most certainly not the case in real life apart from a few isolated cases. It's a truly bad film in so many ways but I give it 4 stars because I wasn't bored by it.
