Pot Black Pot Black Pot Black was a BBC television series of annual snooker tournaments held in the United Kingdom from 1969 to 1986, which carried no ranking points, but played a large part in the popularisation of the modern game. The event was revived in the form of several one-off tournaments throughout the 1990s and up to 2007.

Mark Williams holds the event's highest record of 119. The BBC began broadcasting in colour in 1967
