Snooker streaker: the interloper evaded stewards then ducked under the table
BBC2's coverage of the snooker world championship was livened up by the appearance of a streaker at the beginning of yesterday evening's concluding session. As the overhead camera slowly panned towards the snooker table, a man appeared from the audience and ripped off a velcro suit. Hurriedly, the camera pulled back as presenter Hazel Irvine said: "Oh ... and that reminds me, Willie Thorne is indeed in the commentary box." Fellow commentator Dennis Taylor then began his commentary as if the snooker had already begun. "Well he commands the floor," he intoned of the naked gentleman. "He has taken his clothes off, he is under the table ..." Now there's grace under pressure for you.
