The BBC is appealing for snooker- mad Bathonians to apply for the tenth series of the Saturday night snooker show Big Break.

Qualifications for the show include being able to handle a cue, and a liking for comedian Jim Davidson who presents the programme.

Show spokesman Anna Amico said: "There are no specific entry requirements just a love of snooker.

"The succesful candidates will probably have other interests but there is no age or disability discrimination on this show."

Prospective candidates can phone for an application form on 020 8225 7556, or email researchers at: bigbreak@bbc.co.uk.

Following a shortlisting process, researchers from Big Break will visit to Bath in December or January to interview candidates.

Ms Amico is encouraging Bathonians to respond.

She said: "It is a long process and we need the forms a couple of months before we come to Bath everybody can take part."
