TV reviews: Life’s just too short to while it away watching sport that never ends

I hadn’t intended to watch Monday’s World Championship Snooker (BBC Four, Monday, 8pm) but the cat fell asleep on my lap and I didn’t want to disturb her by getting up. She hates it when you do that.

Anyway, I was stuck. Nothing else was on. So snooker it was.
