A full replay of the final, dramatic frame of the 1985 World Snooker Championship, between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. With the scores level at 17-17, the winner of the final frame in this best of 35 match would be crowned World Champion.

Steve Davis, ranked number one in the world and the reigning champion, had started in ruthless fashion, racing towards an 8-0 lead. But he faced a determined comeback from Dennis Taylor, ranked number 11 and a losing finalist six years previously. Now, after some 14 hours of play in the final, the scores were even with the one frame remaining.

The match gripped the British sport-watching population to the extent that 18.5 million were still tuned in as the marathon game played out past midnight on 成人论坛 Two.
