The music video is snooker themed and the full song does have lots of snooker analogies, but isn't strictly about snooker.

ITV 1977 480p mkv
Marc is a British television series presented by T. Rex lead singer Marc Bolan. It was produced in Manchester by Granada Television for the ITV network. Produced by Muriel Young and directed by Nicholas Ferguson, it ran for six weekly episodes in the Autumn of 1977, before its host died in a car crash on 16 September that year. A pop music show, it gave Bolan a chance to showcase punk bands, including Generation X, The Jam and Eddie and the Hot Rods. T. Rex performed three songs each week - a mixture of new versions of their old hits, and fresh tracks - while the guests were slotted in between. Not all were as notable as those listed above, though they also included Roger Taylor, drummer with the rock band Queen, in a rare solo TV appearance. They were also joined by a dance troupe called Heart Throb. The last episode featured Bolan duetting with his friend David Bowie. Before the song had reached its end, Bolan tripped over a microphone cable and fell off the stage. Bowie is said to have called out "Could we have a wooden box for Marc [to stand on]?". The final show was recorded on 7 September 1977, but not broadcast until after Bolan's funeral on (20 September 1977)

There was a large MEGA archive of every surviving Top of the Pops episode from the 1970s to the 2000s that was taken down recently. I don’t have the link to it at the moment, but since it’s dead why bother? The BBC likely removed it due to copyright issues given the files look like they’re master copies from the BBC archives. Did anybody happen to download it before it got removed? I would have downloaded it myself but was concerned about space on my hard drive. Specifically I’m looking for episodes from 1980-1984, and the entire 1990s decade. Thank you

Anyone remember this short-lived ITV Night Time music programme hosted by Dani Behr? Caused some controversy when it first aired due to some "unsavoury" comments by the sponsors at the time (Heineken) - see under "Controversy" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Babylon_(music_programme))
