Ronnie O'Sullivan Seventh Heaven Warner Bros Discovery snooker

Warner Bros. Discovery is premiering Seventh Heaven, a two-hour documentary on the career of snooker great Ronnie O’Sullivan at 8pm on 15 October.

The two-part film will be shown on Eurosport and discovery+ across the continent, the career of the seven-time World Champion with the snooker icon re-visiting some of the key moments that framed his storied career - from bursting onto the scene at the 1993 World Snooker Championship as a fresh-faced 17-year-old, all the way to this year’s record-equalling seventh world title.

Seventh Heaven sees Eurosport pundit Alan McManus go one-on-one with “The Rocket”, recalling the early stages of his career right up until his fourth world title in 2012.

Revelations in the first half include O’Sullivan recalling his unhappiness at the famous fastest-ever 147 break he recorded in 1997, reflecting on the left-handed shot he played against Alain Robidoux that drew widespread criticism, and discussing the absence of his father growing up which subsequently led to substance abuse and a period in rehab. The episode finishes with a surprise message from snooker great Ray Reardon and O’Sullivan examining the impact Dr Steve Peters’ had on his career.

The second part of the film sees O’Sullivan return to the Crucible for the first time since claiming his seventh World Championship earlier this year. Joined by McManus, he recounts his fifth win over Barry Hawkins in 2013, his loss to Mark Selby in the final the following year, and his sixth title won against Selby in 2020. 

Seventh Heaven reaches its climax with O’Sullivan and McManus reminiscing on the seventh world title he won earlier this year following an emotionally-charged final with Judd Trump, his relationship with his children, and taking stock of an incredible career that shows no sign of winding down.

This film arrives ahead of O’Sullivan and McManus joining Jimmy White and Neal Foulds to provide analysis during Warner Bros. Discovery’s coverage of the UK Championship, London Masters and World Championships – plus the Home Nations Series. Rachel Casey and Radzi Chinyanganya will present.

Discovery Sports, said: “The release of Seventh Heaven on our platforms across Europe is the perfect way to whet the appetite of sports fans as the snooker season gets into full flow.
