Ted Hastings doing snooker commentary is the Overdub of the Month

Comedian Matt Highton has a real gift for taking familiar elements of film and TV and turning them into impressive, fascinating and funny content.

For example, he has recreated the opening credits of many TV favourites, using nothing more than stock footage.

He also overdubs familiar scenes to create special moments like this.

Matt recently matched up snooker player John Higgins with the iconic words of Line of Duty’s Ted Hastings, and this is how that worked out.

This was his reasoning.

A while ago I thought Line of Duty's Ted Hastings would be perfect for snooker commentary. Well here he is over a John Higgins shot and I think I was right. pic.twitter.com/BaEyBTRWGP

We absolutely agree, and so did these people.

This is brilliant 👏 https://t.co/BkoDMuAKp6

We would definitely watch the snooker if Adrian Dunbar signed up to do the commentary.

This needs to happen! Let's start a campaign to get Ted Hastings commenting on the snooker 🤣 #LineOfDuty https://t.co/OePLjkZ3Mp
