The match is one of the most famous snooker matches of all time and part of the reason for the surge in the sport's popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. The match contained no century breaks, the only final at the venue not to receive one. Two hour-long BBC documentaries, "When Snooker Ruled the World" from 2002 and "Davis v Taylor: The '85 Black Ball Final" made in 2010, commemorated the event. The final frame was released in full on home video as "The Greatest Snooker Final of All Time". The post-match single word responses to the press from Davis would later be used as a basis for a recurring character for television show "Spitting Image".
