With Rob Walker due at the Alexandra Palace to begin his MC duties at The Masters snooker and Nat Coombs scheduled to present Radio 5 Live Sports Extra's NFL coverage, it'll be interesting to see who BBC Two use as their reporter on their coverage of tomorrow's final. Perhaps it will be whichever commentator it is that misses out on a seat in the commentary box, or maybe they'll just decide against having one like they did last year.
I guess Hazel Irvine or John Parrot MCed the snooker this evening, can't confirm if they said 'He's on Fire- he's Stephen Maguire!' |

Rob got the boys on the baize in this afternoon then headed back to the Lakeside for interviewing duties. David Croft partnered by Tony Green for the first six sets and then Vassos Alexander to the finish.

Sunday 15th January - BBC Two
BDO World Professional Darts Championship Final: Tony O'Shea v Christian Kist Colin Murray presented from the Lakeside Country Club alongside Bobby George Commentators: David Croft (whole match) with Tony Green (sets 1 to 6) and Vassos Alexander (set 7 onwards) Reporter: Rob Walker, with Niels de Ruiter translating Kist's post-match interview It was good how all three commentators got to call some part of the final and that Rob Walker got to be involved in their coverage of it after all. Also a nice touch by Tony Green (who I don't believe is retiring Ian) to send his well wishes to Sid Waddell during his leg of the final. |

I must have missed that bit, I know David said something about Tony returning to the commentary box after his illness last year but might have missed that reference. If that's the case then it's the first I've heard of it, he must have kept it quiet although I haven't watched much of the coverage until this weekend so it might have been mentioned before tonight. Good luck in your retirement Tony.

Are you sure? That's when I heard it, that he would be retiring when David gave out a 'get well' to Sid Wadell.

I think you may have misunderstood him Ian. He said he was only doing the first 6 sets and Crofty said to him "go put your feet up you deserve it". No mention of retiring though

It may have been that then, as when he (David Croft) said something along the lines of 'what will you do in your time off', I went 'Ooh, is he retiring then?', and then I heard them both talking over each other, and finally heard David Croft tell him, as you say, to go and put his feet up.

Has anyone heard the brilliant Simon Holt on ATR or RUK recently. He hasn't been on channel 4 racing for last few weeks and is not down for tomorrow according to the EPG. Obviosuly could just be on a long holiday but did read something somewhere about a twitter comment he apparently made, hope its not got him into trouble?

It was THIS but they did make a joke out of it on "The Morning Line" and pointed out at the time that he was on holiday abroad so I wouldn't read anything into his absence currently.
Incidently for anyone who's interested I believe @SimonHolt3 is his actual Twitter account |

Willie Thorne's brother, Malcolm, died from cancer last week, which probably explains Willie's absence from the BBC's Masters coverage.

That's going some because he died in January 2011.
