Do you think they have ads in the middle of frames or something?
They certainly don’t.

Mike Smith, Mike Hallett and Joe Johnson are better commentators than Dennis Taylor, John Virgo and Willie Thorne.
Mike Smith retired 4 or 5 years ago. It's Phillip Studd and the brilliant Dave Hendon who are the main two

Does anyone know the title of the music played between frames during the infographics? It's really good but I can't find any info. I would use soundapp Shazam but I don't have a mobile, or a microphone.

It's played here at 9:36 here:

Does anyone know what Clive Everton is doing as i think he was one of the great snooker commentators

I'll post the answer to my teaser in the morning

If Mark Selby wins this he will emulate what Neil Robertson did in 2010 and John Spencer in 1977. What ?

Is Selby the spawniest player on the circuit? His good fortune has been relentless.

He will beat a qualifier while he is World Number one

Aren't there another 2 frames after this? Pretty sure someone on BBC said Ding could end tonight leading? It's almost 11pm!

I LOVE these kind of frames, more so than the century breaks. Really enjoying this session.

It's the frame that won't end!

In all seriousness, though, Mark Selby looks very tired indeed.

Non-English qualifier? (As Higgins beat Selby as a qualifier too)

I love a good safety battle but this is rather tedious when the finish line is still quite a while away for both players. Full respect to Selby for his nous around a snooker table for god sake.

Yep and he beat Judd Trump as well of course.

Selby cannot get a snooker in for love or money. His only hope at this rate is for Ding to pot the white by accident.

I much prefer Eurosport as well but I always feel like I should watch the final on bbc
I find it impossible to watch Eurosport with the constant "hissing" sound and the muffled commentators. How does anyone put up with that compared to the bbc's clean crisp sound.

The longer this frame goes on the longer we have to listen to Dennis, just end it!

I think all but one of Selby's matches have been against qualifiers.

So my guess is winning the title with only one seeded opponent.
