Haha. No skit please...but the real deal? I'm up for it.

It's on Iplayer - BBC Four showed it on the actual anniversary.

This is some standard from Williams, I didn't think over 4 sessions he'd be able to keep it up. Judd looks shell shocked at this stage, he probably thought today he'd pull away and win comfortably. It's putting pressure on his long game and safety and he's not coping at all.

Williams needs to have a big collapse for Trump to win this now because I don't think Judd can raise his game.

I'm in The Netherlands so no iPlayer. Of course I might find it on YouTube or elsewhere. But...as an afternoon bbc filler it will do for me. Or...just show the Wilson McGill frame...

Will someone please tell John V to stop repeating his lines, stop repeating his lines!!!

O'Sullivan's off to live in the middle east apparently. Backtracking on his 2 year commitment.

Don't forget Ronnie and Trump recently got resident status in Hong Kong as well

The TV coverage of the snooker has been replaced by Escape to the Country, so at least it's only the 980 in the venue who will have to suffer the exhibition.

Even out of the event he's still desperate to be the talking point.

He'll play on, its his life, he can't live without the drug of playing. He might not play often but he'll get another cue and go again. Williams changed cue mid season and he's playing better than ever.

Williams doing canny for someone who can’t see, I need to get myself one of those Labradors

Me too. Will be surprised if Judd wins this match now.

Yep, this is unplayable stuff by Williams. Every dept is absolutely the highest level. Ridiculous a 50 year old playing like this, never will anyone play this standard at 50 again.

I started a thread for the qualifiers.

Playing like this makes me think he's been exaggerating his sight problems!

Makes me wonder but who cares.

Careless break off from Judd, end of frame. Beautifully ruthless snooker from Mark.

Great result for Zhao, but I won't be totally convinced until I see him do it under real pressure, against an opponent who can go toe to toe with him, which Ronnie was nowhere near.

Williams the last 18 frames and Higgins missed blue looks like the story this year.

He'll have to get careless to lose to Zhao i think, can't see it though.
