Nick and Phil are joined by one of snooker's super fans, Brian Wright, in Sheffield's Tudor Square to talk about the latest developments at the World Championship. There's a review of every second round and quarter-final match, including victory for Luca Brecel over Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Selby seeing off John Higgins and Si Jiahui making the last four. There's also a look ahead to the semi-finals.
Brian also talks about ticket prices and his belief they've now risen too much for this tournament, amid stories about empty seats in the first year of the new Century Club hospitality tickets. There's plenty too about Brian's tradition of wearing Coventry shirts at the Crucible and his great love for the event, which he's been attending for decades.
We are also honoured that Brian chose his time with us to share personal details about his life and his significant recent mental health issues of recent times. We would like to say that if you've been affected by anything you've heard in this episode, there are a number of organisations out there that will be able to help. You can contact the Samaritans at http://www.samaritans.org or call this number for free from any phone in the UK and Ireland: 116 123
