    I like how whenever he's too late to say "where's the cue ball going", he still says "where's the cue ball gone" instead.

    You wouldn't think a 20 minute video of "where's the cueball goin'" would be that enjoyable but I totally enjoyed that.
    To have John Parrott join the scoreboard some 15 minutes into it was hilarious. I agree John Virgo is by far the funniest snooker commentator we've got. And that's not even his funniest stuff. The real fun starts when he has some banter with his co-commentators.
