A bit later than initially planned but Neil Robertson's linked up with the BBC punditry team at the Crucible this afternoon - and he's there until Friday.

And Catrin's still around on presenting duties amid Seema Jaswal's ongoing absence.

Noticed Slam Media are being credited as co-producers as well (they usually co-produce coverage of the Welsh Open snooker among other things)

Seema was scheduled to host tonight in my dad's newspaper, but it's Rishi Persad with Steve Davis tonight.

Neil Robertson was also in the commentary box for the first time this afternoon. That made me wonder who would have been the new faces if John Virgo and Dennis were made to depart recently as was originally planned? Not too many names jump out as possibilities.
