Nick and Phil look ahead to the biggest tournament in the sport, the World Championship in Sheffield.

Before they get stuck into the 17 days to come, there's a review of qualifying, including another couple of highly dramatic Judgement Days, with the biggest story seeing the exit of Neil Robertson.

We then bring you the World Championship draw and preview every first round match to come.

There's also the latest on the topic that's been dominating the build-up, the future of the Crucible as the venue for the event.

Enjoy the World Championship everyone. We'll be back after the first round stage. Keep your thoughts coming to us throughout the tournament - tweet us @TalkingSnooker or email [email protected]
