Nick and Phil to reflect on the Shoot Out in Leicester, which culminated in success for Tom Ford as he claimed a first ranking event victory at the age of 41. There's also chat about some of the crowd behaviour that crossed the line during the event.

We take a look at the big stories from the opening days of the Scottish Open in Edinburgh too and catch up with your correspondence. Topics include: the fan experience at the Champion of Champions, Mark Allen's approach at the UK Championship and those unsavoury scenes at the Shoot Out. Plus an appeal from a listener in Spain following devastation caused to a snooker club in Valencia by recent flooding in the country.

We'll return next week to review the climax of the Scottish Open and preview the Saudi invitational event. Keep your snooker thoughts coming to: [email protected]
