I hope I'm on the end of the microphone when Stephen wins the World Championship, but it's my bet hell be a millionaire first.
TED LOWE
This film, produced over a six-month period, gives an intriguing insight into how snooker's brightest prospect copes with the pressures of 'doing the business' in a big-money sport. Already this season Stephen has won an incredible five competitions, and at the age of 18 is the youngest winner of a major ranking tournament.
For the teenage prodigy who has everything, the challenge is to achieve the twin aims of fulfilling his potential and of projecting a personality that will attract prestige sponsors. The programme reflects all the humour and tensions behind the scenes as the brilliant young Scot bids to convert promise into achievement.
Just pure brilliance - I enjoy his game all the time
