Live coverage continues from the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, as the second semi-final gets underway. Some unexpected players have made it through to the last four of the World Championship in recent years - will the trend continue?
Presented by David Vine.

At an auction selling hundreds of ex-police cars, Quentin Willson reveals that they can make a surprisingly good buy - and they're cheap too. They only come in white, and most have covered globe-spanning mileages, but they are always well looked after and at giveaway prices. Top Gear's used-car guru even finds some bargains in discreet metallics from the plain-clothes branch. Meanwhile, in a deserted airfield, Tiff Needell test-drives a new British sports car, the Noble M10. With a 2.5-litre engine mounted behind the driver, the Noble gives near supercar performance.
