Steve Davis and John Parrott join presenter Ray Stubbs at the Wembley Conference Centre to set the scene for the first, best-of-11-frames semi-final in this year's Masters.
The champion for the last two years, Yorkshire's
Paul Hunter , had the better of a tense 6-5 encounter with Scotland's Alan McManus in last year's corresponding match, while 2002's defeated finalist, Welshman
Mark Williams , held off a comeback from London veteran Jimmy White in a nail-biting tie that produced the same scoreline.
Competition from the likes of "Rocket"
Ronnie O'Sullivan , world champion Peter Ebdon , world number one Williams and in-form world number two
Stephen Hendry cannot be underestimated - but if he does reach this stage, can Hunter go on to become the first player since Hendry to win the title three years in succession?

Last December's "Cheriegate" affair did little to abate the rampant public cynicism reserved for politicians - a mistrust evidenced in the turnout at the 2001 general election, which was the lowest for more than 80 years. In this documentary, Michael Cockerell talks to figures including Edwina Currie , Max Clifford , Geoffrey Robinson and Neil Hamilton in an effort to see if spin, sleaze and ministerial failure is to blame, or whether the media's sneering political coverage is most at fault.
