Hazel Irvine , Steve Davis and John Parrott host further second-round coverage from the Crucible Theatre. Another quarter-final place is secured in tonight's early evening session, leaving five of the final eight still to be decided.
There were some comprehensive victories at this stage in 2002, with Ronnie O'Sullivan , Stephen Lee ,
Stephen Hendry , John Higgins and Matthew Stevens all registering convincing wins over their opponents. Stevens's 13-3 drubbing of Jimmy White was arguably most impressive of all. Mark Williams bowed out to Anthony Hamilton in the shock result of the round, while the eventual champion Peter Ebdon quietly ensured his passage into the fourth quarter-final with a 13-7 win over Joe Perry.

Starting a three-part overview of the dominating role that affluence plays in British people's lives.

Or have modern society's values, coupled with a work-to-spend culture, conspired to produce the opposite effect? In the first programme two well-to-do materialists undergo periods of time without their creature comforts and non-essential items, while three organisations integral to the worldwide anti-consumerism movement are profiled.
