:00:32. > :00:41.Hello and welcome. Day two of the 2014 world Snooker Championship here

:00:42. > :00:47.at the Crucible theatre in Sheffield. What a great match this

:00:48. > :00:54.evening. The conclusion of the match between Stuart Ingham and Ken

:00:55. > :01:07.Doherty. Ken was really positive and hyped up for this match. It is great

:01:08. > :01:10.to be back. I am very excited. When you come to the end of the season

:01:11. > :01:17.you want to play at the Crucible. As much as I love doing that BBC it is

:01:18. > :01:24.better to be here as a player. Great to be back. I am really excited. I

:01:25. > :01:34.might be the oldest player but mentally -like a teenager. Can't

:01:35. > :01:38.wait. -- I feel like. Have you played the best if you have

:01:39. > :01:44.aspirations of going further stop and have Stuart Bingham. It will be

:01:45. > :01:52.tough. He is a good player. Hopefully I can make it tough for

:01:53. > :01:58.him. There is a pressure on me. Let the pressure be of the rest of the

:01:59. > :02:02.voice. I will play as well as I can. I don't know what will unfold.

:02:03. > :02:11.Luttsy held the ball slide. Do your best. Kent was so happy to be back

:02:12. > :02:20.it in went as far as kissing the carpet on his return. -- Ken. He

:02:21. > :02:26.gave being a tough time in the first session. Stuart got off to a flying

:02:27. > :02:31.start but then can it his way back into that match. Bingham had a

:02:32. > :02:49.slightly overnight. -- slight lead. He did very well yesterday from 3-0

:02:50. > :03:36.down to come back. 91 is the highest break. Kim dimity

:03:37. > :03:43.could have easily led 5-4, believe it or not. Just with a few of his

:03:44. > :03:49.safety shots he was overheating. The tables are very fast. This, Ken

:03:50. > :03:51.would have been delighted to have got out of the session 5-4 when he

:03:52. > :04:10.was 3-0 behind -- yes. The blackspot is pretty crowded.

:04:11. > :04:18.When somebody does eventually get amongst the Bulls it will not be a

:04:19. > :04:29.clear-cut opportunity. That was an excellent shot from Stuart Ingham.

:04:30. > :04:45.-- walls. -- balls. He has some problems. That is the sort of thing

:04:46. > :04:49.he was doing yesterday with his safety shots. He hit that one much

:04:50. > :05:02.too thick. The only saving grace for ten,

:05:03. > :05:10.really, is it will not be an easy break.

:05:11. > :05:25.Is he looking back full boat blue perhaps, there he goes. -- for the.

:05:26. > :05:42.Perhaps the lack spot might be available. If is it will tie the

:05:43. > :06:03.think up. -- pink. It will be very difficult as Steve said chip a

:06:04. > :06:08.sizeable break here. -- to make a. It is a tough early morning start

:06:09. > :06:13.for the players. I remember the great John Spencer in that 1970s,

:06:14. > :06:19.John used to get up at seven o'clock and would be wondering around

:06:20. > :06:24.Sheffield speaking to the odd milkmen here and there, just to warm

:06:25. > :07:03.himself up -- milkmen. -- milkman. Not quite that angle to take the

:07:04. > :07:19.blue. He could do with that Canon onto the pink and lack and reds to

:07:20. > :07:25.open things up. -- a cannon. -- black. Now which of these reds will

:07:26. > :07:31.go into the left corner? It must be tight. I don't think he can get

:07:32. > :07:50.through to that one. Does not look like it from this site. -- side.

:07:51. > :08:01.Hmm. Was not a bad effort but it was always going to be difficult stop he

:08:02. > :08:11.tried to flick that read away. But he had to play the left-hand side to

:08:12. > :08:18.make the voting angle. -- red. Yes, it would have been impossible to

:08:19. > :08:27.have played that left-hand side and also stood up for the blue. --

:08:28. > :08:44.potting angle. When we talk about the left-hand

:08:45. > :08:50.side we can show it. Where you strike the ball, imagine it as

:08:51. > :09:02.so-called face, you are hitting it at nine o'clock. You can create a

:09:03. > :09:10.slight angle. -- clock face. It played those shots. That looked like

:09:11. > :09:14.you're cute action. Yes, it was quite good fun. Some of the slow

:09:15. > :09:28.motion cameras are amazing, what they pick up. -- your cue. Can you

:09:29. > :09:37.stop talking police. Thank you. -- please. I don't think the referee

:09:38. > :09:38.was referring to us, some people in the audience. You don't hear that

:09:39. > :09:49.often. Will he take the risk and try to pop

:09:50. > :09:54.this. No idea where the cueball will finish. No, just a safety. Pretty

:09:55. > :10:10.good one. Certainly the best safety shot off

:10:11. > :10:25.the session so far. Can must get this right. He hit the last one

:10:26. > :10:36.sick. -- Ken. Excellent reply. -- thick.

:10:37. > :10:47.They are very evenly matched. Stuart has been the form player for the

:10:48. > :10:51.last couple of seasons but it is great to see Ken dimity back. They

:10:52. > :10:59.have only played each other once before in the World Championships in

:11:00. > :11:14.2002. Coming into the second session that make this still make Stuart

:11:15. > :11:26.Bingham quite a strong favourite. -- the bookmakers still. Some people

:11:27. > :11:32.might have had a little punt on Ken Doherty.

:11:33. > :11:56.I can't see Stuart making the same mistake again. He just does not want

:11:57. > :12:04.to hit it too thick. He might centred off towards the

:12:05. > :12:30.right conduct pocket. -- send it. It is probably at Chalk Maki is

:12:31. > :12:37.pointing at. -- a chalk mark he is. He has missed it again. He will have

:12:38. > :12:50.two hit it this time, otherwise he will loose the frame. It has

:12:51. > :12:59.happened in the past. -- to. -- lose. It happened last year. A bit

:13:00. > :13:14.of pressure because he must hit its thicker now. He had to sacrifice.

:13:15. > :13:16.Now a chance for Campo achieved. That read goes past the black. That

:13:17. > :13:34.is the shot to play. -- for Ken. Putting this into the left-hand

:13:35. > :13:42.corner pocket, not guaranteed to get a position on the black. --

:13:43. > :14:07.potting. That was much better. Very little

:14:08. > :14:20.chance of sniggering himself on the black. The other red into the other,

:14:21. > :14:30.could have caused a problem. He had to trust a little bit too light and

:14:31. > :14:39.it has not worked out well for him. -- to luck. Yes, he can consider

:14:40. > :14:40.himself unfortunate. He could have expected much better from the type

:14:41. > :15:11.of shot he played. Very nicely played. A bit of

:15:12. > :15:12.pressure on that shot. How disappointing is that after those

:15:13. > :15:27.good shots? He has missed three blacks like that

:15:28. > :15:32.off the spot. You play a really good shot, get yourself in position on

:15:33. > :15:37.the black, you know if you pop the black you will get yourself going,

:15:38. > :15:39.so there is pressure and tension on the black even though it is much

:15:40. > :15:50.easier. -- pot. Positional play from this black will

:15:51. > :16:22.be pretty critical. If the plant is on it makes it much

:16:23. > :16:29.easier. If he can choose when to play that, he may choose to lose

:16:30. > :16:42.red. Try to work out if he can play the plant and runthrough for the

:16:43. > :16:50.black. He has a massive area to play position. Get the blue on the spot.

:16:51. > :16:52.Play the plant and use the blue, should he not be able to get on the

:16:53. > :17:16.black. The plant that you've mentioned

:17:17. > :17:26.seems to be going slightly to the left side of the pocket. He squeezed

:17:27. > :17:35.it that way from the line. He did not make contact as intended. That

:17:36. > :17:39.positional spot on the blue. He had rented manoeuver but he left the

:17:40. > :17:47.white ball far too close to the question, far too much to do to get

:17:48. > :18:11.him a colour. -- which in. Not an easy start here for Ken Doherty.

:18:12. > :18:21.Effectively in this morning session the scores are as close as there

:18:22. > :18:31.could be. Both these players vying to be the first person to get

:18:32. > :18:36.going. -- they could. The first frame is always hugely important.

:18:37. > :18:47.Ken Doherty has another rotten shot to play. I would not like this one.

:18:48. > :19:01.The Brown was not at but he did not expect to finish this close to that

:19:02. > :19:06.cushion -- not bad. I think can Doherty has a great chance in this

:19:07. > :19:11.match because Stuart Bingham looked to be under a little pressure in the

:19:12. > :19:18.first session having let that 3-0 lead slip by. Meanwhile Ken Doherty

:19:19. > :19:34.just played a very poor positional shot. He harried it. -- harried. -

:19:35. > :19:51.hurried. He must make sure he puts that black

:19:52. > :20:11.and lets the white tape care of itself. -- pots. -- take care. He

:20:12. > :20:22.concentrated more on that Canon and putting that read on. -- the cannon.

:20:23. > :20:28.He was committed to making up lost the shot. More mileage left in this

:20:29. > :20:38.frame. Neither player has really settle down. Positional play has

:20:39. > :20:41.been the key. That was up Port shot from Stuart. It is the wrong angle

:20:42. > :21:01.on the black. He could have chosen to get the lot

:21:02. > :21:17.closer to this thread. He fancies himself with the long shot. -- read.

:21:18. > :21:36.-- red. Can he get on the reds from a colour? The blue looks to be

:21:37. > :21:44.ideal. Yes. He had angle to get that left side of them. But both these

:21:45. > :21:56.rates are tough. -- the angle. He can certainly play at this bottom

:21:57. > :22:02.red in such a way that it will screw back that read went as well.

:22:03. > :22:04.Fantastic shot from Stuart Bingham. He now has the most important shot

:22:05. > :22:42.of the frame so far. -- red. I expected Stuart Dew pot lap. They

:22:43. > :22:47.are not easy. -- Stuart to pot that. Golden opportunity for Ken Doherty.

:22:48. > :22:53.All he has to do is continue to keep that what all under control. That is

:22:54. > :23:01.not ideal to start with. He will have two plate at deep screw back

:23:02. > :23:03.without of left-hand side. He is not the best power player in the world.

:23:04. > :23:17.-- play. He seemed to rush that a bit. Two

:23:18. > :23:24.shots in, he is already out of position. He will be very

:23:25. > :23:31.disappointed. That is a bad misjudgement. He is nowhere near the

:23:32. > :23:50.middle pocket. Because of the pacey it. They are both a bit tense in the

:23:51. > :23:53.opening session. -- pace of it. If Ken Doherty could get square that

:23:54. > :24:07.would be a terrific performance. Stuart wants to get to France in

:24:08. > :24:14.front of him. -- two frames. This looks good. It does not matter how

:24:15. > :24:29.skilfully you are when you are sniggered. -- sniggered. That yellow

:24:30. > :24:33.needs to pull up but it does not. -- snookered.

:24:34. > :25:17.He needed a little bit of luck that he did not get it. -- but.

:25:18. > :25:34.Both these players are feeling nervous. To establish players and

:25:35. > :25:46.they have the Crucible collywobbles. -- Two established. Can you believe

:25:47. > :25:57.it? Can looks to the heavens. -- can. -- Ken.

:25:58. > :26:08.Now he needs some good fortune to knock that green say. It never know

:26:09. > :26:16.where it will finish. I think a slow swerve off the top cushion would be

:26:17. > :26:31.the option. It must be more of a full or snooker than it looks on the

:26:32. > :26:37.television. Ms. The trouble with this shot, he does not want to hit

:26:38. > :26:41.the far side of the green. If he hits the far side of the green with

:26:42. > :26:58.any pace he will leave can with the middle of the pocket. -- Ken.

:26:59. > :27:14.Foul. He could give a few points away. Ken Doherty is having a look.

:27:15. > :27:16.He doesn't want to hit it on the other side, otherwise he would leave

:27:17. > :27:58.can Doherty the pot. -- Ken. Fail. -- Foul. He has hit it that

:27:59. > :28:07.bit thicker and left the pot up into the corner. That is the reason why

:28:08. > :28:09.he missed a couple of times there. This is definitely a shot that Ken

:28:10. > :28:25.Doherty is taking on. he hit that a lot better. One shot

:28:26. > :28:41.with the rest. One good shot with the rest. He was a bit tight on

:28:42. > :28:49.that. Got the ball in the pocket but he didn't hit it that well. Now he

:28:50. > :28:54.is far enough away from the blue, thin enough on the blue that getting

:28:55. > :29:00.on the pink is not easy, either. In a hefty hit it down the table, it is

:29:01. > :29:11.that thing. He has tried it. And he has played it well.

:29:12. > :29:22.Absolutely delighted! He had three chances which he let slip away. He

:29:23. > :29:28.has his chances also. Ken Doherty is all square. I've frames each. --

:29:29. > :29:39.five frames each. That is a schoolboy error. After

:29:40. > :29:45.battling away to win the frame, you break off on the blue. He just hit

:29:46. > :30:06.the red too thin. The only good thing about that is

:30:07. > :30:13.that Stuart Bingham, after potting the red is no longer on the blue.

:30:14. > :30:23.Fantastic shot. Really struck that so well. From the side cushion, he

:30:24. > :30:27.has cute that beautifully. He certainly cannot be accused of not

:30:28. > :30:43.playing the positive shots. Trying to get that Lew on the spot

:30:44. > :30:51.again. He has had to hit it. -- blue.

:30:52. > :30:57.He needed the white nearer to the cushion to get the correct angle to

:30:58. > :31:08.get up. You have to call it out here.

:31:09. > :31:13.That is a pretty good effort. If he is hard enough, it will be on a red

:31:14. > :31:15.but it will come up short. What a great effort. An absolutely

:31:16. > :31:34.fantastic strike there. You can't really teach a player to

:31:35. > :31:43.play that type of shot but Stuart played it with natural talent and

:31:44. > :31:48.cue action and timing. Considering the first session, when he had a

:31:49. > :31:51.screw back, there is no easier screw back than that. The black jumped

:31:52. > :32:02.over the top of the ball. I wonder if he had tipped problems. A small

:32:03. > :32:07.problem here. Safety wise, he has to be careful playing the raid on the

:32:08. > :32:09.side cushion. He has to be certain in his own mind that it is not a

:32:10. > :32:37.double kiss. -- tip problems. That is one from Stuart. A good

:32:38. > :32:41.chance from Ken. He played it a bit thinner to try to a fully get

:32:42. > :32:47.another good shot from Ken Doherty. That was very easy to miss. -- to

:32:48. > :33:06.try to avoid it. Ken's cue action looks a fraction

:33:07. > :33:12.hurried. It's understandable. He is feeling the heat out there. There is

:33:13. > :33:18.a transition from the backswing to the hit. He is hurried. That shot

:33:19. > :33:27.was better. The malt all city gets into the back pockets, the more he

:33:28. > :33:31.will feel comfortable. -- the more he gets into the back pockets. That

:33:32. > :33:38.was a poor shot from him, already out of position. He now has to pot a

:33:39. > :33:48.red and go into the main part of the pack.

:33:49. > :34:00.That certainly opened up the reds. It isn't where he intended to be. It

:34:01. > :34:08.is all about a good black. There is pressure and intention on this shot.

:34:09. > :34:14.That can be seen from the positional play. He can't get the weight of the

:34:15. > :34:24.table, he can't get his arm free enough to play the fluent type of

:34:25. > :34:32.snooker that would be easy in practice.

:34:33. > :34:49.It is all about who can get a hold of the match by the drop of his neck

:34:50. > :34:55.and cut out the elementary errors. -- scruff of his neck.

:34:56. > :35:00.For all of the great snooker we see when people are flying on the table,

:35:01. > :35:04.when you see players who are great players struggling to get themselves

:35:05. > :35:13.going, it is fascinating. The tension it can do.

:35:14. > :35:19.Stuart looks a lot freer with his cue action but that first frame

:35:20. > :36:01.highlighted what is at stake. You have to be careful with the red

:36:02. > :36:06.on the left side of the table. A natural safety shot down outside. --

:36:07. > :36:30.that site. A little bit too hard. A chance here

:36:31. > :36:37.for Stuart who is a reliable long-potter. You can see Ken in the

:36:38. > :36:43.background there, peeping around and looking down Stuart's cue action. He

:36:44. > :36:54.knows that Stuart is under the crunch, so to speak.

:36:55. > :37:10.Ten years ahead of Stuart in the success rate for the long pot. Past

:37:11. > :37:54.the pink and red for the middle. Another mistake that. Can this time

:37:55. > :38:05.has an easier red to go out. The previous one was very tight. -- Ken,

:38:06. > :38:20.this time, has an easier red to go at.

:38:21. > :40:01.A good chance now. Ken Doherty looks very focused.

:40:02. > :40:09.Any harder and that would not have dropped. You see it going into the

:40:10. > :40:25.left pocket. It makes the positional shot more difficult.

:40:26. > :40:52.No real problems. Other than making sure you pot the ball here. That is

:40:53. > :40:58.a nice shot. Ken is starting to play his way into this match. He got off

:40:59. > :41:03.to a very poor start, losing the first three frames. He now looks

:41:04. > :41:32.very much like he is going to take the lead.

:41:33. > :42:07.The two loose reds, should he get them, guarantee that Stuart Bingham

:42:08. > :42:11.requires snookers. I don't know whether he can reach around for

:42:12. > :42:31.this. Just about. Just this red needed. APPLAUSE.

:42:32. > :42:55.Now you will see the difference in the body language of the player.

:42:56. > :43:04.Much smoother. Much more control. Much more rhythm and training.

:43:05. > :43:12.Exactly what asset. Like he is over the line in this frame. -- what I

:43:13. > :43:21.said. Stuart Bingham stays in his seat. What around from the darling

:43:22. > :43:25.of Dublin. -5 to Ken Doherty. The difference between these two players

:43:26. > :43:30.and what we noticed on the shop that he played in the last frame that let

:43:31. > :43:37.him in, Ken Doherty is more prepared to be wily as the frames go on while

:43:38. > :43:48.Stuart is more attacking. He goes for big shots. Well, he gets

:43:49. > :43:58.introduced as the darling of Dublin. He has also been called Crafty Ken.

:43:59. > :44:04.He really is. He is crafty around the table. Stuart has been getting

:44:05. > :44:05.some great shots from playing a much more modern, aggressive, attacking

:44:06. > :45:23.game. Not the best on the green bare.

:45:24. > :45:31.Could have done without the stock never really produced his best at

:45:32. > :45:37.the Crucible last year. -- could have done without that. He got to

:45:38. > :45:51.the semifinals last year with his best performance. Put a little quick

:45:52. > :45:59.one in there. Didn't deliver the cue through in a nice, straight-line.

:46:00. > :46:04.What he did do was play a shot which had potential for being safe, should

:46:05. > :46:10.he miss it. That is his wily nature coming out.

:46:11. > :46:26.Excellent shot from Stuart Bingham. It was played with safety in mind.

:46:27. > :46:29.It would have been nice to have been a bit shorter. He could have played

:46:30. > :46:31.the yellow into the middle pocket with some certainty. It is risky

:46:32. > :46:50.now. Easy to get tight bond is yellow.

:46:51. > :46:55.Good shot. -- tight on this yellow. I think that Stuart Bingham has been

:46:56. > :46:58.a different prospect at the World Championships in the past few years.

:46:59. > :47:03.As we know full well in his first round, it is fraught with terror

:47:04. > :47:10.even for the favourites. Perhaps more so for the favourites of the

:47:11. > :47:20.match. If he can just get through that first round, he can start to

:47:21. > :47:22.settle down in the event. A big win in 2011 when he won the Australian

:47:23. > :47:35.Open. After that, he seems to be a

:47:36. > :47:38.different player altogether. He grew in confidence. He certainly lost a

:47:39. > :47:51.little bit of that confidence. He will have to hang in there and

:47:52. > :47:54.play some tactical play did just force came into giving him a good

:47:55. > :48:34.opening. -- just force Ken. He speculated on a double with what

:48:35. > :48:45.looked like complete safety that he has left can with the possibilities

:48:46. > :48:54.of a long shot into the corner. -- left Ken.

:48:55. > :49:04.Look where the red has come. OK, it is not an easy pot but he didn't get

:49:05. > :49:12.anywhere near the pot which he intended the red to go into. It was

:49:13. > :49:22.a free shop here. The black has come back up the table.

:49:23. > :49:30.-- free shot. What a great shot that was to pull

:49:31. > :49:45.out. This black is admissible but he will go for it. -- missable.

:49:46. > :49:54.This match is set up beautifully. Stuart Bingham is more of an

:49:55. > :50:01.opportunist player then Ken Doherty. Ken Doherty has huge experience.

:50:02. > :50:05.Stuart has a lot of hunger as the snooker player. One of the most

:50:06. > :50:09.active in recent years, travelling the globe, forging ahead, enjoying

:50:10. > :50:45.his new-found success in the game. He does not want to be straight,

:50:46. > :50:49.yuck. The match has been going for four hours. He looks to have a

:50:50. > :50:55.slight angle but I am not sure where it will be going. That was a pretty

:50:56. > :51:05.good effort but it was a big ask, even with the cue to try to get the

:51:06. > :51:11.red. Look at the topspin. It was not good at that angle. Amazing how the

:51:12. > :51:16.ball sometimes, when played with that amount of topspin, we never

:51:17. > :51:21.really used to know that it left the table and tell we saw the slow

:51:22. > :51:29.motion shots. He played the shot and nobody knew what happened. -- until.

:51:30. > :51:40.Declared a foul. The White has gone in IT declared the shot to be a foul

:51:41. > :51:46.on himself there. -- gone in but he declared.

:51:47. > :51:57.I don't think that he touched anything. Maybe a fingernail. I

:51:58. > :52:08.thought that he pushed it a bit. That is the first... The first long

:52:09. > :52:13.pocket that Ken have struck nicely. A chance now to go into the pack and

:52:14. > :52:16.open them up. You have to be careful not to lose the white down the table

:52:17. > :52:19.when putting the power into the shot. He has got his head very

:52:20. > :52:29.still. Nicely controlled. Eight.

:52:30. > :52:48.Every chance now, if we can. This would be four frames in a row

:52:49. > :52:49.if he can take it. That would really give Stuart Bingham a lot to think

:52:50. > :53:08.about. He will have to go to the other red.

:53:09. > :53:14.It will open a few more. It was not the way in ten did but he could

:53:15. > :53:28.improve it to his advantage. -- intended. He is in with a terrific

:53:29. > :53:48.chance here. Another ball roll and it would have been perfect. Made

:53:49. > :53:54.light work of the pink. When a player senses that he is on the

:53:55. > :54:02.brink of forging an advantage in the match, he has to be careful to stay

:54:03. > :54:10.relaxed and calm. He has to be fired up enough with the adrenaline to

:54:11. > :54:15.produce the snooker. He is getting to the stage where he is beginning

:54:16. > :54:42.to believe much more in himself then he did a couple of frames ago.

:54:43. > :55:21.I just noticed that he has given himself a bit more time now in the

:55:22. > :55:26.shot. Sometimes it is one or two seconds but it stops you from

:55:27. > :55:30.rushing in and making a careless mistake.

:55:31. > :55:39.38. He has sped up his walk around the

:55:40. > :55:47.table but fractionally showdown is cue action. That is the correct way

:55:48. > :55:59.to be. -- slowed down. Ken is 21 seconds, one second ahead

:56:00. > :56:01.of Stuart Bingham. There is a chance here to make it four frames in a

:56:02. > :56:31.row. APPLAUSE. He looks as though he is playing the

:56:32. > :56:40.cannon so those heads are not available. He played that shot well.

:56:41. > :56:49.He knew that he was one for the middle at least. 53.

:56:50. > :56:57.He was hoping to be on the red in the left middle pocket but the

:56:58. > :57:09.cannon just didn't work out. It should not be a problem, this.

:57:10. > :57:22.Another red required and he has gone out of position. APPLAUSE.

:57:23. > :57:31.Effectively, he needs to pot the blue to win the frame. It is not an

:57:32. > :57:37.in-off but it needs good viewing. It will come off the cushion behind the

:57:38. > :57:40.black, the white, and goes off the middle pocket. That is why he has

:57:41. > :57:45.given himself more time. He knows this.

:57:46. > :57:56.APPLAUSE. Well played. 59. The difference is

:57:57. > :58:26.40. Just this red required. Absolutely sure, but... Can't

:58:27. > :58:53.believe that. You would have thought with the red

:58:54. > :58:58.over the pocket he was almost guaranteed to get an easy positional

:58:59. > :59:09.shot after it to clinch the frame. Perhaps he thought the first blue,

:59:10. > :59:10.he had done the hard work. Finishing on that right side cushion made it

:59:11. > :59:29.awkward. He will have those put back. We know

:59:30. > :59:34.the brand was on its spot. He has to get the blue right antecubital

:59:35. > :59:46.right. He may need help from the monocle. The blue definitely would

:59:47. > :59:56.not pot -- monitor. It's not too bad.

:59:57. > :00:06.That blue at the moment a bit of insurance for Ken Doherty. This is a

:00:07. > :00:34.great escape from Ken Doherty hair. -- here.

:00:35. > :00:53.Ferry could effort from Stuart Bingham that. -- varied. -- Very. --

:00:54. > :01:06.there. Stuart refuses. Does not refuse many

:01:07. > :01:23.of these. Usually very reliable on them. But up bit of pressure on this

:01:24. > :01:24.shot. -- a. Fantastic shot. Unlucky. Hit that as well as he could have

:01:25. > :01:36.hoped. It will be a pretty relieved Ken

:01:37. > :01:43.Doherty, I can tell you, after he missed that blue and was snookered.

:01:44. > :01:47.It was not looking all that could for the Dubliner, but it is now. --

:01:48. > :02:09.good. Dolly is the red into the pocket. --

:02:10. > :02:20.Dollies. Credit to Cannes for this performance. It means so much to

:02:21. > :02:23.him. -- Ken. He has put so much practice in. It seems to be paying

:02:24. > :03:10.off. He was 5-3 behind. Ken Doherty has

:03:11. > :03:34.won four frames in a row. He now holds a 2-friendly. -- 2-frame.

:03:35. > :03:51.This is a massive shot. Once again, continuing to be very aggressive. He

:03:52. > :04:00.got away with it. He has not left anything. That is amazing.

:04:01. > :04:11.I think it is tough when you are out there not to panic and start to just

:04:12. > :04:17.want to get a ball in the pocket. Sometimes you need a little more

:04:18. > :04:24.restraint. But it is a very fine line. The plant was on. Stuart

:04:25. > :04:36.fancied it. So why not go for it? Port safety shot from Ken Doherty.

:04:37. > :04:50.Trying to create an angle but he missed it. Suddenly, signs that Ken

:04:51. > :04:54.Doherty is getting the upper hand. Stuart got away with the previous

:04:55. > :04:58.shot when he left everything safe. He needs to get to the interval to

:04:59. > :05:11.regroup. But what will the school beat. -- what will the school be?

:05:12. > :05:19.Ken Doherty knows the significance. -- score. He can really put the

:05:20. > :05:21.screws on. This is the equivalent of a boxer having the other guy on the

:05:22. > :05:38.ropes. He needs to do more damage before

:05:39. > :05:49.the bell rings. He did not play that very well. He was relying on a

:05:50. > :05:57.cannon. It is all about keeping close control of that few all. Yes,

:05:58. > :06:05.he did not get nicely on the blue from the first red.

:06:06. > :06:34.He went cannon the red. He will just slip past the red. -- won't.

:06:35. > :06:44.He is coming around to have a look at the black.

:06:45. > :07:03.Ten has quite a loose group with his backhand. Not a bad thing under

:07:04. > :07:33.pressure. -- Ken. There are two players in their game

:07:34. > :07:39.with the same grip. -- I don't think there are. A lot of unusual groups

:07:40. > :07:46.at top-class level. Obviously if you grip the cute tightly there will be

:07:47. > :08:03.tension in the forum. So it is not a bad thing to not be gripping to

:08:04. > :08:06.tight. -- Forum. - forearm. Perhaps you grip more with that some or the

:08:07. > :08:53.first finger. Perhaps less. This will be filed frames in a row

:08:54. > :08:58.if he can take this. -- five. OK, he has had some help from his opponent,

:08:59. > :09:11.but you still have to do it. Stuart has not relaxed this morning.

:09:12. > :09:22.Short of pace there. By quite some way. He has the upper hand in this

:09:23. > :09:27.frame. He should be when he is in this position he will convert the

:09:28. > :09:37.frame. He does not make many tactical mistakes. He did not

:09:38. > :09:43.attempt to block that. That was a safety shot. The previous positional

:09:44. > :09:47.shot he seemed to stun it rather than put topspin. That is how he

:09:48. > :09:56.snookered himself. Nice shot. Wasn't easy to cover the

:09:57. > :10:19.reds. He would be very happy that. Can't

:10:20. > :10:32.argue with hitting the ball the length of the table that accurately.

:10:33. > :10:42.Stuart did not want to collide with the bump. It will be tough to force

:10:43. > :10:49.an error from Ken now. This, he is so knowledgeable.

:10:50. > :11:00.-- yes. He needed a little bit more pace on that. Having said that, they

:11:01. > :11:08.can earn on the pink has put Stuart in all sorts of trouble.

:11:09. > :11:26.Good shot. Clever shot. Obviously the routes that were all on the top

:11:27. > :11:33.cushion were going to stay there with

:11:34. > :12:27.Safety. -- with safety. There is a chance for Stuart here.

:12:28. > :12:50.That was a poor effort from Ken but he got away with it.

:12:51. > :13:07.He wanted to get behind the brown. He is a bit short of pace.

:13:08. > :13:36.Good, confident long pot. He is looking at the black. If he drops it

:13:37. > :13:38.in here will finish over the red on the right side of the table. Nicely

:13:39. > :13:55.played. 37 ahead. He wanted a slight angle

:13:56. > :14:04.on this thread that it looks fairly straight. -- red.

:14:05. > :14:17.They see pot to red and scrip back for the blue? It is not ideal for

:14:18. > :14:30.the black stop -- C. He got the wrong side of the black. -- Does he.

:14:31. > :14:35.But he is still in letting points. Pop the black, play a decent safety

:14:36. > :14:43.shot. He does not even need to pop the black. In hindsight, looking at

:14:44. > :14:50.the situation, you would not have put round safe there. It would not

:14:51. > :15:03.have been a bad choice because he has no insurance. Clement fantastic

:15:04. > :15:27.shot. -- fantastic. But still all footballs are out in

:15:28. > :15:32.the open. -- the balls. Some top players would have put the ball is

:15:33. > :15:39.safe. Has a great chance to get behind the yellow.

:15:40. > :15:51.He hit it too thick. That is a bad shot from Ken. He has got it safe.

:15:52. > :15:53.He is annoyed with himself. He knew he could have had Stuart in all

:15:54. > :16:14.sorts of trouble there. The cue ball needs to pull up. Wow.

:16:15. > :16:26.Stuart was convinced it was going in-off. That would not be allowed.

:16:27. > :16:44.You can't do that. You can try but you can away with it. -- you won't.

:16:45. > :16:53.Ashe get away with it. -- get. It makes it very awkward cueing with a

:16:54. > :17:01.white so close to the pocket. This could be a free ball.

:17:02. > :17:23.It Dunne it is not at free ball. No damage done. It has just cost Ken

:17:24. > :17:38.four points. -- it is not. He forgot what could it was in. How is that

:17:39. > :17:47.customer -- that? That is why they call him the darling of Dublin.

:17:48. > :17:54.That is not what better but it was a difficult shot and he will leave an

:17:55. > :17:59.opportunity for Stuart. I don't know if this route goes past the black.

:18:00. > :18:01.That's the one he wants to take because the black is out of

:18:02. > :18:09.commission at the moment. -- this red. Can he pop that? He could pop

:18:10. > :18:25.out and play at deep screw for the blue. -- pot. -- a deep. Stuart is

:18:26. > :18:32.really suffering at the moment. Ken Pisi jump on chance because he knows

:18:33. > :18:38.he can go to the interval with bigger lead. Stuart has been left

:18:39. > :18:45.with a lot of automatic shots. If you don't get the right, you feel

:18:46. > :18:48.like you have panicked. He has faced a lot of difficult decisions this

:18:49. > :19:36.morning This looks pretty good. Barring that

:19:37. > :19:47.snooker, Ken Doherty has won five frames in a row.

:19:48. > :19:56.Safety. Good session for Ken Doherty. He has taken all four

:19:57. > :20:06.frames and he must be absolutely delighted. He needs Stuart Ring

:20:07. > :20:15.eight frames to five. -- leads Stuart Bingham.

:20:16. > :20:44.Look at the difference in his percentage. That is the story of why

:20:45. > :20:52.he has won five frames in a row. Stuart did not settle in the first

:20:53. > :21:00.four frames. At keyframe coming up. He must take this.

:21:01. > :22:13.When you think back to Ken, it is 2006 since he got past the first

:22:14. > :22:26.round. Missed out at GE is in the final qualifying round. Last year he

:22:27. > :22:40.lost 10-9. -- a few times. He kissed the carpet. He keeps bouncing back.

:22:41. > :22:45.Can knock it is our class act. -- is a.

:22:46. > :23:00.Has he got that gap? Pink and black, I think, which is a bonus. Routes to

:23:01. > :23:08.the right of the black are causing problems for continuation of the

:23:09. > :23:14.black. -- those two reds. Once it was the right hand red it clears the

:23:15. > :23:23.path of the other red and the black completely.

:23:24. > :23:36.He is not really on it. Out much sooner cut than he would have liked.

:23:37. > :23:51.But I would expect him to get it, to be quite honest.

:23:52. > :24:13.That red that Steve mentioned, it is not easy to get onto that rate. --

:24:14. > :24:25.red. That is not the best shot he has

:24:26. > :24:31.ever played. Yes, but he has kept on to red. It could have been a bit

:24:32. > :24:46.closer to the pink. He has given himself a chance to pot it. Yes, the

:24:47. > :24:58.red passes the black. That is a different story completely. He kept

:24:59. > :25:04.that to yourself. The overhead camera looked like it would not,

:25:05. > :25:15.that we clearly showed you it could. -- but we clearly.

:25:16. > :25:33.The pink was not touching the red. Yes, he needed the pink to descend

:25:34. > :25:51.into the Ritz. He did not want to risk eating it too hard. -- heating.

:25:52. > :26:05.-- into the reds. -- heating. This is very difficult for Stuart. --

:26:06. > :26:10.hitting. He is a great player and is being asked at big question this

:26:11. > :26:15.morning. It is tough being the favourite in a match. He would not

:26:16. > :26:24.have been the favourite of a few years ago against Ken Doherty. He

:26:25. > :26:34.knew he hit it too thin. The cue went up in the air. There is at

:26:35. > :26:44.chance for Ken Doherty. One could shut and he is right in amongst

:26:45. > :26:47.them. He led for the pink. But he is OK, he is on the black. -- he

:26:48. > :27:02.played. It is all about whether Ken can now

:27:03. > :27:06.hold himself together because this is the sort of position he has not

:27:07. > :27:13.been in for a long time. He is right back with a big voice. He feels he

:27:14. > :27:15.can still compete. This will be a weak frame for him, but he still

:27:16. > :27:38.needs to frames. -- two. He would be varied keen to make a

:27:39. > :27:46.telling break. -- very. He has more of this broken the back of the

:27:47. > :27:55.match. Not planning players come back from 9-5. -- not many. The lot

:27:56. > :27:56.of pressure building up on Ken Doherty to get this frame in the

:27:57. > :28:25.bag. Nicely screwed back for the other

:28:26. > :28:34.reds in the middle of the pack. Just channelled through for the black.

:28:35. > :28:40.There really isn't any reason why he shouldn't win in this visit. Other

:28:41. > :28:46.than the tension which is going to build-up. It is down to Ken Fidelity

:28:47. > :28:51.to make sure that his positional play is so strong that he does not

:28:52. > :29:06.give himself a difficult shot to myths. -- to miss.

:29:07. > :29:20.They have played each other on eight occasions. It is four each. Stuart

:29:21. > :29:26.has been getting the better. The big one was the World Championship where

:29:27. > :29:30.they had met once before in 2002. Ken Doherty was the winner 10-8

:29:31. > :30:14.frames. This is quite remarkable, really. It

:30:15. > :30:15.will be six frames in a row if he takes this and he is already 57 in

:30:16. > :30:40.front. Ken looks pretty composed. Inside,

:30:41. > :30:44.he would be quite tense but he has that three frame advantage. Very

:30:45. > :31:00.soon, it will be four. 37.

:31:01. > :31:06.He only leads the black to leave Stuart needing a snooker. The most

:31:07. > :31:25.important part is to knock the black.

:31:26. > :32:01.You are safe in this square. Think to make absolutely certain. -- pink.

:32:02. > :32:04.The thing is, he is doing it in style. He is winning the frame with

:32:05. > :32:27.this visit. He has missed the red but Stuart is

:32:28. > :32:33.going to stay in his seat. What a number this has been. Ken Doherty

:32:34. > :32:39.has taken another frame. He needs just one more frame to get through

:32:40. > :32:45.to the next round. Quite remarkable. From 3-0 down, the darling of Dublin

:32:46. > :32:47.has battled to winning six frames in a row. Quite remarkable against

:32:48. > :33:02.someone like Stuart Bingham. But it is never over until it is

:33:03. > :33:11.over, as they say. Stuart Bingham has got to win five frames in a

:33:12. > :33:21.row. You have to start thinking to yourself that my opponent has won

:33:22. > :33:27.six in a row. Why can't I do it? That is a little indication that

:33:28. > :33:36.that he really is under. He hit that on the wrong side completely. Such a

:33:37. > :33:44.good long Potter but let us have a look at this one. Stuart Bingham is

:33:45. > :33:53.one of the nicest fellows you could ever meet but he is under the kosh

:33:54. > :34:29.at the moment. This will open things up. Where is

:34:30. > :34:36.that red going? He has fluked it. He hasn't. He has covered it but I am

:34:37. > :34:45.sure that can can find a red to plan to the one that is over the pocket.

:34:46. > :34:50.OK, the reds and blacks are out of commission somewhat. We will get the

:34:51. > :35:00.cue ball and go on to the blue if he can get the plants. -- red to plant.

:35:01. > :35:05.-- get the plant. I'm pretty certain that he will plant the red. I

:35:06. > :35:11.thought that one red on to the other was more guaranteed to get position.

:35:12. > :35:17.I suppose that this has made certain of the raid. He had to do that. I

:35:18. > :35:24.think that he can cut this black in. -- make sure of the red. Has the

:35:25. > :35:31.advantage. He will take it on. If this goes in, he will have the

:35:32. > :35:43.chance. It is not an easy black but if he fancies it,

:35:44. > :35:48.The black will only be available in one pocket if it is spotted. He is

:35:49. > :36:01.certainly growing in confidence. The blue is not easy to get on from

:36:02. > :36:09.the red in the right-hand corner. He has another one in the left corner.

:36:10. > :36:20.Back up at 90%. That is good overall, considering that he was in

:36:21. > :36:26.the low 80 s earlier in the match. Ideally, he wants to stay in the top

:36:27. > :36:31.part of the table. He has the other colours if he needs to. That has not

:36:32. > :36:36.come out nicely. That would have been the first to go down for a ball

:36:37. > :36:41.colour they are. And he is hampered slightly now. Pink could go slightly

:36:42. > :37:00.now. It is a little bit awkward. What a chance that was. Just that

:37:01. > :37:07.little flick on the raid which him hampered. Otherwise he was in

:37:08. > :37:12.amongst them. -- on the red. What a test for Stuart Bingham. He has sat

:37:13. > :37:20.in his seat for most of this session. Let's see if he can string

:37:21. > :37:29.a few together. He needs something to happen.

:37:30. > :37:57.He looks to have a problem on the red to the right of the black.

:37:58. > :38:11.This is not good. Or is it? It looks like he could lay on those two.

:38:12. > :38:15.That is an awful long way back for Stuart Bingham. This could be the

:38:16. > :39:26.start of the comeback. That will do nicely. That is not a

:39:27. > :40:03.straightforward chance, the way the reds are situated.

:40:04. > :40:12.Can on that red is a lot nicer than Stuart was. -- Ken. He can open the

:40:13. > :40:17.black up here and get the reds into play. Still some work to do to win

:40:18. > :41:03.the frame. Ken, as we learned earlier, is the

:41:04. > :41:07.oldest player in this year's World Championship at 44. Alan McManus is

:41:08. > :41:34.starting to roll back the years as well at the age of 43.

:41:35. > :41:40.match. Some of those reds are close. On the left, goes past of the yellow

:41:41. > :41:47.into the pocket and maybe the other as well. One of these goes into the

:41:48. > :41:57.corner pocket. That is a critical part of this break. How and when to

:41:58. > :42:11.go about trying to get on those? Reds. -- those two reds.

:42:12. > :42:16.If he can get nicely on that red, he could play the cannon onto those two

:42:17. > :42:21.rates. He doesn't have to go about it. If he could pot this off the

:42:22. > :42:30.cushion and bring them both into play, that might be his plane here.

:42:31. > :42:42.-- two reds. -- his plan here. Ideal shot.

:42:43. > :42:54.If he pots does open reds, he is not high and dry. He neither what -- in

:42:55. > :43:00.its another one here. Even if he potted the two reds and didn't get

:43:01. > :43:13.the third, he would be in an advantageous position. -- he needs

:43:14. > :43:18.another one. If he gets to reds and dropped

:43:19. > :43:24.another one into the pocket, that would be enough to clinch it for

:43:25. > :43:33.him. He will be well aware about crafty Ken. -- two reds.

:43:34. > :43:37.He does not want to be playing for this difficult one just yet so the

:43:38. > :43:43.black for that red near the middle and hopefully drop this one near the

:43:44. > :43:48.black. It is easier when your opponent is not really firing on all

:43:49. > :43:53.cylinders to look good around the table but at this match has grown,

:43:54. > :43:55.Ken has looked better and better, more assured and much more

:43:56. > :44:08.competitive. It has been a tough session. At

:44:09. > :44:11.being, that is for certain. He has looked good in terms of queueing but

:44:12. > :44:17.has not been able to get the points on the board. -- a tough session for

:44:18. > :44:25.Stuart Bingham. He looked at the red. He has to look at the right

:44:26. > :44:36.side of the table. That is quite a bit of risk. He may not bother with

:44:37. > :44:42.that. He wants to get as close as possible to the circle. It would be

:44:43. > :44:46.ideal to get the white into that circle and roll the raid along. He

:44:47. > :44:57.might be able to do that on the pink. Let's see how close he can get

:44:58. > :45:01.from this angle. APPLAUSE. It's all about the shot now. What

:45:02. > :45:06.does he do? Roll it along the cushion? What we have seen this

:45:07. > :45:11.year, the balls are happy going along the top cushion and dropping

:45:12. > :45:24.in. I think that if he plays the dead weight, he gets it. It clings

:45:25. > :45:33.and goes in. No. No. Oh, yes! It's in. When they hit the cushion, it

:45:34. > :45:38.normally does not do win. It hesitated and then gravity took

:45:39. > :45:46.over. Buckets. In my opinion, that is a little bit too generous for a

:45:47. > :45:51.World Championship table. They are new costs and they tend to go in a

:45:52. > :45:57.little easier. That type of shot would probably stay there. -- new

:45:58. > :46:02.cloths. Stuart Bingham is carrying on but

:46:03. > :46:07.what a performance from the crafty Ken Doherty. He takes the match 10-

:46:08. > :46:18.five. 48 is the difference. Just 35

:46:19. > :46:33.remaining on the table. I think that it is a foregone

:46:34. > :46:39.conclusion but Stuart is carrying on. It has been the disappointing

:46:40. > :46:46.session for Stuart. He has not performed and taking nothing away

:46:47. > :46:50.from Ken's performance. He alluded in the opening frame that Stuart

:46:51. > :47:07.could have opened up to advantage. It has been all Ken Doherty.

:47:08. > :47:19.Foul. You left of the green ball. It felt guilty when that red went into

:47:20. > :47:26.the top cushion. Ken is probably still feeling OK. Stuart is more or

:47:27. > :47:36.less obligated to have an attempt at a pot here. 44 points behind. He is

:47:37. > :47:42.unlikely to get many occasion to get foul points from Ken. Is he lining

:47:43. > :47:47.up a double? I don't know. I don't see the value in playing safe. He

:47:48. > :48:00.needs three Snooker is at the moment. -- three snookers.

:48:01. > :48:06.The double turned into a travel. -- a treble.

:48:07. > :48:15.He played it in such a way that he gave himself a chance with the

:48:16. > :48:22.treble, as well. He really must pot this is brown. All of a sudden, from

:48:23. > :48:27.needing four snookers, he can tie with one. Can you believe it? Can he

:48:28. > :48:36.roll it up? I don't think he can roll it up. He has played then. It

:48:37. > :48:40.just hasn't got it. It could have been a beautiful Snooker.

:48:41. > :48:54.Fractionally too thick on the raid. Too keen on that red -- red.

:48:55. > :49:08.He is now going to put himself through it. He was virtually into

:49:09. > :49:14.the second round and all of a sudden just one Snooker was needed. This

:49:15. > :49:23.one has Stuart and will stick this one up, I think. Maybe not. Ken will

:49:24. > :49:25.finish it. If the red does not pass the pink, he will play in the

:49:26. > :49:34.Snooker. If it passes the pink, the pink, he will play in the

:49:35. > :49:38.He's having a look from both sides. It flies in. He is just getting it.

:49:39. > :49:56.He is not playing it. Doesn't have to play. It was not a

:49:57. > :50:12.good attempt at a Snooker. He has left Stuart avenues to get out.

:50:13. > :50:16.Thick and slow is the order of the day. Make sure you don't go into the

:50:17. > :50:37.top pocket, of course. Just put the red over the pocket.

:50:38. > :50:42.Very tough for Snooker players. Tough to get a ball from the jaws of

:50:43. > :50:50.a pocket. Good effort from Stuart Bingham. Not good enough.

:50:51. > :50:56.He may have to bring in the green into play here. He doesn't want to

:50:57. > :51:05.do that but he can only see the right-hand side of the raid. -- red.

:51:06. > :51:14.The reason he swerved so that he didn't bring the green into play...

:51:15. > :51:31.He needs to avoid the double kiss, here. Once again, very good effort.

:51:32. > :51:34.Not too sure he would be able to swerve that one if he is snookered.

:51:35. > :51:54.A fact. -- perfect. That it is out of

:51:55. > :52:01.commission now as well. Ken is popping his cheeks. That has helped

:52:02. > :52:13.Ken in as much as the blue is quite an important all when snookering

:52:14. > :52:19.your opponent on a full consignment of colours and one red. You can't

:52:20. > :52:23.use it on the diagonal. The ideal position, the ball for Snooker

:52:24. > :52:31.ring, is the black in this situation. -- snookering. Players

:52:32. > :52:37.are usually aware of making certain that their opponents don't get an

:52:38. > :52:49.easy opportunity for that. Ken has a chance to get behind the black year.

:52:50. > :52:53.This is a great shot. -- black here. When your opponent needs one Snooker

:52:54. > :52:59.to tie, that is the best thing that you can do. Snooker him. Stuart

:53:00. > :53:02.Bingham may be staring his last shot in the face here at the Crucible

:53:03. > :53:12.this year unless he hits it. Perhaps not his last shot even if he

:53:13. > :53:28.misses it. He will get another go. Ken would be feeling a lot better

:53:29. > :54:19.now. Stuart's job gets harder. The trouble is for Stuart Bingham,

:54:20. > :54:27.is that he is straight to get a really good Snooker, when it is hard

:54:28. > :54:36.enough getting a Snooker but stopping quality players from

:54:37. > :54:48.getting out of them easily is hard. He is in a nice position now. You

:54:49. > :54:52.want them closer to a cushion. It is not easy with the red situated

:54:53. > :54:59.behind the pink but it is better now. Stuart also has to keep the red

:55:00. > :55:03.say. He doesn't just have to try to get the Snooker sometimes. It is all

:55:04. > :56:16.about keeping the ball safe and waiting for another chance.

:56:17. > :56:33.The winner of this match will play the winner of the all Scottish duel.

:56:34. > :56:40.McManus had a fine win against Mark Williams in the last qualifying

:56:41. > :56:52.round in Sheffield just before this event. A lot of people are saying

:56:53. > :56:56.that the John Higgins -McManus match will be a classic, not as one-sided

:56:57. > :57:05.as it would have once been considered a few years ago. McManus

:57:06. > :57:08.is playing some superb stuff. Meanwhile, Ken Doherty is looking

:57:09. > :57:20.for this long pot into the right corner. To secure victory here.

:57:21. > :57:27.Didn't get anywhere close to that. He still should be feeling pretty

:57:28. > :57:33.comfortable and be absolutely delighted with himself but for

:57:34. > :57:41.Snooker is needed became one and now it is back to two. -- four snookers

:57:42. > :57:50.needed. This red is heading towards the corner pocket. This could be the

:57:51. > :57:58.end for Stuart Bingham. Stuart was the firm favourite for this match.

:57:59. > :58:01.Ken didn't know that he was there. It is unbelievable to see that

:58:02. > :58:08.happen. Well done Stuart Bingham and well done to Ken Doherty. He has

:58:09. > :58:16.rolled back the years. The Darling of Dublin. He will be over the moon.

:58:17. > :58:22.He won all seven frames to defeat Stuart Bingham ten frames to five.

:58:23. > :58:27.Great to see him into the second round. The first time he has been

:58:28. > :58:43.there since 2006. More action from the Crucible Theatre later today. We

:58:44. > :59:05.will see them now, goodbye. -- see you then. For now, goodbye.

:59:06. > :59:08.Ted, I... I'm not interested in coming to see Lady Gaga, sir.
