A broadcast I wish I didn't have to record. I know so many of you will be greatly saddened by the death of John Virgo at the age of 79. He was such a treasured part of our snooker lives for generations.I hope I've managed to do the tiniest bit of justice here to man who had a snooker CV like no other. Brilliant player, wonderful commentator, born entertainer. Totally irreplaceable.Rest in peace, John. Thank you for the memories.

What a marvellous German Masters final we have to look forward to. Shaun Murphy against Judd Trump. Yes please. I look ahead to the big match here, and look back on semi-final Saturday at the Tempodrom.How I managed to get a 20 for 20 out of this is anyone's guess. Material has rarely been as threadbare. Enjoy the final everyone.
