He may not like the overhyping of Littler, but on a personal level, I don't think Humphries will mind Littler being labelled favourite tbf!

-Polly James, in her pre-match interview with Ricky Evans and in regards to potentially getting a win over Daryl Gurney and advancing in the tournament, says "last 16s, that's what dreams are made of!" Not sure who has dreams about only making the last 16 of a tournament but there you go.
- After the 1st Set of the Gurney/Evans match the interval music doesn't play, The Players know its a break the camera following Gurney who throws a 12
- Daryl Gurney tries his patented flop dart and hits the single 5 not once but twice

- Glen Durrant saying "Shabba" What was that all about?
