To be fair neither of them were 16 - allegedly, Mrs. Catcher doesn't believe a word of that!
Anywaysanall, it was some return from finishing 2nd in his first World Championship. Technically, I guess that was the first leg he played live on British TV... 'cos ITV moved Thursday's (day one) play to ITVX to accommodate such time critical programmes as Heartbeat on ITV3! However, it was live on German TV (DAZN 2) which I watched via my IPTV subscription. It was a bit like watching the racing on TG4 as coverage switched from German to English at will. Needless to say the lovely Emma Paton made no attempt to converse in German.... she remembers who won the war!
I'll not mention who won outright as it's being replayed on ITV4 as I type... well worth a watch though!
