I think we've all got to watch it and see how it pans out, and then give our verdicts and strong opinions after the final. It deserves to be given a chance. And despite wild's stance on shorter formats, he'll be watching intently so it won't turn off the die hards.

for next season there is no contract to show it.. so if BBC Likes it they might negotiate a different time slot for it.

BBC might find the World Open was a bit long after this years competition and they may want a 5-red bollock-up next year
