Perry as well.
I’d absolutely start with Taylor. I’m not sure what he offers other than familiarity. He’s not a particularly engaging or drama-promoting commentator like Virgo.

I forgot about Perry, which says it all really. We give Taylor a lot of stick on here, but he's so much better than people like Studd.

The BBC also have Joe Perry.
But I don't find him to be a particularly engaging commentator.

I mean, he’s ‘better’ in the way that a headache is ‘better’ than toothache

Yes, and having a foot amputated is better than having two feet amputated.

Wait.
IS Dennis better than Studd?
I don’t feel comfortable having so easily agreed with that suggestion.

I'm just saying there are worse things than Dennis. If they got rid of him we'd get a lot more JP for starters.

Since Hendry made his comeback, he is playing non-stop, so he has no time to watch snooker.
