She is, and to those saying it doesnt make any difference... well it does, would you rather have a clueless one like Jill Douglas presenting? Certainly not me.

Very happy she's back for BBC.

I'd still take Jill over the Eurosport two, or even Jason Mohammed for that matter. Remember Jason's painful coffee banter at the worlds?

I don't remember.

Sounds like something I shouldn't be upset about.

Disagree.

There is an art to hosting the show, which I think gets lost on people. Though you're not there to be a pundit, you are there to steer the pundit's conversation and to bring knowledge out of them that you believe the audience at home would be interested in. Hazel is better at it than a lot of other people who try it. Her absence has been noticed. She was missed. I know the BBC gets a lot of criticism on here, but I don't think Hazel is one that deserves it.

Also, I'm not sure there are many problems in life for which bringing in Darren Morgan is the solution.

Whilst I appreciate there is an element of the viewership that like to look at Seema and Hazel, I personally think, of the three, Jason Mohammad is the best snooker presenter. He really knows his subject and seems to get on well with the rest of the team. Hazel is a bit of a "yes girl" and just bows to the BBC bosses every whim, taking care to throw in references to the BBC Triple Crown at every opportunity.

Jason Mohammed knows snooker but he’s way too irritating.

I see Jason as a safe pair of hands, to be fair. Seema drops too many howlers for me, like when she announced that Neil Robertson had made 73 MAXIMUM BREAKS already this season!

Ehh, Seema’s learning. She makes mistakes but she’s already better than Jill.

Hazel’s the gold standard.

I dispute the first part, but not the second.
