Well, considering it would be minus the beer I would imagine it would be incredibly dull.

Theres a lot of Talk about it excitement but lets be honest it could fall flat on his bottom if the action is all about the men and the women are just making up the numbers at least one needs to perform and make a massive contribution to their team.

Nothing terrible. Just suggested that “the ladies don’t apologise to their partner for missing a pot”, that kind of thing. Sound logic, but it just came across as a bit patronising.
You had to be there.

Yeah, there was a general air of the ‘lady players’ as he called them simply not bucking up too much so the men could score.

Is the playing order fixed or can teams change who plays first for each frame?

Interesting that they are allowed to change the playing order each frame.
Intriguing this! A rare opportunity to watch on a big TV also.
