Season 1, Ep. 10

Jennie and Chloe chat about two new events on the Snooker Calendar - the Xi'an Grand Prix and the "Saudi Arabia Masters" - bemoaning how terrible Matchroom is as a streaming platform and how disappointing it is to see WST participate in very obvious sportswashing. Then, they cheer themselves up with a trip to the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom.

  • 13. Snooker Hall of Horror I

    47:11||Season 1, Ep. 13
    Jennie and Chloe talk briefly about the recent Northern Ireland Open and bemoan yet more bizarre scheduling decisions by WST, then get into a fantastically frightening Free Ball where they cast the horror movie to end all horror movies with their favourite (and less favourite) snooker players!

  • 12. Wonderful Wuhan and Desert Island Dingbats

    01:00:03||Season 1, Ep. 12
    Chloe and Jennie reflect on the Wuhan Open (what they saw of it) and have a trademark moan about the WST calendar and its seeming lack of clarity and direction. Then, they lament over Lisowski and ramble about Ronnie, before heading off to a desert island to... relax?

  • 11. Crimes Against Snooker

    01:09:01||Season 1, Ep. 11
    Jennie and Chloe discuss the highs and lows of the British & English Opens, then send most of the Top 16 to prison for crimes they could theoretically commit, but definitely haven't. Please don't sue us.

  • 9. Shanghai Pic 'n' Mix

    01:03:40||Season 1, Ep. 9
    The snooker season has officially begun, so it's time to celebrate with some proper snooker chat. Chloe and Jennie look back at an excellent week in Shanghai before despairing, yet again, at the terrible WST calendar decisions. Things then turn much sweeter as each Top 16 player gets assigned their official pic 'n' mix sweet.

  • 8. Snooker Sponsorship? It's all Greek (or Norse) to us...

    57:32||Season 1, Ep. 8
    With more WST sponsors being announced, Jennie and Chloe have a wee ramble about the sponsors they'd love to see on the tour and get geared up for the first proper tournament of the season. The Free Ball takes them into heavenly territory to create a pantheon of gods from the Top 16.

  • 7. Where, oh where has WST gone?

    01:08:18||Season 1, Ep. 7
    Jennie and Chloe do some more rambling through Q School now that the new qualifiers have been confirmed and continue to marvel at the lack of clarity around the snooker calendar before detailing some dream tournament set ups.

  • 6. It's Time to Meet the Players on the Muppet Show Tonight

    50:37||Season 1, Ep. 6
    The Snooker Season has started! Sort of... Jennie and Chloe reminisce (again) on their experience at the World Championship [Chloe coughs a lot] and ponder the slightly odd start to the season and how disappointing it is that Q School isn't a real school (and that it isn't called 'Cue School'). Then it's off to Jim Henson's world of Muppets for some mild roasting of the Top 16.

  • 5. Merry Crucemas Ya Filthy Animals

    54:47||Season 1, Ep. 5
    Jennie and Chloe record in Sheffield whilst watching Jennie's future ex-husband get beaten by Jak Jones. They also talk at length about animals and the Sims 4.
