And what an amazing start we are in for, possibly..... Not since Julia Wilkinson, appropriately 11 years to the day, have we seen a person on the verge of becoming an octochamp in the very first show of a new series.
But, we have 7-time champion Glen Webb back on the scene today, and even more amazingly, he has the chance of breaking Giles Hutchings' octochamp record, which he has only had for a few weeks. Admittedly, it is a long shot, with him needing to score 136 points, but he already has a 141 under his belt, so if anyone can do it, he can. Although, probably trying to score 117 to overtake Jack Hurst into 2nd place on the all-time list would be more realistic.

Will we have the brilliant start to what is lining up to be one of the most eagerly anticipated series yet
