So, it's the 11th of the 11th today, and while the cream of this series' crop head on down to MediaCityUK to record the climax of the series, let's see who else might be there.

All the 5 octochamps have got their places booked so far, but will the current champion, Sarah Taylor, join them After an emphatic debut win over Michael McLaughlin on Thursday, her tight win over ECC member Anne Lambert showed her mettle, and could be a formidable opponent later on if she wins a few more shows..........

Alistair McGowan continues in DC today and tomorrow, before Sir Ranulph Fiennes returns on Wednesday.

Join Graeme later on for the recap.

3rd (?) numbers alt: (50 + 4) x 10 + 8 + 6 + 5

4th alt numbers: (50x10)-75=425; (8+1)x3=27; 425+27=452

The challenger today is Mandy Middleton, mother of octochamp Liam Shaw from series 67

Sarah played brilliantly today! It will be interesting to see if she can go all the way; it would certainly take a strong player to beat her.

Phwoar! Bold plans for the finals, Callum.

So on the eve of the QF's being recorded, who will be there?
All I will say is, the Prelims of this series are FAR from over.

Only one more winning 6 or more to bag no. 7 seed is my prediction...!!!
