Eleventh day - the Quarter-finals
Seven days to go, eight players left and the big money still remains to be fought for.
At 10.30, according to the pre-championship forecasts and seedings, STEVE DAVIS (1) should be playing BILL WERBENIUK (8) and CLIFF THORBURN (3) should be facing EDDIE CHARLTON (6) as the first eight frames of the first two best-of-25-frame quarter-finals begin. Two players in particular may have had something to say about that. TERRY GRIFFITHS in Werbeniuk's section, and JIMMY WHITE in Charlton's quarter, will be disappointed if they are not on duty this morning.
At about 2.30 it's DAVID VINE and Snooker Break, and Shot of the Championship is repeated.
At 3.0 the remaining quarter-finalists play their first sessions. ALEX HIGGINS (5) versus TONY KNOWLES (4) and KIRK STEVENS (7) against RAY REARDON (2) were the matches expected, but TONY MEO is a big danger to Ray Reardon 's hopes, and DOUG MOUNTJOY has beaten Alex Higgins here before.
DAVID ICKE will have the quarter-final line up as he introduces another seven-hour snooker session. Commentators TED LOWE

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
