I have been lucky enough to meet both Rob Yong and the late and ever so charismatic Devilfish who was a real character - i really hope this show comes back - maybe even dig up John Duthie too!!

Yes - the original series was founded/funded and produced with John Duthie and Dave Ulliot was at the time probably the biggest poker draw in the UK on TV, he was the breakthrough star for British viewers, he was charming, divisive and wickedly funny, i recall him battling alcoholism at the time and was a real comedian.

Such good TV - if this comes back, i will have to go and watch it being recorded!!

Also - this was the Birth of the Hendon Mob

Its worth looking up Ross and Barney Boatman and some of that crew as well - they were really funny, Ram Vaswani and several others who were on the fringes of greatness including Victoria Mitchell at that time - Now Vicky Coren-Mitchell

I think thats the name of what i watched on twitch tonight. Helmuth took out Jungleman in a best of 3 heads up match. It was damn entertaining

Wow, I watched some and I like it. That will be great if it returns. I miss it. Maybe some great players will play in it again, maybe Tom Dwan or Phil Ivey.

It was a great show. I really enjoyed the laid back premise and easy banter. Not to mention is so much fun watching the big dogs.
