Jimmy White and Alan McManus were expected to feature in the event, but on the day of recording White was unavailable due to an injured toe, and the car that McManus's maager was driving him broke down in Scotland. The next two players on the ranking list that could get to the Birmingham venue in time were Peter Edbon and Hallett, and they took up the vacant places.White and McManus fail to show for Pot Black Snooker Scene October 1993 13
