Nick and Phil are back with a special episode live from Sheffield, and they're joined by two brilliant guests in father and son, Mark and Ryan Watterson.

There's plenty of chat about all the best of 25 matches played in the World Championship at the Crucible over the last week, from the second round and quarter-final stages, plus the latest news from the semi-finals.

There's also plenty from Mark and Ryan too, including Mark's great love of this championship since he first came to the Crucible since 1977 and Ryan's new role as a media officer with the WPBSA.

We also talk about the massive contribution made by another member of the Watterson family, Mark's late uncle Mike. He was first and foremost a promoter in snooker, being instrumental in the tournament moving to Sheffield. Alongside that, he was a fine player and commentator. We reflect on that and also talk about some of Mike's roles in a number of other sports, including football, darts and bowls.

Keep your thoughts coming to us and we''ll catch up with all your correspondence in our final episode of the season next week. Tweet us @TalkingSnooker or email talkingsnooker@yahoo.com
