Hello everyone. Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe is back on the air as the redoubtable Mark Selby wins the China Open again, his 26th ranking tournament success.

Hello everyone. Another fascinating tournament is in progress and here is a China Open update from me.

What is your take on the incident in the Stuart Bingham v Hossein Vafaei match? It looks pretty clear to me, but I'm not above having my mind changed.

Tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected] with any snooker views. And don't touch that dial - I will be back on the air soon.

I am very happy to be joined by the author Chris Shaw, who tells me all about his terrific new snooker book 'To the Max' about his pursuit of a live 147 break.

Chris is smashing value here, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording this. I will return soon with news from the China Open.

Hello everyone, it's time I caught up with your latest correspondence. Topics here include support for new players on tour, the Championship League and Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Your views are always most welcome - tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]

Don't touch that dial. I will be back soon with special guest Chris Shaw joining me to talk about his new snooker book.

Hello everyone. My first live commentary of the 2026-27 season is here for you, Judd Trump v Kyren Wilson in the Shanghai Masters final.

Hope you enjoy the commentary. I'll be back soon with Points of View. There's still a chance to get some correspondence over to me on any snooker matter - please do tweet @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]

Please don't worry. This is not a cry for help. I am fine.

I'm just enjoying nattering away about snooker right now. It's as simple as that.
