How can Carmen say that Alastair McGowan shouldn't have been on there? He was an integral part of a fantastic show, although I would have to agree that it probably is on too late for some people, and you have to wonder why since it really is a family show. Almost a sports version of Parkinson really, and that has to be a good thing.

I really have enjoyed this series of On Side and the quality of guests have been superb. But rather than having four guests on the show and trying to cram in as much as possible in the time allowed, why not just have two quality guests? Then, the interviews could be more in-depth and not give the programme a rushed feeling.

"Dare I say that John Inverdale is as good at interviewing as Parkinson"

Top show! Dare I say that John Inverdale is as good at interviewing as Parkinson. What a refreshing change to watch an interviewer that lets the guests do some talking and asks the right questions. My highlight of the seies was seeing Nasser Hussain after the excellent performance of his team during the winter. I saw his appearance in the previous series of the show immediately after the series defeat by New Zealand. It took a brave man to appear that night. I have been very impressed with Hussain as a leader and his ability to take the rough with the smooth.

Why so late? Perfect prime-time television wasted and perhaps another example of BBC complacency.

Why such a woefully short series? Maybe this explains the overloading of each show with guests - three is much better. Strachan and Taylor were fantastic but if I wanted to see Alistair McGowan's act I'd watch his own TV programme thanks.

A fantastic show in which the viewer is treated to a fine mix of sporting chat, humour and insight into the lives of not just our British sporting heroes, but those of many other great sporting nations.

With a fine balance of guests from a wide variety of sports On Side is a guaranteed winner for the BBC.
