Didn't realise that one day I would be saying that Stephen Hendry was my favourite KZbinr, yet here I am

[@juchetony1910]

I think his snooker's improving too. That action's looking a bit more solid than when he started the channel, partly due to the new cue.

[@billypribbo9668]

I like that he knows he's pathologically competitive and builds the guest spots around it, half of the fun is watching him pretend he's just taking it like a friendly when you know he absolutely wants to win.

[@graemejack9040]

I'm a staunch Hendry fan..... like to my absolute core but never in a million years could I have imagined that he'd be such a great interviewer/ host etc? Who could have known he had banter? 😂 He has a distinct natural ability to interact with his guests and get the best out of them especially other snooker players! Every single video with a snooker player has been interesting and shown them all in a very different light rarely seen before! I think the best example of this for me is in the one with Steve Davis!!! Arguably the two dullest, least talkative, humour less personalities in snooker history ( in their competitive playing days ) making a 40 odd minute KZbin video together filled with banter, nonsense and also with real honest depth and insight into their own careers, rivalry, achievements etc!!

[@Scarcitystudios.]

I can smell the shit

Williams is a legend, love the way he jokes about the table

[@LittleCrowYT]

[@nathanpillinger1900]

After he sunk the black and cheered, he looked over to the bar like "anyone see that ;)"

[@rtctchr]

Best episode yet, I reckon Hendry vs. Williams should be a regular thing on here, worth it for Mark's shit talking alone.

[@juchetony1910]

Mark is the most chilled guy in sport. One time, during a WC match, one of the crowd regulars offered him a wine gum, he stuck his hand in there and grabbed about twenty, shoved them all in and wolfed them down while the ref was setting up for the next frame.

Break from life is a fantastic snooker content channel and for ages has been easily the best but Cue tips is on another level these days and is rapidly growing.

Brilliant! 😄 This was like me and my brother playing anything when we were teens. He would always change the rules as it suited him. 😅

[@renerpho]

And he'd *still* loose. That's my brother, too!

[@TheycallmeMrWonka]

I've only seen it to just after the S point but he didn't change the rules. The entire point of the S challenge is to pot as many of the S shape as possible. It would make zero sense to allow a canon that breaks it all up. I will say if Mark didn't get told the specifics of each challenge then Stephen needs to do that in future. I mean, im assuming that's what your comments was getting at, if it isn't then ignore me. UPDATE Stephen "One go" Mark "What's happened to 2?" Me Lol UPDATE TO THE UPDATE It's all gone to hell. You're absolutely right. Working out the rules mid cue action LOL.
