The sports programme with Britain's largest regular viewing audience. This is what the top television critics say about it:
I am such a sucker for sport (although I draw the line at wrestling and boxing) that I can seldom resist the mixed bag of talk and play-back featured in 'Sportsnight with Coleman' (Bernard Hollowood, of Punch)
A programme that I am fast getting an obsessional affection for (Virginia Ironside, Daily Mail)
This week's items feature live action from the World Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden-Canada v. U.S.A. The first time since the Winter Olympics of last year that the world's fastest sportsmen have gathered in competition.
