Do you let your kids go outside and get their hands dirty? Or do you think it's better they stayed inside? Alan Titchmarsh says that kids should apparently 'eat dirt' - the Dad's gave their take on it. Also, an Australian study shows that a third of kids think their dad's work too much . Do the dad's get their work balance right?

What stuff have you got in your house? That was the hot topic on this week's Dad's Hour - whether you should be allowed to have your own Dad cave with whatever you want in it! Also, how far would you go to make sure your kid was behaving in school? One Dad went as far as sitting in his kids physics class alongside him. Che and Chris told Mick the measures that they would go to.

It was superhero day at the tower and Dad's Hour had some very special guests joining them. David Adams and son Henry joined the Dad's in the studio to tell them about the amazing work that When You Wish Upon A Star has done for them and for Henry with his illness. Plus - how many boxes of cereal do you get through in your family? And do you have a bromance with a fellow dad? Iain and Mick discuss that and more on this week's show.

There was plenty on the agenda of Dad's Hour this week - so much so that Mick had to a do a 'roulette' of topics! The Dad's spoke about everything from watching over your kids doing homework, men's hairstyles to a Dad entering his daughter into a competition for messiest room.

The Dad's are back after a week off for Easter with all their parenting tips and advice. Mick told the Dad's all about his family holiday in Cornwall and his first cinema experience with daughter Evie to see Peppa Pig. Also, at what age do you think it's safe to cross the road? A recent survey said it was the age of 14. Do you agree? The Dad's had their say.

On this week's episode Mick Coyle was joined by Iain Christie and comedian Che Burnley. We asked is it appropriate to be your child's best friend as well as their Dad? When do you draw the line between the two? Also, a recent survey said the UK was one of the worst countries for babies crying - it seemed the Dad's fully agreed!

Mick was joined by regular Dad Iain Christie, back from his week off, and 'celebrity' Dad Patrick McBride (aka the Milktray Man!) The dad's were talking when is the right time to let your kid 'off the leash' and let them do more things on their own. A report in the Mirror suggested 10 - what did the dad's think? Also, they discussed whether Liam Payne from One Direction, a new Dad, had the right dadding tactics after he claimed he's going to make a 'man cave'.

On this week's Dad's Hour, the dad's discussed at what age do you turn into parents? Do you hear your mum and dad in yourself when talking to you kids? Also, what are the most Googled things by new mums? There were some very sensible questions and some very odd ones too - we put it to the dad's to see what they thought.

On Dad's Hour this week it was inset day for Iain's kids so for the first time ever, we had children in the studio! We asked them to describe Daddy in one word and it was an interesting choice. We also put it to the dad's what would you do for love? Pretend you know about politics? Watch a film of their choice? Also, they discussed how apparently parents live longer than people without children. Safe to say they found it very hard to believe!

After an incident involving quinoa , Mick and Iain contemplate its mysterious origins, while an article about a family of NINETEEN leads to the question; what do they have for tea? #DadsHour
