:00:52. > :01:01.Dobromyslova took to the Oche against one of last year's losing
:01:01. > :01:11.supply fine aist, Lorraine Farlam. -- semi-finalist, Lorraine Farlam.

:02:00. > :02:10.A Lakeside welcome for England's Lorraine Farlam!
:02:10. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :03:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:03:01. > :03:05.She is the favourite to win the lady's's title, Anastasia
:03:05. > :03:10.Dobromyslova originally from Russia. Winner here in boast of her last
:03:10. > :03:16.two tournament, albeit four years apart. She has only one set in
:03:16. > :03:22.winning those titles in 2008 and 2012, but today does present a
:03:22. > :03:32.different type of test because she faces her close friend and sparring
:03:32. > :03:34.
:03:34. > :03:43.partner, Lorraine Farlam. Lorraine partner, Lorraine Farlam. Lorraine
:03:43. > :03:48.was a semi finalist last year. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
:03:48. > :03:58.first leg it is Dobromyslova to throw first. Game on. From Russia
:03:58. > :04:36.
:04:36. > :04:43.presented to the crowd before this game, they got a magnificent
:04:43. > :04:48.ovation from the Lakeside crowd. Great start for Lorraine as well w
:04:48. > :04:58.the two ton-fortys. She has been playing for 16 years, is in three
:04:58. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:14.local teams. Beauty therapist. No wonder Dean is looking so well.
:05:14. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:26.must be good! And Lorraine's two doubters here as well, -- daughters,
:05:26. > :05:36.here as well, cheering mum on. Josie a pretty tidey player herself
:05:36. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:53.by all accounts. The first leg is a high-flyer. Mind you, Anastasia
:05:53. > :06:03.just 100 in the first leg. Lorraine, you require 40.Tor Rain bags the
:06:03. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:14.double-tops again. Second leg, Lorraine to throw first. Game on.
:06:14. > :06:17.
:06:17. > :06:26.A good start. Anastasia, when her husband, Tony Martin, in actual
:06:26. > :06:36.fact 2002 was runnerup in the British classic. He went out in the
:06:36. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:49.world championship to Simon Whitlock. Anastasia's claim to fame
:06:49. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:16.- that her husband's uncle once played golf with you! Thank you.
:07:16. > :07:26.Big smiles. I tell you what, they have had some good darts already
:07:26. > :07:32.
:07:33. > :07:41.this weekend. Excellent audience, you can't fault them in any way.
:07:41. > :07:45.Another one of those lady darts players here watching on is Sharon
:07:45. > :07:55.Prins. Apparently she is a very good dart player herself, making it
:07:55. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:29.here. Very good action. Not the not the normal position. Lorraine, you
:08:29. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:40.require 106. Anastasia, you require 97. The first sign of a checkout
:08:40. > :08:50.there for Anastasia. Just to the wrong side. She looked to be treble
:08:50. > :08:50.
:08:50. > :08:55.19 which would have left double-top. A double 8 and a mighty seven.
:08:55. > :09:01.and second leg to Anastasia Dobromyslova. An appreciatetive
:09:01. > :09:11.round of applause. She has really hit her straps, Anastasia
:09:11. > :09:18.Dobromyslova, but that will do her the world of good. There is no
:09:18. > :09:28.joking with these girls. They are serious. Look at that face there.
:09:28. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:07.Meaningful. That is a good first good as the men. Two tonnes from
:10:07. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:17.Anastasia. This is great, girls. There he is, the man himself, Dean
:10:17. > :10:27.Winstanley. You have seen how good Dean is. Apparently it is brushing
:10:27. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:42.off on Lorraine. Dean played in the Yorkshire squad. Anastasia you
:10:42. > :10:55.
:10:55. > :11:04.back for a shot at double-top. Lorraine can't finish, obviously.
:11:04. > :11:13.Anastasia you require 40. A double- top. Double ten now. Game and third
:11:13. > :11:23.leg, Anastasia Dobromyslova. Fourth leg, Lorraine to throw on. Game on.
:11:23. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :11:59.As the double, took the leg. Lovely throw. You see those two stars
:11:59. > :12:09.signifying the two world titles that she has won. It could be a
:12:09. > :12:21.
:12:21. > :12:29.stary stary night for her. The way she is throwing. Right in there.
:12:29. > :12:39.He is obviously a very good coach, is Tony Martin. She is on 220,
:12:39. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:52.leading 2-1. Lorraine, you require 156. We will
:12:52. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :13:02.be seeing John Boy this week. Anastasia you require 139. 139 here
:13:02. > :13:12.for Anastasia. Double-top when she comes back, if she comes back.
:13:12. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:22.Lorraine on 73. To tie it up at two leg as piece in the first set.
:13:22. > :13:27.
:13:27. > :13:30.Bull's-eye, 22 - not quite. Anastasia you require 40. The first
:13:30. > :13:40.set Anastasia Dobromyslova. Second set, first leg it is Lorraine to
:13:40. > :13:45.
:13:45. > :13:51.throw first, game on. Having to go back to the 2007
:13:51. > :13:55.finals when Anastasia Dobromyslova lost a game on the Lakeside stage.
:13:55. > :14:01.She did spent a little time away before coming back. She was playing
:14:01. > :14:11.against the men then. I think she could still beat them now. First
:14:11. > :14:17.class. That is particularly impressive. Any of the men would
:14:17. > :14:24.have been proud of that. Albeit early in the game but she has won
:14:24. > :14:34.the last three legs and hit a double so far. Lorraine, first two
:14:34. > :15:12.
:15:12. > :15:18.Tweedle dumb to me. Lorraine you require 101. She was that quick
:15:18. > :15:28.there to get that double 18. She will be coming back, she has three
:15:28. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:38.darts for 36. That takes Anastasia down to 0 so it is double 18 for
:15:38. > :15:42.
:15:42. > :15:52.Lorraine Farlam here. She takes the first leg of the second set as well.
:15:52. > :15:59.
:15:59. > :16:09.Game on! So one set. I have never seen her
:16:09. > :16:20.
:16:21. > :16:25.look so stern. Really means business at the moment. Just a
:16:25. > :16:31.reminder that in these ladies quarterfinals it is the first two
:16:31. > :16:40.to two sets rather than the first to three as in the men's game, but
:16:40. > :16:50.it is still the best of five legs. It is very hot up there. You have
:16:50. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:14.no excuses. Anastasia also very impressed with the soft-tip version
:17:14. > :17:23.of the game. Plays a lot out in the Far East. Lucrative business.
:17:23. > :17:33.reason for that, soft-tips, is they don't like marking, the same in
:17:33. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:10.America. Marking the boards. They have big championships in America.
:18:10. > :18:15.A ton hasn't been scored in this leg by either player. Anastasia you
:18:16. > :18:22.require 123. There is your treble 18 and then the ball, oh, just a
:18:22. > :18:31.fraction. Lorraine, you require 80. So 80 for Lorraine. Another one of
:18:31. > :18:41.those, now double-top. Staiz staiz you require 72. -- Anastasia you
:18:41. > :18:43.
:18:43. > :18:53.require 72. 20 or 12. The double- top. Chance now for Lorraine. You
:18:53. > :19:00.
:19:00. > :19:04.have to take it. Seven double 16. Oh, 57!! Anastasia clean your boots.
:19:04. > :19:14.Anastasia you require 20. Double ten it is, but she has done it
:19:14. > :19:19.herself. Lorraine is back for a chance he didn't believe she would
:19:19. > :19:29.get. She only just missed it the last time - double nine she needs
:19:29. > :19:31.
:19:31. > :19:38.now. Anastasia you require 20. Double ten. And the second leg
:19:38. > :19:48.Anastasia Dobromyslova. Third leg is Lorraine to throw first. Game on.
:19:48. > :19:50.
:19:50. > :19:53.It is all square in this set. finishing has been decent for both
:19:53. > :20:03.players at the start of the game, but particularly for Anastasia
:20:03. > :20:30.
:20:30. > :20:36.fraction makes all the difference. Recovered well.
:20:36. > :20:42.Lorraine reached the semi finals here last year and also the semi
:20:42. > :20:49.finals in hp hull back in autumn and beaten in the decisive leg.
:20:49. > :20:53.Went all the way to sudden death. Finalist at the BDO international
:20:53. > :20:58.open and semi finalist at the Swedish open, but most
:20:58. > :21:01.significantly winner of the Welsh Masters. They do have a lot of
:21:01. > :21:11.events now, the ladies, because they have proved their worth and
:21:11. > :21:22.
:21:22. > :21:31.that is no joke. Anastasia marching ahead. And her first 140 of the
:21:31. > :21:41.match. And set up a 120 here, Shanghai. Treble 20 will lead
:21:41. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:51.double-top. 235 is the score remaining for Lorraine. Could be
:21:51. > :21:58.six darts here for Anastasia. Anastasia, you require 60. She only
:21:59. > :22:08.requires 60. 19 leaves double-top. Just as well she has got a clear
:22:09. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:20.run. Smiles. But Lorraine still some way back. It is a
:22:20. > :22:22.
:22:22. > :22:29.disappointing leg for her. Will she get a shot next time? Double-top.
:22:29. > :22:33.Game and and the second leg Anastasia Dobromyslova. This second
:22:33. > :22:38.set taking the pattern as the first - Lorraine Farlam winning the first
:22:38. > :22:44.leg and Dobromyslova winning them all after that. One leg away now
:22:45. > :22:53.from a place in the semis. Lorraine just one or two loose starts that
:22:53. > :23:03.haven't helped at all. Quite liked her chances of having a double at
:23:03. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:43.the doubles. But it is not over. Another excellent year for
:23:43. > :23:48.Anastasia, winning the England Open, the an theer with p Open, the
:23:49. > :23:57.tournaments just keep on coming. She is the favourite to retain her
:23:57. > :24:07.crown here at Lakeside. She is the girl to beat. I promise you. Not
:24:07. > :24:08.
:24:08. > :24:12.doing so well here. Four throws and the highest score was 58. And 45
:24:12. > :24:22.for Lorraine. It is slipping a little bit. There we are,
:24:22. > :24:28.recovering. There is Dean. He knows that Lorraine is in trouble.
:24:28. > :24:38.Especially after these three. That is what they want. The first
:24:38. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:44.of the match. Anastasia you require 144. And this is for the match.
:24:44. > :24:49.Treble 20 would leave double 12. Double 12, what a finish this would
:24:49. > :24:55.be. And she follows a 180 with a 144. That is the second highest
:24:55. > :25:01.checkout we have seen this week. It takes Anastasia Dobromyslova throw
:25:02. > :25:07.the semi finals as she I ams to successfully defend the crown she
:25:07. > :25:11.won here, there is no stopping the young lady from Russia. Her close
:25:11. > :25:17.friend Lorraine Farlam beaten, sends the message to Tony,
:25:17. > :25:20.Anastasia marches off. Now to a glimpse of a man ot the moment.
:25:20. > :25:26.Stephen Bunting from Liverpool arrives here as the world number
:25:26. > :25:34.one, ceded number one as the one who swept all before him in the
:25:34. > :25:40.last few months of 2012. He was up against Jammie Dodger, Jamie will.
:25:40. > :25:43.The big stage here at Lakeside is no place for a holiday. Your
:25:43. > :25:48.commentary team, Tony Green and Vassos Alexander.
:25:48. > :25:53.It is the much anticipated first- round match between the form player
:25:53. > :25:59.in BDO world darts and the man who has only been playing for four
:25:59. > :26:08.years having not picked up a dart for a deck seed. The top seed
:26:08. > :26:12.against a man who won the top prize on Bullseye. It could be a cracker.
:26:12. > :26:18.Let's play some darts. I am really looking forward to this one because
:26:18. > :26:28.the Jammie Dodger, like I said, a winner on Bullsyey, I remember it
:26:28. > :26:34.
:26:34. > :26:37.well. Do you? I do, because I think they said it was BlackPool. We are
:26:37. > :26:44.under way and Stephen Bunting the top seed who has the throw in this
:26:44. > :26:54.first leg. Became a dad to young baby Tobie in July did Stephen
:26:54. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :27:04.Bunting. And Jamie Wilson the lad from Huddersfield. The great
:27:04. > :27:11.Yorkshire team he played for. Already setting it alight. 180!!
:27:11. > :27:21.How about that? First leg, first maximum. Yeah, think we will see a
:27:21. > :27:29.
:27:29. > :27:38.few 180s here because Jamie - a Bunting we will go! Where as James
:27:38. > :27:48.Wilson is a Bunting hunting. 180!! It has got them going. First
:27:48. > :27:50.
:27:50. > :28:00.leg of the match. 123 to break the through. Treble 19 he will start
:28:00. > :28:00.
:28:00. > :28:10.with. Bull's-eye to break the throw - oh,
:28:10. > :28:16.
:28:16. > :28:22.dear! The first leg Stephen Bunting. James to throw first, game on.
:28:22. > :28:29.13-dart leg to kick us off here on the Lakeside stage.# Wilson I was
:28:29. > :28:33.chatting to a few momentsing a, so calm. So composed. It is his
:28:33. > :28:39.Lakeside debut but he says he has nothing to lose, she going to go
:28:39. > :28:48.out and enjoy it. -- he is going to go out and enjoy it. He is 14 years
:28:48. > :28:58.of age. He started playing darts when he was 15 years of age. Made
:28:58. > :29:09.
:29:09. > :29:15.the Yorkshire team and then gave up. Here he is. He is at Lakeside. A
:29:15. > :29:25.very good straight through with the dart. Have a look at here at
:29:25. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:40.Stephen Bunting. Yeah, same fluency. Still very early in the match,
:29:40. > :29:50.though. Have a look at these average, Tony. 18s first. Still a
:29:50. > :29:58.chance for a treble 20. Wants the bull. Yes!! What a finish.
:29:58. > :30:06.second leg Stephen Bunting. Game on!! He has thrown 25 darts and he
:30:06. > :30:16.has won two legs. That is why he is the top cede. That is why he is the
:30:16. > :30:18.
:30:18. > :30:24.player in form. That is why she the world champion.
:30:24. > :30:29.116 average for Stephen Bunting. 100-odd for James Wilson. I hope
:30:29. > :30:34.they start as they mean to go on because this is just tremendous.
:30:34. > :30:44.won't drop off, definitely not. Two experienced players. He will push
:30:44. > :30:56.
:30:56. > :31:06.him all the way, I guarantee. Big darting family. His mother, Katy,
:31:06. > :31:07.
:31:07. > :31:17.played for Yorkshire. They got him into playing darts as a kid. Oh, my
:31:17. > :31:26.
:31:26. > :31:32.dear - go to the dentist!! Yeah, close your lips, please. So looking
:31:32. > :31:42.to finish off with these three darts, Wilson. He is going to be on
:31:42. > :31:43.
:31:43. > :31:51.a good one. 140. Steve, you require 154. He is going to have to get
:31:51. > :31:59.this one to save the set. 130 still required. Stephen you require 76.
:31:59. > :32:04.He can do this in two darts. A double 8 for the set - oh, wow!!
:32:04. > :32:10.The first set to Stephen Bunting. Stephen Bunting with, what a
:32:10. > :32:20.statement of intent. In his first round. James to throw first, game
:32:20. > :32:27.
:32:27. > :32:37.The first set the advantage was to Bunting. The teenager champion is
:32:37. > :32:41.
:32:41. > :32:50.now a man. He has won every title from teenagers and now he is on the
:32:50. > :32:58.scene here. Possibly the most successful youth player of all time
:32:58. > :33:07.in darts. In 2012 he won the World's Classin', the world Masters,
:33:07. > :33:12.the world's sun Masters and just last month the Idaho' Masters.
:33:12. > :33:17.don't forget about the world maefts, I mentioned that, as well as a
:33:17. > :33:21.couple of local tournaments in St Helens in the last couple of weeks
:33:21. > :33:31.just to get match sharp. Do you know he plays five time as week in
:33:31. > :33:34.
:33:34. > :33:44.the local pubs. He practices for an hour a day, no more he says, until
:33:44. > :33:55.
:33:55. > :34:05.he reaches Frimley Green and then he ups that to two or three. 125.
:34:05. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:13.Steven you 132. He could be a mathematician as well. Stephen
:34:13. > :34:17.tells me he practices his scoring only because he says she that good
:34:17. > :34:22.he will give himself six -- he is that good he will give himself six
:34:22. > :34:28.darts at a double. He has only needed three darts so far. Is this
:34:28. > :34:38.four out of four on the double? the first one he missed. James you
:34:38. > :34:44.
:34:44. > :34:49.require 92. No, he has gone for the 60s, so double 16. Double right.
:34:49. > :34:59.Do you feel he needed that? He is going to get caught out on this one
:34:59. > :34:59.
:34:59. > :35:04.- double one. James you require 16. They could it the madhouse. Double
:35:04. > :35:14.eight is where you want to be aiming. Because you can do that and
:35:14. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:24.you have double four to aim at. He is on the board. It is Stephen to
:35:24. > :35:34.throw first. Game on. Only one good thing - James is not
:35:34. > :35:47.
:35:47. > :35:57.going to go on like this. A side view there of how the darts land.
:35:57. > :36:08.
:36:09. > :36:17.The angle. Similar. 134. Good thinking. He has left himself
:36:17. > :36:27.on a finish. 167 is treble 20, twebl 19 and the way he is throwing
:36:27. > :36:31.
:36:32. > :36:38.you would not put it past him. Treble 20 first. Last in the
:36:38. > :36:45.quarterfinals did Jamess to Ireland's Paul Brown and he is one
:36:45. > :36:55.great player, Paul Brown. Stephen you require 122.
:36:55. > :36:58.
:36:58. > :37:08.So treble 18 again. James you require 135. Leave it with James on
:37:08. > :37:18.this one, 25 or more. Yes, treble 20. Leaves the bull. Treble 18.
:37:18. > :37:22.
:37:22. > :37:28.Stephen you require 68. So three 20s, 16 now. And double 16.
:37:28. > :37:34.second leg Stephen Bunting. James to throw first. Game on. They are a
:37:34. > :37:44.happy crowd aren't they here at Lakeside? Looking like some of them
:37:44. > :37:52.
:37:53. > :37:57.had late nights as well. Where do they find all of these from? Blobby
:37:58. > :38:03.George. We will say hello to Stephen's aunty Lesley and uncle
:38:03. > :38:13.Barry who are back in St Helens looking after baby Tobie who I am
:38:13. > :38:24.
:38:24. > :38:34.told is wearing a specially made darts shirt, exactly like daddy's.
:38:34. > :38:42.
:38:42. > :38:52.Played it well. Yep, staying alive, the music. It is great fun, though.
:38:52. > :38:53.
:38:53. > :39:00.Always fun. 125. The fans really do add to the programme. James you
:39:00. > :39:10.require 70. So business end of this leg. Treble 18, now 20 or 12.
:39:10. > :39:13.
:39:13. > :39:23.Double 16. 38. Stephen you require 146. Not the best finish. He is
:39:23. > :39:27.
:39:27. > :39:37.going for the 19 so that is all right. Double 16 left here. 130.
:39:37. > :39:40.
:39:40. > :39:49.OK. Double 16. Double 8. Yes, right in the corner. The third leg,
:39:49. > :39:56.Stephen to throw first, game on. 1346789
:39:56. > :40:05.-- 134. One thing he say, James Wilson, is
:40:05. > :40:13.that he will never give up. Well, he won the jersey Classic and
:40:13. > :40:23.runner up in the Jersey Open. There is his dad, ever present. Looking
:40:23. > :40:26.
:40:26. > :40:36.after him ever since he was a toddler. He had a dart board.
:40:36. > :40:37.
:40:37. > :40:44.and his partner next to him, Tony. Team Bunting. Oh, dear. They are
:40:44. > :40:49.part of the wider team Bunting family. Yeah, he knows he has
:40:49. > :40:59.followers. 140. This is magic. They are getting their money's worth in
:40:59. > :41:04.
:41:04. > :41:14.this first match to be honest with you. And then some, Tony. Stephen
:41:14. > :41:19.
:41:19. > :41:25.is on 88. Chance to level this. Stephen you require 88. And the
:41:25. > :41:32.fourth leg, Stephen Bunting. James to throw first. Game on.
:41:32. > :41:42.The doubles are all the same size and they decide which side goes for
:41:42. > :41:44.
:41:44. > :41:54.it. Wilson's throw. Yeah, and you think Jamie is going to have to get
:41:54. > :41:55.
:41:55. > :42:05.this leg. 100. If he is going to have any chance because since that
:42:05. > :42:08.
:42:08. > :42:15.is the level, Bunting will really have a great lead. Look at this.
:42:15. > :42:20.140! All right under pressure in this leg James Wilson. He practised
:42:20. > :42:24.three hours on Christmas Day, three hours on new year's day. 140.
:42:24. > :42:33.the reason he does the practice is to produce darts like that under
:42:33. > :42:42.pressure. Keeps himself in with a shout. You have an opportunity now.
:42:42. > :42:51.59 behind. It is going to make it a bit difficult. Moves across to the
:42:51. > :42:58.Oche. Up one. He has lost the advantage of the throw. Bunting
:42:58. > :43:03.will be on a finish first - or will he? 55. He will but not a great
:43:03. > :43:10.finish. She on a finish, actually. But not a great one. This is the
:43:10. > :43:20.one for Wilson. Let's see what his lead is. Stephen you require 146.
:43:20. > :43:22.
:43:22. > :43:32.We have seen him had the big finishing. Here is one. James you
:43:32. > :43:36.
:43:36. > :43:44.require 60. Set point James Wilson. Tops. Tens. Needs them - gets them.
:43:44. > :43:54.And the second set James Wilson. have a game on!! Start all over
:43:54. > :43:58.
:43:59. > :44:08.again. One set apiece. So Jamie has given Stephen something to think
:44:09. > :44:18.
:44:18. > :44:26.about. That was unlucky. That was in and out. Off the barrel. For the
:44:26. > :44:36.dodge dodge that is the way I am afraid -- Jammie Dodger that is the
:44:36. > :44:43.
:44:43. > :44:52.way I am afraid the cookie crumbled. Takes the business Kut. -- biscuit.
:44:52. > :45:02.A 140 ton followed by another. 161 after nine darts. Stephen you
:45:02. > :45:10.
:45:10. > :45:20.require 161. A treble 20 would have done it, a treble 17.
:45:20. > :45:21.
:45:21. > :45:30.Surprising how many players use the bull.. Stephen you require 56.
:45:30. > :45:37.Under not mush pressure. 16, the top - The first leg Stephen Bunting.
:45:37. > :45:47.Second leg it is James to throw first. Game on.
:45:47. > :45:53.On 27 December, Tony, James won the Chester Cup beating John Wilton and
:45:53. > :46:03.Dean Winstanley. He has rarely been away from a darts board in the past
:46:03. > :46:25.
:46:25. > :46:35.fortnight. 125. It is a new referee, Anthony Dundass from Scotland.
:46:35. > :46:40.There he is. They do a great job. It is a tough old job, you know,
:46:40. > :46:50.tone any? You have to keep counting, keep all your options open and hope
:46:50. > :46:55.
:46:55. > :46:59.that the players don't go an odd way and rip you up. Yeah, Rob
:46:59. > :47:05.butler retired this year, taking a rest. But he will certainly be
:47:05. > :47:15.watching. He might even be counting the numbers, to be honest. James
:47:15. > :47:15.
:47:15. > :47:21.you require 86. The level is set. Treble 18, 18 and bull now. Bull's-
:47:21. > :47:31.eye. And the second leg, James Wilson, it is Stephen to throw
:47:31. > :47:43.
:47:44. > :47:53.first. Game on. Clean on bull's-eye in that set. They have both
:47:54. > :47:58.
:47:58. > :48:05.finished a leg on the bull, in the match. I tell you what, he has got
:48:05. > :48:10.Stephen thinking has Jamie. He has kept with him all the way through.
:48:11. > :48:19.The one thing he kept saying this morning is, "I tell you what, I
:48:19. > :48:23.will never give up." And he hasn't. Under a barrage from Bunting. The
:48:23. > :48:28.Bullet looked like he would streak away with the match, but no, taken
:48:28. > :48:38.back in the second set and now under pressure in in the third.
:48:38. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:51.is after that throw. It is just a bit erratic, good recovery. Blocked
:48:52. > :49:01.it - will he come down for 19s? No. Stephen you require 160. What a
:49:01. > :49:10.great shot that, two trebles. 86 coming in. So the Jammie Dodger
:49:10. > :49:20.could be no jammier than this one. 18, 18, the bull - oh, he hit it
:49:20. > :49:22.
:49:22. > :49:32.earlier on. Could have done with it there. Stephen you require 60.
:49:32. > :49:32.
:49:32. > :49:38.Double-top, squeeze it between them - no! James you require 34. Double
:49:38. > :49:42.17 or two double 16s. Does he fancy the 17s at the bottom of the board
:49:42. > :49:52.- he does. He moves ahead in the match for the first time and she
:49:52. > :49:54.
:49:54. > :50:04.throwing first for a 2-1 lead in set. Yes. Poised very well in this
:50:04. > :50:11.
:50:11. > :50:21.one for Jamie. 121. We have seen the office workers. Yabbadabba
:50:21. > :50:22.
:50:22. > :50:25.darts! Oh, dear. Where are they coming from this morning? It is
:50:25. > :50:35.great fun, but it is not for these with at the moment, especially
:50:35. > :50:43.
:50:43. > :50:53.Stephen. -- these two a at at the moment. Especially Stephen. And
:50:53. > :50:53.
:50:53. > :50:59.very quiet. Well, the Bunting brigade not a lot to shout about.
:50:59. > :51:09.182 is not a finish. There will be one here after this and it could be
:51:09. > :51:12.
:51:12. > :51:21.a good one as well. 140. 80 left. 80 for the set, 80 to move ahead.
:51:21. > :51:28.150. Brilliant darts under pressure, but this is an opportunity. 80.
:51:28. > :51:38.Single 20, he is going - oh, no, double ten he is coming for. Oh,
:51:38. > :51:43.
:51:43. > :51:51.yes!! And the set, James Wilson. This is the time for the underdog.
:51:51. > :51:55.First set, third he, it is James to throw first. I think Stephen needs
:51:55. > :52:02.something stronger than water. tell you what the number one cede
:52:02. > :52:08.has gone out in rund one of the world champion on seven additionals
:52:08. > :52:18.but never since 2000 - 13 years ago. Bunting in one hell of a battle
:52:18. > :52:20.
:52:20. > :52:29.here. Talk about comebacks. Yeah, his
:52:29. > :52:39.father is not too happy down there, look. 180!!
:52:39. > :52:40.
:52:40. > :52:47.A great game. So much talent on this stage.: Fabulous, isn't it? He
:52:47. > :52:52.is not playing badly, Bunting bubt. An average of almost 97 but he is
:52:52. > :53:01.2-1 down in sets. He is one set away, three legs away from going
:53:01. > :53:08.out. I look at these averages, 96.05 for
:53:08. > :53:18.Bunting. 86.98 for Wilson. The averages go down with the doubles,
:53:18. > :53:35.
:53:35. > :53:45.so it just shows you how well in the scoring department. Game on!!
:53:45. > :53:50.
:53:50. > :53:54.Didn't see that one coming. He says he only practices his scoring
:53:54. > :54:01.because he is confident he can get to a double early enough so that it
:54:01. > :54:11.doesn't matter, and look at that. 26 times Stephen Bunting has hit
:54:11. > :54:14.
:54:14. > :54:24.100 or more. And is this another maximum - yes! 180!! Could have put
:54:24. > :54:36.
:54:36. > :54:43.those on a pin head. There it is - nearly bounced out. I feel we are
:54:43. > :54:53.going back now to the '20s. They loved their darts in the '20s.
:54:53. > :55:04.
:55:04. > :55:11.These lads like them in the treble 20s. That is just the double. Great
:55:11. > :55:17.throw. Full extension of the arms. 180. James you require 116.
:55:17. > :55:25.Suddenly under real pressure, 116. Treble 17 for double 18, can't do
:55:25. > :55:35.it. Bunting for 56 for a twoing he lead. Stephen you require 66.
:55:35. > :55:40.
:55:40. > :55:47.for a double-top, the mark is there and Stephen is there.
:55:47. > :55:52.Enthralling is the word, isn't it? Do you know what? Darts is just
:55:52. > :55:56.brilliant, isn't it? Who cares which World Championship it is, who
:55:56. > :55:59.cares if it is even a proper sport or not - it is thrilling, it is
:55:59. > :56:06.exciting, it is tense, it is fun. And you can't ask for more than
:56:06. > :56:14.that on a January Sunday afternoon. Chris Evans is missing, thoughs
:56:14. > :56:24.isn't he? Come along Chris and enjoy yourself. I will see him in
:56:24. > :56:33.
:56:33. > :56:37.the morning. 100. That is a good cover shot. Keeping
:56:37. > :56:47.Bunting under pressure but it is two legs up this in this set makes
:56:47. > :56:47.
:56:47. > :57:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:57:28. > :57:37.us go all the way if he can get stop him. Double 19. The only way,
:57:37. > :57:47.double 19. Called it. That was set points to stay alive in the set.
:57:47. > :58:00.
:58:00. > :58:07.Double 8. To save the set. Another big push here. Only 60 to start the
:58:07. > :58:17.leg. Is he still thinking about the double 19? If he doesn't win it
:58:17. > :58:21.
:58:21. > :58:31.here, he'll have to break the throw to stay in the shafrplship. It will
:58:31. > :58:45.
:58:45. > :58:55.be tremendous on the next set. 140! Yes, applause for the pwhiing ones.
:58:55. > :59:02.Peace when the pliers throw it. He's left himself 166, which can't
:59:02. > :59:07.be particularian out. One of those bogey numbers. So this is a big 12,
:59:07. > :59:17.Tony, take it away. It is. All right. 11. He wants the ball, how
:59:17. > :59:32.
:59:32. > :59:41.many times has he hittian it? Oh, dear me! Relief! You can see it in
:59:41. > :59:46.his face. Oh, this is great! He hit a 180 when he needed it. He had one
:59:46. > :59:56.darbgts double 16. He hit it to take us into a deciding set and
:59:56. > :00:05.
:00:05. > :00:11.that's what we wanted. A bit of respect for each other. Well, James
:00:11. > :00:14.was saying, Tony, that he's beaten Steven more often than not. So
:00:14. > :00:20.Steven Bunting would have been more scared. He told me that riled him a
:00:20. > :00:25.bit and made him want it more. Look at those check-out percentages.
:00:25. > :00:33.Both of them pretty good, especially Steven Bunting. He just
:00:33. > :00:39.missed the double 16 under all sorts of pressure. The thing is, he
:00:39. > :00:49.stopped playing at the age of 17 and didn't play again until 15
:00:49. > :00:56.
:00:56. > :01:02.years later, Wilson. It's in the mind darts. If your mind doesn't
:01:02. > :01:12.want to pli, you're not going to play well. Well, this man has
:01:12. > :01:19.
:01:19. > :01:28.tallent. He's proved it. Six darts to move ahead in the deciding set.
:01:28. > :01:35.Jamie tells me that Ray Butty was his mentor. I know Ray very well,
:01:35. > :01:45.we played together. Steve venue, you require 17. Here we go. There's
:01:45. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:24.the tebl 18. Here comes the double 8. 140! And the scores keep coming.
:02:24. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :02:35.Oh, not a very good throw here. That was his best mean look, Steven
:02:35. > :02:43.Bunting. And you just look like you want to give him a cuddle. Still a
:02:43. > :02:53.youngster at heart, I'll tell you. They should produce Steven Bunting
:02:53. > :03:13.
:03:13. > :03:23.teddy bears. You must win by two clear legs until it gits to 5-5,
:03:23. > :03:32.
:03:32. > :03:42.then we'll have a tie-break. Objection, here we go. Great darts,
:03:42. > :03:52.the last two. He'll be back for 44. There's weight watching on. Another
:03:52. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :04:01.player... They prefer Jamie to take this away. Double 16. Double 8. Oh,
:04:01. > :04:06.no! At this stage he can't afford to miss! Not a bad finish 113.
:04:06. > :04:16.Still a chance. Treble 19. He's back and he saw that little nod
:04:16. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:27.there - Jamie, coming back to the double 8. And all sarts of pressure.
:04:27. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:48.Double 8. Can he find a way through? Must find a way through.
:04:48. > :05:05.
:05:05. > :05:11.Doom and glums. 121. The number one in the world. Is showing the way.
:05:11. > :05:17.True character in this match. both players have treated us to
:05:17. > :05:27.some smashing darts. Is this the final leg or do we have more twists
:05:27. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:42.to come? So they are on the flights. The 96, score, what we've got to
:05:42. > :05:45.
:05:45. > :05:55.reply, slipping away. Yes, I don't think it will be long from here.
:05:55. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:08.It's a slip that's fortunate enough. Under pressure, show him. Those
:06:08. > :06:14.three darts at double 8 you just felt were so crucial. If one of
:06:14. > :06:21.them had gone in with one leg a piece. Well he's on a finish of 160.
:06:21. > :06:26.It would be a nice one to go out on to take the match. Steve venue
:06:26. > :06:35.requires 1606789 stranger things has happened in darts. It's never
:06:35. > :06:45.over until that last double. this the last three darts here for
:06:45. > :06:50.
:06:50. > :06:55.Wilson? Steven Bunting played brilliantly throughout. But are
:06:55. > :07:04.these the last three darts? One more. Double 10 for the match. Not
:07:04. > :07:09.is yet. He'll be back. Well, fortunately, still no out-shot.
:07:09. > :07:14.Double 5 is what's going to be coming up. It could go for two
:07:14. > :07:23.double 4. But we'll see. Let's leave it with him. A little player
:07:23. > :07:33.there. Double 4. Good thinking. He's got two darts. But he's under
:07:33. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :07:44.pressure. Double two. Oh, look double mistake. Father got
:07:44. > :07:54.something to say. Double 18. Save the match. Can he handle it? Double
:07:54. > :07:56.
:07:56. > :08:03.nine. Tense moments. Oh, unlucky. Another opportunity. Another set.
:08:03. > :08:09.It's a match that's been so good it shouldn't finish on a double 1 but
:08:09. > :08:17.will it? Will it? It will. And the number one seed will take his place
:08:17. > :08:22.in round two. What a game! Well played Wilson. Well played Steven
:08:22. > :08:28.Bunting. The bullet is through. Listen to the applause out there
:08:28. > :08:37.for these two players. Magnificent! What a way to start. But a true
:08:37. > :08:44.champion has proved his worth. Unlucky, Jamie. Every player on the
:08:44. > :08:48.big stage wants to win their first round match, none more so than
:08:48. > :08:55.Scott Mitchell, never won in six previous visits between them. All
:08:55. > :09:05.at stake, everything to play for. Which one would crumble and which
:09:05. > :09:07.
:09:07. > :09:17.one would conquer?? So far, serial losers on this stage. Not elsewhere
:09:17. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:39.but on this stage. That's going to change for one of them today.
:09:39. > :09:44.There's Scott. He wants to do some commentary, he wants to move into
:09:44. > :09:53.that profession. Let him concentrate on his darts for now.
:09:53. > :10:00.Mark from Greenwich. Scott here from Dorset, a lovely part of the
:10:00. > :10:04.country. He reached the semifinals. At the Masters a month ago, Scott
:10:04. > :10:08.says having done that, he's confident he can bring his A-game
:10:08. > :10:14.to the big stage. I can tell you in the last half hour he's been
:10:14. > :10:23.listening for his favourite music to relax into before coming on
:10:23. > :10:33.stage. Bon Jovi, Kanye West, a favourite of your's Tony. And the
:10:33. > :10:38.
:10:38. > :10:48.last song he listnce to before he's called on stage is by Saliva.
:10:48. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :11:04.the first leg of the match then 25, leaves 20 and the bullseye. Chris
:11:04. > :11:14.finishes 134 on treble 18. He's only got the four off. So 19 or 15
:11:14. > :11:16.
:11:16. > :11:26.depending on how he feels. So tops. For the opening leg, England. He's
:11:26. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:42.already off. I can't see him now anyway. Mark Barilli is wearing
:11:42. > :11:47.contact lenses for the first time this year. He wears glasses at home
:11:47. > :11:51.but didn't want to wear glasses on the Lakeside stage for the past
:11:51. > :12:01.three years, so he struggled a little bit. For the past six months
:12:01. > :12:01.
:12:01. > :12:06.the contacts have worked well for him, he says. As Katie and Sam look

:15:31. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:48.big finish but... On 251. Won't be doing much. He's shaking his head.
:15:48. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :16:01.Scott, you require 118. 20s or 18s. 18 for tops. For the set, yes.
:16:01. > :16:11.Scott Mitchell. Well, that didn't take long. First leg to the first
:16:11. > :16:11.
:16:11. > :16:17.game on. OK, so first leg, second set. Down past the start and making
:16:17. > :16:23.a move. Well, one of these players will become the tenth player in
:16:23. > :16:27.championship history to lose each of his first four matches at
:16:27. > :16:34.Lakeside. But whoever it is, can console himself with the thought
:16:34. > :16:44.that three players have lost five in a row. They are Tony Pain, David

:17:01. > :17:07.Richards and Steve West. I haven't sign him much on the circuit. It
:17:07. > :17:12.does cost a lot of money. either go around the world and pick
:17:12. > :17:18.up the ranking points and you get a seed in place here or you go
:17:18. > :17:28.through the lottery and the nightmare that is the international
:17:28. > :17:33.
:17:33. > :17:41.qualifiers. Not much excitement in this particular match. We had to
:17:41. > :17:50.catch fire. Scott Mitchell won't mind that, three darts and a double.
:17:50. > :17:56.Yeah but Mark starts well, 100 under and then 42 and 60. Oh, it's
:17:56. > :18:04.not consist ency and that's what are with these matches. Scott was
:18:04. > :18:14.three 10s the last throws. So he's got the treble 19. Double 1 would
:18:14. > :18:34.
:18:34. > :18:39.have been another leg. So Scott Mitchell, two legs in a row.
:18:39. > :18:46.that double six finds the green bit, it's only one dart for the 141 that
:18:46. > :18:51.Scott Mitchell has missed. 80%. How about that? He's been putting them
:18:51. > :19:01.away very quickly the legs and the doubles. Really really hasn't had a
:19:01. > :19:06.
:19:06. > :19:15.shot at it even. That's better. member of the fourman team in the
:19:15. > :19:19.2000 World Cup in the USA. Scott Mitchell, meanwhile, part of
:19:19. > :19:29.England's 12man brich international squad every year since 2009. He's
:19:29. > :20:03.
:20:04. > :20:13.won five out of the eight matches for his country. 140! No fire on
:20:14. > :20:15.
:20:15. > :20:25.here at the moment, except for these. Mitchell on a finish. 106.
:20:25. > :20:31.
:20:31. > :20:37.96 left, so treble 18. By the way Mitchell's finishing, you'd think
:20:37. > :20:41.Barilli will have to finish this one. Was he thinking straight as he
:20:41. > :20:49.wept for the bullseye? Game shot, the second leg. Yes, he is he just
:20:49. > :20:54.not missing those darts at doubles. Mark Barilli not scoring heavily
:20:54. > :21:01.enough to get down to the doubles. Is he getting that sinking feeling
:21:01. > :21:11.once again? Well, he's got to make a move. I mean, reasonably two sets
:21:11. > :21:46.
:21:46. > :21:56.down. He only has 41. The invisible man. There's some big fish out
:21:56. > :22:13.
:22:13. > :22:18.there. No crocs. Mark here throwing 22. Not going like Phils. All he
:22:18. > :22:28.has to do there - just plod through really. Mark's really not pushing
:22:28. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:34.him. They just came through from playing Robbie Green. Good one from
:22:34. > :22:39.Barilli. How about the 164? Can't be done. It has happened, Mitchell
:22:39. > :22:46.having won the first five legs. It has happened several times, players
:22:46. > :22:54.have lost nine legs and gone home. Barilli will be desperate to avoid
:22:54. > :23:03.joining that sorry brigade. Well, the finish, if they finish this one.
:23:03. > :23:10.The 16, right. Double top. There's double top. A chance for Barilli.
:23:10. > :23:20.Come on. Double top. Oh, you're blocking the bed. Come on.
:23:20. > :23:25.springs to life does Mark. Those were his first darts at a double
:23:25. > :23:35.since the very first leg. He'd lost four in a row without having a
:23:35. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:45.chance. He's stopped. He's stopped the rod. It goes that way sometimes.
:23:45. > :23:55.Both slow place. You know, you get more excitement at a fast pace. But
:23:55. > :24:00.
:24:00. > :24:10.getting up there and it wasn't supportive for Mark. A long way to
:24:10. > :24:17.
:24:17. > :24:23.travel. 140 and then 41. Mitchell throwing first for the set. He's
:24:23. > :24:32.struggling. Mark, sometimes is happens that way. He's not getting
:24:32. > :24:42.there. He can distract you from your game. 168. The past four
:24:42. > :24:43.
:24:43. > :24:53.visits to the off. There we go. Finally, a treble. Behind before
:24:53. > :25:19.
:25:19. > :25:29.the throw. Otherwise, two sets down. The referee up there. 156 there.
:25:29. > :25:37.
:25:37. > :25:42.Double 18. Barilli, when he comes up, at 153. Well, this would solve
:25:42. > :25:49.him. He can take a lot of it out of here. He's having a nightmare and
:25:49. > :25:59.there's nothing he can do about it. 76 left after that first dart. So
:25:59. > :26:01.
:26:01. > :26:11.he still has a chance, Barilli on 108. 54 of them. So double top. Oh,
:26:11. > :26:12.
:26:12. > :26:22.quick silver. In the goal! Game on for Barilli in the match. Hugh is
:26:22. > :26:28.
:26:28. > :26:38.game on and suddenly it is game on. Nice applause from Scott Mitchell.
:26:38. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:51.Acknowledging that 108 check-out. The faster he throws, the better he
:26:51. > :27:06.
:27:06. > :27:13.gets. Mumbling to himself. They're still waiting for the first maximum
:27:14. > :27:23.of the match. It's just a walk in the park, like you say. Especially
:27:24. > :27:36.
:27:36. > :27:42.Scotty. He's two shots down. And the shot he has is 145. He's won
:27:42. > :27:52.the last two legs though has Barilli. Here's the momentum
:27:52. > :27:54.
:27:55. > :28:04.heading Scotland's way. Six darts from 155. He'll need them. The 12th
:28:05. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :28:21.seed. He's feeling the pressure now. OK, set point. 18 leads double top.
:28:21. > :28:34.
:28:34. > :28:40.Yes, double top. Double 10. Yes! He hits to a finish. So one set all.
:28:40. > :28:49.So Scott will try to steady this match. He doesn't want to let him
:28:49. > :28:54.run away with it, having lost the last three legs. The first five of
:28:54. > :29:01.the match. Barilli right on, ready to start. He wants to get on with
:29:01. > :29:07.it. But the thing is, I think Scotty knows that he throws fast.
:29:07. > :29:17.And whether his chances of slowing down? He's forgetting about his own
:29:17. > :29:21.game. That's what it seems from here. Scotty doesn't throw slow.
:29:21. > :29:29.Look how quickly Barilli wants to get on with it. He's almost ready
:29:29. > :29:35.to throw as Scott gets his head out of the way. Let's have a look at
:29:35. > :29:45.how they pull the darts out of the board. Is it one at a time? Yeah, 1,
:29:45. > :29:50.2, 3, very measured. If he turned around, it would have gone right
:29:50. > :29:59.through his ears, out the other side and maybe scored a treble.
:29:59. > :30:06.It's tactical this. It's not working. He's just tried it again,
:30:06. > :30:16.again, three in a row and look how close that dart came. As Mitchell
:30:16. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:33.moved away. Now, treble 10 or the bullseye. Double top. OK, 158. Look,
:30:33. > :30:46.
:30:46. > :30:54.he can't get it over the top of his head. So quick. First leg, Scott
:30:54. > :31:04.Mitchell. Second leg, Mark two. He's already won the first leg in
:31:04. > :31:06.
:31:06. > :31:15.this match against Heathrow. have a maximum! Finally! We also
:31:15. > :31:21.have a match-off. It looks as though Scotty was just walking away
:31:21. > :31:28.it. That time it's taken, Barilli's baking it and he's now dominating
:31:28. > :31:34.the game. Mitchell's sewing things up. It was always going to be a
:31:34. > :31:41.scrap wasn't it, with their Lakeside records, both players
:31:41. > :31:51.desperate to end that losing run. He's been playing for Scotland for
:31:51. > :32:00.
:32:00. > :32:10.many years, has Mark. He knows the score. Two bullseye. He's left 152.
:32:10. > :32:11.
:32:11. > :32:21.Mark requires 152. One set appease. One leg appease. Mitchell's miles
:32:21. > :32:40.
:32:40. > :32:45.back. And miles back. Is he ready to throw? Yes. Oh, well, he knows
:32:45. > :32:55.he can't finish so he went for another 18 so when he's back double
:32:55. > :32:57.
:32:57. > :33:02.16. Good thinking. Just when he thought it couldn't get any slower.
:33:02. > :33:12.That wasn't on purpose. Of course he just dropped the dart. Two 16s.
:33:12. > :33:32.
:33:32. > :33:38.Oh, yes, no problem. One set appease. One leg a piece.
:33:38. > :33:48.Semifinals in the England Masters and Swedish Open. It hasn't gone
:33:48. > :33:57.
:33:57. > :34:03.all of the way. They were here in 2009, so he's used to the stage.
:34:03. > :34:09.doesn't seem that bothered. Just slightly slower pace, Mark, Barilli.
:34:09. > :34:14.He doesn't show no emotions or anything does he. His kids look on
:34:14. > :34:24.anxiously, increasingly anxiously. They saw dad win the first five
:34:24. > :34:30.
:34:30. > :34:40.legs. Are they going to see their first maximum? Get up there - get
:34:40. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:55.them in. Get more applause. They set this leg up. Oh, come on, you
:34:55. > :35:05.need a finish. Very good last. it leaves a nice finish, even
:35:05. > :35:17.
:35:17. > :35:27.though it's three darts, a nice Yes! Yes shrm oh, unlucky. Lose
:35:27. > :35:39.
:35:39. > :35:45.Barilli on 252. Double top to hold this throw. Tense. They were coming
:35:45. > :35:55.easily. At the starting legs of the match, but now, not so much. Treble
:35:55. > :36:02.
:36:02. > :36:12.17 for double 8. Bullseye. Double 5, it's not a good double. Barilli
:36:12. > :36:20.
:36:20. > :36:25.another chance now. Ahead 17. Double four. He does it. On doubles.
:36:25. > :36:35.Suesian screaming her approval. There it is, a lovely smile from
:36:35. > :37:03.
:37:03. > :37:09.his good lady. 97. 100. Very well went down. They're starting to lift
:37:09. > :37:19.it up. I wonder if it's the pace of play that's getting to him. Well,
:37:19. > :37:29.like I said, it could be tactics. It wouldn't be the first time.
:37:29. > :37:29.
:37:29. > :37:39.do what you can to win. Rememberic is a master of it. He could take an
:37:39. > :37:40.
:37:40. > :37:44.opponent off ease. We can't say that because we don't know what's
:37:44. > :37:49.going through their head until we speak to them afterwards. Skos has
:37:49. > :37:53.picked up the pace. You can tell, he's picking his darts out of the
:37:53. > :38:03.board with, all at once rather than one at a time. I think he shouldn't
:38:03. > :38:03.
:38:03. > :38:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:38:54. > :39:04.be thinking anything, he should be This is the double that counts. Set
:39:04. > :39:27.
:39:27. > :39:33.points. Double 8. Doesn't miss the doubles much, does he! Well, awful
:39:33. > :39:38.the momentum was with Mitchell at the start of the north. It's all
:39:38. > :39:48.heading north to Barilli who has won six of the past seven legs,
:39:48. > :39:48.
:39:48. > :40:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:40:38. > :40:46.is slowing it down. Except when he gets on a double. One thought in
:40:46. > :40:56.there - doing the best to win, playing your own game. Well, that's
:40:56. > :41:00.
:41:00. > :41:05.the thing. Play the board they say. Sometimes easier said than done.
:41:05. > :41:15.sharp shot. Scott Mitchell coming back for 17. Looks like he's going
:41:15. > :41:16.
:41:16. > :41:26.to have to as well. Well treble 18 leaves double 8. 10 leave tops.
:41:26. > :41:31.
:41:31. > :41:41.Yes! Second leg, Scott to throw first. Game on. A huge sigh of
:41:41. > :41:41.
:41:41. > :42:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:42:38. > :42:48.relief. Whoa, sharian and the kids In this leg, as well as in the
:42:48. > :43:05.
:43:05. > :43:15.match. 140. That's very cool. Mrs Mitchell. Susan Barilli, Mrs
:43:15. > :43:32.
:43:32. > :43:42.Barilli, there she is. Much needed drink for Sharon Mitchell. Double
:43:42. > :43:52.
:43:52. > :44:02.10 coming in for Mark. 70 left. Double 10. It's not happening
:44:02. > :44:05.
:44:05. > :44:15.though is it! She doesn't look cool anymore, does she. She's ecstatic.
:44:15. > :44:48.
:44:48. > :44:58.Game on. It only just missed giving Mitchell a haircut. 100. Anybody
:44:58. > :44:58.
:44:58. > :46:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:46:27. > :46:37.that's playing Barilli, wear a helmet. Straight in the middle.
:46:37. > :46:54.
:46:54. > :47:04.Thank you, d as you're told. Scott to throw first. Game on. Throwing
:47:04. > :47:04.
:47:04. > :47:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:47:58. > :48:08.here. It's a match at 2-2. And 2-1. 81. Much need need treble. That's
:48:08. > :48:42.
:48:42. > :48:52.it, come on, liven the audience up. One of them is. They both are!
:48:52. > :49:05.
:49:05. > :49:10.is for the set. 18s. Unlucky. looks like the 20s, no, 18, that's
:49:10. > :49:20.all right. Double top now. He has his own variations of finishing. I
:49:20. > :49:23.
:49:23. > :49:33.think Scott will have to finish here. 16, double 16. Great
:49:33. > :49:33.
:49:33. > :49:42.opportunity. Double top. Double 10. Oh, putting one leg away from the
:49:42. > :49:52.match, that. Here we go then. Double 8. The family can barely
:49:52. > :49:55.
:49:55. > :50:04.watch. Oh, dear, both of them with their heads down now. Treble 5.
:50:04. > :50:14.Double 2. Double 2. Yeah, disappointment. Pressure, pressure,
:50:14. > :50:17.
:50:17. > :50:27.pressure. Will he get it? I think he will. This is why they pay you
:50:27. > :50:40.
:50:40. > :50:50.the big bucks. We're all square in Lakeside. More of a horse than a
:50:50. > :50:55.
:50:55. > :51:05.dog. It's the first time the two pliers have had a smile. I don't
:51:05. > :51:26.
:51:26. > :51:33.know what they've had to smile about. Still anyone's match now.
:51:34. > :51:39.More like a dancing show, a slow, slow, quick and slow. But, however,
:51:39. > :51:49.they're moving along with the pace now. Getting into the rhythm.
:51:49. > :51:56.
:51:56. > :52:06.slow, quick, quick, throw. A latter part of the match, they both woke
:52:06. > :52:16.
:52:16. > :52:22.up. 140 for Barilli and 142 for Mitchell. To finish on best for
:52:22. > :52:32.Mitchell. This will be a pwheter finish if he doesn't get it.
:52:32. > :52:38.
:52:38. > :52:48.Scott requires 160. All about the 20s. As I said, a better finish,
:52:48. > :52:50.
:52:50. > :53:00.151. So 54 left. This would be a significant blow at the start of
:53:00. > :53:05.
:53:05. > :53:13.the deciding set. Can he land it? Yes! Growing already. You've seen
:53:13. > :53:20.the pace there for Barilli. And throwing very slow earlier. Not his
:53:20. > :53:30.normal throw Scotty. But he's moved up the pace and the match has
:53:30. > :53:39.
:53:39. > :53:49.really come to light. Here's a chance. Another 140 here. Barilli
:53:49. > :53:51.
:53:51. > :54:01.smashed in the championship 2009, 2010, 2011. I'm sure they'd like to
:54:01. > :54:15.
:54:15. > :54:25.break. He's on a finish. He could be on a good one. Can't be done.
:54:25. > :54:29.
:54:29. > :54:39.That's the one. Better finish here. Good on you, Mark, yes, double 8.
:54:39. > :54:44.
:54:44. > :54:52.Look how fast he throws it. So 80, 20s. Treble for double 10. So move
:54:52. > :54:59.a leg away. Missed double after missed double after missed double.
:54:59. > :55:09.Double 4. Misses that. Last chance. A slow one, now they can't finish.
:55:09. > :55:10.
:55:10. > :55:19.It's double 10. Just take your time. So advantage 2-0. One leg to
:55:19. > :55:29.Mitchell to take the match. Barilli's wife there - looking down,
:55:29. > :55:29.
:55:29. > :55:33.can't bear to look up any further. Poor old Susan. This is no fun.
:55:34. > :55:41.Five times she held her breath in that leg, willing the dart into the
:55:42. > :55:47.double. And five times she was disappointed. I can see the
