:14:33. > :15:09.
:15:09. > :15:19.first 180 in the match. Norris is on a Shanghai again. Still for
:15:19. > :15:30.
:15:30. > :15:36.here. He needs double 18 for a 147. He is considering his options. He
:15:36. > :15:46.has played it brilliantly. Straight into that double 18. 147 finish for
:15:46. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:29.Wesley Harms. It levels of the set going through. There we are. -- the

:17:15. > :17:17.
:17:17. > :17:27.There we go again. Treble 17. That is unusual. He went for travel 13

:18:00. > :18:05.calculated risk when you are on 50. He went for 18, double 16. It meant
:18:05. > :18:11.that he only had one shot rather than two. It completely vindicated
:18:11. > :18:19.his faith in himself of being able to hit that double 16. This is
:18:19. > :18:29.turning into a classic. Scoring is absolutely brilliant. Can't fault

:20:16. > :20:26.check-up is significantly worse. But he has had three times as many
:20:26. > :20:43.
:20:43. > :20:47.shots at a double. As a result, he seed. I think he did really well to
:20:47. > :20:57.keep his mind on the job with everything else going on. His focus
:20:57. > :20:59.
:20:59. > :21:03.and application. That was significant in the previous match.
:21:03. > :21:13.Alan Norris started a slow leak as he had a few problems with his

:23:46. > :23:54.first leg of the final back in 2000. Some early nerves there. You have

:24:04. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:39.bit of advice? Well, I hope he gets his wish. I think he needs looking
:24:39. > :24:46.
:24:47. > :24:56.afternoon, don't forget. He is taking charge of the match now,
:24:57. > :25:18.
:25:18. > :25:28.nice shot that would have been. That is one that Norris hit in his
:25:28. > :25:31.

:26:30. > :26:40.88402-0 lead in the third. -- far. That is a good first start.
:26:40. > :26:50.Ride in the middle. Wesley Harms 96 and 60 before this throw. But this
:26:50. > :26:51.
:26:51. > :26:55.looks good. It is kind of a Dutch Derby. Alan Norris is playing under
:26:55. > :27:05.the English flag but living in Holland. And we have a Dutch
:27:05. > :27:06.
:27:06. > :27:16.referee as well. He has lived all over the world, Allen has. Last
:27:16. > :27:44.
:27:44. > :27:48.last. Brilliant. Takes the set 2-1 in sets. What a time to take out a
:27:48. > :27:57.150. His fourth three-figure checkout of the match. He still
:27:57. > :28:04.trails 2-1. It is now 2-1, rather than 2-0. He's won all three legs
:28:04. > :28:09.since the break. Same problem for Alan Norris that he had in the game
:28:09. > :28:19.against Wayne Warren. His shoulder just tightened up a little during
:28:19. > :28:21.
:28:21. > :28:28.the 3-4 minutes that they had off stage. It's happening again here.
:28:28. > :28:35.Not a very good start to this leg. After all the big finishes, and
:28:35. > :28:40.they are 125, 121, 147 and 150 - it's the trip to the mad house
:28:40. > :28:45.where he saw off Alan Norris with a double 1. It could be very
:28:45. > :28:55.significant. That gave him the first leg of the first set - having
:28:55. > :28:55.
:28:55. > :29:04.come from behind him. Trailling by a set. Wesley Harms still trailling
:29:04. > :29:14.by a set. More potters than a room of Stoke City fans all in tribute
:29:14. > :29:15.
:29:15. > :29:25.to the man who runs the Lakeside. I bet they can't remember when they
:29:25. > :29:41.
:29:41. > :29:48.was at The Palace. It's a brilliant finish from Harms. This will be the
:29:48. > :29:58.best of the lot. Bullseye for a 170. You would not believe in the form
:29:58. > :30:10.
:30:10. > :30:20.he's been in. There's a shot here. 25 - so a double 8. Running away
:30:20. > :30:26.
:30:26. > :30:35.now. Still trailling 2-1 though. Alan is really shook up. Four legs
:30:35. > :30:45.in a row for the electrician. He's found his spark, found his rhythm.
:30:45. > :30:47.
:30:47. > :30:57.The crowd is standing once again. I'm enjoying this one, Jim. I'm
:30:57. > :31:30.
:31:30. > :31:37.leading here. Three darts. A chance for Alan to step in here now. 60
:31:37. > :31:46.points behind. He can get that with one dart. He's not happy up there
:31:46. > :31:54.at the moment. He's a tidy poker player by reputation, Alan Norris.
:31:54. > :32:04.His facial expressions belying the frustration he is feeling at the
:32:04. > :32:06.
:32:06. > :32:16.moment. He's a poker player - you can tell he's not happy. How
:32:16. > :32:18.
:32:18. > :32:28.quickly it changes. A treble 18. He's going for the ball again.
:32:28. > :32:33.
:32:33. > :32:42.Three double top. Double 10 now. The speed merchant. 15 or seven.
:32:42. > :32:52.That leaves double 12. That's the first phase of this game - 2-1.
:32:52. > :32:53.
:32:53. > :33:03.He's a leg away from taking the next two sets, tying it up at 2-2.
:33:03. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:15.It certainly changes. Describe the match. Superheroes all around,
:33:15. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :33:56.wherever you look. Treble 18 again. He's taking it out. He's good with
:33:56. > :34:12.
:34:12. > :34:19.figures. Another 20. I hope he's not taking a vow of silence. Even
:34:19. > :34:29.the most devout member of the brotherhood would struggle to keep
:34:29. > :34:37.
:34:37. > :34:43.still here at the Lakeside. We are not flying tonight. It's a
:34:43. > :34:53.dangerous thing, his lead melting away, Alan Norris. Put that in your
:34:53. > :34:53.
:34:53. > :35:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 70 seconds
:35:49. > :35:59.finish. He's still leading 2-1 in sets. Wesley can take that. Picking
:35:59. > :36:09.
:36:09. > :36:16.off - in big trouble. This is a good one. It's a finish - long 6-1.
:36:16. > :36:22.Last spare dart from Harms, treble 20 leads double 17. That's bullseye,
:36:22. > :36:30.but you can't get parity on a number of legs. He will be back
:36:30. > :36:40.having a go at 2050. Wesley on the pitch - he has six. Yes, double 8
:36:40. > :36:41.
:36:41. > :36:51.if he wants it. There it is. Good leg there for Alan Norris. Two in a
:36:51. > :37:06.
:37:06. > :37:11.row for Alan Norris, after losing the previous four. Every leg
:37:11. > :37:21.crucial. Some clearly more crucial than others. A massive difference
:37:21. > :37:21.
:37:21. > :37:31.between a 3-1 lead to Norris, and 2-2. And the last leg. We'll take a
:37:31. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :38:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 70 seconds
:38:21. > :38:28.short break. 2-2 in sets. Still a thinking. That was good thinking.
:38:28. > :38:38.Couple of double 20s. That's a better one for Wesley. Treble 20
:38:38. > :38:40.
:38:40. > :38:47.leads double 8. 2-2. Double 4. Wesley. Looks to the heavens. Alan
:38:47. > :38:57.Norris looks to the score board and senses his opportunity. Double top
:38:57. > :38:59.
:38:59. > :39:09.for 3-1, and he can't take advantage either. Oh, deer. Good
:39:09. > :39:33.
:39:33. > :39:43.knock. What an opportunity. Which way are you going to go, Alan.
:39:43. > :39:48.
:39:48. > :39:58.Wesley looks at double 4, double 2. One more shot at double 2. The last
:39:58. > :40:17.
:40:17. > :40:27.one was 85, I thought, but it was 20, back to 20 now. He's hit double
:40:27. > :40:30.
:40:30. > :40:40.1 once, and needs to hit it again. Wesley Harms hits a double in the
:40:40. > :40:42.
:40:42. > :40:51.decisive leg of the fourth set. had chances. He had lots of chances
:40:51. > :40:59.to make it 3-1. Instead, it's two apiece. You would think that that
:40:59. > :41:09.would put the momentum back with Wesley harms. If he wins this leg
:41:09. > :41:17.
:41:17. > :41:27.he'll be ahead for the first time in the game. He's gone ahead. Yes.
:41:27. > :41:42.
:41:42. > :41:52.Plenty of room. 2-0 up. Yes, three 140s. Two from Harms, one from
:41:52. > :41:56.
:41:56. > :42:06.Norris. What a good leg this is. 136 left. He's there again. There's
:42:06. > :42:06.
:42:06. > :42:16.been a run of them. Lucky. He has a little bit to do here. This is with
:42:16. > :42:17.
:42:18. > :42:27.the throw, the first leg in the fifth set. Excellent pressure
:42:28. > :42:31.
:42:31. > :42:41.applied as Wesley Harms goes for double 4. He leads for the first
:42:41. > :42:52.
:42:52. > :43:02.time in the match. 4-2 finish to take that leg. Now in the lead.
:43:02. > :43:12.Coming from behind and leading now in the match. It's critical, for
:43:12. > :43:37.
:43:37. > :43:43.the first time. There's a little bit to do here. Facing the treble
:43:43. > :43:52.20, but they decide to go the -- their own way in the finish. In a
:43:52. > :44:02.very idioSinn accurateic way, getting down from -- idiosyncratic
:44:02. > :44:21.
:44:22. > :44:31.way, getting down from 501. We get the first time again. The highest
:44:32. > :44:38.
:44:39. > :44:48.checkout of the week, 158. Leaves himself 100. Not the best on the
:44:49. > :44:54.
:44:55. > :45:01.ball. It's now eight legs out of the last 10 that Wesley Harms won.
:45:01. > :45:10.He had nine and 11 in the first round against Rohit David. I don't
:45:10. > :45:20.know why he couldn't challenge him for this title. He's getting better
:45:20. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:56.every time I see him. 60 point ahead is Norris. He might be better
:45:56. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:17.switching. There we go. 95. Leaves a 170. All these thought-out. That
:46:17. > :46:34.
:46:34. > :46:44.changes the scenario a bit. 8th of the game. That's the first set. He
:46:44. > :46:49.
:46:49. > :46:59.has to win this one. First to fall at the moment. Done well in this
:46:59. > :47:07.
:47:07. > :47:13.set. He stuck around last year, Alan Norris played Dean Stanley,
:47:13. > :47:19.trailling 3-1 and came back in the break. He knows very few positions
:47:19. > :47:24.are insurmountable for him. He may be a little frustrated that it's
:47:25. > :47:34.proven to be more difficult than anticipated at that point. He has
:47:35. > :47:53.
:47:53. > :48:03.got a second wind. That's all it takes. 163. Not the time you would
:48:03. > :48:06.
:48:06. > :48:13.have anticipated in throwing that. That's a 116. 13 for double 8,
:48:13. > :48:23.double 4 to tie it up at 2-2. He's bust. Just the wrong side of the
:48:23. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:53.wire. 3-2 lead in sets. That's the way. Wesley Harms lost the flight.
:48:53. > :49:01.
:49:01. > :49:11.I must apologise. Double 8 is the marker. It's double 10 for Wesley
:49:11. > :49:15.
:49:15. > :49:25.Harms. Now double 5. He leads 3 sets to 2. Coming back from 2-0
:49:25. > :49:41.
:49:41. > :49:45.down. So we know the quality now of this young man from Alkmar. Well,
:49:45. > :49:50.let me tell you, Snow White is nowhere to be seen here. They have
:49:50. > :50:00.got the night off, those two. It's the other five doing the work for
:50:00. > :50:17.
:50:17. > :50:27.them. I thought they were real. Let's be fair here. Stop the press
:50:27. > :50:37.
:50:37. > :50:46.- three more have escaped. under the table. Standing on a box.
:50:46. > :50:56.Good finish at 76. All sorted out mentally, I think. Treble 20,
:50:56. > :51:19.
:51:19. > :51:29.double 8. Alan Norris is really in trouble now. So many challenges in
:51:29. > :51:50.
:51:50. > :51:59.the match. Definitely not giving in. He's in trul. -- he's in trouble.
:51:59. > :52:09.Three successive double 100s for Alan Norris in this leg. Margin for
:52:09. > :52:27.
:52:27. > :52:31.error. This is consistency. Four 100s on the trot. It's a 1-1.
:52:31. > :52:41.Double 20 for Harms. He now can't finish. Alan Norris will get back
:52:41. > :52:51.with a look at 52. Good pressure. Double 18. This is massive for Alan
:52:51. > :53:07.
:53:07. > :53:17.Norris. They can't get much closer in this game. They could well go
:53:17. > :53:29.
:53:29. > :53:39.all the way. I think Alan wants to finish it now. Great play from
:53:39. > :53:39.
:53:39. > :53:49.Harms, back from 140. 265 before. They have to try to get the 19.
:53:49. > :54:12.
:54:12. > :54:22.Leave themselves 170. They can get five of them. 179. Now is his
:54:22. > :54:22.
:54:22. > :54:29.chance. He has the opportunity. Harms is on the finish for 167.
:54:29. > :54:39.He's taken some big shots out. Treble 19 he's looking at now. It's
:54:39. > :54:44.
:54:44. > :54:54.the bullseye for a sensational 167. Not quite. OK great here - a good
:54:54. > :55:02.
:55:02. > :55:12.save. It's double 16. Double 8, double 8 it is. Double 4. Alan
:55:12. > :55:12.
:55:12. > :55:20.Norris is walking behind him. He knew he had a chance. He has two
:55:20. > :55:25.darts to do it now. Absolutely crucial that he did. Harms having
:55:25. > :55:35.three shots at a double which would have taken him within one leg of
:55:35. > :55:39.
:55:39. > :55:49.victory. Holding the darts essential for him here. He was
:55:49. > :55:50.
:55:50. > :56:00.leading there in the earlier part. Coming back like he has done. A
:56:00. > :56:05.
:56:05. > :56:15.little dropcy. OK. May be in trouble here He needs one leg to
:56:15. > :56:17.
:56:17. > :56:25.square the match. I think he deserves to go all the way. There's
:56:25. > :56:35.very little between the pair at the moment. He's giving himself a
:56:35. > :56:47.
:56:47. > :56:51.fantastic chance. 62 left. Can't finish now. Harms can. Absolutely
:56:51. > :57:01.crucial for Alan Norris that he hits a double 16 here. Three darts.
:57:01. > :57:11.The first is a decent marker. Getting nervous now. There's three
:57:11. > :57:16.
:57:16. > :57:26.of them. Alan Norris has three darts, and an opportunity to finish
:57:26. > :57:32.
:57:32. > :57:38.this one. Double 8 may be better for him. All square. There's no
:57:38. > :57:43.more sets after the 7. They were nervous. It's been a great tussle.
:57:43. > :57:48.A great match for both players. Enjoyable. They are close mates,
:57:49. > :57:58.and it's been a close encounter. Now we are into the deciding 7th
:57:59. > :58:10.
:58:10. > :58:20.set. It's like Alan Norris's epic with Dean wyn Stanley nearly a year
:58:20. > :58:29.
:58:29. > :58:39.ago today. That's better. Big scores from these lats: -- lads.
:58:39. > :58:40.
:58:40. > :58:50.Four big scores in five visits to the ochie. What can Harms set up?
:58:50. > :58:58.
:58:58. > :59:08.Top of the shot finish for Alan. after nine darts.. This for 11.
:59:08. > :59:11.
:59:11. > :59:21.dart finish. This is brilliant. lead is broken there as well.
:59:21. > :59:43.
:59:43. > :59:50.needed a drink there, didn't he. He'll be needing a drink after.
:59:50. > :59:59.Who's going to make the breakthrough. One hopes. It's nerve
:59:59. > :00:09.channelling. Even the crowd that's watching here. They've given them
:00:09. > :00:26.
:00:26. > :00:36.the best. Friends and family can barely look. A good cover shot.
:00:36. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:50.Just one leg separates them. Seems to be getting the best of order.
:00:50. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :01:03.Must be a thriller. That finishes 147. Could be 170 here, on the
:01:03. > :01:13.treble The Harms is taking 147 out in the match. Alan Norris can't do
:01:13. > :01:21.
:01:22. > :01:31.it at this juncture. Going for the board, double 19. To level the
:01:32. > :01:32.
:01:32. > :01:40.match, double 16. He made it 3-3, 1-1. Final set. Brilliant, Jim.
:01:40. > :01:50.Just as high scoring in breaking Alan Norris in the first leg of the
:01:50. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :02:02.decider. Alan Norris goes straight back. He didn't want to lose the
:02:02. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:32.throw hee can take, he's got to tell you. Just 41
:02:33. > :02:38.from Norris. 440. -- 440. He's gone back in, and now has to battle
:02:38. > :02:48.again. Sharp exhalation of breath from Alan Norris. You can tell that
:02:48. > :02:49.
:02:49. > :02:59.these two going through all sorts of emotions. There's not many fight
:02:59. > :03:21.
:03:21. > :03:25.backs. He would have been under the carpet by now. 64. Back on 200.
:03:25. > :03:35.Harms knows he'll have an opportunity to break back
:03:35. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:41.straightaway. Double 16 - to move within a leg. Yes. The finishing
:03:41. > :03:45.has been nervous. Wesley Harms now knows that all he has to do is hold
:03:45. > :03:49.his throw and he's throw to the quarterfinals for a second
:03:49. > :03:59.successive year. All he has to do is hold his throw, because neither
:03:59. > :04:00.
:04:00. > :04:06.player has been able to hold his throw so far in this set. If you
:04:06. > :04:13.were picking a winner, the two darts advantage would go Harms. He
:04:13. > :04:23.has been brilliant. Took the first couple of sets. Fought back. Now a
:04:23. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:42.chance to take the match. That's Alan's brother Matthew on the left-
:04:42. > :04:46.hand, sitting next to Wesley's partner, Meeka. That's another
:04:46. > :04:55.example of camaraderie. Two boys are gunning for each other. The
:04:55. > :05:05.boys are a little bit involved. That is enough. And he knows it,
:05:05. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:21.Meeka knows it. A good marker. - knock at the door. Come on, you
:05:21. > :05:24.
:05:24. > :05:34.can do it. It's this for the match for Wesley Harms. Treble 20, single
:05:34. > :05:43.
:05:43. > :05:48.12, double 16. Let's see what he throws, 145 the score. 110 left.
:05:48. > :05:58.Unlucky. Kapt finish now. It's all down to -- can't finish now. It's
:05:58. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:09.all down to Harms. Absolutely brilliant. What a match. The most
:06:09. > :06:16.enjoyable one so far, in my opinion. It's been great. It's been a battle.
:06:16. > :06:22.Wesley Harms has done himself proud. Scott Mitchell barely had time to
:06:22. > :06:28.wipe the tears of joy from his face after recording a round one wig at
:06:28. > :06:31.Lakeside, before the fog cleared and the man in his way was Robbie
:06:31. > :06:37.Green, who also never made it to the last eight. Once again,
:06:37. > :06:43.everything at stake on the bik stage. Your commentators this -- on
:06:43. > :06:49.the big stage. Your commentators this time Vassos Alexander, and
:06:49. > :06:59.Tony Green. 2-0 in this leg. It's the first set. That was the last
:06:59. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:15.leg. He looks mean tonight. Back in the day, Tony, that is what you'd
:07:15. > :07:24.be wearing here in the commentary box. They are loving it already.
:07:24. > :07:30.Robbie Green is setting them alight. It's the second maximum of the
:07:30. > :07:40.match. He's the sort of player that can run away with the match if
:07:40. > :07:42.
:07:42. > :07:52.you're not careful. It's fast, furious, but that is what darts is
:07:52. > :08:12.
:08:12. > :08:22.all about. They'll put a bit of pressure on the 64, Scott Mitchell,
:08:22. > :08:32.who is yet to have a dart at a double. That'll be pressure. It
:08:32. > :08:41.
:08:41. > :08:51.will be done in two darts. double 16 now. 68. Double 4 is the
:08:51. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :09:03.shot. Double 2. This for the shed. There -- for the set. There may be
:09:03. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:34.a chance. OK. Double 4. It's a set. No-one likes going for a double 1.
:09:34. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:14.OK, double 8. That's the one. Set point. Le loves fishing, golf, --
:10:14. > :10:29.
:10:30. > :10:33.he loves fishing, golf, football. There's a record of 3 out of 3
:10:34. > :10:43.before a first round win over Mark Barilli. Over the line and so
:10:44. > :10:44.
:10:44. > :10:54.emotional to have finally got over that hurdle. It's a third attempt
:10:54. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:14.to get out of Round 2. It's been a good start to the leg. One 4, 2-1.
:11:14. > :11:24.Still with a good lead. That's Jamie, who is Robbie's boy -
:11:24. > :11:29.
:11:29. > :11:34.watching on with interest. Obviously with interest. It's the
:11:34. > :11:40.haircut. That's what does it. couple of times here Scott has left
:11:40. > :11:46.himself on one of these bogey numbers. It was extreme a couple of
:11:46. > :11:56.legs ago. No possible finishes. This time it's Robbie who is way
:11:56. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :12:26.back. Options here. He's up to 54. That's 64 left. He has 43 left. So
:12:26. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :12:40.no worries on that one. That's the first one of the second step.
:12:40. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:52.little too late. That's the first win of the match. This, you feel,
:12:52. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:29.would hurt if Robbie could hit kids will be happy seeing dad win a
:13:29. > :13:39.leg. Dad also, incidently had good support from Mark and Steve
:13:39. > :13:42.
:13:43. > :13:52.Fletcher, who played before. Unfair start, that. Seems to be rushing a
:13:53. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:08.bit, just in the first. Nerves maybe. Robbie beat the reigning
:14:08. > :14:18.champion, Christian Kist. scoring has just gone up. Well, if
:14:18. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :14:28.one does it, you feel the other one does. Instead of just letting the
:14:28. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:51.darts float. Robbie on this leg. That's settled. If they'd been
:14:51. > :14:55.three, it would be a bit of a worry. Don't pretent you don't have
:14:55. > :15:05.glasses like that. -- pretend you have glasses like that. You were
:15:05. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:16.wearing them last night. Eight 20s required in the form of two trebles.
:15:16. > :15:26.Can't be done now, but Robbie is back on 187. Still left at 120.
:15:26. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:43.Still a 3-dart finish. Treble 19 it will be. Yes. We have to get this
:15:43. > :16:00.
:16:00. > :16:05.one. To level the set, 18, double 16. Yes. This set with the ledger
:16:06. > :16:15.going with the darts. If it remaibs like that, it will be one --
:16:16. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :16:42.remains like that, it will be one set a piece. No tea tonight then.
:16:42. > :16:42.
:16:42. > :18:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 70 seconds
:18:51. > :18:59.He's nicked a couple of legs now. 2-0 lead. He looks focused. He
:18:59. > :19:05.looks like he means business, Robbie Green. He was unable to
:19:05. > :19:10.compare the last dart for the double. Which would have won the
:19:10. > :19:17.match. March Martin Adams took it, and won the next -- Martin Adams
:19:17. > :19:21.took it and won the next six legs in succession. It all goes to show
:19:21. > :19:31.how quickly darts can change. One missed dart for the match, and you
:19:31. > :19:40.can end up losing. There's only two players. The other Mike Gregory and
:19:40. > :19:50.Taylor, in what I definitely believe was the greatest game of
:19:50. > :20:04.
:20:04. > :20:10.this World Championship ever. Beautiful darts. That is? The red.
:20:10. > :20:20.There's Jamie. He's not happy, is he? He's living every dart, isn't
:20:20. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:33.he? He's got plenty to be happy about, hasn't he. 144 points away
:20:33. > :20:39.
:20:39. > :20:49.from a 2-set lead. Another double 20 would lead - no, 117. Big finish.
:20:49. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:20.Big man - low score. Treble 20. single - double 17. Now it's 15.
:21:20. > :21:26.He's halfway there. Halfway to the final in the World Championship. In
:21:26. > :21:33.fact, this already counts as his best performance at Lakeside. It
:21:33. > :21:38.never counts as more than one set in the second round. Both players
:21:38. > :21:48.in unchartered waters, Scott Mitchell never being beyond Round 1.
:21:48. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:07.Neither player wants the Lakeside adventure to end here. He's in
:22:07. > :22:17.trouble. There are heroes in the crowd. There are two big
:22:17. > :22:21.
:22:21. > :22:29.superheroes on stage well. He used to enjoy a drink on the stage many
:22:29. > :22:39.moons ago. "I've been here 40 years". Remember Jockey Wilson
:22:39. > :22:47.
:22:47. > :22:56.falling off the stage. Lovely. Lovely. Struggling, Scott Mitchell
:22:56. > :23:06.- 44, 43 and 45 in the fifth leg. Robbie Green is not really taking
:23:06. > :23:10.
:23:10. > :23:16.advantage. They are single or double figure scores on the score
:23:16. > :23:26.board on either end of the Lakeside stage. The red scores are ones you
:23:26. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:36.want - 100 or above. Like that. That goes up in red. He's not one
:23:36. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:51.to make a move. It's a second away from in here. He's two sets down.
:23:51. > :23:51.
:23:51. > :24:00.Treble 20 or double 18. 64 left, so treble 16. Scott Mitchell back on
:24:00. > :24:10.230. It's his 1-1 leg only in the first two sets. We feel he hasn't
:24:10. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:39.quite settled into the match yet. Just one away. Yes, four sets to
:24:39. > :24:48.
:24:48. > :24:58.win it. One more set after this. works as a courier. In his spare
:24:58. > :25:04.
:25:04. > :25:10.time from darts. He does a bit of travelling. Not a bicycle courier.
:25:10. > :25:16.Motorbikes now, isn't it? Sometimes you see bike couriers, especially
:25:16. > :25:26.around the big city. Speaking of motorbikes, Scott Mitchell is a
:25:26. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:33.huge fan of the Pirates Speedway Team. Neil Middleditch, who is the
:25:33. > :25:43.manager, was on the text to wish Scott good luck. He's a lovely man.
:25:43. > :25:52.
:25:52. > :26:02.I've known him for many years. Cullins was a top player from
:26:02. > :26:06.
:26:06. > :26:14.Dorset, talking to Scotty. He owns a cafeteria-shop now. He keeps
:26:14. > :26:24.getting in trouble. When Scotty finds a hurdle. He comes in and
:26:24. > :26:27.
:26:27. > :26:32.shakes the roof. That's a lovely dart. Right in the middle. He's
:26:32. > :26:42.struggling a little bit with his range, as Scott Mitchell - as
:26:42. > :26:52.Robbie tries to take out treble 15. And tops for another leg, yes.
:26:52. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :27:00.about that? 105. So that's five legs in a row for Robbie Green. He
:27:00. > :27:09.won the first three in the match to take the first step, and lost the
:27:09. > :27:19.leg. Nicked a couple and he's now one more leg away from a 3-0 lead
:27:19. > :27:35.
:27:35. > :27:45.in sets. Scotty needs to play some darts. He's not happy. Already in
:27:45. > :27:59.
:27:59. > :28:09.trouble here. He may well be. Look at the last dart. I don't know if
:28:09. > :28:18.
:28:18. > :28:28.she can see the last dart. If you can hear me, it's in the treble 19.
:28:28. > :28:40.
:28:40. > :28:50.Two of them. Robbie Green is showing the way. 48 left. 48 left
:28:50. > :28:56.
:28:56. > :29:06.for another set. 16, double 16 is the shot. Double 16. Marching alone
:29:06. > :29:16.
:29:16. > :29:23.is old King Kong. I'll never forget when I called him Robbie Green -
:29:24. > :29:33.mind you he was fitter. Robbie Sabber, I think it was. Dear.
:29:34. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:44.do look very similar. Yes. That is a program I want to watch, Robbie
:29:44. > :29:45.
:29:45. > :29:53.Green on 'Dancing On Ice' or 'Strictly' or, indeed 'Splash'.
:29:53. > :30:02.Nobody else would be able to drive. OK. Not far away from the end there,
:30:02. > :30:12.the way things are going. A few muppets and a plungeer I saw there.
:30:12. > :30:13.
:30:13. > :30:23.-- plunker I saw there. Zipy and Bungall. Roland Rap and Dell boy
:30:23. > :30:29.
:30:29. > :30:39.and Rodney - only at the darts. part of the fun. OK, a few scores
:30:39. > :30:49.for Scott Mitchell. 41, 41, 57. He just can't cut it tonight. Nothing
:30:49. > :31:14.
:31:14. > :31:24.is going - Scott and Mark are there. He just keeps struggling. Now
:31:24. > :31:34.there's trouble just a fraction away. Robbie could punish that.
:31:34. > :31:35.
:31:35. > :31:39.Only one score of 60 in nine throws. There's a 1 40. There is Colin
:31:39. > :31:45.Murray, who has put -- there's a 140. And there is Colin Murray, who
:31:45. > :31:55.has put on a bit of weight. loves his darts, does Colin,
:31:55. > :31:59.
:31:59. > :32:07.doesn't he. So Scott the first to finish on this leg. To be honest,
:32:07. > :32:15.he can do something to galvanise this, and how about this, a 164. A
:32:15. > :32:25.Shanghai for Robbie. Treble 20, treble 18. Robbie, Chang high on
:32:25. > :32:26.
:32:26. > :32:36.130. -- Shanghai on 140. A treble 20. Single 20, double top. See the
:32:36. > :32:45.
:32:45. > :32:49.second dart. Just cruising now. bet that feels like a punch to the
:32:50. > :32:59.Solar plexise, that Scotty dart. It's been a while since he got a
:33:00. > :33:00.
:33:00. > :33:10.dart to the double. He's only one, one leg, and he's lost the last
:33:10. > :33:36.
:33:36. > :33:46.seven in a row. The game is not finished yet. Yes, come on. Let's
:33:46. > :34:10.
:34:10. > :34:20.see how you can perform. This is the leg. Needs a treble. He's only
:34:20. > :34:21.
:34:21. > :34:31.won the one leg. It will be soul destroying, when I got off the
:34:31. > :34:42.
:34:42. > :34:51.stage with Scotty, I know how I was feeling. 141 left after that 125.
:34:51. > :35:01.It should win the leg. He knows it. Biting the fingernails. Another
:35:01. > :35:04.
:35:04. > :35:14.five left. Treble 15 - no. He'll be back for 91. He knows something
:35:14. > :35:22.
:35:22. > :35:32.precious coming. That is really unlucky. Treble 17. Different to
:35:32. > :35:58.
:35:58. > :36:08.that. 25. Calls the shot. Can he do an Archie Adams now? He took all
:36:08. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:20.the sets against Robbie in the Masters. Robbie almost had a leg
:36:20. > :36:27.off in that last leg, he couldn't find the scoring, didn't get down
:36:27. > :36:36.to the finish. Scott, for his credit took full advantage with the
:36:36. > :36:46.91 checkout. Now a treble 20. Are we finally going to see some darts
:36:46. > :36:56.
:36:56. > :37:01.from Scotty. Hopefully. He'll put it away very quickly now.
:37:01. > :37:11.mention that they were messaging each other on Facebook early this
:37:11. > :37:12.
:37:12. > :37:22.morning. What surprised me is that they were both up at 7:30, 8:00.
:37:22. > :37:30.
:37:30. > :37:40.Last to bed. Still with the throw. 195 - that's why he's gone on to
:37:40. > :37:52.
:37:52. > :38:01.19s. Robbie's gone off the boil now. Six darts from 138. It can be done
:38:01. > :38:11.in three. Treble 18 leads double 12. He'll be back - he could have done
:38:11. > :38:24.
:38:24. > :38:34.without the one. OK. 19 double top. Dear. 71 left. 5, double 8 are the
:38:34. > :39:00.
:39:00. > :39:06.options. Yes. Robbie beat Scott 2-1 in the semifinals on the way to
:39:06. > :39:16.winning in Belgium in 2011. They have only met once before on TV,
:39:16. > :39:16.
:39:16. > :39:26.these two. Scott beat Robbie 5-1 in the first round Group stage. He's
:39:26. > :39:30.
:39:30. > :39:40.gone back to how he was in the earlier stages. My head is spinning.
:39:40. > :39:55.
:39:55. > :40:05.So many people watching. He wants to do so well for his fans. 30 and
:40:05. > :40:09.
:40:09. > :40:19.41. So far from Scott in this leg. 71 scored in six darts. This isn't
:40:19. > :40:27.
:40:28. > :40:37.going much better. You can't beat a better bully. Check that. 158 left
:40:38. > :40:47.
:40:47. > :40:57.for Robbie. 406 for Scott Mitchell. To square the set. It won't be this
:40:57. > :41:00.
:41:00. > :41:10.time. They'll be coming back for definite, and maybe more than once.
:41:10. > :41:32.
:41:32. > :41:42.Yes, he will be back more than once, if he wants to be. Double top.
:41:42. > :41:57.
:41:57. > :42:07.for Mitchell. He cannot finish. Double top is the shot. Double 10.
:42:07. > :42:17.
:42:17. > :42:22.The group enjoyed that. He needs it because he's just one leg away. We
:42:22. > :42:28.know he can do better. It's the way to start the leg, where you are
:42:29. > :42:35.throwing for your life, your legside life at 180. I was hoping
:42:35. > :42:45.he'd get a 9-dart finish there? Weren't we all. It's about time,
:42:45. > :42:54.
:42:54. > :43:03.isn't it? Yes. Come on. That's it. If he can take this leg it makes
:43:03. > :43:13.all the difference. He's on the finish. Crucially. Robbie will not
:43:13. > :43:20.
:43:20. > :43:30.be on a finish. Sixth start from 138. 15 scored from 123. Coming
:43:30. > :43:31.
:43:31. > :43:37.back now for 43. It could make all the difference in this match.
:43:37. > :43:47.that's a finish of sorts, 152. This is for the set. Three double top he
:43:47. > :43:51.
:43:51. > :44:01.might go or 11, double 16. Double 12 he wants for the set. This is
:44:01. > :44:07.
:44:07. > :44:17.for the match. Scott Mitchell. He'll come back for double 6.
:44:17. > :44:20.
:44:20. > :44:30.Silence please. He's done it. Look at that. We thought he didn't have
:44:30. > :44:34.
:44:34. > :44:44.a dog's chance. The spoty dog may have just started howling. He has a
:44:44. > :44:50.
:44:50. > :44:54.set on the board. He is two down with three to play. It's
:44:54. > :45:04.disappointing when you have been down there, and you get a little
:45:04. > :45:06.
:45:06. > :45:12.bit of energy and you think "Right, I can still do it.". He's taking
:45:12. > :45:18.his time. A drink of water. I can guarantee you that's what it is.
:45:18. > :45:28.It's giving Robbie a chance as well to think about how close he was to
:45:28. > :45:41.
:45:41. > :45:49.the quarterfinals. As I said 6-3, losing every leg, lost the match.
:45:50. > :45:57.That's a little repeated. That's somewhere in the dark recesss of
:45:57. > :46:06.the mind. A little nagging doubt. It happened before. He'll try not
:46:06. > :46:16.to think. The thing is Scotty hasn't made up for it. Finishing on
:46:16. > :46:19.
:46:19. > :46:29.170. You mentioned the masters. The Masters in 2010. He missed three
:46:29. > :46:40.
:46:40. > :46:50.darts. He won the final 5-3, but it was 5-4 to Ross Montgomery. Riding
:46:50. > :47:01.
:47:01. > :47:11.the corner. Plenty of room. Still plenty of room. Double 6. He's had
:47:11. > :47:11.
:47:11. > :47:21.a few bounce-outs, Robbie. Here we go, double 5. How about this. For
:47:21. > :47:31.
:47:31. > :47:41.130 - yes, indeed. Now, that... that doesn't pump him up, nothing
:47:41. > :47:57.
:47:57. > :48:03.will. Is the tide changing? Here comes Robbie now. It's a break of
:48:03. > :48:13.throw there for Scott in the last leg. He looked miles back. He was
:48:13. > :48:35.
:48:35. > :48:41.miles back. He's got the advantage of throw here. Hold on Robbie.
:48:41. > :48:51.134. Robbie Green. That's pressurising this throw and this
:48:51. > :48:51.
:48:51. > :49:01.leg. All around the treble, without going in. Robbie's having a great
:49:01. > :49:19.
:49:19. > :49:29.leg. Down for 19 or the 17. Good finish, 130. It's just been done.
:49:29. > :49:44.
:49:44. > :49:54.He's going to have a lot of entry. Options there. Scott on 241. Still
:49:54. > :50:00.
:50:00. > :50:10.not on a finish. Treble 18 for double 8. Perhaps double 14.
:50:10. > :50:20.
:50:20. > :50:30.double top, Robbie Green. 184. are all over the place. Double top.
:50:30. > :50:38.
:50:38. > :50:48.To level the set - coming closer. They broke the serve as well.
:50:48. > :50:50.
:50:50. > :50:57.Scottie drew first. This could be the point of no return. You wanted
:50:57. > :51:04.to see it kick on after the 120 checkout after winning the first
:51:04. > :51:11.set of the match. He had a quiet leg, couldn't find the treble and
:51:11. > :51:21.kept struggling. Still in the 9. That's the trouble. Once your mind
:51:21. > :51:25.
:51:25. > :51:29.takes you away from it - you just want to dig a hole. He's not doing
:51:29. > :51:33.anything personal on the stage. He's come on, and nothing it going
:51:33. > :51:43.right for him. I think I know a little what I'm talking about - I
:51:43. > :51:44.
:51:44. > :51:54.have seen it. You know more than a little bit, Tony. Like I said, it's
:51:54. > :52:18.
:52:18. > :52:24.only one apiece in this set. Yes, that was the time to take it. The
:52:24. > :52:34.highest scores. His fourth of the match, his first in a couple of
:52:34. > :52:57.
:52:57. > :53:07.sets. Come on, is he going to Tony Green double top. Under
:53:07. > :53:09.
:53:09. > :53:19.pressure now. Double 10. One more dart. How about that, Scott
:53:19. > :53:29.
:53:29. > :53:39.Mitchell. He never looked anywhere near nicking. Double 16. It's up to
:53:39. > :54:03.
:54:03. > :54:13.him. Up to him. More water. He's on the pink now. If he can get this.
:54:13. > :54:17.
:54:17. > :54:26.Has the advantage. Not too bad at all. It helps. If it's a leg away
:54:26. > :54:36.it becomes interesting. That can happen. He's had a few throughout
:54:36. > :54:40.
:54:40. > :54:48.the match, wild once. There's nothing you can do about it. Robbie
:54:49. > :54:58.has gone off the Boyle. The scoring is still there from Robbie.
:54:59. > :55:07.
:55:07. > :55:17.still that is in him, Robbie. match should have been all over.
:55:17. > :55:40.
:55:40. > :55:50.This is showing that you never ever give in. He wants to measure there.
:55:50. > :56:13.
:56:13. > :56:19.darts darts at least. He's in a different
:56:19. > :56:29.position. Sot will be thinking he needs to put pressure on just like
:56:29. > :56:38.
:56:38. > :56:48.this and that. And he follows it in. Playing for the match again. Just
:56:48. > :56:59.
:56:59. > :57:07.got a shot of his son Jamie, who is biting his fingernails. He doesn't
:57:07. > :57:16.want a 3-2 lead, having been up in set. Remember, Robbie has never
:57:16. > :57:26.been as as farspzas the quarterfinals. 140 to start this --.
:57:26. > :57:28.
:57:28. > :57:38.As far as the quarterfinals. 140s. It's something to cheer, but
:57:38. > :57:41.
:57:41. > :57:51.not a lot. A bit of breathing space for Mitchell. This leg will take a
:57:51. > :57:57.
:57:57. > :58:07.set. One of them will take the match. For the match. We are in
:58:07. > :58:22.
:58:22. > :58:32.trouble now. 36 left. Robbie Green with a double 18 for the match.
:58:32. > :58:34.
:58:34. > :58:43.There it is. That is a quarterfinal for the man they call Kong. The
:58:43. > :58:47.adventure ends in Round 2. fifth seed goes through. Robbie is
:58:47. > :58:53.through. That wraps things up for this evening. Some marvellous
:58:53. > :58:58.matches up on the big stage. Join us later on this afternoon, BBC Two
