:01:10. > :01:30.Is there more magic to come? Let's find out. Evening. Hedman versus
:01:31. > :01:37.Peters for a place in the final. The players enjoy their walk on. Hedman
:01:38. > :01:45.really did seem to have fun this evening. She would dearly love to
:01:46. > :01:56.bring her game to the stage, because if she does, there will be very
:01:57. > :02:04.little stopping her. That wasn't too clever from Peters. Ranked 13 in the
:02:05. > :02:07.world, up against a third seat. The England captain has been the top
:02:08. > :02:19.seed the last four competitions. This year? She has been a top seed,
:02:20. > :02:26.she lost to Lisa Ashton in the last three, and lost in the final the
:02:27. > :02:32.year before that. Does need to worry about those two this time. Are wide
:02:33. > :02:55.open women's World Championship. We will either have a new world
:02:56. > :03:06.champion or a ten times champion on Saturday evening. A gentle start,
:03:07. > :03:11.shall we say, to this one. The venue still filling up as well, it is
:03:12. > :03:15.absolutely bouncing this afternoon with some terrific darts. Sally
:03:16. > :03:23.earlier start tonight, as you can see. -- slightly. A couple of tables
:03:24. > :03:26.still to be filled, I shall they will be. No question on a Friday
:03:27. > :03:48.night. The earliest uptime has taken some
:03:49. > :03:52.people by surprise. -- start time. Not your ever professional
:03:53. > :03:58.commentary team of cause. Only half of the commentary team, that's us.
:03:59. > :04:01.They thought it might be a six o'clock start five minutes ago. You
:04:02. > :04:31.are here now though. He was wrestling with a microwave,
:04:32. > :04:37.thinking he had 55 minutes to go. OK, to equal the world record set by
:04:38. > :04:44.and Louise, in the quarter-finals. Trouble is, double top.
:04:45. > :04:54.Each set is the first of three legs, each leg, I'm sure you know must
:04:55. > :04:59.finish with a double. And it is the best of three legs for the
:05:00. > :05:14.. For the first leg, double top required. 132 four Hedman -- for
:05:15. > :05:26.Hedman. Good start, another one of those. Trouble 14 for tops. Oh yes!
:05:27. > :05:28.Not the heaviest of scoring up to that point, but what a finish that
:05:29. > :05:49.is. She reached the 2014 final with a 13
:05:50. > :05:54.to finish -- 132. Double 16 on that occasion. Has that work in Peters up
:05:55. > :06:14.as well? -- needed something like that, a 132.
:06:15. > :06:28.And all of a sudden... The game has woken up.
:06:29. > :06:37.Peters said she is enormously proud of how darts in Denmark is becoming
:06:38. > :06:48.a more and more popular sport, largely thanks to her.
:06:49. > :07:13.Hedman will be first to finish again with the darts.
:07:14. > :07:20.In the men's World Championship of course, we had another Danish player
:07:21. > :07:32.on that stage. This is a much better leg. Double 140. For a two leg lead,
:07:33. > :07:35.first set, single 14 Fortt double 16. She has gone ten double 18 this
:07:36. > :07:56.time. That was the wire. Treble 20 88 to
:07:57. > :08:06.break back. Trouble 13 maybe? Would make the treble 17 but can't now
:08:07. > :08:07.finish. Sloppy. Missed to darts at this, world number three with the
:08:08. > :08:44.charm. Yes, it well. Nice set of darts that from Hedman.
:08:45. > :08:45.Leg of darts, excuse me. This is for the set if she can break the throw
:08:46. > :09:00.here. Spirits are high here. Fabulous
:09:01. > :09:03.evening of darts in prospect. To women's semifinals, two men scored a
:09:04. > :09:42.finals. -- quarter-finals. Filling up, isn't it? It's going to
:09:43. > :09:44.be jampacked. In a next half hour. If it was anything like the
:09:45. > :09:46.atmosphere we had inside the venue this afternoon, it will be a
:09:47. > :09:59.cracker. Level pegging, third leg. They've
:10:00. > :10:04.had to check that the roof is secure after all the noise this afternoon.
:10:05. > :10:16.It has never come close to being blown off. That would have been a
:10:17. > :10:32.bill for Scott Lakes, I think. What a performance.
:10:33. > :10:42.A double top. Got there in the end. His 40th birthday, were guessing.
:10:43. > :11:04.You would expect so, wouldn't you? Neither player on a finish yet.
:11:05. > :11:16.Hedman will hope to lead with a 100 or less.
:11:17. > :11:24.Very useful visit. Just now on a finish, how good a finish will it
:11:25. > :11:48.be? For the set then! Might go tops tops or Micro 14
:11:49. > :11:55.double ten. Single 20, she will go back -- treble four double ten. For
:11:56. > :12:08.her first leg of the match, oh dear. 25. Wrong way around. Hedman will be
:12:09. > :12:11.back to close out the whitewash. One from one, one double top so far four
:12:12. > :12:19.Hedman. To more darts for the set and there
:12:20. > :12:39.is. -- -- two. Impressive set of darts from
:12:40. > :12:50.the third seat. Peters got it all wrong. In that third leg.
:12:51. > :13:56.Good last start, nothing particularly special, average wires,
:13:57. > :14:00.so far. Crucially, Hedman hitting 50% on the doubles. Six to close out
:14:01. > :14:15.the set. The win a enjoy that! Everyone
:14:16. > :14:34.inside enjoy that -- the -- the winner. Actually, that was
:14:35. > :14:37.her first championship so far. We have done a 132, how about a 134?
:14:38. > :14:53.No. She is looking very resigned, is
:14:54. > :15:06.Peters, as she waits for a 10th row. With six darts, if she wants
:15:07. > :15:11.them, and it can be done with two of course. Double top then. For a
:15:12. > :15:35.fourth successive lake. -- leg. Her average coming into this was
:15:36. > :15:45.near on 77. Her average tonight is 75, but it isn't needed to be any
:15:46. > :15:50.higher. Have a look at that. Just the one dart at a double in the very
:15:51. > :16:00.first leg of their semi-final from Peters. For from Hedman, but to be
:16:01. > :16:04.fair she hasn't been under pressure. No, we can expect this from Peters.
:16:05. > :16:15.She has been very brilliant this year. This is way off the best. She
:16:16. > :16:23.beat the second seed in last year 's runner-up. On Sunday afternoon in
:16:24. > :16:31.the first round, followed that up with a victory over Zoe Jones in the
:16:32. > :16:36.quarter-finals. And would have hoped for better in this semi. But at the
:16:37. > :16:41.moment, this semi-final is going exactly the same way as the
:16:42. > :16:48.semi-final between these two two years ago. Hedman one Matu'u-0 --
:16:49. > :17:09.Hedman If there is a crumb of comfort for
:17:10. > :17:11.Peters, it is the fact that Hedman isn't on a finish yet, but she is
:17:12. > :17:30.bound to be when she comes back. Not bad actually, one to six. You
:17:31. > :17:35.can stick around the treble 19 and as long as you hit 55 you are likely
:17:36. > :17:48.to have a dart on the bull 's eye. This would be a hammer blow against
:17:49. > :17:59.the throw. Great start. You do need to hit the big 19 to have that dart
:18:00. > :18:00.at the bull 's eye. Needs something to get her going, perhaps this is
:18:01. > :18:08.it. No. Not happening, is it? Four and
:18:09. > :18:23.Louise -- for Peters. Hedman could win a
:18:24. > :18:28.fifth successive lake here. One dart at double 10-- leg. That is all she
:18:29. > :18:40.needs. She has the darts, and the final
:18:41. > :18:57.insight. It would be wrong, somehow, if she
:18:58. > :19:02.was never crowned world champion. And more and more people are
:19:03. > :19:20.starting to believe that 2016 is her year.
:19:21. > :19:36.Good dart. She is in firm control, Hedman. If you had told me that
:19:37. > :19:39.Peters would lose their semi-final, without throwing more than one dart
:19:40. > :19:43.at a double and not winning a single leg, I would have thought I would be
:19:44. > :20:19.absolutely ridiculous. -- Vass Geoff Smith, Dennis Harper, you
:20:20. > :20:34.could be up soon. Is looking that way, isn't it?
:20:35. > :20:51.Come on! She has left her finish, she still fighting, Peters.
:20:52. > :21:08.Not a good night for her, though. Not yet.
:21:09. > :21:18.It could be all over, here. This for the match in the blink of an eye.
:21:19. > :21:23.She took out 132 early. Treble 18 the shop now. Double 16 for a
:21:24. > :21:40.semi-final whitewash. Stunning . Hedman is into the world final.
:21:41. > :21:46.Peters thought it was the best of five! She can't believe it is over!
:21:47. > :21:55.She thought she had gone to-0 down with three to play -- 2-0. As it is,
:21:56. > :22:02.it is done and dusted. Peters loses, Hedman is into the final. Culliver
:22:03. > :22:06.produced one of the shock upsets of this final, knocking out Lisa
:22:07. > :22:10.Ashton. Amazingly, that gave the nine time world champion the chance
:22:11. > :22:15.to move through to a one championship final. Let's forget her
:22:16. > :22:23.opponent, she was in uncharted territory, it is without doubt was
:22:24. > :22:35.the biggest match of her life. Hedman lies in wait already, she is
:22:36. > :22:41.through to the final. Gulliver beat Ashton in the last round, she had a
:22:42. > :22:48.pretty lean year, and Lisa couldn't buy a double in a particular match.
:22:49. > :22:59.Unexpectedly a rustic, wasn't it from Lisa Ashton? --
:23:00. > :23:15.Lost the semifinals in 2012 and 13, in both occasions to the same
:23:16. > :23:39.player. Gulliver with a big lead with the
:23:40. > :23:45.darts. It was kind of nice, during the war columns, we got a clip --
:23:46. > :23:50.with them is of someone with a jockey mask. The spirit of the great
:23:51. > :23:55.man lives on. Well champion in 82 and 89. Memories flooding back. 126
:23:56. > :24:07.is the first look for Gulliver. If she checks the
:24:08. > :24:12.scoreboard she will see de Graaf miles back. De Graaf was the bookies
:24:13. > :24:18.favourite before the semifinals began. I thought she was going to
:24:19. > :24:21.take some beating this year. But she showed it with a really dominant
:24:22. > :24:33.performance to be the first person to be through to the final, eating
:24:34. > :24:42.Peters of Denmark -- beating. Single 14, double top for the first leg.
:24:43. > :24:45.No. De Graaf is way back with a succession of poor scores. She
:24:46. > :24:49.hasn't really settled into this match yet. All those hours of
:24:50. > :24:55.practice in the players lounge, and a she comes up, not finding
:24:56. > :25:05.anything. Tops for Gulliver. Close, good marker, now double ten. Yes,
:25:06. > :25:15.that was good. Gulliver is away. At the fourth attempt, one of four, de
:25:16. > :25:22.Graaf 's average though is not at all. We are going to tell people
:25:23. > :25:27.what it is. Quite happy with 45. They wouldn't be happy with it that
:25:28. > :25:34.they would probably settle with it -- up they would properly settle
:25:35. > :25:40.with it. Really is a good feel around the place tonight, as you
:25:41. > :25:45.would expect on a Friday night. And the food as well. Everyone is here.
:25:46. > :25:58.It is champagne as well, doing it in style.
:25:59. > :26:06.There will be more if she keeps on going like that, Trina Gulliver.
:26:07. > :26:13.Scott Waites had amazing formance last night against the Belgian. That
:26:14. > :26:17.was simply stunning. The place will be rocking again if Trina Gulliver
:26:18. > :26:25.can roll back the years and fined her place into the final. -- find.
:26:26. > :26:41.2011 was the last one. That was a loose dark. And another one. Not
:26:42. > :26:48.settled at all really, the graph. -- loose dart, the gruff. We didn't
:26:49. > :26:54.expect it to be as one-sided as was we certainly don't expect that
:26:55. > :26:58.tonight. I would be astounded if it does turn out to be one-sided.
:26:59. > :27:14.Gulliver is certainly settled now. 82 for the break. She went for the
:27:15. > :27:24.50. Tops now. 147 for de Graaf. 15 reds, 15 blacks, and all the
:27:25. > :27:37.colours. Seven, double 16 foot Trina Gulliver. MBE I should say. That is
:27:38. > :27:41.not great. She is checking with the referee, seven 88, I suspect. She
:27:42. > :27:52.went three. She made a hash with the 33. Blimey. She laughed as if to
:27:53. > :27:56.say, what on earth was that? It is an opportunity for de Graaf. Double
:27:57. > :28:05.16, she will have two looks if required. And we are back on square
:28:06. > :28:11.one, one apiece. An opportunity gone begging for gullible. Great shot of
:28:12. > :28:18.the Lakeside arena. At the back there. So many famous people,
:28:19. > :28:22.internationally famous, who have appeared in this place over the
:28:23. > :28:29.years. The owner of this place has rubbed shoulders with all aspects of
:28:30. > :28:33.the celebrity world. Any number of photographs around on the walls.
:28:34. > :28:45.People going all the way back to the 1960s. They have all appeared here.
:28:46. > :28:52.Snowwhite is here. Is it snowwhite, or one of those people in Frozen? I
:28:53. > :29:00.don't know. One of those people out of Frozen! Frankly I fell asleep
:29:01. > :29:09.during that one. You can't get away with that with some people. Is that
:29:10. > :29:19.your review for Empire magazine? They loved it, that is all that
:29:20. > :29:22.matters. Hello to all of those. They were here this afternoon. Good
:29:23. > :29:35.effort. The night is not finished yet. Gulliver waiting on the big
:29:36. > :29:57.one. De Graaf looking to apply some pressure. 167, it can be done. Not
:29:58. > :30:07.now though. Everybody is really in party mode tonight. Haven't seen too
:30:08. > :30:26.many glum faces. Gulliver for 108. Popeye. Troubled 19 leave the shop
:30:27. > :30:38.-- shot eighteens. How about that. 108 checkout. Aileen de Graaf can do
:30:39. > :30:41.no more than watch and admire. De Graaf now has to hold or throw if
:30:42. > :30:49.she is going to avoid losing this opening set. There is a real look
:30:50. > :31:07.about Trina Gulliver. Purposeful. De Graaf has seven ranking titles to
:31:08. > :31:10.her name at the moment. And had victory in the Windmill Masters
:31:11. > :31:18.final in October where she beat Lisa Ashton in the final. Good again from
:31:19. > :31:23.Gulliver. Under a bit of pressure. She is playing well. Superior
:31:24. > :31:28.average as well. But this will improve things for de Graaf.
:31:29. > :31:52.Gulliver is averaging over 80 at the moment.
:31:53. > :32:06.Good last dart. She is on a finish, 142. Might need it the way that
:32:07. > :32:18.Gulliver has started. Trouble 20, Paul, double 16. -- Bull. She went
:32:19. > :32:25.for treble 14. Absolutely. Yes. She has wound up with a treble nine.
:32:26. > :32:34.Slight recalculation, and then over the Trina Gulliver. 162. No
:32:35. > :32:39.checkout. This is as good as I have seen Trina Gulliver probe for a long
:32:40. > :32:43.time. Have to go back a year or two since she has performed like this on
:32:44. > :32:55.the stage. This looks like a must take for de Graaf. Double ten.
:32:56. > :33:00.Gulliver is coming back. She is! Gulliver playing some good stuff.
:33:01. > :33:14.She knows this draw is wide open. Why not title number ten? 88. Good
:33:15. > :33:24.throwing. That is the first set in the bag. It is a short format. One
:33:25. > :33:30.more set and she is there. Can you do it Trina? She has her head
:33:31. > :33:35.straight. She is certainly thinking positively and growing well. --
:33:36. > :34:00.throwing. De Graaf's with friend -- where
:34:01. > :34:10.friend. Far be it from me to presume.
:34:11. > :34:28.Steady 60. De Graaf well aware it... Something upsetting Gulliver.
:34:29. > :34:32.Some shouts from the crowd. People are here having their big Friday
:34:33. > :34:44.night, she can hardly expect silence. It is normally very well
:34:45. > :34:52.observed. Rambunctious. Yes. Indeed. We did have a few problems earlier
:34:53. > :34:59.on this afternoon. We did, but I am afraid in darts, it goes through the
:35:00. > :35:04.territory. Doesn't it? There is a tradition of best of order a little
:35:05. > :35:11.more so here are then other places. But the top players have to learn to
:35:12. > :35:16.live with it. Lockett out. It is why some of them play with earplugs.
:35:17. > :35:22.King, former store what of the world championship here, he is one who
:35:23. > :35:26.chooses to block out the noise as much as he can. I think Gary
:35:27. > :35:31.Anderson as well. I read an interesting article on that.
:35:32. > :35:36.Yesterday, or the day before. Ronnie O'Sullivan on darts. He said darts
:35:37. > :35:44.players are the new rock stars. And it should be exactly the same
:35:45. > :35:51.atmosphere at a snooker match. Liam Sullivan, the Australian, said that
:35:52. > :35:57.would be absolutely ridiculous. Well, Ronnie might be able to have
:35:58. > :36:06.it. That is unlucky. She is not happy with that. 187 Gulliver
:36:07. > :36:14.required at the beginning of this. This is a finish for de Graaf. There
:36:15. > :36:23.are options. Looks like she's going for 19s. Trouble 20 would have left
:36:24. > :36:34.14s. Gulliver has had a 108. Can she take a 102 for a break? This is an
:36:35. > :36:37.opportunity. Great first dart. The two might leave tops. Which way
:36:38. > :36:46.Western markets certainly looking at the bottom of the board. Which way?
:36:47. > :36:51.Top cities. Good effort, but not there. 8-foot tops. Or the 16s.
:36:52. > :37:16.Double 16 to strike first. The referee asking for best of
:37:17. > :37:22.order. Just a polite reminder. He runs a taxi office. That is his day
:37:23. > :37:27.job. Used to dealing with all sorts at all times of the day. Some
:37:28. > :37:32.interesting exchanges. He sounds rather posh on the stage. He can
:37:33. > :37:41.sound more Glaswegian in certain circumstances. LAUGHTER. Gulliver
:37:42. > :37:59.has the darts. Nip and tuck so far this second set.
:38:00. > :38:07.Gulliver won a head. This is good throwing again. -- Gulliver, one
:38:08. > :38:21.ahead. That is an extraordinary hat. Just a
:38:22. > :38:29.little wildlife. Was at a woodpecker or something? Some sort of rodent? I
:38:30. > :38:34.am not sure. I don't think it is a rodent. That would be a strange
:38:35. > :38:41.choice in headwear. Mind you, we are at Lakeside for the world darts. You
:38:42. > :38:51.don't expect anything rational do you? It is a bit of a festival of
:38:52. > :38:57.stupid hats. Gulliver, 190. De Graaf has a finish already. Not a
:38:58. > :39:02.particularly inviting one. Great first dart. Looking for another. She
:39:03. > :39:16.has thrown 140, right when she needed it. Three 140s. 88 to take
:39:17. > :39:22.this out. Not this time. Trina Gulliver needs 50 to make it one
:39:23. > :39:37.piece in the second set. She is coming down for the ten. The tops.
:39:38. > :39:45.No! Could this be a momentum shift? Has that feel about it. She just
:39:46. > :39:55.pauses, has a glass of water. She knows this is a key moment. This for
:39:56. > :40:06.a break and two lakes to nil. -- and two -0. You can see how important it
:40:07. > :40:18.was by de Graaf's reaction. Trina's wife shouting her support. Unlucky.
:40:19. > :40:27.Just the wrong side of the way. -- why. Really unlucky. Big moment as
:40:28. > :40:37.well. Seized by de Graaf. Two lakes -0. -- legs. You could say that was
:40:38. > :40:43.pretty unlucky for Trina Gulliver. Fair play to de Graaf after a really
:40:44. > :40:48.sticky start. She is right back into this match. Disk where it up at one
:40:49. > :40:59.set apiece. Big favourite she was to win this. That is more like it. A
:41:00. > :41:18.growl of self encouragement, come on Eileen! Dixie 's midnight runners,
:41:19. > :41:25.wasn't it? -- I was going to save more your hero than mine. Trina has
:41:26. > :41:36.to win this one, or the set will go the way of Aileen de Graaf. Five
:41:37. > :41:43.trouble. Looking good all of a sudden for Aileen de Graaf. Great
:41:44. > :42:10.darts again. Huge lead. Fill it up! A second maximum. Did I
:42:11. > :42:22.say huge lead? Great darts. What a moment to do that. That is terrific.
:42:23. > :42:27.Great set up by de Graaf. Now, Gulliver, 206. What can she produce?
:42:28. > :42:38.She would like to hit that trouble 20 again. Maybe one more. That is
:42:39. > :42:45.brilliant. 180, 125, back to back. For the set... It will have to be
:42:46. > :42:58.trouble 20 now. Which would leave 884 Eileen. -- 88, for de Graaf. Not
:42:59. > :43:05.going to happen. And she is annoyed. 81 she wants. Trouble 15 double 18
:43:06. > :43:10.would be a way to go. She is looking for that part of the board. She has
:43:11. > :43:18.had to settle for a ten. She is on 71, treble 13. Double ten hour. --
:43:19. > :43:31.now. Good darts. That is good shooting. She is certainly not
:43:32. > :43:37.rolling over when Aileen de Graaf moves into position where could she
:43:38. > :43:43.-- she could have just sealed it. Still battling. Wants to get a
:43:44. > :43:53.straight sets win. It looks meaner Trina at Lakeside this year. The
:43:54. > :44:02.Golden goal means business. -- Golden girl. Great contest. Could go
:44:03. > :44:09.either way. The first semi-final was a bit of it them squeak. Deta Hedman
:44:10. > :44:11.just romped home. This is altogether more competitive. What you want to
:44:12. > :44:31.see. Switching down for 19s again. Another solid visit. That is a bit
:44:32. > :44:54.unlucky. So close to being 140. Not happy with that. Really
:44:55. > :45:05.threatened the trouble. -- treble. Needed a better cover shot than
:45:06. > :45:19.that. A bit of a sticky leg, this one. Struggling to find a treble.
:45:20. > :45:26.Wesley Harms loves his darts. It may have gone out of this competition,
:45:27. > :45:32.but he is still there and enjoying it. The Dutchman, a good thrower.
:45:33. > :45:38.Has he missed a session? I don't think he has. He absolutely loves
:45:39. > :45:46.it. If he is not playing, he wants to be watching. No finish for
:45:47. > :45:52.Gulliver. But she will be looking to set up a nice one if she gets the
:45:53. > :46:00.opportunity. 65 so far. And another 57.
:46:01. > :46:10.Fabulous start. This will take the roof off. Good effort. Now, Trina
:46:11. > :46:18.Gulliver to square up the match. She wants 50. Tops now. She has not hit
:46:19. > :46:30.one in eight shots. If she is going to have a chance in this set, she
:46:31. > :46:44.surely has to get this. No. For the break and the set. Two 13s. She
:46:45. > :46:53.composes, deep breath. Nails that! We are into the decider. Trina
:46:54. > :47:10.Gulliver has the darts. If it goes as far as 2-2, they got the sudden
:47:11. > :47:15.death. -- go to. Cheers. I rather think he was going to try and do the
:47:16. > :47:25.old down on one day. He had that look about him. -- down in one
:47:26. > :47:33.there. I have come across the odd lunatic like that over the years. I
:47:34. > :47:50.am sure. A third maximum. De Graaf has not had one yet. Trina, Trina,
:47:51. > :48:03.the shout went up. Firing off each other here. The deciding set. Coming
:48:04. > :48:09.down the board. Well, a little opportunity perhaps for de Graaf. A
:48:10. > :48:20.one set shooed out now for a place in the world championship final. --
:48:21. > :48:28.shootout. Nothing in it. Gulliver, nine times the winner of the world
:48:29. > :48:39.title. Great darts, lots of space. Now she has to come away. Doesn't
:48:40. > :48:54.need the, one. What great darts! Trouble 18, and it has set up the
:48:55. > :49:05.finish. 44. Great last dart. She has only had 12 darts. Double 16 for a
:49:06. > :49:11.14 darts. That is top quality. The 174 did it. That second 20 was
:49:12. > :49:20.hanging Paris Lee out. And then she shot for a trouble 18. Which set up
:49:21. > :49:27.that. A nice moment as well. The referee is having this competition.
:49:28. > :49:31.Who gets the most 174 two. His idea as well, Anthony. Just because he
:49:32. > :49:43.likes saying it. And that was his first. I sensed he delivered it with
:49:44. > :49:49.a bit of indecent relish. LAUGHTER. Talking of indecent relish, there is
:49:50. > :49:54.a fair amount of food being consumed here. Not necessarily the sort of
:49:55. > :49:59.thing you would be hunting out if you are on a diet. Royalty! They are
:50:00. > :50:17.all in. Oliver, 320. She is putting the de
:50:18. > :50:27.Graaf throw under a bit of pressure. Unlucky. One is having a really nice
:50:28. > :50:44.time here today. Her Majesty looks a little stone at the back there. She
:50:45. > :50:51.likes the darts. Good shot. -- a little stern. Harry turns up on
:50:52. > :50:56.occasion. It strikes me as his type of thing. Not shy of having a night
:50:57. > :51:04.out. There is Dennis Harbour. What a good tournament he has had. Great
:51:05. > :51:12.start earlier. That is outstanding from de Graaf. Leaving her on 68.
:51:13. > :51:19.Gulliver had her under pressure, but she has just faded. She could do
:51:20. > :51:32.with another... 65 she scored. So she is on 155. May elect to come
:51:33. > :51:46.down the board. Or possibly even use the bulls. This fall 1-1 in the
:51:47. > :51:55.decider. 16. Double 16. No. Gulliver has had to 100 plus checkouts.
:51:56. > :52:02.Nothing as big as 146, though. Good set up. Really good. Fabulous
:52:03. > :52:14.starts. This pressure. This has to go. Double 16. 88. Has to land.
:52:15. > :52:18.Trina Gulliver couldn't watch. Now, if she is going to win this match,
:52:19. > :52:31.this might be an absolutely imperative checkout. She has got it!
:52:32. > :52:36.Gulliver checks out and is one leg away from a place in the final. That
:52:37. > :52:42.reaction as well from de Graaf, a shake of the head. A little Motta.
:52:43. > :52:47.As if to say to herself she can't believe she might be losing this
:52:48. > :52:50.match. Losing it she is. Gulliver is not only getting more doubles, she
:52:51. > :52:58.is scoring more heavily, and she is within a leg of it drift. -- of
:52:59. > :53:03.victory. The Golden girl is finding some of her best form. Time.
:53:04. > :53:11.Certainly for the last year or so. And her best form here for at least
:53:12. > :53:20.three or four years. Look at that! What a story this could be. Real
:53:21. > :53:33.danger signs. Could be an early bath for de Graaf. Yes. Good shot. When
:53:34. > :53:37.you think of the first match against Bateman, when she was somewhere in
:53:38. > :53:48.the 60s on average for much of the match. She looks like a different
:53:49. > :53:53.woman now. 187 for Gulliver. Closing in. Trying to set it up. She is in
:53:54. > :54:03.the zone at the moment. Coming down. Excellent. This is it. Gulliver
:54:04. > :54:12.waiting on 88. Has to be a huge visit. And then a cross of the
:54:13. > :54:17.fingers. Will she be back? 88 for Gulliver. Will she get a chance? 18
:54:18. > :54:20.would leave the bull's-eye, if she decides to go that way. Trouble 18
:54:21. > :54:34.would leave the seven. Bull's-eye to win! Good effort. Right, de Graaf
:54:35. > :54:48.has to get this. Slipsliding away from the number four seed. Nine, 88.
:54:49. > :54:58.88 now. 44. Trina Gulliver has got it! The most famous player in the
:54:59. > :55:04.history of the women's game, at the age of 46, has beaten one of the new
:55:05. > :55:11.generation. Aileen de Graaf. Playing some of the best darts she has for a
:55:12. > :55:20.long time. A very popular winner. She is loved by the darting
:55:21. > :55:30.fraternity. Well played, Trina Gulliver! Jeff Smith has won himself
:55:31. > :55:34.an army of -- supporters. He had his name chanted in this legendary
:55:35. > :55:39.Lakeside arena. Would this be the case again? We will have to find out
:55:40. > :55:46.as he took on Dennis Harbour. Only his 13th appearance in 13 years. He
:55:47. > :55:54.had never been this far. Could he usurp the mighty Canadian?
:55:55. > :56:05.Is looking very cool, calm, composed championships this year. Dennis
:56:06. > :56:11.Harbour. He has. Made a very favourable impression.
:56:12. > :56:20.I think Dennis Harbour is going to give him a bit of trouble. The has
:56:21. > :56:29.accounted for a couple of seeds already. Dennis is 54, and has four
:56:30. > :56:34.grandchildren. He beat the quickfire Welshmen, the number 10 seed, Jeff
:56:35. > :56:39.Smith has beaten Mathieu Meadows in a prelim match. And then Martin
:56:40. > :56:49.Adams. And then the Yorkshireman, Brian Dawson.
:56:50. > :57:01.He beat Jeffrey de Graaf to win the open title.
:57:02. > :57:16.He went on to win the Scottish open in 2014. Dennis Harbour, isn't it?
:57:17. > :57:22.Yeah. The Harbour Master. He has loved his time here. I don't think
:57:23. > :57:42.he has ever featured in as many selfies and signed as many autograph
:57:43. > :57:49.as he has today. Brilliant. The first match with Jeff Smith is under
:57:50. > :57:55.way. Touching distance. 41 when he returns. Harbour can do no more than
:57:56. > :58:17.applying pressure which he is doing well at. First, a chance for Jeff
:58:18. > :58:28.Smith. 88. Not this time. 106 required from Dennis Harbour. A
:58:29. > :58:49.single. Jeff Smith will get another chance. 58. 44. No score. Rights,
:58:50. > :59:03.48. He will fancy this one. -- Right. A little bit of nerves.
:59:04. > :59:14.Double top now. Good start. A nice, solid start from the veteran.
:59:15. > :59:21.Getting the cheers he deserves. First lad to Dennis Harbour. Is
:59:22. > :59:34.first a period at the Lakeside. -- blood. -- His first appearance. A
:59:35. > :59:41.run of form. There is a ton 40 to emphasise the point. I think it will
:59:42. > :59:54.be an excellent match. It could go all the way. We will see. The winner
:59:55. > :59:57.of it will be playing either Scott Mitchell or Richard Veenstra, the
:59:58. > :00:08.Dutchman, who will be in action later on. 44. Jeff Smith was a warm
:00:09. > :00:14.favourite with the house oches to win this match. -- bookies. A lot of
:00:15. > :00:24.money. 43-1 when the tournament started. Backed him right down to a
:00:25. > :00:31.bout three -1. -- about. Did you maintain your impartiality or have
:00:32. > :00:39.you had a flutter? I put my hand in my pocket. Surely it was impossible
:00:40. > :00:47.to leave with a man of your generosity and standing. 96. A last
:00:48. > :01:01.start must be placed on the throw with the break. -- dart. Trying to
:01:02. > :01:13.tee it up. Trying to find a bridge to the treble 20. Steady darts at
:01:14. > :01:27.the moment. Just getting over the nerves. 56. Dennis Harbour is on a
:01:28. > :01:38.steady finish. Jeff isn't. Treble 20, his first dart. The contrast in
:01:39. > :01:47.throwing of Jeff Smith and Dennis Harbour is incredible. As it was
:01:48. > :02:02.with Martin Phillips. There is no 58 with Jeff Smith. 2- 4-6. Agents for
:02:03. > :02:14.the second. -- A chance. 18. Double top. Oh, nice shooting. Two doubles
:02:15. > :02:21.out of two. He has made a good, solid start, has Dennis Harbour. The
:02:22. > :02:36.old master. Two out of two for the doubles. A big, wide shaft he has on
:02:37. > :02:47.these darts, doesn't he? He has. Have a look at it. Big guards. John
:02:48. > :02:55.Lowe style. -- darts. A big group, stubby fingers. A solid start. --
:02:56. > :02:59.grip. That is better from Jeff Smith. Jeff Smith, moving up to the
:03:00. > :03:33.oche now. 140! Yeah, there is two. 140. Jeff
:03:34. > :03:41.Smith is the favourite on this. Is the row is under pressure again. --
:03:42. > :03:46.His throw. He has no check out if Jay Farber gets 140 here which he is
:03:47. > :03:55.capable of doing. -- checkout. That was a loose one. -- Dennis Harbour.
:03:56. > :04:06.Great darts. Beautifully placed now. 96, a good checkout. A shot for Jeff
:04:07. > :04:16.Smith. Is he takes this Dennis Harbour has won the set. -- If.
:04:17. > :04:24.Treble 18. So deliberate. Treble 19 would leave double 18 now. Closer.
:04:25. > :04:33.So, Smith with 18 to get into the match at last. OK, Jeff Smith, you
:04:34. > :04:42.have come a long way. Try to get this one. 20 and double top. Dennis
:04:43. > :04:51.Harbour will acquire 60. Is like twitch on that double. -- require.
:04:52. > :05:07.-- a slight. Tops. I don't think anything in the world would throw.
:05:08. > :05:15.That set is in the bag. First leg, Dennis. Now, with the darts in the
:05:16. > :05:22.second set. This is for a place in the semifinals. Smith just needs to
:05:23. > :05:32.rouse himself, needs to stir Dennis Harbour. The doubles, three out of
:05:33. > :05:52.three. 121. Right on the out scoring. One.
:05:53. > :06:19.140. APPLAUSE.
:06:20. > :06:30.100. Tons apiece. But, Dennis Harbour, really taking this match
:06:31. > :06:52.apart at the moment. There we go. 100. 1-2-1. A finish of 140 with
:06:53. > :07:00.nine darts. That is the pedigree of Dennis Harbour at the moment. With
:07:01. > :07:12.the seven. 140 is needed for the opening leg. Good dart. Another 14
:07:13. > :07:25.double ten. A great dart. Double ten for a checkout. How about that?
:07:26. > :07:31.Putting. Four doubles out of four. -- APPLAUSE. Verities. -- There it
:07:32. > :07:47.is. 6-5 to win the Scottish open in
:07:48. > :07:56.February, 2014. You don't beat Glen by chance, do you? A thriller from
:07:57. > :08:02.the Miller. Coming up just short against Scott Waites in a thrilling
:08:03. > :08:06.match. Scott Waites is very much a figure in this as he has moved to
:08:07. > :08:15.the last four and some might say that he is the man to beat. He also
:08:16. > :08:27.beat Tom you shed and Jim Williams to win the national title. -- O'
:08:28. > :08:34.Shea. Yeah. He is no respector of reputation. Arguably having one of
:08:35. > :08:39.the best years of his dieting life. -- darting. Look at that again. At
:08:40. > :08:47.beautiful cover shot. He is one to watch. I know some people like to
:08:48. > :08:55.see the darts going in at a rapid pace. But, Dennis Harbour is
:08:56. > :09:03.averaging over 103 now. And Jeff Smith is tapping his darts now out
:09:04. > :09:21.of frustration, as you can see. He just cannot get in a rhythm. 140!
:09:22. > :09:27.He said in the interview when we spoke to him before that he was not
:09:28. > :09:37.going to be worried. It certainly looks like it is at the moment. 93
:09:38. > :09:45.for Dennis Harbour now. 2-0. A break at the end of this set. How much
:09:46. > :09:54.Jeff Smith would love to be back on level terms. Double 16. Goodness me,
:09:55. > :09:59.he has missed one. The first one in five. Yeah, but Jeff Smith is still
:10:00. > :10:08.on 200. At least three darts for double 16 once again. I have played
:10:09. > :10:23.against him. Double 16. Good shooting by Jeff Smith. Not knowing
:10:24. > :10:57.particularly well there, Tony. A great shot. -- lying. His finishing
:10:58. > :11:02.has been exact. Here we go. Only -- any Tony Greene masks out there?
:11:03. > :11:08.Only outside. (LAUGHING). Your public awaits. A
:11:09. > :11:14.different start from Jeff Smith. He just isn't getting into this game. A
:11:15. > :11:18.leg away from going two sets down. That would be an upset. People were
:11:19. > :11:23.starting to think that just with was a potential winner in this. He isn't
:11:24. > :11:28.winning now and Dennis Harbour definitely is. He is averaging, at
:11:29. > :11:41.this stage, over 104. Is opening Macs. -- His opening maximum. Smith
:11:42. > :11:47.will have to get off stage, assuming he loses this set, and have a real
:11:48. > :11:54.rethink. If he carries on like this he will be beaten... And beaten by a
:11:55. > :12:02.distance. Well, Dennis Harbour, 2014, beat lender and, 6-5, to win
:12:03. > :12:08.the Scottish open. -- Glen Durrant. Once again, he has that pedigree. He
:12:09. > :12:15.just 96 now, Dennis Harbour. And he is poised, two darts away. And Smith
:12:16. > :12:22.is in a different street. And that is for throwing. He might have said
:12:23. > :12:27.he would not be upset by the pace of things. -- poor. But you could have
:12:28. > :12:31.fooled me. This is emphatically a Dennis Harbour match. Smith will
:12:32. > :12:41.have to change something radically if he wants to get into it. No
:12:42. > :12:48.change now. Back 376. Yeah, he is seeing the harbour lights. Wants
:12:49. > :13:07.double top. Jeff Smith, sitting on 236. A good marker. Yeah. He is
:13:08. > :13:18.growing so well. That is doubles out of nine. And, Dennis Harbour,
:13:19. > :13:22.averaging over 102. Leads to nil. Smith needs to start scoring heavily
:13:23. > :13:26.and put himself into a position to start winning some of these legs. He
:13:27. > :13:42.needs to match the scoring power of Dennis Harbour pre-break.
:13:43. > :13:55.45. Almost the first loose the road he has had. -- throw.
:13:56. > :14:08.140. APPLAUSE. I have warmed to Jeff
:14:09. > :14:13.Smith. Tremendous support when he played Brian Dawson. So far, he has
:14:14. > :14:33.not given to much to cheer about. Looking for his second 180. 140. And
:14:34. > :14:36.that... 81. Where is the big, bad wolf. He was knocked out in the
:14:37. > :14:47.first round by Jeff Smith. That is where he is. Plenty of fancy
:14:48. > :14:53.dresses. An extraordinary array of silly hats and wigs and false noses,
:14:54. > :15:05.false ears, and a bit of birthday stuff as well. Joe, back home,
:15:06. > :15:23.celebrating his 13th birthday, happy birthday, young man. And another
:15:24. > :15:26.one, 20, Jeff. A study in concentration, Dennis Harbour. Let's
:15:27. > :15:36.see if Jeff Smith can turn things around. Well, we will see. There is
:15:37. > :15:45.the 20. Double top! Well, the wristy answer. Yeah, he has no checkout, no
:15:46. > :15:54.Dennis Harbour. -- there is the. Dennis Harbour can make it a must
:15:55. > :16:03.take. Jeff Smith may get his first leg here. I would love to see it. He
:16:04. > :16:06.is a very nice guy. Don't want him to go on legless. Perrish the
:16:07. > :16:30.thought. -- Perish. The you are, John. Happy. -- There.
:16:31. > :16:34.I am happy. I want to at least see him doing justice. As a commentator,
:16:35. > :16:41.you don't want somebody, one way or the other, to win, but you want the
:16:42. > :16:46.guy who wins to beat the other guy who is playing well. This is a good
:16:47. > :16:54.start from Dennis Harbour. That is more like it. Happy days! 180! A
:16:55. > :17:23.second maximum. A lovely sight. Oh... Anything you
:17:24. > :17:31.can do, I can do just the same. Again, so many lights in this
:17:32. > :17:37.match. -- delights. Smith, having made a great start and going ahead,
:17:38. > :17:43.now he sees Dennis Harbour going into the distance. He can set it up
:17:44. > :17:52.here. A great dart again. He has only had seven. That one is loose.
:17:53. > :18:05.Also, he... Not a happy boy with that. 125. A great last dart.
:18:06. > :18:27.97. Right, 56 for Dennis. A grandad. Tops. Not been missing too
:18:28. > :18:39.many. Six out of ten so far. This time he cannot find it. Treble
:18:40. > :18:52.20... Yeah... Treble a team leads the bull. He has a shot now for the
:18:53. > :19:00.bull. And he has got it! -- leaves. What an out shot. Under pressure.
:19:01. > :19:13.1-0 on his throw here and he is back in the game. A glassy
:19:14. > :19:21.-- classy checkout. Still averaging over airtime. Plenty of room. --
:19:22. > :19:38.over a They should put dartboards in school
:19:39. > :19:45.to help children with the arithmetic. There is someone with a
:19:46. > :20:07.risk you. I haven't seen one of those in a while. -- Rubik's cube.
:20:08. > :20:17.We will keep you in touch with that to see if he can actually solve the
:20:18. > :20:39.puzzle. OK. Jeff Smith. 204. A good start. -- dart. 99. Good thinking.
:20:40. > :20:52.Everyone with the 180 shirts on. Look at this. This will rattle the
:20:53. > :21:04.finish for Dennis Harbour now. 167. Treble 90. It won't be this time.
:21:05. > :21:14.So, Jeff, 68, and a chance. This is for the set, Tony. A good last dart.
:21:15. > :21:23.68 is a good set up by Dennis Harbour there. Double ton. Eight
:21:24. > :21:34.could take. Into the match. That is more like the dart player we know.
:21:35. > :21:39.-- a good take. After a poor start to this match, Smith... Well, having
:21:40. > :21:49.said that, Dennis Harbour was playing so well. Anyway, he is now
:21:50. > :21:59.into it. We have a match. 60. That is one of a many great matches in
:22:00. > :22:06.Lakeside over the years. 97. A great match this afternoon. I wonder if we
:22:07. > :22:09.will have more of the same here. Smith really got into his gear after
:22:10. > :22:20.a pretty shabby second set averaging less than 70. 102.5, that is good.
:22:21. > :22:24.Shaun was a round last week. I was wondering if we might get him to
:22:25. > :22:35.come. Wayne Mardle was in the building last night. A big supporter
:22:36. > :22:52.of the BDO. A youngster. Andy Thorn and tells me he is coming back here
:22:53. > :23:01.on Sunday. -- Andy Fornham. Darts' answer to Chewbacca. There is always
:23:02. > :23:11.a place for Andy. Hugely popular with the crowd. A great champion as
:23:12. > :23:20.well. Good darts. Outstanding. 174, as good as a maximum. And, our match
:23:21. > :23:26.referee is here. We will have a competition between the referees as
:23:27. > :23:35.to who can have the most 174s to call. You don't get them very often.
:23:36. > :23:50.This is his first one. He remains poker-faced. But inside he will be
:23:51. > :23:58.delighted. 60. That is not what is required. 110 remaining. Now, Dennis
:23:59. > :24:14.Harbour. And his coroner to make that 110 a must take. -- Can he
:24:15. > :24:28.score enough. A good dart. OK. Treble 20. Yeah. Treble 17. Would
:24:29. > :24:38.have left double top. 78. A good last dart, wasn't it? It was. 91,
:24:39. > :24:45.then, for Dennis Harbour to get out of a tricky position. Tops now. For
:24:46. > :24:51.the leg. A minor adjustment. Smith doesn't want to watch. Now he does.
:24:52. > :24:59.In it goes. Seven doubles out of 13. Dennis Harbour, having been under
:25:00. > :25:07.threat, manages to hold his throw. What a week with Dennis Harbour. A
:25:08. > :25:12.great finisher. Good temperament. A really steady head out the. --
:25:13. > :25:32.there. Plenty around Cambridgeshire very
:25:33. > :25:36.happy at his continued progress and the way he has played. All this
:25:37. > :25:41.makes down there will be hoping he can prevail. Jeff Smith getting a
:25:42. > :25:45.lot of support from the other side of the Atlantic. Hundreds of
:25:46. > :25:59.messages encouraging him from Canada. The communications can come
:26:00. > :26:06.across very quickly. It is not hundreds, it is thousands. I don't
:26:07. > :26:35.know when he finds the time to read them all. Very good with his cover
:26:36. > :26:42.shots, if he could get a 140 he would be in a good position. Dennis
:26:43. > :26:56.managed to get over the top. This is a good leg, 140, 100, plus these.
:26:57. > :27:03.That was classy. 121, a very makeable checkout. He has already
:27:04. > :27:08.had a 140, Dennis Harbour. He will fancy his chances of getting that.
:27:09. > :27:16.This is not too clever from Smith. How much did he need the treble now?
:27:17. > :27:20.He has won. 121. He starts off on tops. Aiming for treble 20, if he
:27:21. > :27:28.gets the single, it will be triple 17. Triple 17 would lead the
:27:29. > :27:34.bull's-eye. Not this time, Smith will come back, looking for one to
:27:35. > :27:48.four. Harbour deciding what that she wants to leave himself. It is not
:27:49. > :28:00.too good. Treble 20, first. Triple 18 for the bull. It is the bull! Am
:28:01. > :28:08.lucky! Harbour two -nil. This would be against the throw and this would
:28:09. > :28:17.hurt Smith. Another one of those would let you double 16. This is
:28:18. > :28:27.four double 16. Look at that concentration. He can't believe it.
:28:28. > :28:37.37 for Smith. Looking at the top, he will take five and double 16. 88.
:28:38. > :28:43.After a mighty struggle, he manages to hold his throne. Guinness regard
:28:44. > :28:59.that as an opportunity missed. Should have taken that one out. --
:29:00. > :29:15.Dennis. He leads 2-1 in sets. One apiece and this is the fourth set.
:29:16. > :29:22.The first time for quite awhile, Harbour's average has gone to two
:29:23. > :29:29.figures. He was over a 100 now he is 99. Smith is improving, meanwhile.
:29:30. > :29:34.With darts like that. You would think Jeff is the fit of the two. It
:29:35. > :30:05.might be a factor because it will get very warm up there. 100. No
:30:06. > :30:15.damage done as Burroughes wrote to his concerned. Nothing between them
:30:16. > :30:26.and he has got the throw. Dennis's partner in the audience, Lana,
:30:27. > :30:33.watching tonight. There she is. Dennis, at the moment still ahead.
:30:34. > :30:50.Heathrow is under some pressure. -- he throws. Smith is on a finish.
:30:51. > :30:57.Still a lot to do, has Dennis. Does not like the way that one is lying.
:30:58. > :31:08.Having to switch down. A good switch. He will not be worried about
:31:09. > :31:21.that. Classy darts, Smith is on a finish. 164. Can't be done now, that
:31:22. > :31:35.was only a single. Great last dark. OK, Dennis. Take it away. -- dart.
:31:36. > :31:51.Went for the bull on the 25. Jepson, 75. Leading the finishes. A great
:31:52. > :32:06.time to produce that. 75 Smith. Great dart, double 12. High quality.
:32:07. > :32:13.A break of throw and Smith with the darts to level the match at two sets
:32:14. > :32:19.a piece. It is the match that deserves to go all the way. It did
:32:20. > :32:24.not look like it was going to in the first couple of sets. He looks like
:32:25. > :32:35.he was trying with somebody else's arms. -- throwing. Some hot news
:32:36. > :32:50.from the audience. This is big. The rubric cube has been solved! --
:32:51. > :32:58.Rubik. Top sunglasses as well. He will have to watch the darts now.
:32:59. > :33:11.Jeff will not be happy with that school. -- score. Dennis's game has
:33:12. > :33:22.gone off the boil compared to earlier in the match. He started
:33:23. > :33:31.quite brilliantly. Did not give Jeff a squeak in the first couple of
:33:32. > :33:47.sets. There we go, come on, Dennis. A treble. Put the other two there
:33:48. > :33:55.now. Just checking his score. He has left himself to 16. He is heard but
:33:56. > :33:58.no finish as yet. He is in a position where you might be
:33:59. > :34:11.optimistic of finding a breakthrough. No joy for Smith. He
:34:12. > :34:21.would be pleased. That was unlucky. He is blocking the way. Any
:34:22. > :34:29.advantage she has is gone now. There is no finish, 174. He needs this
:34:30. > :34:40.lake for the set. Great darts. Brilliant darts. He has left self
:34:41. > :34:46.double 18 to win the set. Harbour can do no more than put him in a
:34:47. > :34:52.position where he has to get that or it is good night. Great darts from
:34:53. > :35:03.score but too late because Smith comes looking for double 18. That is
:35:04. > :35:11.the outshot, double 16. Double 18 he takes. He gets it and is now on
:35:12. > :35:18.label terms. Smith, two, Harbour, two. Smith after a miserable start
:35:19. > :35:31.comes back to square at the match at two sets each. -- up. We know that
:35:32. > :35:45.you know double 16 is not in the top right-hand corner. It is a great
:35:46. > :35:53.match. It is a match of two halves. A break at the end of the seat and
:35:54. > :36:00.who is going to be heard? Smith or Harbour. More likely to be Smith
:36:01. > :36:10.now. He has got the tide going with him, at the moment. He is pushing
:36:11. > :36:29.it. Should be Dennis pushing the boat out. Bad habits and good habits
:36:30. > :36:33.are always welcome at the lakeside. I wonder if the bishop is here
:36:34. > :36:42.tonight. He has been wandering around, most of the week. I suspect
:36:43. > :36:45.he is not a real one. Not that there is any reason why the ecclesiastical
:36:46. > :36:51.part of society should not appreciate the darts. They probably
:36:52. > :37:06.don't coming macro full regalia. He is definitely not a bishop. Nothing
:37:07. > :37:14.going in this league. Smith is ahead. Dennis with the throw. --
:37:15. > :37:28.leg. He has become becalmed judging by
:37:29. > :37:31.his elevated standards from earlier. No checkout from Smith. Good first
:37:32. > :37:48.arts, in the 25. Unlucky. Has to really get into this now, has
:37:49. > :37:55.Dennis. He has slipped, started off like a train.
:37:56. > :38:09.To hold his dart. Jeff Smith needs 85. He is looking for the 25. He
:38:10. > :38:21.needs triple 17. He will convert. A big finish. 140. He has had at once.
:38:22. > :38:34.Not this time. Bigshot now for Smith. Double 16. Dinners can only
:38:35. > :38:39.live in hope. -- Dennis. Smith had a miserable time with his doubles
:38:40. > :38:46.early on. He is hitting them now. It would be a shock if he did not take
:38:47. > :38:58.this out. Double 16. He takes it. They had in the fifth leg. -- ahead.
:38:59. > :39:05.A clinch of the first as he does so. He is viewed in the match for the
:39:06. > :39:08.first time. He deserves to be, he stuck it out, took the punishment in
:39:09. > :39:17.the first couple of sets. Now feeling the benefit. It felt like he
:39:18. > :39:22.was just throwing a view practice darts, he gave his head a shake and
:39:23. > :39:32.he has come back looking like a different guy. Together to clean cut
:39:33. > :39:43.to give his head a shake. Literally. This is going in. Is he coming back
:39:44. > :39:50.to life? He is with that throat. Harry Butler, the American watching
:39:51. > :39:55.with his wife, Sharon. He has been either here many times. Lovely darts
:39:56. > :40:16.from another lovely lad for top. Is he going to get the break he
:40:17. > :40:26.wants? Come on, Dennis. 225 required. Harbour not at the finish
:40:27. > :40:31.yet, 195. Smith will be first to the checkout. Should be. He will be. OK,
:40:32. > :40:57.Dennis. Finish that 195 full top. 180 now. 144, another leg for Smith.
:40:58. > :41:07.Unable to hit the treble seed needed. The best check out of the
:41:08. > :41:18.match, good start. He is throwing well now. Lovely to watch. He will
:41:19. > :41:26.have to really give it everything to get the double treble.
:41:27. > :41:41.Unfortunately, no. Jeff Smith coming back. Keeping cool and keeping calm.
:41:42. > :41:50.Keeping his head. That's it. Double 10. Seconds lake for Smith. He goes
:41:51. > :42:03.ahead for the first time. He has got the throw. Looking now for a three
:42:04. > :42:13.legs -nil end to the set. Not a great start. Harbour was averaging
:42:14. > :42:15.over a 100 for the first 2.5 sets. He has gone off the boil. This is
:42:16. > :42:48.more like it. Dennis can put the throw under some
:42:49. > :42:55.pressure. He did not go straight through with the first art. No
:42:56. > :43:09.fluency. The family Guy, Steve Bunting. That is his per signup. --
:43:10. > :43:16.persona. A great shot from Smith. They are well up there now. It is
:43:17. > :43:31.looking very long for Dennis. What a response. Yes! You cannot keep them
:43:32. > :43:42.down. 188 piece. Harbour will have first crack at and out. A very
:43:43. > :43:52.makeable checkout. 20 is his first shop. Going for treble but gets a
:43:53. > :44:13.single. Triple 17. Bull's-eye! Good effort. Triple 10. -- treble. Double
:44:14. > :44:22.16. He has done it. He has done it indeed. He wins the set. Jeff Smith
:44:23. > :44:33.has turned it around. He Leeds to buy three sets-2. -- leads. An
:44:34. > :44:39.impressive comeback from Jeff Smith. His early darts were quite rank.
:44:40. > :44:45.Dennis Harbour poured on the power, took the first two sets, with Smith
:44:46. > :44:49.Bierley making a mayor as far as the match was concerned. After the first
:44:50. > :44:56.break, Smith came back with renewed purpose and took three on the spin.
:44:57. > :45:03.The momentum is now definitely going with the Canadian. Dennis Harbour so
:45:04. > :45:08.slow and McDonald -- methodical. Smith is hitting the numbers early
:45:09. > :45:14.on. Earlier, only averaging in the 70s but he has put some big scores
:45:15. > :45:22.and averaging over 90. Harbour was averaging a ton plus, now down to
:45:23. > :45:26.95. Smith seems as though he is the one who senses he might be able to
:45:27. > :45:35.you merge from this victorious. Still a long way to go. Are you
:45:36. > :45:42.enjoying a? I really am. Funny what a break can do. You sensed, that if
:45:43. > :45:48.this match was played straight through, Dennis Harbour may have won
:45:49. > :45:55.by now. A totally different chip Smith came back on stage, following
:45:56. > :46:05.the first break. Let us see what happens after the second. Good shot
:46:06. > :46:11.there, and another. Not a lot of finish yet but he is not far off.
:46:12. > :46:35.Harbour straightaway is being pressured.
:46:36. > :46:46.75, when he comes back to take the opening leg against the darts.
:46:47. > :47:08.180 would be nice. 140 would have aided the course, let us see what
:47:09. > :47:14.Smith can do. Double top for the league against the throw. Can
:47:15. > :47:33.Harbour respond and get himself out of the mire? -- leg. He needs a
:47:34. > :47:42.triple 24 88. Single sixteens. Again this is against the throw. 10, now.
:47:43. > :47:55.He was hitting these doubles so confidently. He sees as an early
:47:56. > :47:59.advantage in the fourth set. -- Caesar's. This is to take a place in
:48:00. > :48:19.the semi-final. The Harbour Master needs to put a
:48:20. > :48:23.few of those triples in again. -- trebles. That is more like it.
:48:24. > :48:39.Smile, it is only darts. You say only darts, for these guys
:48:40. > :48:46.it is not only darts. Getting to the business end of this championship. A
:48:47. > :48:49.place in the last four at stake. Not just that but an invitation back
:48:50. > :49:01.next year if you reach the semifinals. Hold that thought! He
:49:02. > :49:05.needed that. The fourth for Dennis Harbour. The other thing, if you get
:49:06. > :49:13.through to the semifinals, and extra eight and a half thousand pounds.
:49:14. > :49:19.Six and a half for the losing quarter-finalist, 15 for the two
:49:20. > :49:26.losing semifinalists. Leaving you closer to the ?100,000 jackpot for
:49:27. > :49:29.the winner. Scott Mitchell, the defending champion is in action
:49:30. > :49:40.against the Dutch player later. He made a good impression on his debut.
:49:41. > :49:47.This could be the biggest comeback of the tournament. I am at the
:49:48. > :50:15.darts, she is texting, can't talk now. Harbour on 167. A difficult
:50:16. > :50:25.position, 152 for Smith. Double 16. Just the wrong side of the board. I
:50:26. > :50:32.think he thought that was in. I was halfway out of my seat. Two darts at
:50:33. > :50:43.double 18 for Dennis Harbour to level the set. Needs one of these.
:50:44. > :50:47.Must get this. He does not get it. He will be punished now. I will be
:50:48. > :50:55.surprised at Smith does not take this out. He is starting to notch
:50:56. > :51:02.them when it counts. To keep the momentum going, he is 2-0 up.
:51:03. > :51:13.Heeding for his fourth set on the spin. They called on the Harbour
:51:14. > :51:23.Master but it he is at see right now. The first leg of the fourth set
:51:24. > :51:35.was the last time he won a leg. This is the sexy, Smith, 2-0 up. Dennis
:51:36. > :51:46.has run out of gas. What a start for this one. He looks so good for the
:51:47. > :51:54.first two sets, Dennis Harbour. He is physically fit when it is so warm
:51:55. > :51:56.up there, that is an advantage. Jeff Smith seems to be staying the paste
:51:57. > :52:12.the better. -- pace. Jeff Smith has worked for many years
:52:13. > :52:18.and a car restoration business. In the last year he has bought the
:52:19. > :52:23.business. This gives them more time to practise as darts. Makes them
:52:24. > :52:30.more comfortable financially. He can travel a little more. It takes the
:52:31. > :52:35.pressure off the darts he does play. It is all going right for him off
:52:36. > :52:46.the dartboard. When it was all going right off the dartboard, it goes
:52:47. > :52:51.right on the dark board. -- dartboard. Does he work on the old
:52:52. > :53:03.classics, the 50s and 60s muscle cars? He does that, but also the
:53:04. > :53:19.pimp my ride business. I am not so much a fan of that. That's naff. I
:53:20. > :53:23.love my classic cars. I do not like things to look as if they have come
:53:24. > :53:34.out of an amusement arcade. Smithers on a finished. I have not seen you
:53:35. > :53:43.so riled all week. A maximum for Dennis Armfield. I appreciate it, it
:53:44. > :54:01.is just not my thing. Triple 17, double 18, he has not got. To hold
:54:02. > :54:08.the throw, a master it. -- must hit. For two sixteens. One dart, Dennis.
:54:09. > :54:19.You have to find the green bit. Ouch. 20s for Smith. This is for the
:54:20. > :54:29.set. Single 20, double 20. There it is. He is 4-2 up. He only needs one
:54:30. > :54:35.more. The Canadian flag is starting to develop a following and a bunch
:54:36. > :54:45.of fans who really admire his talent. Looks like he's eating brain
:54:46. > :54:52.other semi-final. -- heading for another semi-final. You mentioned
:54:53. > :54:57.that the referees had a 174 contest. On the way here, I thought I would
:54:58. > :55:12.get a leaderboard for you. This is good information. The Dutch referee
:55:13. > :55:15.has two. And need under is has not had one yet and he is very cross
:55:16. > :55:27.with all the players in his matches because it is his idea. Nick Ross
:55:28. > :55:35.has had four. He is the man. 174, we wait with bated breath to see if
:55:36. > :55:43.there will be any more. Has anybody recorded who has had 17 four. It is
:55:44. > :55:50.the sort of information George would have. He knows how many darts they
:55:51. > :56:05.have shown. Jeff Smith has won nine legs in a row. -- thrown. It is all
:56:06. > :56:08.starting to look like hard work for Dennis Harbour. Smith is closing in
:56:09. > :56:36.on his throw. This repairs of the damage.
:56:37. > :57:01.Quarter-finals time. The winner of this play is the winner of the next
:57:02. > :57:05.game to come. 144 the opening leg. 57 when he returns and harbour
:57:06. > :57:12.cannot do anything about it other than try to get a big number. Get
:57:13. > :57:23.up, he says. It is not going to move once it is on the board. Jeff Smith
:57:24. > :57:32.is looking for ten legs in a row. 57 required. We have had turnarounds.
:57:33. > :57:46.Smith is now looking to finish this one. Another one on the spend. That
:57:47. > :58:04.is ten hour. He is ahead in the seventh sat -- now. -- set.
:58:05. > :58:16.I heard a whisper that some Donald Trumps have made the way it in.
:58:17. > :58:21.There is a possibility of him being banned from the country and the
:58:22. > :58:26.politicians are going to have a debate about it. The lookalike
:58:27. > :58:41.Saikia, along with the outrageous have. Canada is going into the
:58:42. > :58:49.semifinals unless Dennis can turn this around dramatically. We just
:58:50. > :58:57.can't see it happening. He has run out of steam after taking the first
:58:58. > :59:14.(CHEERS) opening sets with such high regard. -- two sets. Here are the
:59:15. > :59:21.Donald Trumps! And a Bruce. They are over from the USA, as you would
:59:22. > :59:41.expect. The commentators, many of them. Steady 140. There is life in
:59:42. > :59:48.them yet. There they are revealed. There are not really Donald Trump,
:59:49. > :00:03.in case you were wondering. OK, to stem the tide, Dennis Harbour. Two
:00:04. > :00:28.darts a double top. 11! He has got to find a break because Smith has
:00:29. > :00:36.got the guts. -- darts. Only 60 from Jeff Smith. He reached the
:00:37. > :00:44.semifinals on debut last year. He beat Robbie Gray in 5-1 in the
:00:45. > :01:00.quarter-finals. Then he was beaten in the last four. Scott slowed him
:01:01. > :01:11.down. Oh, dear. That could certainly be punished. A good start from
:01:12. > :01:28.Habour with a 140 but then 26. A good last darts. It can be a problem
:01:29. > :01:36.with a wall of noise. It is more of a problem when one single voice
:01:37. > :01:46.calls out from the crowd. Nothing in this leg. There is now, unless
:01:47. > :02:03.Habour can make a significant riposte. And another. That is good
:02:04. > :02:16.stuff. To hold his throat, to move to within a leg of the semifinals.
:02:17. > :02:28.-- throw. Dennis with a chance. He was taking this sort of dropped out
:02:29. > :02:48.earlier. -- stuff. No, close but no. 16 tops for Jeff Smith. His
:02:49. > :02:54.market is terrific. Yes, there is. The Canadian supporters are happy
:02:55. > :03:01.bigger Smith is now within one lake of a price within the last four. --
:03:02. > :03:29.because. He has got to win this other ways he is out. Only 60 from
:03:30. > :03:52.Dennis Harbour. Good stuff, a solid shot. A good one. For the first two
:03:53. > :03:57.sets, he held at 100% of the time, it is all gone wrong since then.
:03:58. > :04:00.That will happen if you lose ten legs in a row, as Dennis Harbour
:04:01. > :04:22.did. He is not on a finish but he is not
:04:23. > :04:35.far away. Habour must leave a finish and he will, almost certainly. That
:04:36. > :04:45.was a brave effort. He has given himself a Trumps. -- a chance. Oh,
:04:46. > :04:53.what about that! To stay alive, a in 19. He missed
:04:54. > :05:29.out by a street, didn't he? No! That last darts was thrown more
:05:30. > :05:43.in hope than expectation. Dennis Harbour to level the set. Yes, there
:05:44. > :05:50.is! That is only halted throw. Smith is still with the darts for
:05:51. > :06:25.victory. He holds his throat. He is into the last four. -- throw. Still
:06:26. > :06:39.pitching. A fighting last start. He needed that one, didn't he, to keep
:06:40. > :06:47.his nose ahead. Dennis Harbour has had winds over seeded player. He is
:06:48. > :07:06.still battling but Smith is starting to close in. -- wins. He is moving
:07:07. > :07:16.closer. Not a finish, though. Can Dennis leave one? Yes! A great time
:07:17. > :07:23.to throw a 140. Smith wants to put himself in a position where Habour
:07:24. > :07:29.is in pressure. He can't find one. Habour might get out of this. This
:07:30. > :07:34.would be some way to get out of it, equalling the highest checkout of
:07:35. > :07:46.the tournament so far. Just the wrong side of the wire. Yes, good
:07:47. > :07:52.last shot. Smith must have thought that he was home and dry but now he
:07:53. > :08:06.needs the last checkout. He can't finish, obviously. Habour is now 66
:08:07. > :08:20.to take the set. He went for the bull. He needs the bull this time
:08:21. > :08:31.and he needs the red bit in the middle of the board. That might be
:08:32. > :08:42.it. A good effort. Double 16 for the match. There it is! Jeff is in to
:08:43. > :08:49.the last four. He has swept away from the immensely likeable
:08:50. > :08:57.Canadian. Dennis Harbour is out and Smith is through to the last four.
:08:58. > :09:00.Scott Mitchell does not want to really push this title. He came
:09:01. > :09:07.through the sudden death decides. An amazing match. Any do it again? He
:09:08. > :09:14.would have to take a superconfident debutante. They have not shown a
:09:15. > :09:21.single sign of nerves on the big stage. The big man is holding the
:09:22. > :09:28.trophy. First time he has handled his throw. Scott wanted to know why
:09:29. > :09:48.he wasn't the first name on the team sheet. Scott is just running around
:09:49. > :09:56.all day for her array. -- for Harry. There is not many people who
:09:57. > :10:07.can say that they were managed by Harry. I have heard it said that
:10:08. > :10:22.when he hits a golf bull, it stays hit. He has not had much time for
:10:23. > :10:30.golf lately. Against the throw. This is more like it from Scott. This is
:10:31. > :10:54.solid. Well, time is on his side. He has
:10:55. > :11:12.decided not to go for B-17 bull, having a single 20. -- the 17. A
:11:13. > :11:20.double 16 now. That is more like it! That is the Mitchell that we know it
:11:21. > :11:27.is the first time that he has broken the Veenstra throw in this match. He
:11:28. > :11:41.looked like an impostor for these first two sets, didn't he? He is out
:11:42. > :11:48.for the set now. What a difference a few big numbers make. What a
:11:49. > :11:52.difference a break can make. Habour against Smith earlier. It was
