:00:39. > :00:44.Good evening. Down by the Lakeside today, two countries went into
:00:44. > :00:54.battle. Thousands of people threw darts for fun on a weekly basis.
:00:54. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:07.But today it was for a place in the 20 tour of BDO World Championships.
:01:07. > :01:30.
:01:30. > :01:35.O'Shea on the way. A live game involved Christian Kist and Ted
:01:35. > :01:45.Hankey, a legend. There were rumours that this would be his last
:01:45. > :02:12.
:02:12. > :02:20.has got to do it. 140. incredible game of darts. I'm so
:02:20. > :02:26.glad. He would not have wanted to miss this would you? I would rather
:02:26. > :02:33.be sitting here then there watching it. I get more nervous in front of
:02:33. > :02:41.the television. For those at home, I'm sure you're all pretty nervous.
:02:41. > :02:47.Ted Hankey is getting a few people... I don't think he is
:02:47. > :02:57.talking about the crowd there. He read interested in the angle of his
:02:57. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:12.darts. He thinks there is a draft onstage affecting his darts.
:03:12. > :03:14.
:03:14. > :03:22.why? He is giving it away now. is the most relaxed loaded
:03:22. > :03:28.Christian Kist has thrown. Why let yourself go when you have been
:03:28. > :03:38.mentally in control for the best part of 10 sets. It is a shame. I
:03:38. > :03:42.love the man to pieces. I could be wrong but to the way he is
:03:42. > :03:52.motioning with his hand indicates he thinks there is a draft putting
:03:52. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:21.without a shadow of a doubt. There is Ted, not a care in the world. He
:04:21. > :04:29.still had a great chance of winning. Now it could it -- he could be out
:04:29. > :04:38.for the Count. Christian Kist on his Lakeside debut goes all the way
:04:38. > :04:42.to the finals! Ted Hankey, U cert to the tournament while my friend.
:04:42. > :04:52.There but Christian Kist could be doing it for years to come! What a
:04:52. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:23.after the most amazing comeback? TRANSLATION: It was unbelievable.
:05:23. > :05:30.He can't find the words. It was a surprise. He would never have
:05:30. > :05:36.believed it but it happened. It is great. Well Dan Christian. He is
:05:36. > :05:41.true to tomorrow's final. Ted's exit brought some controversy. He
:05:41. > :05:45.addressed an issue towards the end of the game and that the air
:05:45. > :05:48.conditioner in the auditorium. He also confirmed after the game that
:05:48. > :05:54.he would sadly be final at the end of the night.
:05:54. > :06:01.Took me through an epic semifinal. He got away well. But I clipped him
:06:01. > :06:08.back and I took control of the game. I was finishing well, I was very
:06:08. > :06:16.happy. Until about the tenth set. I said to the referee that the air
:06:16. > :06:22.conditioner had come on. I knew what and everybody felt it.Absolute
:06:22. > :06:28.will wind up there. It looked like there would only be one winner but
:06:28. > :06:32.he did say you felt like the wind had come on. And we felt it. You
:06:32. > :06:40.have given a lot of credit to Christian and he deserves it but
:06:40. > :06:44.you probably feel quite despondent? I was in control of the game. I
:06:44. > :06:49.thought it was over. There but the air-conditioning came on. I know
:06:49. > :06:55.why it came on, I will not say in front of the cameras but it did
:06:55. > :07:02.come on. I will see people about it later. I can't say what I want to
:07:02. > :07:12.say but I'm not happy about it. But fair play, he has got into the
:07:12. > :07:15.finals, good luck to him. Today I finally got to see the Ted I have
:07:15. > :07:21.watched on television absolutely almost impossible to beat when all
:07:21. > :07:26.things affair. His is the last time I will see you on a Lakeside stage?
:07:26. > :07:31.Yes it is. I'm sorry. I have a lot of fans around the world but this
:07:31. > :07:40.is it for me. Thank you to everyone. We have been great supporters. But
:07:40. > :07:47.times change and I have to move on. Thank you very much. I will miss
:07:47. > :07:55.this place. You can't explain the atmosphere. It will always be what
:07:55. > :08:01.it is. It will keep going. It is time for me to move on. Do you have
:08:01. > :08:11.time for one more to come upon? wouldn't be able to think of one.
:08:11. > :08:18.
:08:18. > :08:23.have one. Fangs for the memories. conditioning was on and it does
:08:23. > :08:32.affect it will grant art that you float. Her whether heavy the darter
:08:32. > :08:39.is, it will affect the Dart obviously. -- how whether heavy.
:08:39. > :08:46.may regret not coming of? He should have stopped the game if he felt
:08:46. > :08:52.the air conditioner. But it was at the end of the game. I thought it
:08:52. > :08:56.was a dart falling out of the board, not the air conditioning. But you
:08:56. > :09:03.can't take that one away from Christian Kist. In the last two
:09:03. > :09:07.said he really bashed him up. I can't see why he did not say, I
:09:07. > :09:12.will not throw any more, stop the game, turn the air conditioner
:09:12. > :09:19.Arthur and will start afresh. But he did not do it. It is a shame it
:09:19. > :09:23.had to happen that way at a World Championship level. They should not
:09:23. > :09:29.have had air-conditioning on at all. It was a real war of attrition up
:09:29. > :09:34.there. It was written over that their faces. They went through the
:09:34. > :09:44.middle. If Christian Kist will win tomorrow, he will have to get a big
:09:44. > :09:46.
:09:46. > :09:56.sleep after this because Ted Hankey took a whole lot of sets. These
:09:56. > :10:00.
:10:00. > :10:04.boys play 247. -- 24/7. If this is the last time we will see Ted
:10:04. > :10:10.Hankey at a beady a dartboard, we should honour his memory here. He
:10:10. > :10:14.has given us so many memorable night. I used to enjoy him with all
:10:14. > :10:24.of his sulking and moaning! But he said before that he would go and he
:10:24. > :10:26.
:10:26. > :10:30.has come back. So when he says that I do not always believe him!
:10:30. > :10:34.Dutchman into the final and another, Wesley Harms, looking to join him
:10:34. > :10:44.in tomorrow. Tony O'Shea had already knocked out Martin at --
:10:44. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:56.Martin Adams and it has been There has never been more than one
:10:56. > :11:02.set between these two. It is four all in a race to six with a maximum
:11:02. > :11:12.of three more sets of darts to stake a place in the Lakeside world
:11:12. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:22.final. When Tony O'Shea went through into the final in 2009, he
:11:22. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:31.beat Darryl 6-4. I'm sure he is here to cheer on his best buddy.
:11:31. > :11:39.Tony O'Shea Leader won the Nell -- led one else. There's just no
:11:39. > :11:49.separating these two. Neither of them has found their best darts on
:11:49. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:11.the stage. You can't beat this for meets Miss Marple meets thriller.
:12:11. > :12:20.The superheroes out on the floor. The Popeye has bought his spinach
:12:20. > :12:30.with him. You need a 42 from here on in. You need a lane and a will
:12:30. > :12:45.
:12:45. > :12:52.good leg of darts. Just what Wesley Harms would have wanted. I think
:12:52. > :13:02.Tony O'Shea said to himself, "Come on Fatboy way" there. That is what
:13:02. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:22.he calls himself from time to time. Wesley Harms will have the same
:13:22. > :13:24.make name for himself. A handy footballer in his time. It was
:13:25. > :13:34.after the ball training that he used to pick up the darts with his
:13:35. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:53.said, why did you form a team? So they did. Eight years later, he is
:13:53. > :13:55.
:13:56. > :14:05.playing in the Lakeside semifinal. And leading. 97! He has a lead of
:14:06. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:34.51. Tony O'Shea bids to hold his being given chances by Wesley Harms.
:14:34. > :14:41.Anything approaching the end scoring he produced against Martin
:14:42. > :14:47.Adams would be good. He has given Tony O'Shea a comfortable two set
:14:47. > :14:57.to lead by this stage. He averaged and 94 against Martin Adams in the
:14:57. > :15:09.
:15:09. > :15:18.final. This is a lot closer. 11 keep a good man down can you? That
:15:18. > :15:23.might swing things the way of the number eight seed. He might be
:15:23. > :15:33.fired up because he could be one of three and the double 16 to finish
:15:33. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:46.it off. 40! He almost caught the dark as it came back towards him.
:15:46. > :15:50.That is what he does not need. He gets fired up and the bounce out
:15:50. > :16:00.tens the temperature down to freezing again. That is his ninth
:16:00. > :16:00.
:16:00. > :16:10.pounds out. Wesley Harms has had two. -- bounce out. Her he has
:16:10. > :16:11.
:16:11. > :16:20.actually had a 17 during the tournament. He has had more in this
:16:20. > :16:30.particular match. It is just the way he is throwing his darts. It is
:16:30. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :16:42.the angle. He needed than one. He could have done with filling up the
:16:42. > :16:49.
:16:49. > :16:59.treble 20. But what has Wesley Harms got? He got double Wolff left.
:16:59. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:19.-- double 12. 14 darts. He is in the group now. The Dutchman. Maybe
:17:19. > :17:23.
:17:23. > :17:33.that little exchange will fire up his opponent. He has been in the
:17:33. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:47.comfort zone. They know that this is not exclusive. He tends to
:17:47. > :17:47.
:17:47. > :18:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:18:28. > :18:38.dedicate his victories to his This is the leg in which Tony
:18:38. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:52.O'Shea has the darts and he is going to stay in the ninth set...
:18:52. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:24.shade to strike first. -- Tony O'Shea. He has done it again! Tony
:19:24. > :19:24.
:19:25. > :19:32.O'Shea has levelled the set. That is going to get the crowd fired up.
:19:32. > :19:42.That is what he needs to help him take Wesley Harms out of his
:19:42. > :20:19.
:20:19. > :20:29.O'Shea, to maintain a slim advantage. Well done! Back to back
:20:29. > :20:34.
:20:34. > :20:42.140s from Wesley Harms. He needed a finish. Not doing his counting. He
:20:42. > :20:52.could have left himself on 170. He is going to have to hope that
:20:52. > :21:18.
:21:18. > :21:28.rabbit out of the hat? -- Tony O'Shea. He did it in the last set,
:21:28. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:08.emotion it you can scream into one arena. He has done it! Now the
:22:08. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:27.crowd is behind him. Finally, the crowd believes, but does that men
:22:27. > :22:31.
:22:31. > :22:41.believe he is on his way to the last two? He is one set from the
:22:41. > :22:46.
:22:46. > :22:54.final and he has the darts. That said gave him the energy. -- that
:22:54. > :23:04.set. I could be wrong, but I think this set will be more comfortable
:23:04. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:22.for him. It is asking a lot for Wesley Harms to come back. Nothing
:23:22. > :23:33.
:23:33. > :23:41.is decided yet. If you are a Dutch, all is not lost. Every bounce out,
:23:41. > :23:51.every missed double, every stray out of 20, chance that little bit
:23:51. > :24:22.
:24:22. > :24:30.extra. -- counts. It gives your visits from Tony. I do not think he
:24:30. > :24:35.thought that was in. He cannot believe he did not check himself.
:24:35. > :24:45.He got carried away with the momentum. He has set himself up for
:24:45. > :24:51.
:24:51. > :25:01.his favourite double. Wesley Harms before the break. That is the
:25:01. > :25:11.
:25:11. > :25:21.second time he has gone for the double16. Why did he not do it last
:25:21. > :25:23.
:25:23. > :25:33.time? It is sport, it is drama, it swings with every touch of the
:25:33. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :26:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:26:17. > :26:27.does that do to Wesley Harms? He has been a bit scrappy at times
:26:27. > :26:57.
:26:57. > :27:07.have got to fancy his chances. I do not understand where Tony O'Shea's
:27:07. > :27:16.
:27:16. > :27:26.game goes. A game has disappeared. The second set, Wesley Harms! All
:27:26. > :27:29.
:27:29. > :27:39.that Tony O'Shea put in to win the last set... Has he now just had a
:27:39. > :28:01.
:28:01. > :28:10.transfusion to put a bit of bite afford to follow 180 with 43. He
:28:10. > :28:20.has been consistently inconsistent this match. Familiar faces, young
:28:20. > :28:23.
:28:23. > :28:33.and old watch on. We have seen that guy come back year after year, all
:28:33. > :28:38.
:28:38. > :28:48.the way from Scotland. He is cheering Tony O'Shea on. A little
:28:48. > :29:02.
:29:02. > :29:12.bit of breathing space for Silverback. This is to get the
:29:12. > :29:22.
:29:23. > :29:30.first leg in the set. There you go! If he can break here, he will be
:29:30. > :29:40.throwing for the match. Look what the pressure is doing to Wesley
:29:40. > :29:46.
:29:46. > :29:56.Harms! Tony O'Shea is still tense. Another bounce out. The angle the
:29:56. > :30:07.
:30:07. > :30:17.darts are going in does not help him. They count a lot. It has to be
:30:17. > :30:18.
:30:18. > :30:23.said, he would not have got a 60 on every one of them. As I said,
:30:23. > :30:33.consistently inconsistent. He can put it together at. Of a leg, he
:30:33. > :30:39.
:30:39. > :30:48.then fades away. -- at the beginning of a leg. Another one!
:30:48. > :30:58.They say the wire on the board is 50% thinner, it does not feel like
:30:58. > :31:07.
:31:07. > :31:15.that for Tony O'Shea. When we get to the end of a match, those bounce
:31:15. > :31:25.outs, you begin to feel that things are against you. Tony a Che is
:31:25. > :31:25.
:31:25. > :32:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:32:06. > :32:16.What is this to be? 46. This is to put him out of his misery. It is
:32:16. > :32:23.
:32:23. > :32:31.now 5-5! A conversation took place between the referee and the players.
:32:31. > :32:41.Wesley Harms asked for a new board because of the number of bounce
:32:41. > :33:07.
:33:07. > :33:17.outs. REFEREE: the final set, game on. It is the first to three legs.
:33:17. > :33:24.
:33:24. > :33:32.This is a sudden-death decider. No advantage to throw-in first. Tony
:33:32. > :33:42.O'Shea is 50 years-old, he has been playing darts a lot longer than
:33:42. > :33:49.
:33:49. > :33:54.Wesley Harms. This should suit him. If Wesley Harms loses the first leg,
:33:54. > :34:04.he will feel the pressure four times as much as Tony O'Shea in the
:34:04. > :34:05.
:34:05. > :34:10.same position. Tony O'Shea has wanted this for so long. Wesley
:34:10. > :34:20.Harms told me it was a fairy-tale just to be at Frimley Green. He has
:34:20. > :34:27.
:34:27. > :34:37.got nothing to lose. He may be the Cinderella that goes to the ball.
:34:37. > :34:41.
:34:41. > :34:51.Tony O'Shea has slowed his breathing down. It is no more than
:34:51. > :35:21.
:35:21. > :35:31.half a chance, but it is half a it all! This is for the break. This
:35:31. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:07.is huge. He was one breath away! No-one can watch. Tony requires 16.
:36:07. > :36:07.
:36:07. > :36:17.You would think so, you would hope so if you were backing him. He has
:36:17. > :36:19.
:36:19. > :36:29.done it! He is one leg closer. Wesley Harms loses his magic touch
:36:29. > :36:31.
:36:31. > :36:41.just at the wrong moment. Tony O'Shea finds a lucky dart. He just
:36:41. > :36:51.needs to hold his throw twice. Seven times he has been taken to a
:36:51. > :36:59.
:36:59. > :37:08.deciding set on the Lakeside stage, he has won four of them. He has
:37:08. > :37:18.survived a final sudden-death leg as well. That was in 2003. He lost
:37:18. > :37:54.
:37:54. > :38:04.that one? I'm just looking. That Harms missed five darts to halt --
:38:04. > :38:10.
:38:10. > :38:20.hold his lead at. Of -- at the beginning of this set. Nothing is
:38:20. > :38:40.
:38:40. > :38:50.easy today. There is the breeding. could not penetrate the double.
:38:50. > :39:08.
:39:08. > :39:17.This is to break straight back. Oh dear! Yes, he has found it! Tony
:39:17. > :39:27.O'Shea is one leg away. They are not getting any easier. The peaches
:39:27. > :39:31.
:39:31. > :39:41.say 1,000 words. -- pictures. He is one leg closer to �100,000
:39:41. > :40:06.
:40:06. > :40:16.these... It should have been more. He would love to have a chance to
:40:16. > :40:38.
:40:38. > :40:43.win it on this leg. Is that a lose this last set 3-0. The way he
:40:43. > :40:53.has played, he does not deserve that. I go back to the experience
:40:53. > :41:23.
:41:24. > :41:33.of Tony on the circuit. This is to hold his throw. This is where he
:41:34. > :41:43.
:41:43. > :41:53.has been a bit scrappy... As neat as you could want. Tony O'Shea is
:41:53. > :42:00.
:42:00. > :42:10.going for a place in the final. In the first a leg of the deciding set
:42:10. > :42:44.
:42:44. > :42:54.Wesley Harms Mr five darts at the of lying back and accepting the
:42:54. > :42:58.inevitable. He puts himself on a finish with 133. Under this
:42:58. > :43:08.pressure, you cannot congratulate him enough. What a way this would
:43:08. > :43:17.
:43:17. > :43:27.be to extend... They do not come much closer. Three years on from
:43:27. > :43:37.
:43:37. > :43:47.his last final appearance, 87 is needed. Tony O'Shea shouts,
:43:47. > :43:50.
:43:50. > :44:00.rubbish! That could be good night Wesley Harms. It might be a very
:44:00. > :44:08.
:44:08. > :44:17.good night for Tony. So often the nearly man. He has done it! What an
:44:18. > :44:24.epic battle. He was battered and bruised but he would not go down.
:44:24. > :44:27.Wesley Harms gave it everything. It means absolutely everything for
:44:27. > :44:37.Tony O'Shea as he goes through to his second World Championships
:44:37. > :44:44.
:44:44. > :44:54.final. His grandfather can afford to smile now. Heartbreak for Wesley
:44:54. > :44:56.
:44:56. > :45:06.Harms who has lit up Lakeside on his debut. How the crowd are loving
:45:06. > :45:09.
