:00:36. > :00:43.Hello, welcome to highlights. The BDO 2016 world darts championships,
:00:44. > :00:45.the men and women. Before we get the action, let's have a look at what
:00:46. > :01:43.happened in the afternoon. He is drawing this well, Jeff Smith.
:01:44. > :01:47.I don't think he expects to miss at the moment. He says he is more
:01:48. > :01:55.nervous doing interviews that he is playing darts. Where he will get the
:01:56. > :01:57.hang of that if he keeps producing decent performances on the big
:01:58. > :02:01.stage, because there will be a lot of media interest in him. He does
:02:02. > :02:06.like to keep himself to himself. A lot of the players who have been
:02:07. > :02:11.playing Bill had to be hotel bar. Jeff tend to take himself off to
:02:12. > :02:20.bed. When he is practising he'd tuck himself into the corner, rather than
:02:21. > :02:25.staying in amongst the masses. -- he tucks himself. It's a great
:02:26. > :02:29.privilege to be able to go into the practice bar and see the
:02:30. > :02:34.differences. Those with the headphones in, listening to music,
:02:35. > :02:39.those chatting to make and having a laugh and others having a quiet
:02:40. > :02:47.moment out the back. Setting up another finish. Against the throw.
:02:48. > :02:54.You can take the second set with his next visit, requiring 130. Dawson
:02:55. > :03:06.isn't really pressurising it. He hasn't looked like winning on, Brian
:03:07. > :03:07.Dawson. -- winning one. We will have another chance, because Dawson on no
:03:08. > :03:21.finish. A break at the end of this set. 72,
:03:22. > :03:33.can he take it out? Trouble for 66 four Jeff Smith. He has missed one!
:03:34. > :03:37.He won't miss two! A great start! 2-0 he kneels Bell leads. -- he
:03:38. > :03:56.leads. Two down. This was the point that Dawson woke
:03:57. > :04:04.up against his opponent. The 15th seed needs a big start to set number
:04:05. > :04:16.three. Jeff Smith with the darts. Two sets to the good. Statistics
:04:17. > :04:21.from the two sets, you can see Jeff Smith really scoring heavily in the
:04:22. > :04:27.second set. A couple of dodgy darts from Dawson. His checkouts have been
:04:28. > :04:32.outstanding. Six out of ten spells of 60%.
:04:33. > :04:54.Already clear is the silencer in a set number three with the darts and
:04:55. > :04:59.a two set by far. -- buffer. He is playing really well again, taking
:05:00. > :05:10.off where he left Martin Adams. His match averages about 92.5. He has
:05:11. > :05:13.been in pretty much every session. Disappointed of course to be knocked
:05:14. > :05:30.out and fall at the first hurdle. Double 18. He missed one!
:05:31. > :05:45.Double nine now. Jeff Smith. To hold his throne. A really good double.
:05:46. > :05:55.Dangerous days for Dawson. Hasn't won anything on his own throw
:05:56. > :06:10.yet. We don't care how it comes, or he
:06:11. > :06:19.won't care, I should say. That's better. It is all about the
:06:20. > :06:25.Canadian. He hasn't had a 180 in the match yet. A slightly subdued crowd.
:06:26. > :06:50.Maybe. They want to see a contest. Friends of yours? Not yet. The
:06:51. > :06:55.evening is young! Yes, they spent a lot -- I spend a lot of my student
:06:56. > :07:11.life wasting time on the Nintendo 64. Other consoles are available...
:07:12. > :07:21.Dawson is on the finish at last. 154.
:07:22. > :07:37.There he is, our mate who broke off from the line.
:07:38. > :07:53.Tops now. He has got it. Into the match at last. Here I go, he says to
:07:54. > :08:01.his friends and family. Dawson has been dawdling. Will that give him a
:08:02. > :08:05.bit of spark? At this point it is where he started to get into his
:08:06. > :08:12.stride last night. Can he do the same again? He has got the real
:08:13. > :08:15.hunger. The scrapper's reputation. He never knows when he never knows
:08:16. > :08:28.when he keeps battling until the end. Smith has seven legs to his
:08:29. > :08:52.name. Dawson just the one. Larry Butler got on the wrong end of
:08:53. > :08:59.Glenn Durrant earlier on and he was given a thumping. That's the
:09:00. > :09:03.fullness of the round so far. He got absolutely battered the day. --
:09:04. > :09:15.today. Smith is placed on 66 to hold his
:09:16. > :09:27.pro. He's a big rugby league fans. Volos
:09:28. > :09:45.Bradford. -- follows. Onwards he goes. Is that right? He
:09:46. > :09:55.is a Bradford Bulls Van? I have just gone off him a little bit. He was an
:09:56. > :10:07.original Bradford fan. Came from that neck of the woods. Someone made
:10:08. > :10:12.me a copper tea with a Bradford wool is -- Bulls mug. I wasn't impressed.
:10:13. > :10:21.Then again, I could make my own cup of tea... Meanwhile... Dawson with
:10:22. > :10:26.the darts and a lead. Smith has this.
:10:27. > :10:36.A big crowd here tonight. Seats. A great atmosphere. Absolutely love
:10:37. > :10:41.coming to the Lakeside. Plenty of liquid refreshment. I do believe
:10:42. > :10:50.that the boss of the tea watching on there. -- BT watching on.
:10:51. > :10:57.In which case you are most welcome. Always been a big fan of your work.
:10:58. > :11:18.96 from Dawson. Simon Crean. There he is. The man in
:11:19. > :11:29.charge of BT Sport. Double 16, meanwhile. Smith, this is for the
:11:30. > :11:57.set. He has been taking this sort of finish. Double 18. Clinical! It is
:11:58. > :12:04.now 3-0. Smith is not giving him a sniff. He is averaging close to 93.
:12:05. > :12:06.60% check out rate when he is getting his opportunities and he is
:12:07. > :12:23.taking them. Needs a fume or of those. -- a few.
:12:24. > :12:37.Not happening for him. Does he still have the belief?
:12:38. > :12:46.Smith not capitalising. This is more like it. First off the match!
:12:47. > :12:55.That's got the crowd going! They want to see this go the distance! As
:12:56. > :13:01.much as they love Jeff Smith. They want to see Ryan Dawson do that if
:13:02. > :13:11.you more times. No finish. -- Brian Dawson.
:13:12. > :13:24.Suddenly, Smith cannot find the treble. 91 for Dawson. Brilliant.
:13:25. > :14:06.Double ten. Dawson can go ahead in this fourth
:14:07. > :14:18.set. Five. Two of ten on the doubles now. Smith is still up on 60%. Nine
:14:19. > :14:29.of 15. The average north of 190 as well. Dawson is just starting to
:14:30. > :14:40.come alive. The tale is starting to wag. He is talking to himself, come
:14:41. > :14:52.on, come on. Good stuff. Concentration on his face.
:14:53. > :14:59.There is no quitting Brian Dawson. He has got a chance of going to-0
:15:00. > :15:10.up. It looks like he fancies the fight as well. This is more like it.
:15:11. > :15:27.Nine diets to 104. -- diets with Mac darts. This can be rescued.
:15:28. > :15:53.Smith on 170. A possible checkout. Mitchell had a 161. The fourth set.
:15:54. > :16:06.Sneaks it then. And he is starting to sneak back. Just needs another
:16:07. > :16:12.leggy mouth of the set. -- leg now for the. Both of these players
:16:13. > :16:30.knocked out last year by Scotty Mitchell, the champion. Dawson in
:16:31. > :16:34.the quarters. Smith in the semis. Mitchell is on the same side of the
:16:35. > :16:41.draw as these two in theory. There could be facing him in the
:16:42. > :16:54.semi-final. A tricky match coming up tomorrow. Wesley had a victory
:16:55. > :17:02.earlier on against Jim Williams. 4-3. He will be facing Jamie Hughes.
:17:03. > :17:08.He is in the middle of the picture. No, not the person waving. The
:17:09. > :17:16.person that the little smile on the end in the mirror.
:17:17. > :17:36.Filling it up. The second maximum. Not on a finish. But at least it
:17:37. > :17:43.gets contract. We must do that, but it was a bull 's eye. -- Mr that.
:17:44. > :18:13.81. For Smith. 16 leaves a bull. Treble 20. Trouble 18 leaves a shot
:18:14. > :18:28.at tops. Nine, then. To pull a leg back. Seven now. He sees the amusing
:18:29. > :18:44.side of it. For his first set of the match, two darts at double top.
:18:45. > :19:01.Dawson is up and running. They are getting on now. Dawson is into it.
:19:02. > :19:27.His first of the match. The crowd celebrates.
:19:28. > :19:40.He could not, could he? This would be some fight back. The opening leg
:19:41. > :19:51.of the fifth set, Smith can clinch the match with this set.
:19:52. > :20:06.Dawson is matching him blow for blow now. I'm lucky. -- unlucky. Nicely
:20:07. > :20:11.positioned, Brian Dawson. But here is to have Smith with a 180. -- is
:20:12. > :20:23.Smith. It leaves him on 24 now, Smith. He
:20:24. > :20:42.is coming back with double 12 to take out this. Finishing Brilliant.
:20:43. > :21:00.The guns can be agonising to watch when players start to struggle with
:21:01. > :21:18.their doubles. -- the darts. Looking for his third maximum. This is more
:21:19. > :21:32.like the awesome Dawson. Ken Smith get rattled. -- can Smith. That is
:21:33. > :21:41.Brian Dawson's sister, Karen. It gives us all this information? I do
:21:42. > :21:47.not know everybody in the audience. Dawson with the gods. -- darts. Down
:21:48. > :22:02.from 19. That is nicely placed. Working the
:22:03. > :22:15.20s for another opportunity to draw the set. Treble 20 would leave
:22:16. > :22:34.double ten. That is nicely placed. Smith, a big ask. A good opening.
:22:35. > :22:53.Nails the second. 1-1. That would suit Smith. He continues to go. A
:22:54. > :23:20.lovely cover shot on treble 17. Right in the middle of the treble
:23:21. > :23:28.from Smith. Still maintaining that average just shy of 93. Not an
:23:29. > :23:54.exceptional average, but a decent one. He has got into it now. It is
:23:55. > :24:11.all too late. We have not seen one of these yet. Are we going to see
:24:12. > :24:17.one now? Could not have been closer. The supporters are starting to call
:24:18. > :24:34.his name. 25 for Smith to be 2-1 ahead. Dawson is not on the finish.
:24:35. > :24:43.The urgency was not really there. He knew that Dawson was nowhere near. A
:24:44. > :24:54.slightly more focused approach as he goes looking for 22. -- double two.
:24:55. > :25:05.There it is. He is one leg away from winning the match. You have got to
:25:06. > :25:23.produce now, Brian. Or it is all over. That is a good start. Coming
:25:24. > :25:26.down the board. Interesting how he chooses 17 for his cover shot,
:25:27. > :25:47.rather than 19, which most players favour. Then again, straight at the
:25:48. > :26:08.treble 17. That could apply some real pressure.
:26:09. > :26:21.This is a must take for Dawson, or the is all over. -- or the game is
:26:22. > :26:30.all over. Dawson first to refinish, 118 awaits. Look at this for
:26:31. > :26:44.pressure from Smith. He is poised on 76. A straightforward checkout.
:26:45. > :27:17.Dawson can only watch and hope. 76, treble 20 he is aiming for. Double
:27:18. > :27:28.18 for the match. 78 to stay alive. There it is. Smith, the Queen guy
:27:29. > :27:35.from Canada, does it again. -- cleaner. The crowd are really
:27:36. > :27:43.starting to warm to him. He moves into the quarter-finals, winning
:27:44. > :27:47.this by 4-1. This is once again turning into a
:27:48. > :27:51.great story. The big games keep coming and the bigger names keep
:27:52. > :27:57.falling to you. I am lucky to be here. I have got a lot of crowd
:27:58. > :28:03.support. That is the first time there have been calling my name,
:28:04. > :28:08.which is incredible. As long as I keep pushing ahead, get doubles,
:28:09. > :28:11.that is my goal for the weekend. How much confidence did you bring into
:28:12. > :28:17.this match from the fact that you were so comprehensively on top? My
:28:18. > :28:24.finishing has been great and I know that. It was not quite so much
:28:25. > :28:30.against Brian, but he struggled a little bit for him. He is usually a
:28:31. > :28:36.much better player than that. The crowd set off that. It was great.
:28:37. > :28:43.You are now one of the favourites for the title. Are you comfortable
:28:44. > :28:50.with that? Before I started this tournament, I felt I was one of the
:28:51. > :28:57.favourites. It all comes down to me. If I believe in myself, I can do it.
:28:58. > :29:04.Many congratulations, and good luck for the quarter-finals. Thank you so
:29:05. > :29:14.much. The type of person you would want to buy a beer. Also through is
:29:15. > :29:27.this man. The final second-round match of the evening session: In
:29:28. > :29:28.this one he did take the first set. The second went into the deciding
:29:29. > :29:53.leg, which we will see now. Trying to get himself going. There
:29:54. > :29:57.is a break after this leg of darts. Jamie will be thinking, if I can
:29:58. > :30:10.pull something out of the bag, this could go 1-1 and start again. You
:30:11. > :30:18.hardly need me to tell you that this is an important leg. 2-0 and 1-1 in
:30:19. > :30:36.a race to four. A very different set of scorelines. Just while Jamie
:30:37. > :30:46.Hughes was throwing, Razma just crouched down onto his haunches. I
:30:47. > :31:16.do not know why he did that. Not the first time he has done that. He
:31:17. > :31:27.needed that final night. OK then, Razma, over to you. 146 for a two
:31:28. > :31:59.set lead. Jamie Hughes back up to the 120. He needed that. This is for
:32:00. > :32:10.a two set lead. 17 on this one. There is one of them. Neither the
:32:11. > :32:21.second. Very crucial moment in this match. Coming right up. He has given
:32:22. > :32:49.himself a chance. That is a terrific first. What a chance for Jamie
:32:50. > :32:57.Hughes. This to pull level at 1-1. One at double six. It looked as
:32:58. > :33:03.though Jamie Hughes was suffering the blues, but he pulled it out. And
:33:04. > :33:11.we go to the break level at 1-1. From there, he went 3-1 in a race to
:33:12. > :33:18.four sets. We will be joined them at the beginning of the fifth. One more
:33:19. > :33:47.set away from a place in the quarter-finals. It is lovely up on
:33:48. > :34:01.stage. Acknowledging the successes. This was at the end of that fourth
:34:02. > :34:14.set. A lot of respect. He was back on his haunches again. Taking stock
:34:15. > :34:18.of a 3-1 deficit. Razma had three darts in his hand and 40 left on the
:34:19. > :34:38.scoresheet. The way he was finishing, he would have put the
:34:39. > :34:57.mortgage on him. 130, treble 20 would leave one on the board. A
:34:58. > :35:11.great last shot. It is just not happening for him. Two eighteens for
:35:12. > :35:32.Jamie Hughes. And the fourth seed is starting to flex his muscles. Second
:35:33. > :35:56.leg in a row, we have begun publicly. -- perfectly. 83. He knows
:35:57. > :36:06.quite rightly it is now or never, Razma. The first to four. Having
:36:07. > :36:20.taken the opener. Could have been 2-0 up. Let us look at the
:36:21. > :36:36.finishing, set by set. Razma continues to struggle. But if you
:36:37. > :36:49.want real struggles, Razma insect -- in set three was two from 15.
:36:50. > :36:53.Including 12 misses in a row. He has got a healthy advantage here,
:36:54. > :37:07.though. Jamie not doing much to change that. She might go treble 14,
:37:08. > :37:42.let us have a look. It is not happening for him. One out of 12. It
:37:43. > :37:47.is just not happening, is it? Some easy in the last round, so difficult
:37:48. > :37:56.in this round. The double beds have not gotten smaller. A great start,
:37:57. > :38:06.treble 19 four double 12. A great effort. I thought he would get that.
:38:07. > :38:33.He is going to go straight for the 55. Eight Mrs in a row before that
:38:34. > :38:40.double five. And only 40 from Jamie Hughes throwing first. He just needs
:38:41. > :38:46.to hold this twice. And he is through to the quarter-finals. But
:38:47. > :38:55.he will not do that with many more visits like that 40. He has slowed
:38:56. > :39:25.down again. Neither of these two have tasted a lakeside
:39:26. > :39:28.quarter-final. I know you like keeping notes about these things,
:39:29. > :39:37.but we are halfway through the tournament and we have had 18,850
:39:38. > :39:43.darts thrown at Lakeside this year. That is quite a tally chart. I'd do
:39:44. > :40:17.very little else and I do not get out much. It has not been a vintage
:40:18. > :40:29.late for either. Last year Jamie Hughes lost in the second round.
:40:30. > :40:47.Nearly got here twice before. It was a bit controversial. None of that
:40:48. > :41:06.will be going through his mind right now. 24 another crack at bull's-eye.
:41:07. > :41:37.He just flicked the wire. Razma will not be happening. A big moment, a
:41:38. > :41:54.big opportunity to break the throw. Needs a treble, does not get it. 4-1
:41:55. > :42:11.lead and to move within one leg of a place in the quarter-finals. And
:42:12. > :42:25.that voice you can hear is that of Jamie's wife, Jane. What a chance
:42:26. > :42:35.for Jamie Hughes. Razma needs to hold, to stay in this year's
:42:36. > :42:42.championship. And only 22. That is not a great deal better. More than
:42:43. > :42:57.twice as good. Needs to find the treble. It is deserting him at the
:42:58. > :43:16.moment. A big visit could do some damage. He meant those last two,
:43:17. > :43:33.didn't he? He threw his shoulder into those like a forward in a rugby
:43:34. > :43:50.tackle. I sort of pity the board. Have some of that, he says. He must
:43:51. > :44:19.hold, or he is out. Not a classic from either. Razma with no real
:44:20. > :44:26.advantage. Finally a treble from 18. Wesley awaits the winner. He has
:44:27. > :44:39.been watching tonight. Still very much a student of the game. Above
:44:40. > :44:47.all a huge fan of darts. This is for the match for Jamie Hughes, the
:44:48. > :45:01.fourth seed. A couple of times he has done this. Treble 15 for tops.
:45:02. > :45:09.Treble 18 and Razma. This would be some way to extend the match. It is
:45:10. > :45:20.there are most Razma can take this out. -- unless. A bull's-eye to stay
:45:21. > :45:26.in the world championship. The crowd wanted to see this one land.
:45:27. > :45:54.Bull's-eye could very well be his last art. -- last. The fourth seed
:45:55. > :46:05.will taste a lakeside quarter-final for the very first time. Hughes will
:46:06. > :46:11.cruise into the last eight. Jamie draped proudly in the Black
:46:12. > :46:14.Country flag. You are through to your first-ever lakeside
:46:15. > :46:20.quarter-final. But yet again, you are not happy with the quality of
:46:21. > :46:26.performance. I am a much better player than that. I am not the
:46:27. > :46:32.number four seed for nothing. Last year I was the fourth best player in
:46:33. > :46:40.the BDO. There must be that many people at home watching the way I
:46:41. > :46:45.have played, being disappointed. I am frustrated more than anything.
:46:46. > :46:50.You have got to be pleased that you into the last eight of World
:46:51. > :46:57.Championship. I feel like all my Christmases have come at once. You
:46:58. > :47:01.would not expect to be in the quarter-final of the world
:47:02. > :47:10.championship playing the way I am. Hopefully I can put it right. Let us
:47:11. > :47:15.look ahead to that match. Wesley has been pushed at Lakeside and has not
:47:16. > :47:22.had it all his own way. Do you believe you can go one stage further
:47:23. > :47:27.and reach the semifinals? Yes. I have got a good record against
:47:28. > :47:32.Wesley. I am really up for this one. I know he will be up for it as well.
:47:33. > :47:38.The best of luck, you have got to be in it to win it and you still are.
:47:39. > :47:50.Some five of the eight names confirmed for 2016. Three stories.
:47:51. > :47:56.One is Dennis Harper. Two guys really need to click into a higher
:47:57. > :48:15.gear. Tour is another day. Jamie use. As for tomorrow afternoon, our
:48:16. > :48:19.live action, the women's champion and Scott Mitchell are both in
:48:20. > :48:21.action. We will see you then.
