Day 2

:00:13. > :00:17.Day two, Bobby, at the lakeside. Enter, Scott Waites. He is the

:00:17. > :00:20.bookies' favourite, world master. What annoyed me about yesterday was

:00:21. > :00:28.it was a great day but all these darts players are talking about

:00:28. > :00:38.hypnotism. I'm glad I have here, none of that mumbo-jumbo. You are

:00:38. > :01:08.

:01:08. > :01:12.under. He's a lovely boy, isn't he? A peaceful, laid-back Sunday and

:01:12. > :01:18.there has been a darting pilgrimage of shiny, happy people to gather

:01:18. > :01:24.today at the altar of the sporting pantomime which is darts. We are

:01:24. > :01:28.all set once again for an afternoon of a nail-biting action. Hello,

:01:28. > :01:32.everybody. Welcome to the biggest indoor party of 2012, hosted by the

:01:32. > :01:36.man with enough gold to end they eurozone crisis, Bobby George.

:01:36. > :01:43.There is something about Sunday here. It sends a little tingle down

:01:43. > :01:48.my spine. This is the first round of Sunday, a week's time, another

:01:48. > :01:53.Sunday, final. Such a big event but it is so fast and furious. We've

:01:53. > :02:03.only had one day but yesterday, six players were given the broadside.

:02:03. > :02:04.

:02:04. > :02:12.Six others dipped their toes into How hungry is the wolf? Who has got

:02:12. > :02:18.the most puppy Power in and the pen this afternoon? This will settle

:02:18. > :02:28.him down. Yes, it will. Back to the bullseye again for a 132. Thank you

:02:28. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :03:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:03:25. > :03:32.No trouble in the end and he is he only needs one of them. The

:03:32. > :03:42.first seed is out and Gary Stone cause as the first upset. The --

:03:42. > :03:52.causes. The and Ross Montgomery is through to round two. -- and Ross

:03:52. > :04:17.

:04:17. > :04:21.Steve Douglas, the man... I think that was perfection. Somebody sent

:04:21. > :04:26.for reinforcements and that is to make sure the stage holes up in the

:04:26. > :04:32.next hour and a bit. It is the two big boys from Merseyside. To

:04:32. > :04:42.Liverpool fans and one of them is going to cop it tonight. They are

:04:42. > :04:54.

:04:54. > :05:04.large in it. Larging it. 180! The that is the reply from Robbie Green.

:05:04. > :05:14.He wants double top for victory. And the end is now. So many missed

:05:14. > :05:19.

:05:19. > :05:24.doubles from both players and there How did we third that into one day?

:05:24. > :05:28.It was pretty easy for Martin Adams but will we see the 2012 world

:05:28. > :05:38.champion on this very stage today? Here are the four games we have

:05:38. > :05:46.

:05:46. > :05:52.coming up and there is one name 25 % above every other player in

:05:52. > :05:57.this tournament. We start with a very familiar name, Walton again

:05:57. > :06:01.statins. That is a familiar affair. They are pairs partners and play

:06:01. > :06:04.with each other all around the world in the pairs tournament. They

:06:04. > :06:14.know each other's game but it will not make a difference when they get

:06:14. > :06:20.Is it easier to beat up someone you know or someone you don't? It is

:06:21. > :06:25.harder to beat up someone you know. You can't beat strangers up. Hard

:06:26. > :06:29.to see a winner. Excellent stuff. John Walton has been here longer

:06:29. > :06:33.than everyone apart from Bobby and has been working too well --

:06:34. > :06:39.talking to rob Walker. It's hard to believe it is 11 years since he

:06:39. > :06:45.became world champion. The one-hour over the age of 50. I used to

:06:45. > :06:52.enjoying this? Of course I'm enjoying it. I've only just hit 50!

:06:52. > :06:55.Yeah, it has been 11 years. I've had maybe five or six years of pain

:06:55. > :07:00.with a trapped nerve in my shoulder. Hopefully that is sorted out and

:07:00. > :07:04.I'm enjoying my game again. It was a superb second-round match against

:07:04. > :07:07.Martin last year. It was like that to golden oldies rolling back the

:07:07. > :07:17.clock. It was great to see the way the two will be totally captivated

:07:17. > :07:18.

:07:18. > :07:22.the crowd. I enjoyed the game. It was one deflected dark, that's all.

:07:22. > :07:28.No one had a shot at the double to win until the last dart went in. A

:07:28. > :07:33.fantastic game. The winner of that game was the darts. And the public.

:07:33. > :07:41.I just wanted to get off stage and Wajid myself, it was that good.

:07:41. > :07:50.would you assess your form for the rest of 2011? 2011 walls... It set

:07:50. > :07:56.me up. My form is coming back. I'm up for the game and playing really

:07:56. > :08:02.well. And relaxing and enjoying my game. Europe against Martin Atkins,

:08:02. > :08:09.your Open pairs partner. -- you are up against. How difficult is that,

:08:09. > :08:14.to play someone who you know it inside out? It can be an advantage.

:08:14. > :08:22.I know his game inside and out. I know when he is throwing bad and he

:08:22. > :08:28.will no one I'm throwing bad. We can jump on that. He is and only my

:08:28. > :08:36.partner, he is my county team mate. He is my England team-mate as well.

:08:36. > :08:42.We go back quite a way and it was me that got him on the circuit. I

:08:43. > :08:47.love him to bits but I've already told him, his job is standing

:08:47. > :08:53.underneath cars, fixing them all week. My job is playing darts.

:08:53. > :08:56.Let's see what happens. Friend or foe? Let's get it on. It is

:08:56. > :09:06.Sheffield against Leeds. Martin Fitzmaurice, it is time to face the

:09:06. > :09:26.

:09:26. > :09:36.ready? Ladies and gentlemen, let us played darts! -- let's play darts!

:10:48. > :10:52.fellow Yorkshireman. Welcome the John Boy Walton has given up the

:10:52. > :11:02.cigarettes for the New Year but it is Martin Atkins with a smoking gun.

:11:02. > :11:07.

:11:07. > :11:11.Who misfires and who lights up the They are great friends away from

:11:11. > :11:15.the oche but the gloves are off. I think Muhammad Ali and Henry Cooper

:11:15. > :11:19.were friends out of the ring but we saw what happened there! I think

:11:19. > :11:24.the gloves will be of very shortly. What is your prediction? It is one

:11:24. > :11:29.of those gains. You can toss a coin. It is who feels lucky on the day.

:11:29. > :11:34.Martin Atkins, the big fan of Clint Eastwood is, does he feel lucky?

:11:34. > :11:40.John Walton, the first man to win the title wearing glasses back in

:11:40. > :11:44.2001. In 2011, he successfully defended his England Masters title.

:11:44. > :11:49.He is back on form and the 7th seed this year. He's certainly, John

:11:49. > :11:59.Boyd, will fancy his chances of winning. But not if Atkins can do

:11:59. > :12:28.

:12:28. > :12:33.for saying this but he has been a serial first-round loser here. This

:12:34. > :12:37.is his 9th appearance here. He has reached round to just three times

:12:37. > :12:44.and is still kicking himself, he says, because of months ago he

:12:44. > :12:49.missed two match starts to beat Dean Winstanley in a first-round --

:12:49. > :12:53.in the first round. When Stanley went on to reach the final. Atkins

:12:54. > :13:03.is back to make amends. He has been around a long time and

:13:04. > :13:04.

:13:04. > :13:14.unfortunately, as has never reached dashed -- has never reached the

:13:14. > :13:32.

:13:32. > :13:42.internationals and Yorkshire players. 100! This man has been

:13:42. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:55.winning titles since 1993. 180! The already in the first leg, the

:13:55. > :14:04.

:14:04. > :14:14.leg of the match. 20 leaves double 16. So close! Martin, you require

:14:14. > :14:47.

:14:47. > :14:55.present. -- Sally. John is 50 years of age this year but he skipped up

:14:55. > :15:05.to the oche. He says he doesn't like playing in the but he is up

:15:05. > :15:05.

:15:05. > :15:15.for it. -- playing early. He has won more trophies than you could

:15:15. > :15:18.

:15:18. > :15:28.ever imagine. In fact, Sally has a standing order with Brasso.

:15:28. > :15:38.

:18:13. > :18:20.spectacles. -- the first world champion. That was in 2001. We

:18:20. > :18:30.waited six years for the second, Martin Adams, in 2007. And then

:19:02. > :19:12.finishing in this first set. A good twenties, double 18, to save the

:19:12. > :19:17.

:19:17. > :19:27.set. -- two treble 20s. Three 19th and... Ferrar the 19th. The two

:19:58. > :20:03.fresh. He seems to have no problem with his reach. Everything back to

:20:03. > :20:07.normal. Yes, you mentioned the shoulder injury and if you look at

:20:07. > :20:13.three years in which she won the titles. He won a lot around the

:20:13. > :20:17.turn of the millennium and then nothing major until 2009, when he

:20:17. > :20:27.won the Flanders open. He backed that up with victories in 2010 and

:20:27. > :20:27.

:20:27. > :21:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:21:34. > :21:44.done. But now John with 114. He leg in a row for John Walton. Not

:30:38. > :30:48.advantage of throwing first. He has not won a leg with his own throat

:30:48. > :30:57.yet. That is unbelievable. -- with his own throw. 7 legs we have

:30:57. > :31:05.played and only once has anyone held Berthe throw. -- held their

:31:05. > :31:15.throw. On that basis, you would fancy it Martin Atkins for this

:31:15. > :31:51.

:31:51. > :32:00.set? Looking at the statistics, yes. A we have seen a few bounce outs

:32:00. > :32:05.and a lot of doubles missed so far. He was aiming for the bull but did

:32:05. > :32:15.not come very close. This is a tense leg. They are doing

:34:14. > :34:18.all the way to the final. Work they it badgers? I do not know if they

:34:18. > :34:28.were Wolfie. So I think they are badgers because they are set

:35:03. > :35:13.His nickname is The Badger. He is before! I wonder if he can see

:35:13. > :35:26.

:35:26. > :35:31.through that. I wonder if it is my started at 1pm. Most of the crowd

:35:31. > :35:41.were here at 11am. They have had big journeys. I wonder what he

:35:41. > :35:41.

:35:41. > :35:47.looked like on a train coming year at 9am on a Sunday morning. Game,

:39:25. > :39:55.

:39:55. > :40:00.four. She played a Karen Lawman well. No. No bull. We have had

:40:10. > :40:36.

:40:36. > :40:43.is not easy. A has got to do the counting and then translate into

:43:21. > :43:22.

:43:22. > :43:32.What has often got? -- he started well with 135. What has Bolton have

:44:08. > :44:09.

:44:09. > :44:19.from Martin Atkins. Not on a finish. John knows he has six darts. We

:44:19. > :44:20.

:44:20. > :44:26.would have wanted more than that. 161 for John Walton when he comes

:44:26. > :44:36.back to the oche. Treble 20 will put it under pressure. He has got

:47:20. > :47:27.Options, treble 19... He has gone for the bull and he has hit it. He

:47:27. > :47:37.is moving a cross. He wants the bull. If it had been a fraction

:47:37. > :47:46.

:47:46. > :47:52.Atkins. That is a break of throw. If he can hold a throw price, he

:57:11. > :57:21.look at that now. John Walton had Scott to win all three secs. -- had

:57:21. > :57:34.

:57:34. > :57:44.completely. We should say as well back at this stage Martin Atkins

:57:44. > :57:45.

:57:45. > :57:52.was hitting 40% of all doubles. John Walton is up. He is like that.

:57:52. > :57:57.He does that a lot. When he is on his darts he does not missed beat

:57:57. > :58:01.doubles but he seems to go on the doubles. He said he is a dart

:58:01. > :58:11.player and the other one is a mechanic. He might give him a job

:58:11. > :58:13.

:58:13. > :58:23.on Monday! He certainly loves his double 18. He joins us just in time

:58:23. > :58:26.

:58:26. > :58:33.to watch that. Martin Atkins, You are a master technician of the

:58:33. > :58:40.motor trade. What type of car where you today? Our work on Ford but I

:58:40. > :58:45.was a bit like a Ferrari today. started a little slowly but he were

:58:45. > :58:50.really hitting of doubles, up to 40% at one stage. When it mattered,

:58:50. > :58:56.you did not show any nerves. Playing tonne, this is probably the

:58:56. > :59:04.hardest first round I have ever had. -- playing at the John. I have had

:59:04. > :59:09.ups and downs. Playing John, I love him to bits. He was a one he got me

:59:09. > :59:13.to come on the circuit and do this sort of thing. We play pairs

:59:13. > :59:18.together and practise together. I will be honest with you, I did not

:59:18. > :59:23.think I would win today. I was confident that I would give John a

:59:23. > :59:28.great game. But he has been awesome the last year. I have been up and

:59:28. > :59:32.down. I qualified at the last minute. Normally it is happy days

:59:32. > :59:38.but this time it was September. You were there when I won the game that

:59:38. > :59:44.qualified meat. You interview me there at Chelsea. Was the

:59:44. > :59:50.difference when the John had Scott to win the second set and the third

:59:50. > :59:55.and he missed it. Did that make you more confident? John will always

:59:55. > :59:59.give your chances because he misses a few doubles. I thought to myself,

:59:59. > :00:03.as soon as I got the draw, I have been on the practice board every

:00:03. > :00:12.single day. I have practise more for their stand I have ever

:00:12. > :00:16.practised. Even on Christmas Day, I was at meant -- at my mum's. I

:00:16. > :00:23.practise my doubles, my scoring, everything was stuck mainly because

:00:23. > :00:33.I was playing John. He is a class boy. A great dart player. I knew I

:00:33. > :00:34.

:00:34. > :00:38.could beat him but I thought, the last two years I have gone out of

:00:38. > :00:47.stock with all due respect to our next competitors on stage, it

:00:47. > :00:51.really looking to Willy van de Wiel and Dave Prins. If he did supplying

:00:51. > :00:58.himself practising on Christmas Day, he will go a lot further. I am

:00:58. > :01:04.going to practise more. I am so happy to get through the first game.

:01:04. > :01:13.The thing is, I have played ex- world champion John and got through.

:01:13. > :01:20.A few years ago I had Wolfie up -- Wolfie on the ropes. Those sort of

:01:20. > :01:24.games, they stick in your head. have put the hours in so you get

:01:24. > :01:29.the rewards. You cannot come to this tournament and not practice

:01:29. > :01:34.was but that is a good lesson for all of the kids. Can I say hello to

:01:34. > :01:38.my kids. I Love You to Bits. I will ring you later. I am still in!

:01:38. > :01:43.may have missed Christmas Day television but you were the man

:01:43. > :01:53.With the Golden darts to date. Thank you very much. Will you watch

:01:53. > :01:54.

:01:54. > :02:04.the next game? Or of my mates are playing now. Garry, Scott.

:02:04. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:20.Yorkshire's Sunday! Thank you very Dave Prins goes against the

:02:20. > :02:26.Dutchman, Willy Van De Wiel. The is very popular. The is also

:02:26. > :02:31.threatening to go further. He is a fair player. He is a solid player.

:02:31. > :02:35.He puts his head down a little bit. If he goes for a double and has had

:02:35. > :02:41.three hearts, he puts his head down. He is a good score and a good

:02:41. > :02:47.finisher when he is playing well. But he sulks a little bit. Dave

:02:47. > :02:54.Prins is a steady player, not explosive, just steady. We said

:02:54. > :02:59.before, Walton -- Alton, Atkins, not easy to choose a pick-up. Scott

:02:59. > :03:03.Waites is on that later. This one is different again. I would not

:03:03. > :03:09.have a bet on this game. I would just say that Willie is in front a

:03:09. > :03:15.little bit. He wouldn't have a bet on it? That makes a change. I've

:03:15. > :03:20.never heard to say that before. Wonders never cease. Rob Walker is

:03:20. > :03:23.a with the travelling orange army. I tell you what, they did not need

:03:23. > :03:28.any excuse to be up for it. The atmosphere at the end of that last

:03:28. > :03:35.match was electric. It has got the Dutch fired up. This guy is called

:03:35. > :03:41.Fonz. Fonz, you've been coming here for five years. What is the appeal?

:03:41. > :03:45.I say to the guys back home a that this is the maker of the darts

:03:45. > :03:49.world. All nations are sitting together on every table. They are

:03:49. > :03:55.enjoying the game and everybody is polite to each other. They have a

:03:55. > :04:02.quiet game and it is brilliant. Eric, let's bring you in? That is

:04:02. > :04:12.sensational. How big a sport is darts and Scott in Holland? It is

:04:12. > :04:13.

:04:13. > :04:16.big but not as big as in England. So, yeah. Eric, a lot of people say

:04:16. > :04:21.that Willy Van De Wiel play is far too quickly. Do you think he needs

:04:21. > :04:26.to slow down to have a decent chances we? No, I don't think he

:04:26. > :04:32.should slow down. He plays very fast always and that is what brings

:04:32. > :04:42.him here. By playing fast he got here so he should play fast going

:04:42. > :04:44.

:04:44. > :04:47.forward. A you are guaranteed a Dutchman in the second round.

:04:47. > :04:50.have one Dutch player in the second round so we are looking forward to

:04:50. > :04:56.that. How long are you guys here for? Have they got open tickets or

:04:56. > :05:01.are you going out on Tuesday? always go for the first weekend

:05:01. > :05:09.only. We see a lot of games, a lot of upcoming players. We are

:05:09. > :05:15.enjoying it. Dutchman or Englishmen, whoever, who is your tip for the

:05:15. > :05:18.world title? Scott Waites. We shall find out. Colin, these guys are

:05:18. > :05:21.seriously offered this afternoon. They are pacing themselves but they

:05:21. > :05:26.get the feeling they are going to go pretty large when Willy Van De

:05:26. > :05:31.Wiel comes out. Thank you very much. They have travelled many a mile but

:05:31. > :05:41.the only distance that really matters is the seven for it 9 1/4

:05:41. > :05:51.

:05:52. > :06:01.inches from the oche to the gentlemen, let's play darts! From

:06:02. > :06:02.

:06:02. > :07:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:07:54. > :08:01.the Netherlands, please welcome a Sunday afternoon fans down by the

:08:01. > :08:05.Lakeside. Dave Prins said he would never come back again, he said he

:08:05. > :08:08.did not have the form all the time to get the ranking points. But he

:08:08. > :08:16.is chuffed to bits to be back in these championships. From Willy Van

:08:16. > :08:23.De Wiel, what can expect? The No. 10 seed blows hot and cold like a

:08:23. > :08:28.bathroom tap. So many questions to be answered in the next five sets.

:08:28. > :08:36.The man who practises every day, Taser -- Dave Prins from the north-

:08:36. > :08:41.east. They call him the Badger. It is a welcome return. He didn't

:08:41. > :08:47.think he would be able to devote the time to darts that he needed to.

:08:47. > :08:53.But here he is. Willy Van De Wiel has been here three times before.

:08:53. > :08:58.He has reached the second round twice. He once hit a 161 checkout

:08:58. > :09:07.to defeat Ted Hankey. It is Willy Van De Wiel the No. 10 seed, who

:09:07. > :09:11.gets us under way. If he can keep hitting the 140, keep playing the

:09:11. > :09:14.game at its Kayce is comfortable with, you should see him justify

:09:14. > :09:19.that seeding. It's what happens when the game doesn't go his way is

:09:19. > :09:29.the key to this, I think. He has a tendency to let his head drop a bit

:09:29. > :09:32.

:09:32. > :09:42.when he feels he is not up to visits has lost in the first round.

:09:42. > :09:42.

:09:42. > :11:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:11:46. > :11:48.throw. One thing is for certain, the badger will not played to his

:11:48. > :11:58.opponent's pace. He will be steady all the way through. The Dutchman

:11:58. > :12:02.has got to cope with that. We have heard lots of players say they

:12:02. > :12:08.practised on Christmas Day. Willy Van De Wiel updated his website on

:12:08. > :12:13.Christmas Day. He assured his fans that he was having a merry

:12:13. > :12:23.Christmas. Did you log on yourself on Christmas Day? It is what I wait

:12:23. > :12:42.

:12:42. > :12:47.County Durham and because he is between jobs, it gives him more

:12:47. > :12:51.time to devote to darts. His intention for 2012 is to play a lot

:12:51. > :12:55.more tournaments. He has been around a long time, is vastly

:12:55. > :13:05.experienced, but has never had the funds behind him to ply his trade

:13:05. > :13:08.

:13:08. > :13:13.for times. There is his partner, Clare. You do not need a

:13:13. > :13:18.commentator when Willy Van De Wiel plays because your kids his own

:13:18. > :13:28.critique as it goes along, with his nods and shakes of the head. He is

:13:28. > :13:33.

:13:33. > :13:43.like a Dutch Cat On A Hot Tin roof, needs 12 Four tops. -- hold his

:13:43. > :14:20.

:14:20. > :14:24.Dutchmen in the draw this year. That is a record for Dutch

:14:24. > :14:29.participation. We only had three players in each of the last two

:14:29. > :14:39.years. At least we are guaranteed one Dutch player through to round

:14:39. > :14:39.

:14:39. > :15:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:15:24. > :15:34.two. Christian Kist and Jan Dekker from Willy Van De Wiel. This, for

:15:34. > :15:51.

:15:51. > :15:57.176? Not enough, is the answer. This should be fairly regulation

:15:57. > :16:07.but it is for the set. It is regulation. Very accomplished

:16:07. > :16:16.

:16:16. > :16:22.performance in that first set from with his own darts in that set. He

:16:22. > :16:32.had three darts and a double, missed the Mall. The average just

:18:13. > :18:17.up with 40 year-old starts, given to him by his old man. Now would be

:18:17. > :18:27.a nice time to start winning legs. He has made it hard for himself. He

:18:27. > :18:42.

:18:42. > :18:52.has rather blocked the treble 20 isn't it? -- two 16s, two eights.

:18:52. > :18:52.

:18:52. > :20:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:20:54. > :20:58.checkout. That is what he was Willy Van De Wiel's throw for the

:20:58. > :21:05.first time in this match. A bit tricky this, you don't want to miss

:21:05. > :21:15.on the inside. You can tell from the way he threw that second heart

:21:15. > :21:18.

:21:18. > :21:22.-- second dart, a little bit shakes his head. Some people are

:21:23. > :21:32.never satisfied! I wonder what he would do if he won the world title.

:21:33. > :21:33.

:21:33. > :21:37.He might not, but only if he finishes well. That is not a good

:21:37. > :21:44.start from Dave Prins their. You want to impose yourself in a leg as

:21:44. > :21:49.early as you can. I am not saying that Willy Van De Wiel stepped in

:21:49. > :21:59.and took full advantage but Dave Prins has put himself on the back

:21:59. > :21:59.

:21:59. > :22:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:22:49. > :22:55.foot with for sloppy darts. He has leaves him on a finish. Yeah, but

:22:55. > :22:59.what pressure he is on. 150 to throw -- hold his throw with Willy

:22:59. > :23:04.Van De Wiel waiting. The pressure tells. He cannot complete the

:23:04. > :23:10.checkout. He doesn't put enough pressure on the Dutchman. This

:23:10. > :23:20.should be regulation. He is going to need both of his darts. Oh, dear.

:23:20. > :23:44.

:23:44. > :23:54.Not good. Dave, you require 90. second chance their. He is going to

:23:54. > :25:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:25:12. > :25:15.Willy Van De Wiel. The timing of that 140, it makes a major

:25:15. > :25:19.impression as we get to the business end of the leg. Willy Van

:25:19. > :25:29.De Wiel has bought himself six starts. He might only need two of

:25:29. > :25:55.

:25:55. > :26:00.two-set lead, to twelves. -- two. He has missed five dance for the

:26:00. > :26:10.set now. Dave Prins apply as much pressure so far as a feather duster,

:26:10. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:23.quite frankly. Can he take out this 151? No. 100. Serious stuff now.

:26:23. > :26:28.For the second set, double six. He took his time. But in the end, he

:26:28. > :26:38.does make that double and that advantage he built with the scoring

:26:38. > :26:39.

:26:39. > :27:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:27:34. > :27:43.counts. Willy Van De Wiel is to set himself into a treble 20. Let's see

:27:43. > :27:50.if he can do it again. Kind of. The thing is at the moment, in this leg,

:27:50. > :28:00.and a lot of the previous legs, he doesn't have to score 140 or 182 to

:28:00. > :28:17.

:28:17. > :28:27.get the advantage. Dave Prins is those Badger darts. For another leg,

:28:27. > :28:27.

:28:27. > :29:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:29:12. > :29:17.match, has not hit 180. But it doesn't really matter because he

:29:18. > :29:27.has hit plenty of 140 and 100. There is nothing very big coming

:29:28. > :29:33.

:29:33. > :29:43.back from Dave Prins. He is hitting 100 but has only had won 141 No 180.

:29:43. > :29:51.

:29:51. > :29:55.as well. It can feel like time is running out on you when you play

:29:55. > :30:02.Willy Van De Wiel. He is just so quick and everything is going by in

:30:02. > :30:07.a flash. You barely retrieve your darts from the board and it is

:30:07. > :30:17.you're going to throw again. It is a characteristic of the Dutch style.

:30:17. > :30:33.

:30:33. > :30:43.140! They produced some very rapid darts at the moment, as well.

:30:43. > :31:09.

:31:09. > :31:19.leg. He has only won one or match. once, he had at the two

:31:19. > :31:53.

:31:53. > :32:00.opportunities at a double. He Prins on a couple of occasions in

:32:00. > :32:06.the past. He has actually lost both of them. Two years ago, and a year

:32:06. > :32:11.further back at the Swiss Open. He could be on his way to a first ever

:32:11. > :32:21.victory against Prins. But whatever he does today, he has his own place

:32:21. > :32:29.

:32:29. > :32:39.at the BDO World Championship. -- 1000th. He will be remembered for

:32:39. > :32:49.

:32:49. > :32:59.the pressure. So the Dutchman has six starts at least from 181 to

:32:59. > :32:59.

:32:59. > :34:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:34:27. > :34:37.But well done to Prins, a good Willy van de Wiel has dominated

:34:37. > :35:02.

:35:02. > :35:12.but hasn't hit enough either side five anyway, but you don't want to

:35:12. > :35:28.

:35:28. > :35:38.see any point disappear on the if he wins this leg, wins the match,

:35:38. > :36:11.

:36:11. > :36:19.be the last three dart for the badger. He has not done himself

:36:19. > :36:29.justice, Dave Prins, so far in this match. The badger watches at

:36:29. > :37:08.

:37:08. > :37:12.two legs all afternoon, and I am For the third year running, he

:37:12. > :37:16.reached his second base. Martin Atkins awaits, which means one of

:37:33. > :37:39.good, the rest usually are. 11 at 140s. But the first one isn't, they

:37:39. > :37:42.can be all over the shop. doubles... Fast players, often they

:37:42. > :37:47.should slow up a little bit when they go for a double, because they

:37:48. > :37:56.are all over the shop, you're wasting dards to get a double. He

:37:56. > :38:00.is not anywhere near it. That is not good enough, really. OK, Dave

:38:00. > :38:05.Prins didn't play at all well. But he done enough, he is happy, but he

:38:05. > :38:11.has got to play better than that. It is getting the first round past

:38:11. > :38:15.you. We will talk a lot about slow and fast play. Somebody like Ted

:38:15. > :38:21.hankie will inevitably slow the game down. How important is that in

:38:21. > :38:26.a game of darts? The thing is, there is no rule to say you cannot

:38:26. > :38:32.do it. If you are playing a fast player, take your time. I would

:38:32. > :38:36.have slowed that guy up. You can do that, there is no will to say you

:38:36. > :38:40.can't. Fast players are better to play against, slow players are hard

:38:40. > :38:49.to play against, because you can't speed them up, that is the

:38:49. > :38:53.difference. If Ted is playing well, he will play slow. He knows what it

:38:53. > :38:57.is like to win the first round, he put the darts in here with

:38:57. > :39:04.consummate ease. Is this the year? He has been here enough times to

:39:04. > :39:13.feel at home. Can he go to the quarter-final at least? I can't

:39:13. > :39:22.really say. Funny old boy, really. I always say, he wants the A 40,

:39:22. > :39:27.and he is going up the A one! speak to him now.

:39:27. > :39:33.I'm not even going to begin to rise to that date. A fantastic win. When

:39:33. > :39:40.you are fast, you make it look very, very easy. It is not easy, I can

:39:40. > :39:47.tell you. If I hit the travel and I play fast, that is the feeling I

:39:47. > :39:54.have. -- hit the treble. Is it nerds? It is a little bit. When I

:39:54. > :39:59.take too long, hand it shaking. -- my hand is shaking. You are into

:39:59. > :40:04.the second round for the third time. How will it -- much will it mean to

:40:04. > :40:08.you to make an appearance in the quarter-final? I hope so. It is

:40:08. > :40:13.always a good feeling. What Adams said yesterday, the first one is

:40:13. > :40:18.always difficult, so I am happy to win it. Dave did not play well, he

:40:18. > :40:23.can play much better. Maybe quarter-finals. It seems as though

:40:23. > :40:27.it is a special time for Dutch darts. Eight players made it here

:40:27. > :40:33.to Lakeside, what is going so well over there? A we have plenty of

:40:33. > :40:38.good players in Holland. The reason that eight people are here it is

:40:44. > :40:48.is the reason. Plenty of good Dutch players. The commentators were

:40:48. > :40:52.pointing out how you're always talking to yourself, whether you

:40:52. > :41:01.hit or miss, what are you saying to yourself as you walk up to retrieve

:41:01. > :41:07.the Arrows? I want to cheer myself up. If I hit a 45, 26, it is, come

:41:07. > :41:14.on! You can do better! Well done today. We are looking forward to

:41:14. > :41:19.seeing you in the second round. The thing is, he is so softly

:41:19. > :41:25.spoken and well-mannered, and very humble, he fades into the

:41:25. > :41:32.background, everything you are not, really! Thank you! At least he told

:41:32. > :41:38.the truth, that board. -- that boy fostered and he swears in doubt,

:41:38. > :41:42.that is what we don't know what he is saying. -- he swears in Dutch.

:41:42. > :41:49.Scott Waites has never been able to tie the knot with the trophy he

:41:49. > :41:54.lost after so much. But he is the hot favourite this year, after

:41:54. > :42:04.winning the Masters in 2011, knocking out will be Adams along

:42:04. > :42:23.

:42:23. > :42:28.That was my first major win over Martin Adams, he has always pipped

:42:28. > :42:38.me in the past. To get one over him did more, but it's a world of good.

:42:38. > :42:50.

:42:50. > :42:56.I knew I could beat him, and I knew The final, all I wanted to do was

:42:56. > :42:59.to get up there and play well, keep my concentration. Keep your

:42:59. > :43:04.concentration all day long is the hardest thing to do. I don't think

:43:04. > :43:14.I have played really bad in them against, I don't think I have had

:43:14. > :43:21.

:43:21. > :43:30.Martin Phillips, when I played Martin Phillips, he were four sets

:43:30. > :43:40.to 0 up against me. And never really got into that game. I slowed

:43:40. > :43:54.

:43:54. > :44:00.my own game up a little bit, and I I miss a lot of doubles, he took

:44:00. > :44:10.his chances. The better than one on the day. I am not bitter about

:44:10. > :44:13.

:44:13. > :44:20.losing. Just wasn't my day or week The higher up in the world rankings

:44:20. > :44:24.you are, the bit more respect you get off the players. To have your

:44:24. > :44:31.name on the back of your shirt, to get up there as world No. 1, it is

:44:31. > :44:40.a good feeling. Sometimes it helps you in again, it gets your opponent

:44:40. > :44:49.jittery as well. -- again there. I don't think I'm a fantastic darts

:44:49. > :44:55.player, I just think I am a Scot, I get up there macro -- I get up

:44:55. > :45:05.there and I play. You have just got a big target, and everybody just

:45:05. > :45:07.

:45:07. > :45:12.wants to be due. We have beaten the It would be nice to be world

:45:12. > :45:22.champion, but it is not to be, it is not to be. You never know, if I

:45:22. > :45:22.

:45:22. > :45:27.play darts like I have been doing, Here we are, back again, and the

:45:27. > :45:33.tests don't come much harder than Scott Waites. I don't have to say

:45:33. > :45:38.anything about him, he has proved over the time that he is a very

:45:38. > :45:42.good darts player, when he won the Grand Slam, probably the pinnacle.

:45:42. > :45:47.I'm just hoping that he does his normal leg side, and doesn't have

:45:47. > :45:56.too good a time! How do you deal yourself up mentally to take on

:45:56. > :46:01.someone who is on such good form? don't think... For any game you

:46:01. > :46:09.give yourself up the same, play your own game of darts, know that

:46:09. > :46:14.what you can do is good enough. Everybody is capable of beating

:46:14. > :46:20.anybody on the day. As long as that is my day, that is all that matters.

:46:20. > :46:25.You beat Martin Atkins back in 2008. What would it mean to you to do

:46:25. > :46:30.something special against Scotty here? That is my good omen, the

:46:30. > :46:36.first year, Martin Atkins, another Yorkshireman, and in the second

:46:36. > :46:39.round, I went on to played Ted Hankey, if the draw goes the same,

:46:39. > :46:49.I play another Yorkshireman, I will play him in the second round. Maybe

:46:49. > :46:55.that is a good omen.Nicknamed X-Factor, have you got a sulk in

:46:55. > :47:05.mind? -- a soul. Everybody who knows me knows that I will sing any

:47:05. > :47:08.sum if you give me a microphone. As long as it is a winning song.

:47:08. > :47:16.Moon might need to be the Song-Hee Kim beat Scott Waites in the first

:47:16. > :47:22.round! A strange question, but is there more pressure on Scott Waites

:47:22. > :47:29.than their arrears on Wolfie it going for three in a row? I think

:47:29. > :47:33.so, because he hasn't won it yet. Wolfie has won it three times. So

:47:33. > :47:38.Scott Waites has the pressure on him. We know that he is in great

:47:38. > :47:47.form. I wonder it can receive from him at some stage that thing that

:47:47. > :47:51.comes between the 80 dards and depend darts. He may be second seed

:47:51. > :48:01.and world No. 1 and all of that, but the stage at the Lakeside is an

:48:01. > :48:12.

:48:12. > :48:22.unpredictable mistress, and that is gentlemen! Let's play darts! The

:48:22. > :48:22.

:48:22. > :49:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:49:58. > :50:02.reigning master, welcome, Scott So Andy Bolton has the X-Factor,

:50:02. > :50:12.but Scott Waites, according to Bobby George, is only going in one

:50:12. > :50:16.

:50:16. > :50:21.this man got the X-Factor to knock out Scott Waites? What a

:50:21. > :50:27.fascinating contest of this could be, between two guys who made their

:50:27. > :50:33.debut in the very same year at this Lakeside stage. And the Bolton,

:50:33. > :50:42.still waiting to hit the heights. Scott Waites, I have him as

:50:42. > :50:47.favourite to win the title this year. He has been hot. He has been

:50:47. > :50:53.cold at times as well. If you are to find a weakness in his game,

:50:53. > :50:59.sometimes it is in his starts, he takes a while to get going. Not

:50:59. > :51:04.sure he can afford to do that against Bolton today. We are going

:51:04. > :51:11.to find out, these are the practice darts. Six dart each. Then they are

:51:11. > :51:20.under way. All the pressure, though, on Scott Waites, has that No. 2

:51:20. > :51:30.seed. Let's see if he is up to wit, as the practice dart finish. -- as

:51:30. > :51:59.

:51:59. > :52:04.Scotland, but it was the UK Open that Andy Bolton made a name for

:52:04. > :52:14.himself in, getting to the last 16 at the Reebok. He lost 9-4 against

:52:14. > :52:38.

:52:38. > :52:46.Mark Webster, but a really good final, I believe. The Lanarkshire

:52:47. > :52:56.open. A formal world master himself, of course. -- a former world master

:52:57. > :52:57.

:52:57. > :54:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:54:01. > :54:11.himself. Wait, with a slight Scott Waites missing the bull.

:54:11. > :54:14.

:54:14. > :54:19.Certainly, and the Bolton made no opening set. He is no stranger to

:54:19. > :54:29.this stage, he is a karaoke singer! That is why they nicknamed him the

:54:29. > :54:53.

:54:53. > :55:03.X-Factor. Have you ever heard him the rhythm of the three darts on

:55:03. > :55:20.

:55:20. > :55:30.the border get us all excited this Allam brow. -- Allan Brown. He

:55:30. > :56:07.

:56:07. > :56:17.Bolton, missing out on the treble. That is three Slack darts there. No

:56:17. > :56:17.

:56:17. > :57:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:57:10. > :57:20.Waites had an opportunity to steal Scott Waites! But it was worth the

:57:20. > :57:20.

:57:20. > :58:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:58:38. > :58:48.get up a finish. Scott Waites wants to be on Anna Dale, don't you know?

:58:48. > :58:57.

:58:57. > :59:07.It is his lifetime ambition. I have Not sure how much sway we have, but

:59:07. > :59:29.

:59:29. > :59:39.Waites. Brilliant to see him at its darts. Brilliant to see him also,

:59:39. > :59:43.

:59:43. > :59:53.Scott Yates. -- Scott Waites. A break of throw, Tony. I think he

:59:53. > :00:03.

:00:03. > :00:13.has got the ammunition to run away the former Lakeside qualifier list.

:00:13. > :00:14.

:00:14. > :00:20.He also took out George Dalgleish. A has been playing a few years. He

:00:20. > :00:26.played for Cheshire for a while. As far as players, the Cheshire County

:00:26. > :00:36.this top of the tree. Yorkshireman is forging ahead at

:00:36. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:02.if he can put in a 140, or anything higher, might apply it a bit of

:01:02. > :01:12.pressure to the Scott Waites. The treble has been a bit elusive for

:01:12. > :01:30.

:01:30. > :01:35.Waites. He is on form, this man. Isn't he just! As easy as that.

:01:35. > :01:43.Scott Waites takes the first set. This is the form he showed it to

:01:43. > :01:53.win the World Masters in Hull this year. Big scores, but finishing,

:01:53. > :01:57.

:01:57. > :02:02.spectacular finishing -- good finishing. Good averaging. When you

:02:02. > :02:12.get the ton plus averages, that is good finishing. He beat Dean

:02:12. > :02:14.

:02:14. > :02:24.Winstanley in the final and played a walk on that role. It was 7-2. So

:02:24. > :02:32.

:02:32. > :02:40.161 checkout to win it as well. World Masters title. Gary Robson

:02:40. > :02:45.was also beaten up in Hull. I think Gary Robson actually had a couple

:02:45. > :02:54.of darts to beat him. Like everything else, you can score as

:02:54. > :03:00.high as you wish... It is all about the finish. They have been missing

:03:00. > :03:06.eight doubles. Have you noticed? Most of the players have. There is

:03:06. > :03:13.very true. The Darryl Fitton brain was a gate -- the Darryl Fitton

:03:13. > :03:22.game was a great example that you have to get the doubles to make it

:03:22. > :03:31.count. Waites can check out on 156 and deny him the chance. He can

:03:32. > :03:41.still do it! Pay has the highest checkout of the week so far. Game,

:03:41. > :03:48.shot and the leg, Scott Waites. That certainly shook Boulton.

:03:48. > :03:58.three legs, Scott Waites has checked out well. He enjoyed that,

:03:58. > :04:12.

:04:12. > :04:22.didn't he? I think everybody here thinks he should do best. Not can,

:04:22. > :04:22.

:04:22. > :05:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:05:26. > :05:36.beat Martin Adams 6-2. Singles it seriously for the player as well.

:05:36. > :05:42.That is what I like to see. We have seen 106 already in this match from

:05:42. > :05:51.Scott Waites. His Andy Boulton about to hold his pro-with a decent

:05:51. > :06:01.check out of his own? -- hold his throw. He cannot finish now. I

:06:01. > :06:15.

:06:15. > :06:19.fancy Waites Again. The way it is Boulton. I do not think Andy

:06:19. > :06:25.Boulton is playing second fiddle in terms of not playing very well at

:06:25. > :06:31.the moment. He is just not having the opportunities in a very out of

:06:31. > :06:38.the last four legs. That is what this man can do. When it Boulton

:06:38. > :06:43.has been given the opportunity, he has hit it both times. He has won

:06:43. > :06:53.two legs in the match and has not missed a double. The first leg, he

:06:53. > :07:20.

:07:20. > :07:29.Boulton. That is OK if you stay with your opponent and force them

:07:29. > :07:36.into it and error. That could be the slight error. It depends if

:07:36. > :07:44.Boulton is big enough to take advantage. That is where he wanted

:07:44. > :07:54.140 or 180. Definitely. I have made him favourite for the title so I

:07:54. > :07:57.

:07:57. > :08:07.have not had a winner yet. In 34 years! Waites on 160 finish but it

:08:07. > :08:30.

:08:30. > :08:40.is going to be a lot better off that he has missed. It was not by

:08:40. > :08:41.

:08:41. > :08:51.much. The No. 2 seed has had a lifetime. -- lifeline. He needs

:08:51. > :08:56.

:08:56. > :09:06.another lifeline now. This is Boulton. He takes the lead in the

:09:06. > :09:07.

:09:08. > :09:11.second set. I tell you what, now we have got a game on! For all of the

:09:11. > :09:21.excellent so far that Scott Waites has given us, he is going to have

:09:21. > :09:34.

:09:34. > :09:40.to shift up a gear. Throwing first, players have been very proficient

:09:40. > :09:50.on not that outer ring. Boulton has not had as many opportunities. He

:09:50. > :10:00.has got a better percentage keeping a Scott Waites de mid -- teams.

:10:00. > :10:00.

:10:00. > :11:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:11:21. > :11:30.decent finish. The flight has come Andrew. He has got to hit this.

:11:30. > :11:40.Game, shot and the leg, Scott Waites. This second set continues.

:11:40. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :11:58.Boulton misses, Waites waves in. throws only 60. I wonder if her it

:11:58. > :12:02.has put the pressure on him being here as the favourite? As the

:12:02. > :12:11.second seed? I would have thought there is a bit of pressure that

:12:11. > :12:16.goes with it. He was here as No. 2 seed before. He got to the quarter-

:12:16. > :12:20.finals and played Martin Phillips. He should have beaten him but

:12:20. > :12:24.Martin Phillips came back at him and he had no one -- no real answer.

:12:24. > :12:34.Scott Waites has always been exceeded but I suppose winning the

:12:34. > :12:45.

:12:45. > :12:51.World Masters makes it harder. that is what you are looking for.

:12:51. > :12:56.They are not many players in the history of BDO darts who have won a

:12:56. > :13:06.World Masters and gone on to win the next World Championship. Martin

:13:06. > :13:16.

:13:16. > :13:26.me! You're right, it wasn't you. The great Eric Bristow. Five times

:13:26. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:44.this World Championship three years in a road. Can Martin Adams follow

:13:44. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :14:02.Boulton. If it is there, he is hitting them. I do not know about

:14:02. > :14:12.the excellent factor, -- the X factor, that was The Excellent

:14:12. > :14:24.

:14:24. > :14:30.apiece. He is really getting into this game is Andrew. I will say it

:14:30. > :14:40.again. Scott Waites needs to move up a gear. Not only to shake Andy

:14:40. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :14:56.Boulton off but to stop him coming business. You can definitely see

:14:56. > :15:16.

:15:16. > :15:19.long enough to take this set, that is the question, to stretch Scott

:15:19. > :15:29.Waites a little bit more. He is very nonchalant in everything he

:15:29. > :15:40.

:15:40. > :15:46.He does not seem to have a care in is not one ounce of concentration

:15:46. > :15:49.last at any stage during the visit to the oche. You see players

:15:49. > :15:59.talking to themselves, criticising, shaking their heads. Boulton does

:15:59. > :16:38.

:16:38. > :16:46.darts at the double going in at the first time of asking. Five out of

:16:46. > :16:53.80 for both of them. Closely matched. I have never seen at the

:16:54. > :16:58.doubles go in as well as this. Scott Waites did not get going in

:16:58. > :17:02.the last leg and could not find a treble until it was too late. That

:17:02. > :17:12.is really did the finishing percentages from both players.

:17:12. > :17:17.

:17:17. > :17:24.think he has got him thinking, handed Scott Waites a note telling

:17:24. > :17:29.him that he has tipped him for the title. -- that you have tipped him.

:17:29. > :17:39.That kind of pressure can lose someone at the game. He is back in

:17:39. > :17:39.

:17:39. > :18:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:18:53. > :19:03.successfully completed. You get the feeling that these are two have

:19:03. > :19:41.

:19:41. > :19:51.actually practised the doubles. on out there, the serious business

:19:51. > :19:51.

:19:51. > :19:59.is actually gripping on the stage. One said all, one leg all and not

:19:59. > :20:09.much between that the players. But Scott in this leg has put together

:20:09. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:30.big finish. Capable of doing it? is capable but not even he can do

:20:30. > :20:40.it after missing the first treble 20 Vostok will Waites goes straight

:20:40. > :20:48.for double 17 here? Know. This is tense. That is better! Road Game,

:20:49. > :20:58.shot and the leg, Scott Waites. That was his best in a while.

:20:59. > :20:59.

:20:59. > :21:04.at thinking going thought two first. This is good as well! You have got

:21:04. > :21:14.to be confident that you do not need all very Scott at a double. To

:21:14. > :21:40.

:21:40. > :21:50.be fair, the way he is growing at bit. He does not want to... He has

:21:50. > :21:50.

:21:50. > :22:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:22:51. > :23:00.Boulton to square it! You would not put it past him?! That was a lovely

:23:00. > :23:10.first dart. 3 double 11 was unconventional. It was a little bit

:23:10. > :23:18.

:23:18. > :23:28.Waites. They could have been it so different. This is such a close

:23:28. > :23:55.

:23:55. > :24:05.first. This could give him entry went for the 139. He went for the

:24:05. > :24:05.

:24:05. > :24:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:24:52. > :25:01.two trebles that he could hit the darts. It is well taking -- taken

:25:01. > :25:06.care of. The fans love it. Some of them came at 10:30am. They didn't

:25:06. > :25:16.wake you up, did they?! I saw them through the window. I was still in

:25:16. > :25:27.

:25:27. > :25:35.bed. They never take their eyes off have left his favourite finish.

:25:36. > :25:45.far, whether he wins or loses, Andy Boulton has certainly shown that he

:25:46. > :26:02.

:26:02. > :26:09.can play this sport. Game, shot and there and speeded up. It is looking,

:26:09. > :26:14.you could say, ominous. You say ominous command it is, because

:26:14. > :26:19.Scott Waites is a set up and a leg up, but Boulton is matching him in

:26:19. > :26:23.turn of the check out percentages and in terms of the scoring. He has

:26:23. > :26:32.maybe got to raise his game a bit and that is what he is doing to try

:26:32. > :26:42.and hold his throw. I have seen many matches turn at this point.

:26:42. > :27:05.

:27:05. > :27:13.There is nothing between them at in thought double eight... The one

:27:13. > :27:23.thing he hasn't done is taken out a ton plus a cheque out in this match.

:27:23. > :27:34.

:27:34. > :27:42.Waites. That Sheikh Andy Boulton. The crowd are living it. Now it is

:27:42. > :27:51.ominous. Now it is serious. Andy Boulton has not had a ton plus a

:27:51. > :27:57.cheque out. Scott Waites has had ball of them. -- Scott Waites has

:27:57. > :28:03.had four of them. It is the beauty of this sport. He has gone out with

:28:03. > :28:07.a check out like that and starts with one. Andy Boulton is a whisker

:28:07. > :28:12.away from his own big check out. Less than a millimetre of the wrong

:28:12. > :28:22.side of the wire. Then he stands and watches while Waites completes

:30:41. > :30:46.favourite double. He may have needed one, the match is safer.

:30:46. > :30:56.Well, well, well. For once, Scott Waites couldn't find his range of

:31:17. > :31:37.

:32:48. > :32:58.What is going on? Five Mr dards for once again. He doesn't much fancy

:32:58. > :33:24.

:33:24. > :33:34.his chances by the looks of that And Scott Waites is proof. Boy, did

:33:34. > :33:54.

:33:54. > :34:04.you make it tougher! -- by way it All credit to Andy Boulton of the

:34:04. > :34:11.

:34:11. > :34:16.making of the water so choppy. -- Bobby George, we witnessed live on

:34:16. > :34:19.the BBC the two sides of Scott Waites there. The pressure he feels

:34:19. > :34:24.when he is on the stage here, because the trophy has eluded him

:34:24. > :34:33.so far, and then the great finisher, the man we know can do very special

:34:33. > :34:43.things. The finishing, that is one thing. This is the type of

:34:43. > :34:44.

:34:44. > :34:52.finishing that won him the Masters. Double 18, his favourite double.

:34:52. > :35:01.Here we go. There is no other way he can go for this. Three finishes

:35:01. > :35:07.up a plan plus. -- of a ton of. Would you say the wheels came off,

:35:07. > :35:12.or was it that Andy Boulton never really looked to be overawed? You

:35:12. > :35:16.can see it in his face. I thought he played really well against him.

:35:16. > :35:22.I thought he was going to get bashed up, but he didn't, I thought

:35:22. > :35:26.he played a good game. He made Scott Waites played. But when he

:35:27. > :35:32.did have a chance to win the match, he was snatching at his doubles. He

:35:32. > :35:38.didn't have that when he was checking out the big scores. Also,

:35:38. > :35:43.the sign of a very good darts player, is when you need to come up

:35:43. > :35:50.with that moment of magic. The key moment of that final set for Scott

:35:50. > :35:53.Waites was just, let bang out another time plus a finish. It is

:35:53. > :36:01.the beginning of the match, not the end. That is the hardest thing to

:36:01. > :36:06.do. To finish the game, to win the match. He made it work, I think you

:36:06. > :36:11.will have to buck up a bit more, Scott Waites. As well everybody who

:36:11. > :36:17.has been at this stage. I don't know if they have changed the board,

:36:17. > :36:20.but this is the best one for the doubles. He was made to sweat for

:36:20. > :36:25.it and little bed in the first round, but he is ready to talk to

:36:25. > :36:29.us now. I think there is a little bit of

:36:29. > :36:34.relief here for Scott Waites! I get the feeling you were not happy with

:36:34. > :36:38.that performance. I am happy with the winner, but my scoring let me

:36:38. > :36:42.down big style, I had to do a few decent finishes just to get back in

:36:42. > :36:46.the game. I thought Andy was playing better than me halfway

:36:46. > :36:53.through the game. I had to take the step back, but a breather, get my

:36:53. > :36:58.composure. You are here as the favourite, and that does bring

:36:58. > :37:02.pressure, especially Brent we haven't seen your best darts here,

:37:02. > :37:10.compared to other tournaments. that is right, I have played well

:37:10. > :37:17.this year, have been averaging 100 plus in Mike Gains, I don't know,

:37:17. > :37:23.that was probably early 80s. However, there was some sizzling

:37:23. > :37:29.checkouts! I think my finishing got me through, just about. That were

:37:29. > :37:32.the only good part of my game, the doubles. Do you feel a bit better,

:37:32. > :37:38.not the man say you went through, but the first round, the boat you

:37:38. > :37:43.round, his out of the way. You can now look forward and gains momentum

:37:43. > :37:49.in this championship? Yes, the first one is out of the way, that

:37:49. > :37:57.is the hardest one, I don't know what it were, the first darter was

:37:57. > :38:03.above the trouble every time. -- up of the treble. You are free, we

:38:03. > :38:09.look forward to seeing you in the second round. -- you are through.

:38:09. > :38:17.He has got a job to do, it could be Ted Hankey against Scott Waites in

:38:17. > :38:25.the second round. He says every year, I am going to win this, he is

:38:25. > :38:30.like Mick Jagger! I just want to mention Andy Boulton again. I think

:38:31. > :38:34.his checkout percentage would be in the top three. He definitely came

:38:34. > :38:40.here, did himself justice against the man everyone is tipping. He

:38:40. > :38:44.should be enjoying a celebratory pint or two. He did very, very well.

:38:44. > :38:50.Anyone else in this tournament, he probably would have beaten them.

:38:50. > :38:56.would be through. One more live game here, featuring the seasoned

:38:56. > :39:04.campaigner... I had a mind the black! Gary Dobson. He is that type

:39:04. > :39:09.of guy. He is taking on Paul Jennings, and Paul Jennings is a

:39:09. > :39:18.baby tent here. But he has added three tournament wins in 2011, so

:39:18. > :39:24.he comes it in a confident mood. -- he comes here in a confident mood.

:39:24. > :39:31.I have wanted to be world champion since I was eight or nine. I will

:39:31. > :39:38.football but, it is just went. -- I will fulfil that, it is just when.

:39:38. > :39:44.Since I started doing Snooker -- Super Leagues, I have been

:39:44. > :39:51.improving my consistency. I am good with 180 scores, I take big

:39:51. > :39:56.finishes out. It is the kind of all-round game I have worked on it.

:39:56. > :40:01.I think I have the perfect game at the moment, it is just taking it on

:40:01. > :40:09.the stage, where everyone has a perfect game at Lakeside, doing it

:40:09. > :40:13.in front of thousands. I have been here before, I have been here and

:40:13. > :40:22.watched, it is a different atmosphere altogether. I'm really

:40:22. > :40:27.excited. Hopefully I will progress as far as I can. I have got Garry

:40:27. > :40:30.Thompson in my first round, it is going to be a very tough game. I

:40:30. > :40:34.know he's a good player, he has been here before, been in the

:40:34. > :40:41.quarter-finals. All I have got to do is hit the ground running, take

:40:41. > :40:46.my chances. He is going to take his. I know I made good power scorer, he

:40:47. > :40:53.can take the finishes out. So can I. It is a who takes their chance

:40:53. > :40:59.first. This might be the only chance I get. You never know what

:40:59. > :41:06.happens. So I have just got to go all out to get what I want, which

:41:06. > :41:11.is to go all the way, hopefully. He is absolutely right about Garry

:41:11. > :41:14.Thompson, he will stroll onto the stage calmly, with a quarter-final,

:41:14. > :41:19.quarter-final under his belt. He knows he can do the same this year

:41:19. > :41:25.in that part of the draw. He is a very tidy player, not exciting to

:41:25. > :41:32.watch, he is a slow player, but he is consistent. Why shouldn't Paul

:41:32. > :41:40.gent -- Paul Jennings come here with confidence? He wants to win it.

:41:40. > :41:46.If you don't want to win it, don't go in it! I like to start you

:41:46. > :41:56.talking in rhyming couplets. They say the first cut is the deepest,

:41:56. > :41:56.

:41:56. > :44:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:44:09. > :44:19.gentlemen! Let's play darts! Please So we'll be Cougar get his man?

:44:21. > :44:26.match and end up losing it, you feel you have unfinished business

:44:26. > :44:30.on that stage. When you have nine darts to reach the semi-finals and

:44:30. > :44:37.lose in the quarters for the second year running, you really want to

:44:37. > :44:44.win when you return. That is what Garry Thompson is feeling as he

:44:44. > :44:50.prefers -- prepares for this match against the debutant, Paul Jennings.

:44:50. > :44:54.One of those matches that could go either way. Garry Thompson just

:44:54. > :45:04.needs to play better diets than he ever has at the Lakeside. If he

:45:04. > :45:04.

:45:04. > :45:08.does that, he is comfortably through to round two! Paul Jennings

:45:08. > :45:13.committee replicate what he does in the floor tournaments, is going to

:45:13. > :45:23.give Gary Dobson a really good game. I hope neither breezes. Settle back,

:45:23. > :45:24.

:45:24. > :45:28.put your feet up and it leads to some great darts. -- let's see.

:45:28. > :45:38.degrees upon that stage, and it can come as a shock if you have never

:45:38. > :46:00.

:46:00. > :46:10.get us under way. -- gets us under way. Up against Garry Thompson, the

:46:10. > :46:16.

:46:16. > :46:24.from both players. Let's ignore those six darts! Let's start now.

:46:24. > :46:30.Still waiting for a trouble. -- treble. Gary Dobson should feel

:46:30. > :46:37.more at home, he has been here before. -- Garry Thompson. He has

:46:37. > :46:47.been a winner at the Lakeside in the past 12 months, in the BDO Gold

:46:47. > :46:50.

:46:50. > :46:55.Cup pairs with his best mate, Scott and three semi-finals in 2011, but

:46:55. > :47:05.that was not good enough for a seeding this year. His walk-on

:47:05. > :47:07.

:47:07. > :47:14.music, incidentally, Glory Glory Glory Garry Thompson by a heavy

:47:14. > :47:22.metal group, whose other hits include Dawn of the dicky birds,

:47:22. > :47:28.and the good, bad and the googly. All taken from the album, corridor

:47:28. > :47:34.of uncertainty. If it is not, I will have a percentage of the next

:47:34. > :47:44.album they call that! They are a great band. I'm still waiting for

:47:44. > :47:44.

:47:44. > :48:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:48:39. > :48:44.the hard part. For a break in the visit. And now, when you apply that

:48:44. > :48:54.pressure to hit the bull to finish off a leg, so many players just

:48:54. > :49:13.

:49:13. > :49:23.holders for in the first leg of the match, he would do Britain your

:49:23. > :49:31.

:49:31. > :49:41.hand off. -- would have bitten your Paul Jennings. He knows he can play

:49:41. > :49:47.

:49:47. > :49:57.his day. Talk to Dave Prins, all the players from that region, they

:49:57. > :50:13.

:50:13. > :50:17.will all tell you. Paul Jennings might take him a while to feel a

:50:17. > :50:23.little more accustomed and acclimatised to the stage. Garry

:50:23. > :50:33.Thompson hasn't got that excuse. He should be well suited to the

:50:33. > :50:36.

:50:36. > :50:41.Lakeside by now, this is his 4th their first match on that stage.

:51:15. > :51:43.

:51:43. > :51:48.because he has reached two semi- finals, two quarter-finals, three,

:51:48. > :51:58.I should say, and has won three tournaments in the last 12 months.

:51:58. > :52:12.

:52:12. > :52:17.this third leg of the match. Whenever there is a 180 to start a

:52:17. > :52:27.leg, a bit of extra excitement goes around the Lakeside. But he has

:52:27. > :52:39.

:52:39. > :52:49.followed it with a solid punch, Garry Thompson, only 40 there,

:52:49. > :52:49.

:52:49. > :53:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:53:43. > :53:50.couldn't capitalise on the opening Jennings, winning in 15 and 15 for

:55:30. > :55:40.this leg around a bit. He has, he stage. Not many debutants get out

:55:40. > :56:00.

:56:00. > :56:08.start of this leg, and right to do so. The momentum is all with him,

:56:08. > :56:18.but he doesn't want to get carried away, and rush things. The darts

:56:18. > :56:20.

:56:20. > :56:26.are flowing for him a lovely at the player making their Test cricket

:56:26. > :56:30.debut who takes five wickets, and comes off, and the first question

:56:31. > :56:40.is, it is easy, this lark, isn't it? That will be our first question

:56:42. > :56:48.confident, and not feeling the pressure when I spoke to him a few

:57:03. > :57:12.opponent. Thomson is a steady of raw player, his partner is

:57:12. > :57:16.watching him as about. But he has yet to average over 90. You wonder

:59:00. > :59:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:59:48. > :59:58.Jennings has still got half a chance if he can get 177 or 171

:59:58. > :00:02.

:00:02. > :00:12.here. He did not do it. That would keep the pressure on Garry Thompson.

:00:45. > :00:51.Game, shot and the leg, Garry starts off with a 60 and event,

:00:51. > :01:01.brilliant, I will take advantage. There's something about this sport

:03:14. > :03:22.Thompson holds the throw. This is a big, big leg in this match. In the

:03:22. > :03:32.context, yes. I could be wrong, but I do not seek Garry coming back

:03:32. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:15.from -- I do not see Garry coming goes on. That will not help. He

:04:15. > :04:25.would not have been on a finished anyway. Thompson could not take the

:04:25. > :05:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:05:09. > :05:18.double. The debutante is in control now. What a big moment that could

:05:18. > :05:24.be for Paul Jennings. The question is, can he relaxed now he is two

:05:24. > :05:34.sets up and throw even better? will he realise how well he is

:05:34. > :05:48.

:05:48. > :05:58.thrown at first, Garry Thompson. He has been broken three times by Paul

:08:05. > :08:09.leg and starts with a 60. Oh dear. Trotting along nicely, two sets up,

:08:09. > :08:13.everything is going your way and suddenly you start to think about

:08:13. > :08:20.what round the tomb might be like and what an achievement it might be

:08:30. > :08:31.

:08:31. > :08:35.like. He has been playing darts for 15 years. Four ranking titles since

:08:36. > :08:45.May of 2010 including three last year, Finland, Switzerland and

:08:46. > :09:03.

:11:42. > :11:43.

:11:43. > :11:53.really was good from Garry Thompson. They plot thing can see it. -- the

:11:53. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:12.plot thickens. The Cat does have Cougar Town? At the moment it is

:12:12. > :12:18.looking that way. Garry Thompson has up his game. The first set, it

:12:18. > :12:23.was rubbish. The sets two and three, a good average is for Garry

:12:23. > :12:28.Thompson. Even though Paul Jennings had a worse average in a set two,

:12:28. > :12:38.he still won it. By far the more consistent player at the moment,

:12:38. > :12:52.

:12:52. > :12:55.Garry Thompson. He is starting to Thompson breaking the throw, a has

:12:55. > :13:05.got all of the momentum going his way into the 5th and final set. I

:13:05. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:14.would not be at all surprised if we that. He is not on a finish.

:13:14. > :13:24.referee has not called the score of 80 yet. They are still trying to

:13:35. > :13:48.

:13:48. > :13:58.It was all confusion. They few have got lost down there at this week

:13:58. > :14:38.

:19:12. > :19:17.some say you should never give up holiday mentally for a leg, it is

:19:47. > :19:55.Thompson will be back. Paul up that should cheer him at! it is

:20:05. > :20:27.

:20:27. > :20:33.match. A good reply from Thompson. Both are averaging 85. Both have

:20:33. > :20:43.hit two maximums. It is just in the fishing, Paul Jennings has hit a

:20:43. > :20:53.writer doubles at the right time. - - has hit the right doubles. The

:22:01. > :22:07.Thompson. Look at what it has done misses but he has got two 5s to

:22:07. > :22:17.level the set. Game, shot and the leg, Garry Thompson. Smiles all

:22:17. > :22:20.

:22:20. > :22:29.and the cheering on Paul Jennings, this must be a horror at the moment.

:22:29. > :22:34.He was two sets up. He is still leading but he was two legs up and

:22:34. > :22:39.Garry Thompson has paid him back. Every time the coup d'etat seems to

:22:39. > :22:49.give off an opportunity, he hits back. This is going to hurt,

:22:49. > :23:06.

:23:06. > :23:11.surely? Another 140 from Paul have been landing. That is 80. So

:23:12. > :23:20.he has lost their, Vassos. Two bounce outs. The first hit the

:23:20. > :23:27.flight and then the stem. Bounced ups No. 5 and 6 coming at this

:23:27. > :23:37.crucial time. But only 59 from Garry Thompson! Paul Jennings,

:23:37. > :23:50.

:23:50. > :23:54.forget it bounced outs, Thompson 50th maximum of the tournament. For

:23:54. > :24:03.the second leg running, Garry Thompson and not thinking about

:24:03. > :24:09.leaving the out the shot. The 140 would not have left him on a finish.

:24:09. > :24:19.Fabia devolves reply from Paul Jennings. -- a beautiful reply from

:24:19. > :24:24.

:24:24. > :24:34.as throw for the match! Garry Thompson has pledged Paul Jennings

:24:34. > :24:45.

:24:45. > :24:55.back. He has been waiting far a round still proves elusive. The

:24:55. > :24:58.

:25:08. > :25:19.

:25:29. > :25:48.

:25:48. > :25:53.-- too much. He cannot finish. Is it the 7th time lucky for Paul

:25:53. > :25:59.Jennings? This may take the pressure off, Thompson has left

:25:59. > :26:09.himself seven so he will only have two Scott. He cannot miss again

:26:09. > :26:38.

:26:38. > :26:48.next macro -- he cannot miss again! second round, Paul Jennings!

:27:04. > :27:14.the shirt today. Thompson is apt. Paul Jennings stays. -- Thompson is

:27:14. > :27:19.out. One of those games where you feel the first thing To do is say

:27:19. > :27:26.thank you for both of them for providing such drama? They started

:27:26. > :27:34.off so bad. Paul Jennings thought, I can do this. Thompson started

:27:34. > :27:43.coming back at him. It was interesting. The first Tom legs

:27:43. > :27:52.went to Paul Jennings. He was 2-1 up. He had missed four doubles. The

:27:52. > :27:59.this was the test of his nerve. Two sets but to nil. Then we realised

:27:59. > :28:09.that his bike was the same as his bark. He said beforehand, I am not

:28:09. > :28:13.

:28:13. > :28:19.nervous. Dear ring it is a different job. What a last leg.

:28:19. > :28:24.First-time here, he is in the second round. Donson, he pushed the

:28:24. > :28:28.game. He turned the game around. I enjoyed it. It is interesting

:28:28. > :28:33.because he plays Steve Douglas next and I think it is intriguing

:28:33. > :28:37.because so far they are the two players who have gone up there and

:28:37. > :28:42.answered questions. One of those is in the quarter-finals. It is not a

:28:42. > :28:46.bad draw for the pair of them. I would not like to say who will win

:28:46. > :28:56.but I thought Paul Jennings but but I think he will probably the 10th.

:28:56. > :28:57.

:28:57. > :29:01.Based on that performance. That is You treated us to a great show.

:29:01. > :29:07.Told us through the emotion that you were going through as you try

:29:07. > :29:12.to close that out. Every emotion I have ever felt. It was amazing.

:29:12. > :29:16.Adrenalin rush. Brilliant. A lot of people out there was docked a lot

:29:16. > :29:20.of people. You do not realise until you get on the stage. It is

:29:20. > :29:28.unbelievable. The atmosphere is brilliant. That is why we come here.

:29:28. > :29:33.Did you believe you had a chance? Garry Thompson is a two-time

:29:33. > :29:36.quarter-finalist. He is an absolutely amazing player. I would

:29:36. > :29:40.not be if I did not believe I could when it was stopped when your wife

:29:40. > :29:47.comes in, you will have to give her a hug because she lived every

:29:47. > :29:50.single arrow. She is the better half. Everything I do it is far had

:29:50. > :29:56.and the children and everything. You waited 15 years for this baby.

:29:56. > :30:00.Has it been worth it? Every second of it. Even on the double!

:30:00. > :30:06.Congratulations. It was superb to watch. You are through to the

:30:06. > :30:13.second round. Thank you very much. They feel good a story at the

:30:13. > :30:18.Lakeside. Their real family man. You can seat his eyes filling up

:30:18. > :30:21.there. What a performance. Sweat and tears at the Lakeside. Paul

:30:21. > :30:28.Jennings goes through to the second round. It has been an interesting

:30:28. > :30:33.day. We have lost John but that was thoroughly deserved. John Walton

:30:33. > :30:40.started off OK and I thought he would definitely beat Martin Atkins

:30:40. > :30:50.but then at Martin stood his ground. Willy van de Wiel, what do you

:30:50. > :30:56.think? A road Willy, that was a practice game for him. Scott Waites

:30:56. > :31:01.is out of the blocks with brilliant finishes. He did the business.

:31:01. > :31:05.looks good but he had to work for it. It was tough. Absolutely. We

:31:05. > :31:10.have got some time on our hands here. Let's catch some highlights

:31:10. > :31:14.of a game from yesterday. It was a shame one of these guys had to go

:31:14. > :31:24.home because they are great value. We will join it at the beginning of

:31:24. > :31:51.

:31:51. > :32:01.moment, five perfect darts! 140! near the six. In that context of

:32:18. > :33:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:33:15. > :33:24.for Robbie Green. -- finishes. And for the second leg running, he

:33:24. > :33:32.starts with a 180. What has dull green got to say about that?

:33:32. > :33:42.also opens up with a 180. -- What has Darrell Green got to say about

:33:42. > :34:18.

:34:18. > :34:28.Fitton must win. He is throwing first. Look at that. All just above

:34:28. > :34:28.

:34:28. > :35:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:35:30. > :35:40.another maximum. He did not miss by desire is there. You can see their

:35:40. > :36:13.

:36:13. > :36:18.early on in his leg. He has got to apply some pressure now on of the

:36:18. > :36:22.Robbie Green a throw. That can certainly help. The trouble is, he

:36:22. > :36:30.often comes back with a big score as well. He has to keep the

:36:30. > :36:40.pressure go. He has come back with a 180. 180! His 8th maximum of the

:36:40. > :36:52.

:36:52. > :37:02.break next time and hold his own throw in the meantime. A lovely

:37:02. > :37:02.

:37:02. > :37:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:37:52. > :38:02.another 40... But Robbie Green will One of the many he has hit in the

:38:02. > :38:19.

:38:19. > :38:27.if he just snuck that second one in. Here is some pressure, though.

:38:27. > :38:37.Double ten. One more chance! He has done it. The third leg, Robbie

:38:37. > :38:37.

:38:37. > :39:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

:39:35. > :39:43.seed. 140! And there is the 4th March, when Robbie Green can see

:39:43. > :39:49.the finishing post to head, slips tend to occur and things go awry.

:39:49. > :39:55.Darts is the sport where Europe -- more opponent mucks up a bit and it

:39:55. > :40:05.puts the pressure on year. You can tend to tense up. Robbie Green says

:40:36. > :40:41.third title in Miro and Dali about to witness the first hat-trick of

:40:41. > :40:46.the championship? It is a hat-trick which Darryl Fitton could well do

:40:46. > :40:50.without. These are his last three darts. Is he going to be a first-

:40:50. > :40:57.round loser for the third year in succession? Robbie Green wants

:40:57. > :41:02.double top to complete the victory or double ten to do it now! And the

:41:02. > :41:12.end is now for Darryl Fitton. So many missed doubles from both

:41:12. > :41:16.

:41:16. > :41:20.players and there are plenty of David Croft was commentating. Let

:41:20. > :41:30.slip through the draw when they are so far. The top of this pretty

:41:30. > :41:31.

:41:32. > :41:37.so far. Martin Adams did what he had to do and there is more to come

:41:37. > :41:42.from him. Ross Montgomery might get better. Tony O'Shea, when he gets

:41:42. > :41:47.going, looks a real threat. One of the performance of Gary Stone and

:41:48. > :41:52.Paul Jennings. Fantastic. You are a big fan of Gary Stone. Putin to get

:41:52. > :41:56.through, Bobby. He has been playing for four years to get this

:41:56. > :42:00.competition. You need a natural gift. You cannot just say I'm going

:42:00. > :42:08.to be a darts player. Four years in and he's won his first round. A

:42:09. > :42:13.marvellous achievement. Dean Winstanley as a debutante reached

:42:13. > :42:16.the final last year. He has such a threat. Dean Winstanley, No. 3 seed,

:42:17. > :42:22.right at the bottom can soak up the atmosphere for the first weekend

:42:22. > :42:26.and all the way through he can sail. Unless Christian Kist does what he

:42:26. > :42:32.might do to Jan Dekker and get better from thereon in. He is a

:42:32. > :42:36.real danger to me in the bottom of the draw. Scott Waites won today 3-

:42:36. > :42:40.1. He comes to their weight of expectation on his shoulders. Of

:42:40. > :42:47.all the players so far, he has shown that when he needs it, he has

:42:47. > :42:51.it. It looked like he was just washing the dishes. If you can

:42:51. > :43:01.Checa out over 100 every shot, you are going to win. That is what he

:43:01. > :43:11.

:43:11. > :43:15.upset could be Ted Hankey keeping come this evening. That might be

:43:15. > :43:20.the biggest upset if ever had at this venue. The pressure is getting

:43:21. > :43:25.to lots of them. Our time is up but it will be back on BBC Two with are

:43:25. > :43:29.the highlights of that game between Ted Hankey and Clive Barden. Before
