:00:41. > :00:49.Good afternoon. Welcome to Frimley Green. We are quite far away from
:00:49. > :00:56.the madding crowd. We are about 500 yards. In the practice the area is
:00:56. > :01:01.Dean Winstanley, Alan Norris. How are you doing? Nice to see you.
:01:01. > :01:05.They still have to make their debut, but already the field has been
:01:05. > :01:12.reduced in 19 after the opening weekend. 48 hours of action to
:01:12. > :01:22.squeeze into the next 150 minutes with Bobby George and David Croft.
:01:22. > :01:28.Here is what is coming. The defending champion Martin Adams
:01:28. > :01:34.enjoyed an opening round with Scott Mitchell. John Walton met Martin
:01:34. > :01:40.Atkins as French it was put on hold. The favourite Scott Waites made his
:01:40. > :01:50.pile after a weight of expectation. -- made his debut. Ted Hankey is
:01:50. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:58.out for blood again. We also a showcase the debutants. First, a
:01:58. > :02:01.man who over two decades of competing here in the Lakeside has
:02:01. > :02:11.went from bad back of nurse to a man of Steel. This year he is going
:02:11. > :02:21.for three in a raw and four overall. This year is No. 19, 9 18th
:02:21. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:27.consecutive year. I always look forward to it. You can look back
:02:28. > :02:37.and think about what happened, but it is about what was. I won a
:02:38. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:46.double. I will watch bits and pieces on the website, there was
:02:46. > :02:55.some great games. I was pleased I came out on top. It took him 14
:02:55. > :03:00.visits to win his first world title, he has won three of the past six.
:03:00. > :03:06.defended it successfully, which I have not done before. That gives me
:03:06. > :03:12.the opportunity to get a hat-trick. That would be another first for me.
:03:12. > :03:16.I like equalling records and going beyond them. All the victories at
:03:16. > :03:22.this event are special, but obviously the first one was really
:03:22. > :03:32.immense. I will always remember that one. It took me another couple
:03:32. > :03:32.
:03:32. > :03:37.of years to secure the next one, but I got it. Scott has been around
:03:37. > :03:41.the circuit for a little while, plays very good darts, he is a
:03:41. > :03:46.difficult man to beat. You cannot take anything for granted with
:03:47. > :03:56.Scott. He can pull the big ones out of the back. The last time I played
:03:57. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:08.him, I was victorious. I think I will win again. That is my plan.
:04:08. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:27.Martin Adams raced to a two set 140. He started with another ton-
:04:27. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :05:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:05:32. > :05:42.oche. He is one of the most Surely not. Martin Adams needs 132.
:05:42. > :05:45.
:05:45. > :05:55.He is going for it. Game, shot and the set, Martin Adams. It was
:05:55. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:16.sensible to go for that, but the where Martin Adams did not have to
:06:16. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:36.go for the bull's-eye finish, still anything. Overall average of 92.8.
:06:36. > :06:43.That is about what he would usually be throwing, but he has only hit
:06:43. > :06:53.one out of every four doubles he has gone for, so that is very good.
:06:53. > :07:11.
:07:11. > :07:21.Those mixed doubles have tracked it give you an idea of the scrappy
:07:21. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:36.nature. He has only hit two out of 10 attempts at 88. He will know he
:07:36. > :07:48.
:07:48. > :07:54.has to play better than this. 180 here would give him great hole,
:07:54. > :07:59.but the pressure has been applied and he is thinking about it now.
:07:59. > :08:09.He has perspiration but he needs inspiration. That expression on his
:08:09. > :08:11.
:08:11. > :08:21.face, it was almost as if he wanted to get off the stage. 100. Scott
:08:21. > :08:42.
:08:42. > :08:52.Mitchell will not give up. Barbie's above the wire. Scott Mitchell
:08:52. > :09:17.
:09:17. > :09:27.blew that final dark above the target. Adams needs double 20.
:09:27. > :09:33.
:09:33. > :09:43.Still we wait. He is on double top. He is huffing and puffing. He has
:09:43. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :10:00.got it! Scott Mitchell with the 4th Mitchell, but in the end the man in
:10:00. > :10:10.pink sunk the dark into that double. -- sunk the dart. Is that the
:10:10. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:20.moment that could change the context of this match? Look at this.
:10:20. > :10:30.He did not capitalise on an excellent first start. Rather than
:10:30. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:44.relaxing, he tensed up. 100. opportunity is still there to take
:10:44. > :10:44.
:10:44. > :11:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:11:48. > :11:58.Scott Mitchell has got six Stark's from 195. -- 6 dart. 59. That would
:11:58. > :11:59.
:11:59. > :12:09.have left him a chance at the double. Not sure why he did that.
:12:09. > :12:10.
:12:10. > :12:20.Scott Mitchell, at you require 136. He needs two treble twenties. He
:12:20. > :12:24.
:12:24. > :12:34.misses the double. Unlucky. Martin, you require 56. No mistake this
:12:34. > :12:40.
:12:40. > :12:45.time. The game and the match to Martin Adams. In latter years, this
:12:45. > :12:51.is his liver rink -- this is his living room. It was not always that
:12:51. > :12:57.way, what is the key to his longevity? He used to get the old
:12:57. > :13:03.hands shake, as soon as he got over that, he was hitting doubles. He
:13:03. > :13:07.does not get nervous. Has he matured as a person? He has spent
:13:07. > :13:17.less time in the bar. He has never been like that, he does not go
:13:17. > :13:22.partying. He is a bit boring. He does not party. He has always been
:13:22. > :13:29.like that, he is a family man. is what you meant, family man, not
:13:29. > :13:33.boring. He does go partying, he just does not invite you. Remember
:13:33. > :13:37.the moment in the commentary box when you thought he had come of
:13:37. > :13:46.age? It was in Bridlington, he threw away the Masters final, then
:13:46. > :13:51.he came back and won the World Championship in 2007. He has only
:13:51. > :13:58.last two matches in five championships. He has been
:13:58. > :14:05.consistent. There is only four matches out of the 23 where he has
:14:05. > :14:13.averaged less than 90. The draw has been kind to him, and he does not
:14:13. > :14:21.need it to be kind. I think you do. You need a bit of luck. He is away
:14:21. > :14:26.from Dean Winstanley. It is not an easy draw, but it is easier.
:14:26. > :14:33.never know at the Lakeside, because we always get people like Dean
:14:33. > :14:40.Winstanley, what camp are UN? Do you like to see familiar names win
:14:40. > :14:46.the trophy on a delight to see younger, slimmer her dark players -
:14:46. > :14:49.- dart players come through? would like to see Martin Adams win
:14:49. > :14:54.the hat-trick, but I think there are exciting young players I would
:14:54. > :15:01.like to see win the trophy. We may get someone not from England
:15:01. > :15:06.winning the trophy. One of the exciting players that is not here
:15:06. > :15:11.is Bobby George junior. I would imagine you are supporting the
:15:11. > :15:19.young players. Nothing against Martin but it is boring if the same
:15:19. > :15:28.player keeps winning. You need youngsters. U-turn on the telly and
:15:28. > :15:34.watch a game of darts, you want to enjoy it. -- if you are turning on
:15:34. > :15:38.the television. If you change the shirt every year it would be better.
:15:38. > :15:48.Take a look at this, because the children have the weight of numbers
:15:48. > :15:52.
:15:52. > :15:59.on their side. We have eight debutants. What shines out? 25 % of
:15:59. > :16:03.the field come from Holland. They do not just come in numbers but in
:16:03. > :16:10.strength. It is lovely to see the Dutch come back with a fighting
:16:10. > :16:14.chance of a victory. Bobby, at you are an oracle on the players, but
:16:14. > :16:19.even you had to do a bit of searching. We do not really know
:16:19. > :16:27.them. The dart players to do the circuit know them, but we have
:16:27. > :16:33.never seen them on television. I cannot even pronounce their names.
:16:33. > :16:37.These guys have a lot of talent. When they get in front of the
:16:37. > :16:45.television, there will be more pressure. It is difficult to play
:16:45. > :16:51.well. The more youngsters we get, the more people we get playing it.
:16:51. > :16:58.We will bring you the final leg of some of those newcomers. We have
:16:58. > :17:08.Ron Meulenkamp and Gary Stone. Netherlands first Scotland. Bobby
:17:08. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:17:49. > :17:55.dart. He will be happy with that. That is unlucky. 120. You get
:17:55. > :18:05.nothing for touching the wire. Could have been his 6140 of the
:18:05. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :19:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:19:00. > :19:10.bit carried away. You require 81. This is his last bark of the
:19:10. > :19:15.
:19:15. > :19:24.tournament. -- Last dart. Gary Stone it only needed one. Gary
:19:24. > :19:34.Stone causes the first upset. Gary Stone's celebrations may have
:19:34. > :19:44.turned to sleepless nights. He could play Martin Adams. Paul
:19:44. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :19:50.Jennings taking on Garry Thompson. Garry Thompson's cheerleaders are
:19:50. > :19:57.loving what they are seeing. If you were Paul Jennings this would be an
:19:57. > :20:07.absolute horror. He is still leading but he was up by two legs
:20:07. > :20:17.in this 4th set. Garry Thompson has pecked him back. This is going to
:20:17. > :20:17.
:20:17. > :21:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:21:10. > :21:20.heart. 140. That is his 11th 140 of not made him pay. 95. He does not
:21:20. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :21:27.want a 140. 180. For the second leg running, Garry Thompson not
:21:27. > :21:37.thinking about leaving that shot. The 140 would not have left him on
:21:37. > :21:43.
:21:43. > :21:53.a finish. That was a beautiful reply. He cannot finish, Paul
:21:53. > :22:06.
:22:07. > :22:16.Jennings will be back to throw for the match. Double 16 needed. 16.
:22:17. > :22:21.
:22:21. > :22:31.Agony for Paul Jennings. The second round is still elusive. Why would
:22:31. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:11.he do that? Paul Jennings once inspiration. Still so close. No! He
:23:11. > :23:39.
:23:39. > :23:45.just wants it too much. Gary, you what a terrific first round tussle
:23:45. > :23:50.that wars. What a performance from the man in pain, but anything Paul
:23:50. > :23:55.Jennings can do, Wesley Harms can do better. Martin Phillips has been
:23:55. > :24:05.a semi-finalist for the last two years, but Wesley Harms cared
:24:05. > :24:15.
:24:15. > :24:20.in the doubles in the first two sets, he looked so relaxed. 140.
:24:20. > :24:30.Now he seems more rubble on the stage, Wesley Harms. -- he seems
:24:30. > :24:30.
:24:30. > :25:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:25:37. > :25:47.again. That is better. He put blown his chance. Wesley Harms, you
:25:47. > :26:14.
:26:14. > :26:24.tend to be square. His wife is distraught. He has raised the roof
:26:24. > :26:26.
:26:26. > :26:30.with that one! Wesley Harms! Wesley Harms has knocked out last year's
:26:30. > :26:40.beaten semi-finalist, Martin Phillips. Unbelievable for the
:26:40. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:46.debutants. This is the top half of the draw. We have seen a lot of
:26:46. > :26:52.these, but an honorary mention for Scotland's Ross Montgomery, who has
:26:52. > :27:00.come here with an new pair of glasses. He means business. -- a
:27:00. > :27:04.new pair of glasses. Tony O'Shea was a winner against the West,
:27:04. > :27:10.there was a really strong performance from Steve Douglas. It
:27:10. > :27:20.was a shame to lose Darryl Fitton in the first round, but Robbie
:27:20. > :27:27.
:27:27. > :27:31.splash at Lakeside. There was absolutely no nurse were these
:27:32. > :27:36.debutants. Paul Jennings, you have been waiting 15 years for you
:27:36. > :27:43.Lakeside debut, and despite the nurse, you enjoyed it. Every second
:27:43. > :27:47.of it. Brilliant. As your wife recover? I spoke to her last night
:27:47. > :27:55.and she was living every arrow. is a bit nervous but she is getting
:27:55. > :28:01.there. Was a different to what you anticipated? It was more nervy than
:28:01. > :28:11.I thought. The atmosphere was brilliant. I got there in the end.
:28:11. > :28:12.
:28:12. > :28:22.Gary Stone, you have only been playing darts or four years. It is
:28:22. > :28:22.
:28:22. > :28:29.a good turn around. After only four years it is special. How did you
:28:29. > :28:36.relax up there? I had friends and family in the crowd, that helped.
:28:36. > :28:44.Did you get plenty of text messages after you finished? Plenty of that,
:28:44. > :28:50.it was fantastic. Next up is Martin Adams. It just gets easier. -- it
:28:50. > :28:57.gets easier. It makes it all the more special to play a man of that
:28:57. > :29:02.stature. Wesley Harms, it is a special year for the Dutch, eight
:29:02. > :29:12.contestants. You seemed to have it totally under control. That is not
:29:12. > :29:14.
:29:14. > :29:22.first two sets I was in the floor, but it got really hard. The last
:29:22. > :29:28.double is the hardest one. I felt lucky. Was it different to what you
:29:28. > :29:33.thick -- to what you expected? have a little bit of experience
:29:33. > :29:40.from tournaments in Holland, but the crowd is bigger and everything.
:29:40. > :29:46.It was not different. You're speaking to me before we went live,
:29:46. > :29:54.you said you would sit with the audience to get the at this clear.
:29:54. > :29:56.I am here for the first time, if I am in the back room, I am thinking
:29:56. > :30:06.am in the back room, I am thinking about the game. If I am with the
:30:06. > :30:07.
:30:08. > :30:11.audience I am thinking about other things. I can think you have nerves
:30:11. > :30:21.of steel. Please some up in one word you Lakeside experience.
:30:21. > :30:30.
:30:30. > :30:35.Amazing. Exciting. Awesome. Colin, I have to say, I did not seek any
:30:35. > :30:40.nerves up there. That guy has played four years, and in those
:30:40. > :30:43.four years, he has played three times for Scotland. It is like he
:30:43. > :30:47.has been on the stage all the time. It is a marvellous achievement,
:30:47. > :30:55.when you think, four years, and you have won your first match at
:30:55. > :30:59.Lakeside. You have got to have a natural talent to do that. Wesley
:30:59. > :31:06.Harms saying it is just like another tournament he has played,
:31:06. > :31:10.he will then, it is not. He has probably been using Gary Robson's
:31:10. > :31:14.hypnotist, that's why Gary Robson went out. But he got the benefit of
:31:14. > :31:18.Martin Phillips not really showing up last night. But you have still
:31:18. > :31:25.got to handle the occasion. That double one to win the match, under
:31:25. > :31:30.pressure, he made no mistake. should not underestimate these
:31:30. > :31:34.newbies, just because they're quite laid back, and quite humble,
:31:34. > :31:39.laid back, and quite humble, they're two fantastic players.
:31:39. > :31:45.have got to have experience, but how do you get that? From playing
:31:45. > :31:51.in tournaments like this. So these young guys will take over. The old
:31:51. > :31:55.ones cannot be there all the time, can we?! It is interesting, we're
:31:55. > :31:59.here in the practice area, in a place called the International
:31:59. > :32:04.hotel. You go over the road, it is the Continental hotel, then you go
:32:04. > :32:08.another 200 yards, and you're in the arena. It is like a mini
:32:08. > :32:13.village. It is not just about handling it on the stage, it is off
:32:13. > :32:16.the stage as well, it is not getting carried away, not being
:32:16. > :32:21.Jack-the-lad with your mates, it is keeping your discipline as well.
:32:21. > :32:25.And a lot of new players get carried away. Paul Jennings is
:32:25. > :32:30.going to find that when he comes to his second match. On Saturday
:32:30. > :32:34.afternoon he had no time to wait around, get nervous, get involved
:32:34. > :32:38.in conversations late at night. Straight in, played his match. Now,
:32:38. > :32:44.he has got to go and do it all over again. But he has had time to think
:32:44. > :32:50.about it. To prove your point, we just showed a nice shot of the
:32:50. > :32:54.practice areas, and who is practising at the moment? Alan
:32:54. > :33:00.Norris, Dean Winstanley, been here before, they know exactly what to
:33:00. > :33:05.before, they know exactly what to do! Moving on now to an all-Dutch
:33:06. > :33:15.affair, and this is absolutely sensational, without any doubt, the
:33:16. > :33:18.
:33:18. > :33:28.game of the first round. Jan Dekker got to the semi-finals last year,
:33:28. > :33:53.
:33:53. > :33:59.while new boy Christian Kist does in the third year of his course.
:33:59. > :34:09.Christian Kist works on the roads. Both tonight starting out on the
:34:09. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:42.road to the big prize in darts. up next, but that's a bull's-eye
:34:42. > :34:42.
:34:42. > :35:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:35:57. > :36:07.match, because if Christian Kist can break the throw, he would be
:36:07. > :36:07.
:36:07. > :36:16.throwing for an 2-0 lead. That does not help, it really doesn't. But
:36:16. > :36:24.he's still in touch, Christian Kist. Well, he was in touch until that
:36:24. > :36:34.moment. That's where I think Jan Dekker has got a lot better.
:36:34. > :37:03.
:37:03. > :37:13.Everything he throws, Christian his first of the match, as he
:37:13. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :37:38.This is Christian Kist to take us into a deciding leg in this set.
:37:38. > :37:48.What a great way to hold your throw. 180, 100, 140. Jan Dekker is
:37:48. > :37:53.
:37:54. > :37:59.getting nowhere near him here. was for a 12-dart leg. But he will
:37:59. > :38:09.be back. He has bought himself the opportunity here, with some big
:38:09. > :38:12.
:38:12. > :38:22.scoring. And Christian Kist levels up the second set. Now comes the
:38:22. > :38:41.
:38:41. > :38:51.a few minutes' thinking, what have I done wrong?
:38:51. > :39:06.
:39:06. > :39:15.VASSOS ALEXANDER: And the answer and more painful, by banging in 100,
:39:15. > :39:21.and then a 140. That was a great replied, but Christian Kist, trying
:39:21. > :39:28.to break the throw, has got the advantage, and look how he's making
:39:28. > :39:38.Jan Dekker pay! His second maximum of the match takes him to the brink
:39:38. > :39:39.
:39:40. > :39:47.of a two-set lead. He has gambled and got away with it, double 16 for
:39:47. > :39:57.the set! The gamble pays off! And the number 6 seed, Jan Dekker, has
:39:57. > :40:12.
:40:12. > :40:20.throw three times, and he's through to the last 16. What can this man
:40:21. > :40:25.do about it? Well, he can throw a few more of those, Jan Dekker,
:40:25. > :40:30.otherwise it is the 25-year-old who goes through to the second round.
:40:30. > :40:40.From the north-east of the Netherlands. That's where Jan
:40:40. > :41:01.
:41:01. > :41:07.a 180 in. Just pulling those darts a fraction, really. A bit too much
:41:07. > :41:17.shoulder going in from Christian Kist there, maybe just trying a
:41:17. > :41:33.
:41:33. > :41:40.He will appreciate double 18, if this goes in. Unlucky. Great to see
:41:40. > :41:48.him back at the Lakeside. Dutchman once said about Andy
:41:48. > :41:58.Fordham, he played darts from a different planet to beat him.
:41:58. > :41:59.
:42:00. > :42:03.these two up on stage are conjuring some magic of their own. And this
:42:03. > :42:13.is some extra-terrestrial stuff on your TVs tonight from Christian
:42:13. > :42:24.
:42:24. > :42:34.Kist. And his girlfriend liking every single bit of it. She shouts,
:42:34. > :42:44.come on, and Christian Kist response, once, twice, nearly three
:42:44. > :42:47.
:42:47. > :42:51.times for the lady. Watching on there is Darryl Fitton. Thinking,
:42:51. > :43:01.why couldn't I play like this? He did with the scoring, sadly not the
:43:01. > :43:11.finishing. Another opportunity to break the throw, which he has done
:43:11. > :43:12.
:43:12. > :43:22.twice in the match already. Still on, bull's-eye to break the throw.
:43:22. > :43:30.
:43:30. > :43:40.Oh, unlucky. How much pressure on this double 16 for Jan Dekker? Big
:43:40. > :43:47.
:43:47. > :43:57.double, can he hit it? Yes, he can. Third leg, Christian Kist to throw
:43:57. > :44:05.
:44:05. > :44:09.first, game on. Christian Kist slightly ahead in the scoring. With
:44:09. > :44:19.his first nine darts, he is starting to boss the leg. Power
:44:19. > :44:25.scoring from the outset. VASSOS ALEXANDER: Or not too shabby
:44:25. > :44:35.on his doubles, either. 50%, which is fine, when you're scoring like
:44:35. > :44:36.
:44:36. > :44:39.he is. Jan Dekker has got to find a way to break the Christian Kist
:44:39. > :44:49.throw in this set, otherwise it's good night to last year's semi-
:44:49. > :45:12.
:45:12. > :45:17.is running out of time a little bit. He needs to break a throw, remember.
:45:17. > :45:27.Double top when he comes back, Christian Kist, for a 2-1 lead in
:45:27. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :46:01.momentum switches? He has got it! He had to do it with one dart, and
:46:01. > :46:20.
:46:20. > :46:26.he did it. Fourth leg, Jan Dekker to throw first. Game on. 180!
:46:26. > :46:34.Christian Kist has given himself 11 more opportunities to hit a double.
:46:34. > :46:44.And therefore he has been more successful. Jan Dekker has got to
:46:44. > :47:02.
:47:02. > :47:12.keep putting in the 180s. That's fails to score more than 100. He
:47:12. > :47:21.
:47:21. > :47:31.can afford it. Not for long, though. That was for the set, and it was
:47:31. > :47:50.
:47:50. > :47:59.for the double eight, and he has got it! That's the set. Well, his
:47:59. > :48:06.partner there, very happy about that. And Jan Dekker deserves at
:48:06. > :48:11.least one set in this match, it does not deserve to go out 3-0. He
:48:11. > :48:17.broke at just the right time, and now has the darts in his hand to
:48:17. > :48:25.start this set. There's a lot of fight left in him. This is just
:48:25. > :48:30.great, isn't it? The kind of darts you expect in a high-quality
:48:30. > :48:39.quarter-final, but this is the first round at Lakeside, and this
:48:40. > :48:49.is a debut for Christian Kist! Remember, of course, the last man
:48:50. > :48:54.
:48:54. > :48:57.to win this Championship on his debut, the Dutchman Klassen, who
:48:57. > :49:07.qualified through the international play-offs that year as well. I am
:49:07. > :49:16.
:49:16. > :49:26.not saying there is an omen in that. 180! Another mini victory for
:49:26. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :49:58.got closer, but not close enough with the final one. In it goes.
:49:58. > :50:07.first leg, Christian Kist. Second leg, Benito van de Pas -- Christian
:50:07. > :50:10.Kist to throw first, came on. Dekker could have taken that leg,
:50:10. > :50:16.but his first mistake has really cost him when he has got down to
:50:16. > :50:26.the doubles. And what a time as well, all he had to do was hold his
:50:26. > :50:52.
:50:52. > :51:01.throw. So, Christian Kist 1 up and more. Jan Dekker has got the
:51:01. > :51:11.advantage back. He needs some new flights as well, he's still using
:51:11. > :51:14.
:51:14. > :51:24.the old nickname on those! Well, he had just been broken, Jan Dekker,
:51:24. > :51:29.
:51:29. > :51:34.he has responded with three 140s. And he takes the leg, to break back.
:51:34. > :51:44.Well, I told you this match was not over yet. There's a lot of life
:51:44. > :51:57.
:51:57. > :52:07.Dekker is well and truly in this contest. Level on the 140s, level
:52:07. > :52:16.
:52:16. > :52:26.on the 180s as well. The averages the statistics out, they're
:52:26. > :52:39.
:52:39. > :52:49.shifting, isn't it? Back and forth, but now maybe more towards the Jan
:52:49. > :52:54.
:52:54. > :53:04.Dekker side. He leaves himself double top. That leaves him a
:53:04. > :53:09.
:53:09. > :53:16.finish. And he has got it. To follow an 11-dart leg, a 13-dart
:53:16. > :53:22.leg. How about this?! He has just got to hold his throw, Christian
:53:22. > :53:32.Kist. Forget what Jan Dekker has done in the last couple of legs,
:53:32. > :53:32.
:53:32. > :53:42.and concentrate on the now. 180! And now, Jan Dekker is really
:53:42. > :53:56.
:53:56. > :53:59.now in front, but those are great numbers, from both players.
:53:59. > :54:07.would not surprise me if we get an average of more than 100 at the end
:54:07. > :54:16.of this match, it would be the 21st occasion since 1978 in this
:54:16. > :54:26.Championship. I mentioned Keith della earlier in the commentary, he
:54:26. > :54:26.
:54:26. > :54:36.was the first guide to average more than 100 here, against John Lowe a,
:54:36. > :54:50.
:54:50. > :55:00.back in 1985. That leaves him 55. That would have been a 12-dart leg.
:55:00. > :55:05.
:55:05. > :55:09.Double top, and he has got it. And so, we either go all the way, or
:55:09. > :55:19.this is the final leg of the match. Who wants it most? Who has got the
:55:19. > :55:25.
:55:25. > :55:33.bottle? If he had hit that 55, Jan Dekker, he would have won a set in
:55:33. > :55:43.36 darts. And there are not many people who win sets here with fewer
:55:43. > :55:45.
:55:45. > :55:50.darts than that. They're into a deciding leg, and if Christian Kist
:55:50. > :55:56.wins it, he wins the match. Maybe it is the advantage of first throw
:55:56. > :56:06.which will help Jan Dekker here. Darts like that are not too shabby,
:56:06. > :56:08.
:56:08. > :56:18.either. No question, the neutrals here want to deciding set, but she
:56:18. > :56:18.
:56:18. > :56:26.doesn't, and Christian Kist doesn't. To emphasise how close they are
:56:26. > :56:36.together, the scoring has been almost identical so far in this leg.
:56:36. > :56:40.
:56:40. > :56:50.Nothing between them! So, Jan Dekker will have a chance here to
:56:50. > :56:51.
:56:51. > :57:00.win the match. He needed treble 18, but was so close, just the wrong
:57:00. > :57:08.side of the wire. And all the pressure goes to Jan Dekker. He
:57:08. > :57:18.drives his hands, tries to keep his cool. Looks at double 12. 66... To
:57:18. > :57:25.
:57:25. > :57:32.save the match. No! Has the sixth seed just been hit for six? He
:57:32. > :57:42.thinks what could have been, as Christian Kist goes for double 16.
:57:42. > :57:45.
:57:45. > :57:55.Double eight... No! He has just missed on the wrong side! 66 for
:57:55. > :58:14.
:58:14. > :58:21.it! It is 2-2 at Lakeside! After the first dart, I think Jan Dekker
:58:21. > :58:25.thought it was in, he almost went walkabout. Now he's doing just that,
:58:25. > :58:35.like some peacock displaying his plumage. It is not looking so
:58:35. > :58:37.
:58:37. > :58:45.shabby now for Jan Dekker. Christian Kist, two doubles for the
:58:45. > :58:55.match, he missed them both. Has he thrown in the towel? Not a chance.
:58:55. > :59:12.
:59:12. > :59:20.What a way to start the deciding they could change the rules and
:59:20. > :59:30.make it best of 11. It is the sort of match where it is a real shame
:59:30. > :59:30.
:59:30. > :01:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:01:32. > :01:42.it is a first round tie. Really final round. Astonishing! And we
:01:42. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :01:58.start again, to try to separate get sudden death. If it gets to 2-2,
:01:58. > :02:08.somebody has to win by two clear legs. I wonder if they are enjoying
:02:08. > :02:32.
:02:32. > :02:42.it. They are throwing superb darts. quarter of an inch. He shook his
:02:42. > :03:00.
:03:00. > :03:10.head in frustration. That is again, Christian Kist moved to
:03:10. > :03:13.
:03:13. > :03:23.within one leg of the match. once again, Jan Dekker response. --
:03:23. > :03:31.
:03:31. > :03:41.responded. That will start the lead Heathrow's, Christian Kist will
:03:41. > :03:41.
:03:41. > :04:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:04:26. > :04:36.first two. That was a good dart. That was brilliant, that has put
:04:36. > :04:42.
:04:42. > :04:50.the pressure on. How cool is Jan Dekker? Match Point once again for
:04:50. > :05:00.Christian Kist. He has had two darts for the match. He has three
:05:00. > :05:03.
:05:03. > :05:10.more here. Double 10. 55. He has done it! He is through to the
:05:10. > :05:16.second round. Jan Dekker is defeated. Last year's semi-finalist
:05:16. > :05:22.loses in round one. It was a game that would have graced any stage in
:05:22. > :05:28.any darts tournament in the world. Can we watch it again? I will never
:05:28. > :05:34.tire of watching games like that. Both players gave everything.
:05:34. > :05:43.was not just the big scores and the doubles, it was the cover shots.
:05:43. > :05:50.Treble 19, treble the teens, that is what you have to do. But you
:05:50. > :05:55.have a clear target. I am quite annoyed they got each other in the
:05:55. > :06:03.first round, because they all have real pedigree. We could have
:06:03. > :06:08.watched that in the final. We saw Christian Kist in the World Masters,
:06:08. > :06:14.he could not be Tony West in his second match, but before that he
:06:14. > :06:20.played a tournament in Holland, there are various matches, he
:06:20. > :06:30.played 48 times in that weekend, he lost one game. That was it. This
:06:30. > :06:39.boy is dynamite. It was the highest average by debutant since when?
:06:39. > :06:44.Hankey? 1998. It is important is a Jan Dekker -- it is important to
:06:44. > :06:49.say that Jan Dekker played his part. This is unbelievable. He played
:06:49. > :06:59.better this year than he did last year and he is out. Also averages
:06:59. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :07:14.over 95. For people who are cajoled that spans, -- and Richard darts
:07:14. > :07:20.
:07:20. > :07:24.fans, if this checkout is more than 40 %, that is great. That average
:07:24. > :07:29.is the second highest we have seen, that would have comfortably taking
:07:29. > :07:34.him through. I have a little problem with Christian Kist. When I
:07:34. > :07:44.was growing up, there was a player I found really hard to watch even
:07:44. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:55.though I liked, because he was less like a human and more like a fish.
:07:55. > :08:02.He was Colin Monk. They have the same mouth. That is the only thing
:08:03. > :08:12.I can complain about. Also, he does not have a nickname. We need to
:08:13. > :08:16.
:08:17. > :08:26.throw some ideas out. Smacker? I was thinking The Kist Of Death.
:08:27. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:33.What do you think? Lipstick. That is fantastic. That is colloquialism
:08:33. > :08:40.for a treble 20. I know for a fact, Christian Kist tops less English
:08:40. > :08:49.than me, so we cannot interview him. He will confirm on this show
:08:49. > :08:59.whether he will go with the nickname through his translator. I
:08:59. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:08.do not jump on bandwagons, but kiss-me-quick. No thank you. I am
:09:08. > :09:16.with you for the good of the tournament, if he hits those type
:09:16. > :09:20.of averages, I am in his camp. Hopefully lead so it -- a lipstick
:09:20. > :09:27.will hopefully go on long way. There has been such an invasion of
:09:27. > :09:30.the orange army in 2012. We have found the man with all the answers.
:09:30. > :09:39.This is the man masterminding the Dutch revolution when it comes to
:09:39. > :09:45.darts. We have memories of you from the semi-final. Each of your
:09:45. > :09:55.countrymen are through to the first round. Three of them have made it
:09:55. > :09:55.
:09:55. > :10:00.to the second round. 50 % of our competitors are through. Where has
:10:00. > :10:07.this revolution come from? invest in youth and it has worked.
:10:07. > :10:12.All the players are quite young so it is paying off. Have you got
:10:12. > :10:15.regional centres around the country? There are a lot of
:10:15. > :10:20.competition that Germans around the regions. They can learn the game
:10:20. > :10:27.there. If they are good enough they can play in the Dutch league, step-
:10:27. > :10:30.by-step they are getting better. it strange being back here in an
:10:30. > :10:35.overseeing capacity when you have achieved great things on the big
:10:35. > :10:45.stage? It was very strange but I am enjoying the week. It was four
:10:45. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:56.years ago, so everybody is glad to see me. What are your memories of
:10:56. > :11:06.the semi-final? I was so tired. The quarter-final on the Friday, on the
:11:06. > :11:09.Saturday I was so tired. All the memories are great. We knew we
:11:09. > :11:15.would have a Dutchman guaranteed into the second round with
:11:15. > :11:22.Christian Kist against Jan Dekker. Were you surprised at the Victor?
:11:22. > :11:31.Not really. Christian Kist is a great player. It was good that it
:11:31. > :11:36.went all the way. They deserve a good game. It was good that it was
:11:36. > :11:41.the best game. Christian Kist opens his mouth every time he releases
:11:41. > :11:47.the dart. Did you speak to him about that? Not really, every
:11:47. > :11:52.player has something and that is his way of playing darts. Do not
:11:52. > :11:57.think about it. Well done. Good luck for you boys in the second
:11:57. > :12:06.round. Thank you very much. things jump out to me. He talked
:12:06. > :12:09.about every player having something. What was your thing? What I used to
:12:09. > :12:17.jump up in the year before I get the double! Memories of the semi-
:12:17. > :12:22.final when he was a youngster here. I was so tired. It comes to what we
:12:22. > :12:27.said about the seasoned campaigners pacing themselves. He was so tired
:12:27. > :12:34.because his quarter-final was on really late. Christian Kist, if he
:12:34. > :12:44.sleeps well, we'll be OK. Talking about Alan Norris last night, he
:12:44. > :12:44.
:12:44. > :12:54.said he is at good interviewer. Now that perennial favourite, John
:12:54. > :13:04.Walton, he had a really good year. He was seeded for the first time in
:13:04. > :13:04.
:13:04. > :15:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:15:14. > :15:24.a while and he played against and the set, Martin Atkins. He is
:15:24. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:50.everything. Martin Atkins is now leading 2-1. It has suggestions of
:15:50. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :16:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:16:46. > :16:56.a tie-break, this match. Martin is have six starts to get down. -- 6
:16:56. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:17:58. > :18:01.has options. He has gone for the a break of the row. Game on. If he
:18:01. > :18:11.can hold on twice he will have beaten the second seed and be free
:18:11. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :19:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:19:12. > :19:22.to the next round. Is it come back It is his second at 100 matey. --
:19:22. > :19:32.
:19:32. > :19:42.on the 20. Good thinking from Martin Atkins. 166 would not have
:19:42. > :20:20.
:20:21. > :20:30.been a finish. This leaves the -- that miss. That was experience
:20:31. > :20:57.
:20:57. > :21:07.there. Another break of the row. -- and the have each lead twice. -- of
:21:07. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :21:31.darts. His wife will not be happy at the moment. She cannot sit down.
:21:31. > :21:31.
:21:31. > :22:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:22:30. > :22:40.line. -- There it is, right down the way, and it is 2-2 in the set.
:22:40. > :22:40.
:22:40. > :23:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:23:30. > :23:40.is trailing in the match. He will be very disappointed with 55. Does
:23:40. > :23:40.
:23:40. > :25:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:25:20. > :25:30.not leave him anywhere near our That leaves 132. There is nothing
:25:30. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:07.there! What a match! Martin Atkins, two friends, they both deserve it.
:26:07. > :26:14.It has to be said, John Walton comes here smiling, no matter what.
:26:14. > :26:24.You were beaten in the first round by good friend, and it will be a
:26:24. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:29.memory you most cherished in a strange way. In the back of my mind.
:26:29. > :26:33.Bobby said before that game it is much more difficult to be a friend
:26:34. > :26:41.than a stranger. Do you find that when you meet someone on the
:26:41. > :26:44.Lakeside stage you know very well? It is very hard. Especially if you
:26:44. > :26:54.know their game inside and out. They keep up there, I have never
:26:54. > :26:55.
:26:56. > :27:05.been so warm on that stage. -- the heat. UK men on really good form.
:27:06. > :27:06.
:27:06. > :27:10.The county averages, you have outlined in your right. -- a
:27:10. > :27:17.sparkle in your eye. How disappointing was that? You come
:27:17. > :27:25.here to win the tournament, you do not expect to gloat first round. I
:27:25. > :27:31.will stick around for the rest of the week and see what happens.
:27:31. > :27:37.is an exemplary figure in the game. You have given us great
:27:37. > :27:44.entertainment, what was going through your mind when you miss
:27:44. > :27:53.those two to go into the Stade set? It was 100 check out. I hit the
:27:53. > :28:03.treble 20, but then it was the top of the wire. there was a little bit
:28:03. > :28:09.
:28:09. > :28:19.of sweat on my hand. When the draw was made, what was the banter like?
:28:19. > :28:26.You still have tournaments, so we laughed and joked about it. Then I
:28:26. > :28:36.just had to do my job, which I didn't. This you went out to Martin
:28:36. > :28:38.
:28:38. > :28:42.Atkins, is there anyone you really Atkins, is there anyone you really
:28:42. > :28:47.hate? Bobby! You spoke about being an ambassador for the sport. There
:28:47. > :28:50.has been a real explosion of Dutch players. Christian Kist was
:28:50. > :28:59.sensational, that must have been good to watch. The atmosphere in
:28:59. > :29:08.the crowd was great. There was high averages, it had a lot. The tension
:29:08. > :29:18.was great. We have news just in, all nicknames do not come as easy
:29:18. > :29:20.
:29:20. > :29:30.as years. I spoke to Christian Kist, his English is not that bad. He
:29:30. > :29:31.
:29:31. > :29:37.wants The Lipstick,. If you are coming, put his nickname on assign.
:29:37. > :29:42.If he makes it all the way to the final, there is one man he will
:29:42. > :29:52.have to overcome, Scott Waites. He is the favourite with the bookies.
:29:52. > :30:04.
:30:04. > :30:12.He beat Martin Adams along the way He cannot believe it, he has
:30:12. > :30:16.finally beaten Martin Adams, at the eighth time of trying. That was my
:30:16. > :30:20.first major win over Martin. He has always narrowly beaten in the past.
:30:20. > :30:23.To get one over him did my confidence the world of good. I
:30:23. > :30:33.knew I could beat him, and I knew that that day was going to be my
:30:33. > :30:43.
:30:43. > :30:47.The World Masters champion 2011, Scott Waites. I knew all I had to
:30:47. > :30:52.do was get out there, play well, and keep my concentration. That's
:30:52. > :30:57.the hardest thing of all. I don't think I played really bad in those
:30:57. > :31:07.games, I just don't think I have had the rub of the green, and the
:31:07. > :31:09.
:31:09. > :31:19.bit of luck that I need. Martin Phillips, when I played him, I
:31:19. > :31:23.think he was four sets 20 up against me. He throws so quick, I
:31:23. > :31:33.never really got into the game, until last load my own game down a
:31:33. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:54.Martyn missed a lot of doubles -- by Mr lot of doubles, and he took
:31:54. > :32:04.his chances. Yes, the better man on the day won. I'm not bitter about
:32:04. > :32:05.
:32:05. > :32:12.losing, it was just not my day. The higher up in the world rankings you
:32:12. > :32:17.are, the more respect you get off all the players. To have your name
:32:17. > :32:22.on the back of your shirt, and to get up there as the world number 1,
:32:22. > :32:27.it is a good feeling. Sometimes it helps you out in a game, it make
:32:27. > :32:34.your opponent a little bit jittery as well. I can see it from other
:32:34. > :32:40.people's point of view, I don't think I'm a fantastic darts player,
:32:40. > :32:45.I just get up and play darts. If they go in, they go in. It is nice
:32:45. > :32:51.in some respects to be favourite, but on the other hand, you're just
:32:51. > :33:00.a big target, and everybody wants to beat you. On that side, it is
:33:00. > :33:04.not really good. It would be nice to be world champion, but it is is
:33:04. > :33:09.not to be, it is not to be. You never know, this week, if I play
:33:09. > :33:14.darts like I have been doing, I should come quite close. He's
:33:14. > :33:18.talking like a man who's now very comfortable with the Lakeside, and
:33:18. > :33:25.he will learn from those games he was talking about there. Talking
:33:25. > :33:28.about being comfortable at the Lakeside, I have just noticed that
:33:28. > :33:33.John Boy Walton turned up for national television in a pair of
:33:33. > :33:39.moccasin slippers. You are that much at home at the Lakeside.
:33:39. > :33:46.my second home, and I'm here for the week. So, next time, will it be
:33:46. > :33:54.your boxer shorts? Don't mention that, that happened last year.
:33:54. > :34:04.Birds have a look at this one, the crowd were in fine voice. Are you
:34:04. > :34:09.
:34:09. > :34:19.ready? Let's played darts. The reigning World Master, welcome,
:34:19. > :34:19.
:34:19. > :35:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:35:52. > :36:02.They call him X Factor. Welcome, We join it in the second set, the
:36:02. > :36:14.
:36:14. > :36:22.first was won by Waites. It is two scores only 60. I wonder if it has
:36:22. > :36:32.put the pressure on him, being the favourite. As the second seed, I
:36:32. > :36:40.
:36:40. > :36:46.would have thought there was a bit Waites, but I suppose this year,
:36:46. > :36:56.winning the World Masters, it moves it up a couple of steps. Without a
:36:56. > :36:58.
:36:58. > :37:08.shadow of a doubt. To come in with that same form, that's what you're
:37:08. > :37:12.looking for. DAVID CROFT: There is not that many
:37:12. > :37:18.players in the history of BDO darts that have won a World Masters, and
:37:18. > :37:28.gone on to win the next World Championship. Martin Adams did it,
:37:28. > :37:28.
:37:28. > :37:38.Richie Burnett did it. And the last one on the list, Tony Green? No, it
:37:38. > :37:44.
:37:44. > :37:48.wasn't me. You're right, it wasn't you - the great Eric Bristow. Eric
:37:48. > :37:58.Bristow, the only man to win this World Championship three years in a
:37:58. > :37:59.
:37:59. > :38:09.row. Will Martin Adams follow that? We will see. He does not miss much.
:38:09. > :38:11.
:38:11. > :38:14.And he has not missed that one. Second set, Andy Boulton! I don't
:38:14. > :38:24.know about X Factor, that was excellent factor. Lots of pressure
:38:24. > :38:34.on Andy Boulton. To their delight, and I'm sure much of Scotland and
:38:34. > :38:35.
:38:35. > :38:40.Stoke. TONY GREEN: We start all over again,
:38:40. > :38:50.at one set apiece. Andy Boulton is really getting into this game. I
:38:50. > :39:00.
:39:00. > :39:04.will say it again, Scott Waites needs to move up a gear.
:39:04. > :39:14.TONY GREEN: He's showing he means business, you can definitely see
:39:14. > :39:25.
:39:25. > :39:30.that. I think he has got Scott thinking here. It is just whether
:39:30. > :39:40.he can hold it together for long enough to take this set, to stretch
:39:40. > :39:43.
:39:43. > :39:53.Scott Waites a little bit more. Just watch him here, he does not
:39:53. > :39:53.
:39:53. > :39:58.seem to have a care in the world. Calm, cool. He's very focused,
:39:58. > :40:05.isn't he? You know that there is not one ounce of concentration lost
:40:05. > :40:08.at any stage during the visit to the oche. You see players
:40:08. > :40:18.criticising themselves, shaking their head, Andy Boulton does not
:40:18. > :40:48.
:40:48. > :40:58.Yet another leg completed with the double going in at the first time
:40:58. > :40:59.
:40:59. > :41:03.of asking. Look how closely matched they are. There must have changed
:41:03. > :41:12.the border or something, I have never seen the doubles going in
:41:12. > :41:17.like this. No, they're all the same size, trust me. But that's really
:41:17. > :41:27.good finishing percentages, from both players. I think he has got
:41:27. > :41:27.
:41:27. > :41:32.him thinking here, Andy Boulton, I really do. It is either that or
:41:32. > :41:42.someone has just handed Scott a note saying that you have tipped
:41:42. > :42:11.
:42:11. > :42:16.seem very happy, I have not seen him smile yet. He has had a few
:42:16. > :42:25.moments to smile about, but he knows that his son is involved in a
:42:25. > :42:31.bit of a tussle here. Treble 18 here, you would have thought. That
:42:31. > :42:38.was a sloppy visit really, for Scott Waites. He just pulled it a
:42:38. > :42:48.bit downwards, instead of going straight through. Scott, you
:42:48. > :42:49.
:42:49. > :42:59.require 66. Six starts to do it with. He has done it. Second leg,
:42:59. > :42:59.
:42:59. > :43:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:43:54. > :44:00.completed with the first attempt at on at the Lakeside, the serious
:44:00. > :44:05.business is absolutely gripping up on that stage. One set all, one leg
:44:05. > :44:15.all. Not a huge amounts between the players, except Scott Waites, in
:44:15. > :44:33.
:44:33. > :44:43.this leg, has put together nine Big finish. Can he do it? Well, he
:44:43. > :44:55.
:44:55. > :45:05.is cable, but not even he can do it Waites's best leg in a while, I
:45:05. > :45:13.
:45:13. > :45:23.for the two first. 140! You have got to be confident that you do not
:45:23. > :45:47.
:45:47. > :45:57.noticed, he has started rushing them a little bit. He does not want
:45:57. > :46:04.to play it at Waites, pace, really. No, but that's the trouble, you get
:46:04. > :46:09.speeded up. The Viking fans are in. We ought to say congratulations to
:46:09. > :46:19.Andy Fordham, he has just passed his theory driving test. He's going
:46:19. > :46:30.
:46:30. > :46:36.to hit the roads at some stage this what a great man, a gentlemen of
:46:36. > :46:44.darts. Everybody was in tears when he won it that year. I just hope
:46:44. > :46:54.they're not in tears when he gets behind the wheel. I cannot imagine
:46:54. > :47:22.
:47:22. > :47:28.it. So, for the set... No show. 139 over the top. It was a good attempt.
:47:28. > :47:38.And there it is. That is the set to Scott Waites. It could have been so
:47:38. > :48:08.
:48:08. > :48:12.different. This is such a close went for that 139. He went for the
:48:12. > :48:22.two trebles that he could hit the easiest, to buy himself the
:48:22. > :48:22.
:48:22. > :49:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:49:09. > :49:14.Everything is taken care of, all the fans just love it. They were
:49:14. > :49:20.queueing outside at 10:30am this morning. They did not wake you up,
:49:20. > :49:30.did they? No, I saw them through the window, I was still in bed.
:49:30. > :49:49.
:49:49. > :49:59.bit here. The thing is, so far, whether he wins or loses, he has
:49:59. > :50:15.
:50:15. > :50:23.certainly shown he can play this it there. It is looking, you could
:50:23. > :50:29.say, ominous, I would think. say that, and it is, because Scott
:50:29. > :50:32.Waites is a set up and a leg up, but Andy Boulton is matching him in
:50:32. > :50:36.terms of the checkout percentages and in terms of the scoring. He has
:50:36. > :50:44.got to raise his game just a little bit, to try to hold his throw. And
:50:44. > :50:54.that's what he's doing. I have seen many matches term, even at this
:50:54. > :51:24.
:51:24. > :51:34.point. There's nothing between them done is taken out a ton plus
:51:34. > :51:45.
:51:45. > :51:54.the roof down. It has shaken Andy Boulton, but the crowd are loving
:51:54. > :52:04.it. Now, it is ominous. Now, it is serious. Andy Boulton has not had a
:52:04. > :52:04.
:52:05. > :52:13.ton plus checkout, Scott has had four of them. It is the beauty of
:52:13. > :52:20.this sport. That's it, look at it, he has just gone out with a
:52:20. > :52:25.checkout like that. Going back to Andy Boulton's last visit, he was
:52:25. > :52:35.less than a millimetre away from his own ton plus checkout. And then
:52:35. > :52:59.
:52:59. > :53:02.title, Scott Waites, needing one more leg. Tell me who that is.
:53:03. > :53:11.is just the man who thinks that darts is a bit of an alien
:53:11. > :53:16.experience. He's an Andy Boulton fan, surely. Can he see through
:53:16. > :53:26.that? He has paid all this money to come here, and he has not seem a
:53:26. > :53:33.dart. There's not just one green man here at the Lakeside this year.
:53:33. > :53:41.But I will tell you what, I don't think Andy Boulton is going to be
:53:41. > :53:51.here for much longer. This could be it. It could have been, but he will
:53:51. > :54:12.
:54:12. > :54:22.be thrown another couple of darts a touch at the end. To stay in the
:54:22. > :54:31.
:54:31. > :54:34.match, for a 170, Andy Boulton. No, the question? He has already given
:54:34. > :54:44.Andy Boulton one chance, he might not be in the mood to give him
:54:44. > :54:49.
:54:49. > :54:59.another. And he just cannot limp over the winning line collection he
:54:59. > :55:03.
:55:03. > :55:10.has got it. He has saved the match. For once, Scott Waites could not
:55:10. > :55:15.find his range of the doubles. Andy Boulton lives on. Like a man
:55:15. > :55:25.hanging off a cliff with a sore arm, Andy Boulton is just about in this
:55:25. > :55:28.
:55:28. > :55:31.contest. Could that be the time the pendulum swings back to The X-
:55:31. > :55:41.Factor? You can see why he wins all of these tournaments up in Scotland,
:55:41. > :55:45.
:55:46. > :55:51.can't you? He really has speeded up, and it is improving his game.
:55:51. > :56:01.has got the first throw in this leg, he needs to make it count, then he
:56:01. > :56:01.
:56:01. > :56:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:56:52. > :56:58.for the match. Just at the end! What an out that would have been.
:56:59. > :57:03.missed darts for the match, for Scott Waites. And he will be coming
:57:03. > :57:08.back with at least three more for it. Andy Boulton is hoping and
:57:08. > :57:18.praying. He does not much fancy his chances, by the looks of that
:57:18. > :57:21.
:57:21. > :57:31.expression. But that's a good 140. That has put the pressure on.
:57:31. > :57:40.
:57:40. > :57:45.darts for the match. He has got darts for the match. He has got
:57:45. > :57:51.it!Km, David. Absolutely thrilling. What did you think of that
:57:51. > :57:56.performance? It was not his a game upon the stage, but he did a
:57:56. > :58:00.professional job. Andy Boulton did not do much wrong, but he could not
:58:00. > :58:04.raise his game to the level that Scott Waites can now play at, that
:58:04. > :58:10.was the difference. You look at 2011, he picked up the Masters, you
:58:10. > :58:19.go to the year before, he won the Grand Slam of darts. I find it hard
:58:19. > :58:25.to imagine his name not being on the Lakeside trophy at some stage.
:58:25. > :58:29.I used to say the same thing about Gary Anderson, he would do a few
:58:29. > :58:33.good rounds and then go out. But he has won the Masters, he has got the
:58:33. > :58:40.experience in the Grand Slam. the reigning World Cup singles
:58:40. > :58:47.champion. But everything is not the Lakeside. This does something to
:58:47. > :58:54.him. If he plays the same he has been playing, he will win it.
:58:54. > :58:58.we see signs of the favourite's tag weighing down on him a little bit?
:58:58. > :59:02.Yes, a little bit. We saw it just before Christmas, he could not get
:59:02. > :59:06.out of the group stages. When there was nothing riding on it, in the
:59:06. > :59:10.final group match, he played superbly. The ability is there with
:59:10. > :59:13.Scott Waites, but can he make the breakthrough? Three times a
:59:13. > :59:18.quarter-finalist in his first three years at the Lakeside, but he has
:59:18. > :59:28.got to go further. He can do it if his head is right. We have got more
:59:28. > :59:30.
:59:30. > :59:34.coming up tonight. See what stands out to you, gentlemen, among these.
:59:34. > :59:38.The Belgian player, Geert De Vos, never really goes beyond the
:59:39. > :59:46.quarter-finals. Tony West, he cannot even find his own set of
:59:46. > :59:56.darts. Alan Norris won the French Open this year, but he's no Sue
:59:56. > :59:58.
:59:58. > :00:01.Barker. Talking of Dean Winstanley, he has been just over there,
:00:01. > :00:11.putting the hours in on the practice board. We got him to stop
:00:11. > :00:16.for a couple of minutes to speak to Dean Winstanley has left nothing to
:00:16. > :00:23.chance. You have been practising hard. How does it feel to be back
:00:23. > :00:29.after making it to the final? feels just the same, but I am used
:00:29. > :00:32.to it. I hope I'll have the same mentality and do the same job.
:00:32. > :00:37.had a chat on Saturday morning and you said it was amazing how much
:00:37. > :00:42.attention you got when he went home. It was fantastic, it changed my
:00:42. > :00:49.lifestyle, it changed everything about me. You walk into a shop and
:00:49. > :00:54.get shouted at. It is a great feeling. I still feel a little bit
:00:54. > :01:03.like I am in a pub. Do you think you have grown from your experience
:01:03. > :01:10.12 months ago? There was everything. Yes, everything has grown. It has
:01:10. > :01:15.been fantastic. It was well worth it. What a great place to be again.
:01:15. > :01:20.Second year running, I am doing it all again. You had to wait until
:01:20. > :01:28.the very last match of the first round. How do you feel ahead of
:01:28. > :01:32.this match? He is a great player, he is a good lad, I am not going to
:01:32. > :01:39.go to his speed, he will have to stand back and wait till I throw my
:01:39. > :01:44.darts. You say you are more nervous when Lorraine plays than you. She
:01:44. > :01:49.got off to a winning start. Hopefully she will feel exactly
:01:49. > :01:59.what I did. I would rather throat and watch. We cannot wait to see
:01:59. > :02:01.
:02:01. > :02:08.what you have in your locker. Good luck. Whilst David Croft and Bobby
:02:08. > :02:17.George are enjoying Ashanti, I'll be stone-cold sober tonight on BBC
:02:17. > :02:22.Two at 11:20pm. We are not finished here, we have more action from the
:02:22. > :02:31.BDO World Championships here on Lakeside. Now it is Ted Hankey, he
:02:31. > :02:40.arrives every year threatening to bite everybody in the neck.
:02:40. > :02:50.Darkness is descending! The Midnight hour approaches! Again he

:08:24. > :08:34.hit the treble 20 earlier. That was a tepid response. Clive Barden will
:08:34. > :08:41.
:08:41. > :08:51.never get a better chance. We have at least one more set to come! He
:08:51. > :09:02.
:09:02. > :09:12.is still giving him food for of this. He has sped up. Clive
:09:12. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:09:52. > :09:56.this 4th set. If he wins, he will be through to the next round. I
:09:56. > :10:04.just had a feeling as the players came back from the break that it
:10:04. > :10:11.might not be plain sailing for Ted Hankey. He is not throwing at a
:10:12. > :10:21.Championship winning level. Clive Barden only had to throw the game
:10:22. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:52.he is capable of. That is what he Clive Barden gets the 160! You
:10:52. > :10:55.
:10:55. > :11:02.could see it coming. Clive Barden on his debut has the highest
:11:02. > :11:08.checkout of the tournament so far, all the way to double top. There is
:11:08. > :11:18.life left in this match. Clive Barden has broken the throne in
:11:18. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:31.this 4th set. -- the throw. Hankey has something to think about.
:11:31. > :11:41.He has got used to the stage. just whether Ted Hankey can raise
:11:41. > :11:43.
:11:43. > :11:53.his game back up to break with Rome. -- break the throw. Clive Barden's
:11:53. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:28.fans are making a bit more noise, Ted Hankey to say that he was
:12:28. > :13:04.
:13:04. > :13:13.bit and missed the 25. He can still do this. That is no one. -- the one.
:13:13. > :13:17.Normal service resumes. He said to me last night that he is like an
:13:17. > :13:27.Icelandic volcano. There will be a bitter disruption into the
:13:27. > :13:31.
:13:31. > :13:41.atmosphere. Clive has left it a bit late. He is now showing us what he
:13:41. > :13:51.can do. He was nervous at the start. He was not the first and he will
:13:51. > :14:03.
:14:04. > :14:13.like that. Not at that speed. Some of the ones from Holland have
:14:14. > :14:32.
:14:32. > :14:42.given us force. It is the position started with some nerds. You can
:14:42. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:56.see it from the side here. -- some nerves. Ted Hankey, you have to
:14:56. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:09.wake up. You cannot finish on this. The crowd are brewing. Do not react.
:15:09. > :15:32.
:15:33. > :15:37.leg, Clive Barden. That was a bit of gamesmanship from Ted Hankey
:15:37. > :15:44.with the crowd. Clive Barden stepped straight in and finished
:15:44. > :15:54.the leg. Nobody knows what will happen from here. He has the
:15:54. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :16:06.advantage. I think Ted Hankey is having problems. He is finishing
:16:06. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :16:18.straight away. He should have the advantage, Clive Barden, but so
:16:18. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:38.far... Where would you money go? think it will be to to to in sets.
:16:38. > :16:39.
:16:39. > :16:49.-- 2-2 in sets. I am backing Clive Barden. I might join year after
:16:49. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:14.far to the right as Ted Hankey would have liked. He is not making
:17:14. > :17:18.
:17:18. > :17:28.the most of his chances. That was a big dark in the context of this
:17:28. > :17:32.
:17:32. > :17:42.match. Ted Hankey is struggling. -- big dart. 54 left. He needed a
:17:42. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:59.double top. There is agony on both sides of the fence here. Ted Hankey
:17:59. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:13.cannot checkout. He has done it! Game, shot and the set, Clive
:18:13. > :18:17.
:18:17. > :18:27.Barden. I have seen this happen so many times. They cannot believe it.
:18:27. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:38.Ted Hankey is perspiring. Now he has to really try. I have been
:18:38. > :18:41.
:18:41. > :18:47.saying that. Ted Hankey toying with Clive Barden my cat. -- like a cat.
:18:47. > :18:56.The mouse is on the verge of running away. They are starting to
:18:56. > :19:00.play darts now. He has got to. We know that he can play very well on
:19:00. > :19:10.the stage, we think that Clive Barden has in him to play well on
:19:10. > :19:12.
:19:12. > :19:22.the stage. This is a whole new ball-game. What a final set this is
:19:22. > :19:22.
:19:22. > :20:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:20:12. > :20:22.the set but Ted Hankey is looking leg, Ted Hankey. Has normal service
:20:22. > :20:34.
:20:34. > :20:43.from the crowd in the right way. He looks like he is in full control of
:20:43. > :20:53.his emotions, which you cannot see often. Normally he is perspiring
:20:53. > :21:18.
:21:18. > :21:28.like no one's business. He looks to five sets in the first round and
:21:28. > :21:28.
:21:28. > :22:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:22:09. > :22:19.That was professional. He is playing properly. Now he is in
:22:19. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:48.second round. It has been an up- and-down affair. Maybe Clive Barden,
:22:48. > :22:58.if he does collide, will think he should not have been so nervous at
:22:58. > :22:58.
:22:58. > :23:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds
:23:46. > :23:56.the start. This is his first ever interesting. This is a good finish.
:23:56. > :24:20.
:24:20. > :24:25.He switched off but he has now it character, it is fair to say. Away
:24:25. > :24:32.from the dartboard, he is very laid-back, he likes to grow
:24:32. > :24:36.strawberries. He is. I am not sure what he was trying to do. He did
:24:36. > :24:40.not just seemed to be playing a game of darts. He put Clive Barden
:24:40. > :24:48.in and put the pressure on his opponent, then he slows it down, he
:24:48. > :24:52.speeds it up, he tries to put the ball and off. That is what he does.
:24:52. > :24:59.He tries to play a game with the opponent. He should just play darts
:24:59. > :25:05.like he used to. Clive Barden did not play well in the first two sets,
:25:05. > :25:15.he could not put three dart together. But then he could have
:25:15. > :25:17.
:25:17. > :25:22.beat Ted Hankey. I am pretty sure at one stage Ted Hankey wanted to
:25:22. > :25:28.do the exhibition shot. There was an element of him but felt he could
:25:28. > :25:32.be the showman, he was comfortable, and it nearly came back to bite him.
:25:32. > :25:38.For most of the match he was on him -- he was in full control, and when
:25:38. > :25:42.he needed to turn it on, there was some antics with the crowd,
:25:42. > :25:47.creating a bit of pantomime. There was a lot more reflection on his
:25:47. > :25:54.next match with Scott Waites, looking ahead to that, rather than
:25:54. > :26:00.concentrating on the job. The first thing he said was he is looking
:26:00. > :26:08.forward to Scott Waites in the second round. If you look at Scott
:26:08. > :26:15.Waites's trip to the semi-finals, this could be his bonanza game.
:26:15. > :26:25.think Ted Hankey is not the player he was. You never lose it. You
:26:25. > :26:26.
:26:26. > :26:35.could be playing in the house. He must pass a natural ability. Dart
:26:35. > :26:44.players are like a computer. When you play, press D. Do not press
:26:44. > :26:54.anything else. Did you think last year that Scott Waites would beat
:26:54. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:09.his opponent in round two question mac I did. Before we do the show,
:27:09. > :27:11.
:27:11. > :27:17.Bobby George fills in who he thinks will win. He got 15 out of 16.
:27:17. > :27:26.got Robson wrong. Last year he was upset when I said he would not go
:27:26. > :27:36.through, so I said he would. This time, he lost. This is the bottom
:27:36. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:46.half of the draw. Willy van de Wiel, he is always a colourful character.
:27:46. > :27:50.He was playing Dave Prins. That was fairly comfortable. Dave Prins was
:27:50. > :27:58.absolutely distraught. He played terrible, I do not know how he gets
:27:58. > :28:04.here. He does every year. Freezes up on stage. Martin Atkins, we saw
:28:04. > :28:11.them against John Walton. That could be his box-office moment.
:28:11. > :28:16.Looking forward to Tony West versus Geert De Vos. Can Joey ten Berge
:28:16. > :28:23.you give Dean Winstanley a good game?
:28:23. > :28:25.The match of the week was Jan Dekker against Christian Kist.
:28:25. > :28:30.Dekker against Christian Kist. is the standard the players have to
:28:30. > :28:39.aspire to. There is no reason they cannot come here and throat those
