:00:41. > :00:47.Good afternoon and welcome to the first of your weekday highlights of
:00:47. > :00:54.the World Darts Championship. Here is the one and only Scott Mitchell
:00:55. > :01:00.on the board early this afternoon. Jack Norris, Always Friendly. How
:01:00. > :01:06.does practise going? Go away. now until a quarter past four we
:01:06. > :01:15.have got a high lights for you. My old friend Bobby George is with me.
:01:16. > :01:20.Let's get going. Christian kiss meant business but
:01:20. > :01:26.had a tough start against Robbie Green. Marden Adams with his hat-
:01:26. > :01:31.trick of titles based a Dutch man 36 years his junior. And this is
:01:31. > :01:36.the No. 1 seed, Stephen Bunting. Hoping to add to his recent Masters
:01:36. > :01:42.title. After two semi-finals at pence of Darryl Fitton was hoping
:01:42. > :01:50.to go one step beyond this time around. And Richie George made his
:01:50. > :01:58.League side debut at the weekend. Also Anastasia or back to defend
:01:58. > :02:03.the women's title. As always we start with the champion, Christian
:02:03. > :02:09.Kist. He won 12 months ago here at the lakeside. Ever since that his
:02:09. > :02:19.form has evaded him and he has not recaptured the title. Because of
:02:19. > :02:29.that he is even exceeded this year. So he faces Robbie Green. Rejoin it
:02:29. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :02:40.So he faces Robbie Green. Rejoin it that one set apiece.
:02:40. > :02:40.
:02:40. > :04:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:04:37. > :04:47.Back where we started. Christian six of the 142. Is it too little,
:04:47. > :04:47.
:04:47. > :05:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:05:43. > :05:52.dart. Just a little bit more comes in it and has a great big
:05:52. > :06:02.smile on their face. And Christian Kist finds his their maximum of the
:06:02. > :06:02.
:06:02. > :07:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:07:36. > :07:45.match to put the pressure on Robbie loves his darts, he tells me. But
:07:45. > :07:55.he is terrible. There are a lot of celebrities and presenters who love
:07:55. > :07:55.
:07:55. > :08:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:08:47. > :08:57.got another three in there. It is a nose in front? Yes!
:08:57. > :09:08.
:09:08. > :09:14.Leg for leg. Going first for the third set now, Robbie Green.
:09:14. > :09:24.Winner of four ranking titles but he has not been beyond the second
:09:24. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :11:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:11:30. > :11:39.round of previous visits to from Both of them slipping up a little
:11:40. > :11:47.
:11:47. > :11:57.bit. It is the pressure of the match situation. This is a very big
:11:57. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:16.leg indeed. Good cover. Here is half a chance. Can he take
:12:16. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :13:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:13:03. > :13:08.take your time. Ruth is there, the first dart and takes a lead in
:13:08. > :13:18.his first round match at Lakeside. He celebrates life he has won the
:13:18. > :13:45.
:13:45. > :13:50.a number of fans. Everybody stood up there applauding. Lots of fans
:13:50. > :14:00.supporting Robbie Green. He says to say hello to all of those who could
:14:00. > :14:02.
:14:02. > :14:12.not come down. They will perhaps be a little happier than they were
:14:12. > :14:15.
:14:15. > :14:25.five minutes ago. Very shortly Christian could be saying a prayer.
:14:25. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:51.not for a pair. At least a double. You can't see the perspiration on
:14:51. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:33.Robbie's head. It is really hot up champion having to leave at the
:15:33. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:13.and his injury problems, Tony. I ask him when I saw him, how has
:16:13. > :16:21.your year been as champion and without missing a beat he said
:16:21. > :16:28."difficult". I expected to say it was brilliant. It is a form of
:16:28. > :16:33.arthritis. Without going into too much detail, I think there is a
:16:33. > :16:40.problem in his elbow that affects his hand and he has a foot problems
:16:40. > :16:49.similar to go out as well. You would not wish it on anybody --
:16:50. > :16:59.similar to gout. Luckily he has recovered. But he is a leg away
:17:00. > :17:34.
:17:34. > :17:42.last leg? For the reigning world use there. Christian has been a
:17:42. > :17:52.great champion. The problems he has had have made a big difference. It
:17:52. > :18:21.
:18:21. > :18:29.is still not over but it is looking defending champion but he is not
:18:29. > :18:36.going to leave without a fight. 180! A how about that! This is for
:18:36. > :18:46.the match for Robbie Green! No! many times in championships has he
:18:46. > :18:46.
:18:46. > :20:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:20:01. > :20:06.time to throw in a maximum! We habit! I tell you what is becoming
:20:06. > :20:10.a habit, qualifiers winning the title on their first visit, and
:20:10. > :20:20.losing in the first round in the next year. It has happened twice
:20:20. > :20:40.
:20:40. > :20:50.10. Everybody anxiously waiting. He has missed the double on this
:20:50. > :21:03.
:21:04. > :21:09.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. No longer at King Christian, Kong goes into
:21:09. > :21:14.round two! He has beaten the defending champions.
:21:14. > :21:23.That was the first game on Saturday afternoon. Robbie Green, you felt
:21:23. > :21:29.the bookies had got it wrong. felt confident. It is a bit like a
:21:29. > :21:36.boxer going back into the ring. I knew I had put the timing and I had
:21:36. > :21:42.been doing the circuit so I felt shop. It is remarkable. As you said
:21:42. > :21:48.last night, Christine did not get out of bed enough. He was in bed
:21:48. > :21:52.for a year! If you a world champion, it is lovely, you can go round the
:21:52. > :21:58.pubs and people will buy you drinks, but at the end of the day, you have
:21:58. > :22:08.to put the hours in anti- did not put the hours Inn. You are going to
:22:08. > :22:13.get beaten up then -- and he did not put the hours in. Are you more
:22:13. > :22:20.up for as scrap and playing a beginner? Definitely. You started
:22:20. > :22:30.with an average of over 90, probably fair to say a 40% checkout
:22:30. > :22:34.rage. About where you want to be at Obviously I would like to improve
:22:34. > :22:39.on my performance and I will have to if I would like to progress. It
:22:39. > :22:46.is a nice start but I don't really bother with the statistics too much.
:22:46. > :22:51.It is all about the win. The saw a lot of players today it is about
:22:51. > :22:56.averages. -- for a lot of players. Why are you talking about averages
:22:56. > :23:03.if you have lost? It is a win? It is a modern thing with darts
:23:03. > :23:08.players. We never bothered with that, it is a win. The averages lie
:23:08. > :23:18.anyway. Let's pick up the tie of the day. Bobby has got a different
:23:18. > :23:19.
:23:19. > :23:29.one for every day. You have only If you are only hitting 20% of York
:23:29. > :23:30.
:23:30. > :23:37.doubles, you will be hitting 879, 80 average -- Your Troubles.
:23:37. > :23:42.doubles. You have to hit your doubles. Let's find out who will be
:23:42. > :23:52.will be playing against. Two men who have never got past the first
:23:52. > :23:54.
:23:55. > :24:02.Highly emotional scenes. Tears for the big man, which is all right
:24:03. > :24:08.because he was working anyway. guy put us through absolutely
:24:08. > :24:13.everything yesterday. He huffed and puffed and cried but Scott Mitchell,
:24:13. > :24:19.you have got across the line. What are your reflections after the
:24:19. > :24:25.biggest match of your career? like an episode of EastEnders, my
:24:25. > :24:33.life. The highs and lows are crazy. This has been a superb place for me
:24:33. > :24:42.because the highs of qualifying but I have never or won, -- I had never
:24:42. > :24:52.won, to get one is she release. Relief of. -- it is sheer relief.
:24:52. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :24:57.I don't know where my head went. You start to concentrate a bit
:24:57. > :25:02.harder when I did not need to. Having watched it back this morning,
:25:02. > :25:07.I did not realise I was playing that well. Once you got back in,
:25:07. > :25:13.you must have reached the point way you thought the fourth defeat at
:25:13. > :25:20.Lakeside was on the cards. When I was two down, I was thinking, how
:25:20. > :25:25.am I in this position? You will have to scrap and get this back to
:25:26. > :25:30.2-2 it somehow, and when I did, I stood behind the oche, composed
:25:30. > :25:35.myself and thought, you need the best legs in your life, and I
:25:35. > :25:40.brought it home from there. What was the difference this time in
:25:40. > :25:47.terms of your composure and ability to bounce back that has eluded you
:25:47. > :25:52.the last three times you have lost? I have started using hypnotherapy.
:25:52. > :26:00.I know Tony O'Shea used this guy from Belfast last year, Steve
:26:00. > :26:04.McKibben, and I contact -- contacted him last year and said, I
:26:04. > :26:08.need to break down the barriers in my head, and I have been working
:26:08. > :26:14.with him on and off this year and it has been brilliant. So that has
:26:15. > :26:20.made the difference? Mentally, yeah. I know it sounds a bit daft, using
:26:20. > :26:26.a hypnotherapist, it is a CD we listen to when we are feeling a bit
:26:26. > :26:30.doubtful about ourselves. I think it helped, yeah. Great scenes at
:26:30. > :26:37.the end when you put your head on the board. He was so emotional.
:26:37. > :26:42.What a moment for you to share with your family. We tried to do the
:26:42. > :26:47.darts as a family. Both my kids play as well. We are playing for
:26:48. > :26:51.darts all the time. They understand what I am going through now they
:26:51. > :26:56.play. My family, friends and sponsors particularly, because they
:26:56. > :27:01.could have easily dropped me after a couple of failures here, it was
:27:01. > :27:06.just relief. We finally made it. One thing we should not forget is
:27:06. > :27:10.that you are self-employed. When you are playing darts, you are
:27:10. > :27:16.losing income, so the sacrifice you make to stay in the sport affects
:27:16. > :27:21.every element of your life. Most definitely. A lot of the guys say,
:27:22. > :27:26.they can't get the time off work. Every time I have a day off to
:27:26. > :27:30.travel on this circuit is unpaid. But the sponsors believe in me and
:27:30. > :27:35.I believe in me, and I do, so I believe I can still keep the roof
:27:35. > :27:43.above my head by doing both. have got the monkey off your back
:27:43. > :27:47.now but there is that not so small matter of Robbie Green. You! Kong,
:27:47. > :27:53.a big a monkey on my back! We are good friends. We are both Liverpool
:27:53. > :27:58.fans. I am sure we will have a good time. Do you think you will be more
:27:58. > :28:03.relaxed now you have the first win under your belt. Most definitely.
:28:03. > :28:07.It is the chip off your shoulder. I will be the underdog as well.
:28:07. > :28:12.Nobody is expecting me to win. It is like a free ride and enjoy
:28:12. > :28:16.yourself. Have a great time. You have really earned your place. We
:28:16. > :28:20.are looking forward to it. He had finally done it.
:28:20. > :28:28.As long as nobody kicks their fingers by accident but he has a
:28:28. > :28:33.chart in the second round. He is friendly right up until he walks
:28:33. > :28:43.onto the stage and Robbie is a, I am going to beat him up quite
:28:43. > :28:44.
:28:44. > :28:49.character. A Scot is too soft, so soft, so easy-going. -- Scott. I
:28:49. > :28:55.said, but don't feel pleased you are here, when something! He needs
:28:55. > :29:00.to be more aggressive. He is more aggressive here, and he will
:29:00. > :29:05.probably beat him up because that is his character. I hope so.
:29:05. > :29:14.will go on the stage... I want to take his head does. Whoever you
:29:14. > :29:18.play, you want to beat them up. the build up to that now, would you
:29:18. > :29:26.avoid practising to him? Will you change your routine of the
:29:26. > :29:34.friendship? Not really, no. I will stand and have a point with anyone
:29:34. > :29:40.and try and crack on. -- have a pint. By I don't think you would
:29:40. > :29:45.practise with him? Not a practice session but I would not mind
:29:45. > :29:51.stepping on the board with him and throwing a few darts. What about
:29:51. > :29:57.the idea of hypnotherapy. You are a man who certainly does not need any
:29:57. > :30:03.help in getting rid of self-doubt! I don't think they could do
:30:03. > :30:13.anything with me! I have my missus. She gives me a slap into touch and
:30:13. > :30:14.
:30:14. > :30:18.says, go and get on there and do what you do. Before you go, you
:30:19. > :30:24.work with their two Liver Birds either side. You what Mansfield and
:30:24. > :30:31.Liverpool yesterday. What did you think of the Luis Suarez winner?
:30:31. > :30:40.was the hand of God, it wasn't it? He is the next thing to God for us!
:30:40. > :30:50.Oh dear! We are not biased at the BBC! This man support that the ball,
:30:50. > :31:05.
:31:05. > :31:11.-- supports Liverpool, as does I ended up winning the title and it
:31:11. > :31:17.is one of the best feelings you can have. I had never won a television
:31:17. > :31:23.Major before. Last year I was not even here. The lakeside is the one
:31:23. > :31:33.that everybody wants to win. I think I can go to that extra level
:31:33. > :31:34.
:31:34. > :31:38.and take the title. The last time we played, I beat him so I'm going
:31:38. > :31:48.in confident. We will have a laugh and joke but as soon as you get on
:31:48. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:54.stage Iraq enemies. -- you are enemies. With the tour you're away
:31:54. > :31:59.quite a lot. My wife is a pub manager at so it is difficult for
:31:59. > :32:03.her to get that time off. Even if she is not able to come she's
:32:03. > :32:09.always on the telephone to me. She's always pushing me to practise
:32:09. > :32:15.and do the best I can. I could not do it without her. I'm not just
:32:15. > :32:25.playing for myself, I'm playing for the future of my son and giving him
:32:25. > :32:33.
:32:33. > :32:43.the best live he could possibly peace.
:32:43. > :32:43.

:35:27. > :35:37.Scotland. They do a great job. is a tough job. You have to keep

:37:24. > :37:34.like he would streak away with the match. But not now. Just a bit

:37:40. > :37:50.erratic. Will he come down for 19? No. A great shot, that. 86 coming

:38:11. > :38:25.
:38:26. > :38:35.He could have done with it there. No! Double 17. Or two double 16. He

:44:30. > :44:38.
:44:39. > :44:46.certainly pleased! Enthralling, is the word. Darts is
:44:46. > :44:56.just brilliant. It is thrilling, exciting and tense. It is fun and

:48:30. > :48:35.he needed it, he had one dart at double 16, he took it into the
:48:35. > :48:40.deciding set and that is what we wanted! They were both smiles there.
:48:40. > :48:50.You would not think they were in a World Championship. They have

:48:54. > :49:02.that he has beaten Stephen more often than not, says Stephen would
:49:02. > :49:10.have been more scared than he is. Look at those checkout percentages.
:49:10. > :49:16.Both of them pretty good, especially Stephen Bunting. Hit the
:49:16. > :49:24.double 16 under all sorts of pressure. The thing is, he stopped
:49:24. > :49:30.playing at the age of 17 and did not play again until 15 years later.

:54:03. > :54:38.
:54:38. > :54:48.have treated us to some smashing enough... 160 a head. Wilson is

:55:21. > :55:31.
:55:31. > :55:41.last one is hit. Is this the last has Stephen Bunting. Played

:56:22. > :56:32.the match, but not yet. He will be father has got something to say!
:56:32. > :56:44.
:56:44. > :56:53.Double 18 are to save the match! it should not finish on a double
:56:53. > :57:01.one... But it will! And the No. 1 seed will take his place in round
:57:01. > :57:08.two. Well played, James Wilson! Well played, Stephen Bunting! The
:57:08. > :57:13.Bullet is roof. Listen to the applause for these two. -- the
:57:13. > :57:23.Bullet is through. Magnificent! What a way to start but the true
:57:23. > :57:23.
:57:23. > :57:29.champion has proved his worth. In deed. He went up for the first
:57:29. > :57:34.time, Jamie, and he did very well indeed. With a bit more experience,
:57:34. > :57:40.it could have been a different story. He is very solid. I have
:57:40. > :57:46.seen him on the circuit. He has won a few different things. I think
:57:46. > :57:52.Stephen Bunting did well to beat him. He is gritty. Stephen Bunting
:57:52. > :57:57.did play well. The first set he was brilliant. Then he let James come
:57:57. > :58:02.back to him. If you got the double nine, it would have changed the
:58:02. > :58:08.game. He was starting to get worried about the doubles.
:58:08. > :58:18.average in the first set. Overall, over 90, which he would be happy
:58:18. > :58:18.
:58:18. > :58:28.Checkout is lovely, at nearly 50%. That is lovely. Any player would be
:58:28. > :58:32.
:58:32. > :58:38.The difference between him and Wilson, Wilson only had 16 over
:58:38. > :58:45.100s. The players in the second round have a low average than 85,
:58:45. > :58:49.that is so sure. So he was unlucky. When you win something, it is like
:58:49. > :58:59.a cloud following year. You don't play any different, you just win
:58:59. > :59:03.another one. Beliefs. He is a very solid player. His darts did not tip
:59:03. > :59:09.up in the air like they used to. He has learned to throw them and he
:59:09. > :59:14.has learned to win. He will be hard to beat. We continued the afternoon
:59:14. > :59:18.highlights at the BDO championships. But let's concentrate now on the
:59:18. > :59:23.quarter-final round of the ladies draw, which is genuinely exciting.
:59:23. > :59:29.Every one of them, the best of three. Sharon Prins was making her
:59:29. > :59:34.debut against the fourth seed, it rematch Armstrong. And last year's
:59:34. > :59:39.beaten finalist Deta Hedman was facing England's Lisa Ashton. Deta
:59:39. > :59:49.Hedman is under real pressure and needs to win this leg, as it is two
:59:49. > :59:52.
:59:52. > :59:58.four match points and you miss them, your opponent can hit a great
:59:58. > :00:02.return, but in darts, on the Lakeside stage, you have no one to
:00:02. > :00:06.blame but yourself, and that must be one of the hardest things in all
:00:06. > :00:15.of sport, to come back from missing darts like that for the match, and
:00:15. > :00:25.then to have to regroup. Yeah. You do need to regroup, exactly. You
:00:25. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:51.have to forget about the previous now. She needs to hammer that
:00:51. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:25.troubled 20. Could dance again. Still a leg away, Lisa Ashton. She
:01:25. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:37.recovered well with that last treble. You get bad luck,
:01:37. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :02:01.deflections. That is the third time in a row she has gone five and one.
:02:01. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:18.Needs a big score now. She was practising for a long time. Can you
:02:18. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:33.do too much? It is down to each individual. Everybody is different
:02:33. > :02:44.
:02:44. > :02:54.on that. No finish. So six darts from 114 for a place in the semi
:02:54. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:17.finals. She has missed a few of those for the match already. Double
:03:17. > :03:22.16 for the match. She has done it! She is finally the truth to the
:03:22. > :03:27.She is finally the truth to the semi-finals here.
:03:27. > :03:37.So another seat felt as a Irina Armstrong went down to Sharon Prins
:03:37. > :03:46.
:03:46. > :03:56.from the Netherlands. She will face Julie Gore has crashed out five
:03:56. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:06.times in a row at the quarter final stage. And Lorraine Farlam just
:04:06. > :04:19.
:04:19. > :04:29.gets better and better. We join finishing has been decent for both
:04:29. > :04:51.
:04:51. > :05:01.players. Especially from Anastasia. Nice loose grip there. Just that
:05:01. > :05:03.
:05:03. > :05:13.fraction makes the difference. Recovered well. Lorraine reached
:05:13. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:39.the semi finals last year. Beaten by Deta Hedman. The ladies do have
:05:39. > :05:48.
:05:48. > :05:58.a lot of events. They prove their worth. 140. Anastasia marching
:05:58. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:22.ahead. Treble 20 will leave double top. 235 the score remaining for
:06:22. > :06:38.
:06:38. > :06:48.Lorraine. Just as well she has got a clear run. Lorraine still some
:06:48. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:07.way back. Disappointing for her. Will she get a shot? Double top!
:07:07. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:25.Now five legs out of six Anastasia has won. One leg away from a place
:07:25. > :07:25.
:07:25. > :08:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:08:31. > :08:41.tournaments keep on coming. She is the girl to beat. But not doing too
:08:41. > :08:50.
:08:50. > :09:00.well here. Slipping a bit. There we are, recovering. Dean knows
:09:00. > :09:04.
:09:04. > :09:14.Lorraine is in trouble. 180! First of the match. And this for the
:09:14. > :09:23.
:09:23. > :09:31.match. Double 12! She follows with a 144. The second highest check out
:09:31. > :09:40.we have seen this week. There is in no stopping the young lady from
:09:40. > :09:47.Russia. And her close friend Russia. And her close friend
:09:47. > :09:54.Lorraine Farlam is beaten. You spoke about this over the
:09:54. > :10:02.weekend and he said that he used to miss the ladies games but now you
:10:02. > :10:08.turn up for them. The standards have gone up and up. We were asking
:10:08. > :10:15.what time Anastasia Koval was on because she is box office, she is
:10:15. > :10:23.magnificent to watch. The first set was a bit scruffy. The third set,
:10:23. > :10:29.she was in command. And the last leg she could have beaten anyone.
:10:29. > :10:39.144. That is great dance. Ladies and darts has gone from there to
:10:39. > :10:39.
:10:39. > :10:44.there. You get the real top players in this tournament. They're all
:10:44. > :10:51.proper players. It is going to expand next chip which tells you
:10:51. > :10:57.all you need to know. Alastair Stewart went away, she tried to
:10:57. > :11:05.Blake with the men. She came back and is not necessarily part of that
:11:05. > :11:12.close-knit family. If she gets into the semi-final there would be a bit
:11:12. > :11:22.of edge to it which would be great to watch what do she had a go.
:11:22. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:35.is back again. Women are competitive. Everyone has their day.
:11:35. > :11:40.Trina Gulliver it is to play tonight. Darryl Fitton has blown
:11:40. > :11:49.hot on a couple of occasions at the lakeside. But all too often as he
:11:49. > :11:53.would admit, he blows cold. 11th time now and still the hairs
:11:53. > :12:00.stand up on the back of your neck. It is a great feeling. What could
:12:00. > :12:10.happen at the end of the week. I have not won a game is since
:12:10. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:21.beating Tony O'Shea in the semi- finals. A put perhaps a bit too
:12:21. > :12:28.much pressure on myself. Crumbs of temper on wigs others are not
:12:28. > :12:35.playing well. -- from September onwards. It just was not happening.
:12:35. > :12:39.I have one good tournament. And now I have been playing brilliantly,
:12:39. > :12:48.picking up every single tournament apart from Northern Ireland. I'm
:12:48. > :12:55.quite confident about winning today. All of the Dutch players are all
:12:55. > :13:02.good. But I'm just going to go out and enjoy myself. And do my family
:13:02. > :13:07.proud. If I get past the first round I usually have a good run. I
:13:07. > :13:12.hope that I can do the same this year. Get past the first round and
:13:12. > :13:20.have a good run. I know I'm capable of winning the tournament. I just
:13:20. > :13:30.have to believe in myself. S he said in self in the gets past
:13:30. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:36.the first round. And that was in doubt. But we join it in that the
:13:36. > :13:43.doubt. But we join it in that the 4th.
:13:43. > :13:53.He had double trouble in said No. 3. If he holds his throat again, it
:13:53. > :14:02.
:14:02. > :14:12.will go to a decider. -- his throw. Where the first dart goes, the
:14:12. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:29.other two follow. That is better. Darryl Fitton had an unbelievable
:14:29. > :14:39.run in this tournament, losing out to an eventual semi- finalist,
:14:39. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:58.twice in the first round. Has a chance to tie it up at two sets

:14:58. > :16:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:16:07. > :16:17.apiece. He is in control of this for Darryl Fitton. To square the
:16:17. > :16:38.
:16:38. > :16:48.the Darryl Fitton supporters. But look at this for a response from
:16:48. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :17:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:17:53. > :18:03.the Dutchman! 100 matey! This could reserved. You could not wish for

:20:09. > :20:19.share a mutual love for Liverpool something good for Darryl. 180!

:21:52. > :22:04.
:22:05. > :22:10.of the last one. Good cover shot. Leaves himself 90 when he is back
:22:10. > :22:20.and he will be back. I have forecast Fitton to win this title
:22:20. > :22:20.
:22:20. > :23:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:23:44. > :23:51.for the last four years. I think I would go into a tie-break. Both
:23:51. > :23:56.players will have to win by two clear legs to win the match.
:23:56. > :24:06.don't think there will be a tie- break. You can't hold these young

:24:51. > :25:01.fourth Dutch champion at Frimley could have put in another three

:25:22. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:05.Fitton! He got the checkout when the pressure was on. Top of the

:27:33. > :27:42.tree! You could not wish for better. checkout ritual has improved, he
:27:42. > :27:48.has hit his last three doubles. He has hit double 22 win his last
:27:48. > :27:58.three legs. He doesn't have to finish here either, he has six
:27:58. > :28:29.
:28:29. > :28:39.double 10 there. There is a lot of stomping and cheering. They love
:28:39. > :28:44.
:28:44. > :28:54.double! Just when it mattered that Darryl Fitton and now for the first
:28:54. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :29:04.time, he is throwing to hold for the match -- double! Just when it
:29:04. > :29:04.
:29:04. > :29:11.mattered. A bad time for Benito van de Pas to it will lose two
:29:11. > :29:21.successive legs. As we know, Benito will not give in until the last
:29:21. > :29:21.
:29:21. > :30:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:30:03. > :30:07.A look at them here! He has never really got the titles that he
:30:07. > :30:17.should have. And he is now having every chance of getting through on
:30:17. > :30:44.
:30:44. > :30:54.a match he could have quite easily it through to the semi-finals of
:30:54. > :30:56.
:30:56. > :31:06.for the first time in four years. He missed a chance there of a
:31:06. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:26.couple of dance at the finish. He knows it, as well. -- darts. He
:31:26. > :31:44.
:31:44. > :31:54.needs it now. Oh, dear! 72! It is the big bull. He has done it! This
:31:54. > :32:06.
:32:06. > :32:16.is incredible! What a day of darts! Fitton family flabergasted. Benito
:32:16. > :32:23.
:32:23. > :32:30.whacks in a bull to stay alive. When the pressure is on, their
:32:30. > :32:40.nerves have not let them down. Throwing to stay alive, they were
:32:40. > :32:53.
:32:53. > :33:03.magnificent. John Travolta would be pleased with them!
:33:03. > :33:14.
:33:14. > :33:24.There has to be a break through. Double 16 often a way players go.
:33:24. > :33:24.
:33:24. > :33:34.Not a way that Darryl Fitton likes. Loves double top. Seldom goes for
:33:34. > :33:36.
:33:36. > :33:46.double 16. He missed it three times for the match. Benito just four
:33:46. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :34:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:34:28. > :34:38.keep him down! What a player. Well done, Benito. Shake of the head.
:34:38. > :34:50.
:34:50. > :35:00.Treble 20 for van de Pas. Darryl with 102. Double 18. No wonder he
:35:00. > :35:14.
:35:14. > :35:24.went for that! He knows what he wants! Game on. Darryl Fitton just
:35:24. > :35:30.
:35:30. > :35:40.has to hold his throw and he is through. Easier said than done.
:35:40. > :35:46.
:35:46. > :35:52.has only held half the legs he started with the darts. Either of
:35:53. > :36:02.these two if they win this now, all the pressure is off. I'm going
:36:03. > :36:14.
:36:14. > :36:22.Fitton, I should not do. Let's hope he has not heard you! Van de Pas
:36:22. > :36:32.has just been edged out in stormy matches like this. Getting near the
:36:32. > :36:45.
:36:45. > :36:53.winning line. Just take the odd one off. No outshot. 50 left for Fitton.
:36:53. > :37:03.We'll leave it now with Fitton to take the match. Went for double top.
:37:03. > :37:05.
:37:05. > :37:14.It's in! There was some nervous moments but Fitton has seen off van
:37:14. > :37:21.de Pas. And that tears have started. It is only the first round but look
:37:21. > :37:28.what it means. He has put his family through the mill. But he is
:37:28. > :37:35.family through the mill. But he is there and that is all that matters.
:37:35. > :37:45.So Darryl Fitton goes through, breaking his first round curse. He
:37:45. > :38:09.
:38:09. > :38:14.will face the No. 1 seed, Stephen Steve Douglas, three weeks ago he
:38:14. > :38:23.had a heart attack. He was cleared to play and he has beaten Gary
:38:23. > :38:31.Stone from Scotland. And Tony O'Shea, against the well known John
:38:31. > :38:36.Walton. Darryl Fitton is here now. A relieved man. What is it like. We
:38:36. > :38:41.heard from Scott earlier who is through from the first time. Does
:38:41. > :38:46.it just grow and grow, the weight on your shoulders? Knowing you have
:38:46. > :38:52.to get through the first round. dos. He is my first time in four
:38:52. > :38:58.years. You put so much pressure on yourself. Because this is the only
:38:58. > :39:03.major tournament we have got. There has been so much emotion. I notice
:39:03. > :39:11.did today in the players' room and in the crowd. A lot of people
:39:11. > :39:21.crying out there. Let's take a look. Your reaction when you finally hit
:39:21. > :39:29.that double top. He's dead eat yourself. -- you steady yourself.
:39:29. > :39:38.Look at that excelled. Physically and emotionally drained. When I saw
:39:38. > :39:45.my daughter crying, I got a bit emotional. Overall a really good
:39:45. > :39:49.check out. It sets you in good stead, comparable with Stephen
:39:49. > :39:55.Bunting he will play next. It is going to be a tough game against
:39:55. > :40:03.Stephen. He used to play for the same county team. All the lads get
:40:03. > :40:13.on famously. People say there should be no friends on the oche
:40:13. > :40:17.
:40:17. > :40:22.but I'm one of those who do have friends on the oche. We love this
:40:22. > :40:29.man when he comes on the stage. He is quite quiet but he comes alive
:40:29. > :40:39.on a that stage. But you must like the entertainment factor that comes
:40:39. > :40:44.
:40:44. > :40:51.with Darryl Fitton. Silver amongst the gold! He is a very quiet man.
:40:51. > :40:58.People are shocked sometimes when they see me. He is quiet, he
:40:58. > :41:08.whispers to you. You have to start being more aggressive. We have to
:41:08. > :41:12.
:41:12. > :41:22.fear it you more on the dartboard. I have always said that. I know I'm
:41:22. > :41:27.capable of winning the tournament. I love it when you're music comes
:41:27. > :41:35.up on the walk on. You must be a man who likes his music. Spending
:41:35. > :41:43.your younger days out on the tiles! I have to get rid of my belly,
:41:43. > :41:53.dancing to that. He might be the skinniest man left in the game!
:41:53. > :41:59.am one of them, definitely. Robbie Green, Tony O'Shea. Scott Mitchell.
:41:59. > :42:05.You actually are the skinniest! You said about your family in the crowd.
:42:05. > :42:14.How many children have you got? have got four daughters. That must
:42:14. > :42:24.be torture! Any grandson's? granddaughters, one grandson. He
:42:24. > :42:30.
:42:30. > :42:36.plays darts as well. He is very good. I got him a set for Christmas.
:42:36. > :42:41.The third throw, he got 180. Take footage now because you want to be
:42:41. > :42:47.able to embarrass him later. Exactly what Bobby George did with
:42:47. > :42:54.his son, Ritchie. He had the presence of mind to film his
:42:54. > :43:04.children so he could embarrass them all these years later. Isn't it a

:09:36. > :10:15.
:10:15. > :10:25.looking cool. Won't be allowed a got two in. Throwing caution to the

:16:18. > :17:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds

:17:58. > :18:03.situation. They have to win by two clear legs at this point unless it
:18:04. > :18:09.goes to five apiece, in which case the 11th leg of this set will
:18:09. > :18:19.become sudden death. Ritchie has got the advantage on this tie-

:18:19. > :21:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds

:21:29. > :21:34.Don't dance in time yet! They think Marie and Kim, that he needs to win

:23:03. > :23:11.
:23:11. > :23:21.a thing. It is all over! He was in the shot before the dart went in!
:23:21. > :23:31.Well done! Prins held it altogether. It was a hard match for him. But
:23:31. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:40.Here they are, the good, bad and Bobby. After all the years, going
:23:40. > :23:44.through the meal, you have to do it all over again with your son.
:23:44. > :23:49.more difficult because he is your baby. You want him to do really
:23:49. > :23:55.well. He has so much pressure because of his dad, Bobby George,
:23:55. > :23:59.so that is even worse. You know the rules of darts like the back of
:24:00. > :24:07.your hands. Some of your reactions was sensational. You know you need
:24:07. > :24:13.to win by two legs. I heard him say, he has got to get this one. I
:24:13. > :24:18.thought, my God. Then they all went mad, I wasn't watching. So I
:24:18. > :24:22.thought he had won! Now you will have to go through it all over
:24:22. > :24:29.again. Will you keep your emotions more in check because Bobby was a
:24:29. > :24:33.mess as well? I will try. I will have Bobby sitting with me. All of
:24:33. > :24:41.the build up, everybody was talking about it. Bobby was playing it down
:24:41. > :24:46.a bit, but intense pressure on you. Now you can just go and be Ritchie.
:24:46. > :24:50.It felt good to get the first game out of the ways. I try not to think
:24:50. > :24:55.about the pressure but it is always in the back of your head, the
:24:55. > :25:00.expectations. It wasn't a great game but when I needed to play I
:25:00. > :25:04.played well. It feels good to get with it and now I can concentrate.
:25:04. > :25:10.Bobby is always very honest and he did not change that because it was
:25:10. > :25:17.his son. He did put you away! You said he was lucky but the positive,
:25:17. > :25:22.when he had to do it, he did it. was lucky. Prins played better than
:25:22. > :25:27.him. He should have beaten him a couple of times. He had the chance.
:25:27. > :25:35.He couldn't hit the 19! So I don't know why he went for it, he was
:25:35. > :25:41.miles away. It is true! He is no good on the 19, he is better on the
:25:41. > :25:45.20, he should have stuck with that. He got away with it but he took the
:25:45. > :25:51.chance. He had a bit of luck and he took that chance and I was proud
:25:51. > :26:00.that he hit the doubles. What was he like when you were playing
:26:00. > :26:06.football at school? Score a hat- trick! Exactly! Bobby is obviously
:26:06. > :26:12.a great teacher as well. Yeah. He tells the truth. You can't see
:26:12. > :26:17.where you are going wrong so you do need somebody to tell you sometimes.
:26:17. > :26:26.But I had to hit the 19 for the 107. But things like that you can work
:26:26. > :26:32.on. He worked at 13 darts, 13, 13. I can play better than that, it was
:26:32. > :26:37.up and down. I could not find my range at first. The last set, I
:26:37. > :26:42.started to relax a bit and find it a bit more. I felt most comfortable
:26:42. > :26:47.when I had to do it. Why was more nervous when I did not have do.
:26:47. > :26:51.has been nice to see you drinking Diet Coke most nights in the bar.
:26:51. > :26:58.Definitely more level-headed than your father! You also have some
:26:58. > :27:04.nice people to take you away from here. Colin Lloyd has been here.
:27:04. > :27:09.Yeah, just to get away and practice. Try and work on things. Not think
:27:09. > :27:15.about the last game, it has gone now. Keep my head straight.
:27:16. > :27:21.should reveal, although it is a few months in the family as news, you
:27:21. > :27:25.have had a son, you have had a husband, possibility may be in 18
:27:25. > :27:30.years from now, you will still be looking as lovely as you do now,
:27:30. > :27:37.you could be coming back here with a grandson to chew on because
:27:37. > :27:43.Ritchie has done the business there! Exactly. And our other son's
:27:43. > :27:51.girlfriend is expecting! I don't think so! It's will be nice to have
:27:51. > :28:01.a couple of female Georges. That is what I want! What about Robert?
:28:01. > :28:02.
:28:02. > :28:10.plays with darts. He is so good, I say, why don't you play it? He says,
:28:10. > :28:18.ought man's game, and walks out. That is true! -- an old man's game.
:28:18. > :28:23.Who is the best George on the dot boards of the whole family? Bobby!
:28:23. > :28:29.-- the dartboard. Thank you, darling! Let's find out who will
:28:29. > :28:33.play Ritchie in the second round. If you don't already know. It was
:28:33. > :28:37.likely to be Martin Adams, the three-time champion, but his lack
:28:37. > :28:43.of form that won him three times previously was a bit of a worry
:28:43. > :28:53.going into this one. Still, he was ahead be favourite against an 18-

:28:55. > :29:02.year-old Dutch kid with a very I get asked about my name all the
:29:02. > :29:07.time but I am playing darts, not the guitar, so I don't do anything
:29:07. > :29:17.about the other Jimmy Hendriks. Some people asked me to walk on to
:29:17. > :29:22.
:29:22. > :29:28.some of his music but I don't know I did well in the youth last year,
:29:28. > :29:33.I won the World Cup. I have kinda won everything in the youth and
:29:33. > :29:38.this is the first year I have played with the men. It feels
:29:38. > :29:48.really good. I love it. I went into the crowded today and watched some

:29:51. > :29:57.games. Great game. I am really excited to plate. -- to play. I
:29:57. > :30:02.have been texting other people, I see them all the time, he has given
:30:02. > :30:07.me hints and tips, trying to introduce me to the darts world.
:30:07. > :30:12.have known him since he was nine and he played darts because of fast.
:30:12. > :30:18.We are good friends with his mum and dad. The progression has been
:30:18. > :30:23.so quick, it was a bit of a shock to me to be quite honest. It is a
:30:23. > :30:30.privilege to be around him. He is funny. He has got his dad's sense
:30:30. > :30:36.of humour and he is just a great gig. The first time at Lakeside I
:30:36. > :30:41.have to play Martin Adams, who has won three years, and he has been
:30:41. > :30:46.playing 20 years, so it is a night's first time to play at
:30:46. > :30:56.Lakeside! I hope I can keep going like I always tried to do and I
:30:56. > :31:00.
:31:00. > :31:08.hope if I enjoy the game, I might Well Jimmy Hendriks started well
:31:08. > :31:18.but could he followed it up? We hand back to Tony Green and Jim
:31:18. > :31:33.
:31:33. > :31:39.far. Brilliant from a young man who simply knows no fear. He started
:31:40. > :31:49.playing at nine years of age. Holland is producing so many great

:32:27. > :32:37.players. A lovely guy, you could Speeding up a little. His dad is

:34:01. > :34:17.

:34:27. > :34:35.
:34:35. > :34:45.Getting tense now, one set apiece, two legs apiece in this third set.

:35:44. > :35:48.
:35:48. > :35:58.advantage. If he can get into the trebles. He has been hitting them
:35:58. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:18.all the match. Down he comes. Not enough, and they know it. Every
:36:18. > :36:28.scenario is something you are used to. Wolfie has been here so many
:36:28. > :36:37.
:36:37. > :36:47.times. That could be the telling point of this set. He has not
:36:47. > :36:58.
:36:58. > :37:08.thought that one out! 159 is not an outshot. He left himself on a bogie
:37:08. > :37:18.
:37:18. > :37:28.number. Can he do it? He has his own way of finishing. 93 left. The
:37:28. > :37:50.
:37:50. > :38:00.nerves are creeping in. That could be a crucial moment. This is his
:38:00. > :38:15.
:38:15. > :38:25.dad. Two to go. Double four. Oh! And he has done it! There doing
:38:25. > :38:34.
:38:34. > :38:44.battle but it is not over yet. Pressure and talent. Jimmy Hendriks
:38:44. > :39:05.
:39:05. > :39:15.is to sets to one it up in the game many times. I would like to see it

:39:15. > :40:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:40:33. > :40:43.go all the way. Right down to the think. One for double four for

:40:47. > :40:57.Martin Adams. It is four missed doubles in this leg. 167s would
:40:57. > :40:59.

:41:24. > :41:26.this one to Martin. 126. He wants this one to Martin. 126. He wants

:49:29. > :49:30.
:49:30. > :49:40.big let-up in my opinion. Game! The third leg! Martin Adams! It is
:49:40. > :49:47.
:49:47. > :49:57.of the game? You would not think so looking at that! 100 matey! -- 10

:53:09. > :53:14.for Martin Adams! The perfect start! That is his fourth of the
:53:14. > :53:21.Games. He could start walking away with this now. He has had so many
:53:21. > :53:31.opportunities. I don't think he will let it go and that will give
:53:31. > :53:44.
:53:44. > :53:54.him all the confidence, that 180. scores. He is even hitting the big

:54:10. > :54:16.will be a long time since Martin Adams has played a game at Lakeside

:54:26. > :55:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds
:55:40. > :55:44.there is one here. You can't take from Frimley Green and we have
:55:44. > :55:48.already been treated to some magnificent matches. Games that
:55:48. > :55:58.have gone right to the wire, that have been impossible to call until
:55:58. > :56:26.
:56:26. > :56:34.the eleventh-hour, and a couple of that just keeps Jimmy in touch. It

:56:44. > :58:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 117 seconds

:58:23. > :58:28.set and missed all six. It takes the confidence out of you, you're

:58:39. > :59:08.
:59:08. > :59:11.lot of problems but he has stuck You said at any stage, if you said
:59:11. > :59:17.he would have a chance to finish the match, he would have bitten

:00:56. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:07.youngsters. Jimmy Hendriks calls the tune and the three-times world
:01:07. > :01:16.champion is alt. We will have a new will win or at Lakeside this year.
:01:16. > :01:20.The 18 year-old Dutch man. Brilliant job for them. For all the
:01:20. > :01:26.experience, the advantages you would have thought Martin Adams
:01:26. > :01:33.would have, the youngster has played with no fear. The family
:01:33. > :01:36.delighted. Darryl Fitton delighted. Remember the name, as if you could
:01:36. > :01:43.Remember the name, as if you could possibly forget it. Will the drama
:01:43. > :01:50.came in bucketloads. An amazing win. What are you up reflections the
:01:51. > :02:00.morning after? I switched on my phone this morning. It went crazy
:02:00. > :02:07.for almost an hour. I am now busy reading it all. You're in the
:02:07. > :02:11.newspapers, you are big news today. I have only seen one newspaper yet.
:02:11. > :02:16.But I know I'm all over the internet. It is nice to read things
:02:16. > :02:20.about yourself. When you bite into the match yesterday, bearing in
:02:21. > :02:24.mind all but Martin Adams has achieved at Lakeside, did you
:02:24. > :02:34.believe you had a chance at winning? You always have a chance,
:02:34. > :02:44.that is what I think. Did you here Darryl Fitton jumping up and down?
:02:44. > :02:46.
:02:46. > :02:53.I heard a few voices coming through. Darryl Fitton, you have known this
:02:53. > :03:00.young man since he was eight years old. He means a lot to us. We have
:03:00. > :03:09.seen him grow up. And become a top player. He does a lot of travelling
:03:09. > :03:12.with me and Tony O'Shea. It has been great to see him, fantastic.
:03:12. > :03:21.When you watched him as the youngster did you have a mightier
:03:21. > :03:25.then it that there was a special talent? Not at first. We saw them
:03:25. > :03:30.playing football. There was a young girl playing who was actually
:03:30. > :03:35.better than him! But he has progressed. His father plays as
:03:35. > :03:41.well. And after about three years I thought he was better than his
:03:41. > :03:47.father. Maybe five years ago I went to the house, because we do spend a
:03:47. > :03:53.lot of time with the family. During a practice match I thought, I'm
:03:53. > :03:58.going to have to step up a gear. He has just been getting better and
:03:58. > :04:04.better. He has been staying with us since New year's Eve. He's really
:04:04. > :04:08.focused. That is something perhaps I could learn from. What difference
:04:08. > :04:14.has it made knowing that you have had people like this to help you
:04:14. > :04:18.along? It is always great to have them around. They make me feel
:04:18. > :04:25.comfortable so I can keep my mind on the game and not on something
:04:25. > :04:29.else. It means a lot to me. Let us think about the second round match.
:04:29. > :04:34.The to the young guns up there on the big stage. What to think about
:04:34. > :04:42.the forthcoming match against Richie George? Again with both have
:04:42. > :04:47.a chance to win. If you have two players than they both have a
:04:47. > :04:52.chance to win. You've got a big job to do up there. How were you able
:04:52. > :04:57.to keep your nerves under control the first time? A lot of people
:04:57. > :05:07.crumble when they get up on the big stage at Lake you for the first
:05:07. > :05:10.
:05:10. > :05:16.time. I have spoken to Gary and Tony. Are they is me some advice.
:05:16. > :05:21.It worked out quite well. Many congratulations on what has already
:05:21. > :05:31.been a brilliant Lakeside debut. We are looking forward to that match.
:05:31. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:41.I'm looking forward to the game as well.
:05:41. > :05:51.Richie George is through. Same scoreline for Jimmy Hendriks. Gary
:05:51. > :06:02.
:06:02. > :06:08.Jan Dekker is also true, another Dutch man. And Martin Atkins is out
:06:08. > :06:13.as well. A bitter pill to swallow but you
:06:13. > :06:22.were magnanimous in defeat. That comes from experience. And the fact
:06:22. > :06:28.that form is temporary. Something like that! Be where the young
:06:28. > :06:36.Dutchman. You just never know how they're going to perform at their.
:06:36. > :06:41.It is true enough. They are gaining experience all the time. You have
:06:41. > :06:47.to have a bit of I think afterwards and gather it yourself. After the
:06:47. > :06:52.game you're asking, is my time up. That is a lot of nonsense of course.
:06:52. > :06:57.Are you looking ahead as much absolutely. It is a busy year ahead
:06:57. > :07:06.of me. I'm looking forward to all of that. There are a lot of
:07:06. > :07:16.tournaments still to do. And a point to prove. In many ways. My
:07:16. > :07:21.form is starting to come back. You have to take comfort in that.
:07:21. > :07:30.people might think that we're showing a replay from an interview,
:07:30. > :07:40.you look about five or six years younger! He looks lovely. He looks
:07:40. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:56.good. It would be better if you had a shave! He has got all the beer.
:07:56. > :08:03.He got all the doubles. 40 times. You have got to be pretty good. But
:08:03. > :08:08.the boy took his chance. The the runt that you had at the lakeside,
:08:08. > :08:12.it you went years without winning the trophy. So you know how to dig
:08:12. > :08:22.in it and prove people wrong. It has been in a while since you have
:08:22. > :08:22.
:08:23. > :08:27.had to come out and say, I am still here. I last went out in the first-
:08:27. > :08:31.round nine years ago. I bounced back from that and I can do it now.
:08:32. > :08:41.As you get older it do you handle defeat better or does it hurt as
:08:42. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:53.much? He can handle it. The older you get, you do get a better. When
:08:53. > :08:59.you're young, you're full of it. When you're older you are nice and
:08:59. > :09:09.steady. He played well, he did hit the doubles. The boy took his
:09:09. > :09:19.chances. Who do you fancy then in the second round? Richie George, as
:09:19. > :09:20.
:09:20. > :09:30.it happens. There is something abysses -- some of the nervous NOS
:09:30. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:41.in it Jimmy's game. He could come out the winner. Let's take a look
:09:41. > :09:46.at the matches to light. Starting off with that quarter-final, the
:09:46. > :09:56.ladies. Julie Gore are taking on trainer gullible. Ross Montgomery
:09:56. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:08.claimed Paul Jennings. And then in the final game Scott Waites. He
:10:08. > :10:13.begins his campaign against one of seven Dutchman in a draw this year.
:10:13. > :10:18.Your mates might say you're worth a fiver or what ever. It is up to
:10:18. > :10:27.them. I'm just going to get up there. I do not care if I am the
:10:27. > :10:32.favourite bought a massive underdog. If I win, I win. Lakeside is a big
:10:33. > :10:39.family. Everyone is here, it is the biggest tournament in the world. It
:10:39. > :10:49.is like a family. I tried to keep away from the venue for a little
:10:49. > :10:54.bit and do my own thing. Have a bit of practice away from the lakeside.
:10:54. > :11:02.The last time he beat me. He can play well. I watched him in the
:11:02. > :11:09.Grand Slam. He is a good player. He is one of the guys who could win
:11:09. > :11:16.the title this year. Hopefully I can break him. We always have a
:11:16. > :11:22.laugh and a joke. I have played Willie loads of times and I have
:11:22. > :11:32.beaten them before. I'm hoping I can do the same again. Everyone can
:11:32. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:45.win. There are still 32 players are. It is the best of five. I feel good.
:11:45. > :11:53.You never know. I have never played as well at Lakeside as I have done
:11:53. > :11:57.in other competitions. I do not know what it is. I hope that this
:11:57. > :12:06.year I can play like I have been doing around the circuit and other
:12:07. > :12:16.television events. If I do, then you never know. It could be my ear.
:12:17. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:24.He has put in -- put on a bit of weight. That is where all mine has
:12:24. > :12:29.gone! Let us talk about Scott. We had a chat earlier and you cannot
:12:29. > :12:39.imagine him at not winning this trophy at some stage. You would
:12:39. > :12:44.expect him to at some stage. The same as Tony O'Shea. He has been a
:12:44. > :12:50.little bit indifferent but he could come in and turn it up. Who has
:12:50. > :12:59.impressed you have so far? Robbie Green has been bullish. He put in a
:12:59. > :13:05.good performance. It is hard to say. It is a difficult one because of
:13:05. > :13:13.these young Dutchman. We do not know a lot about them. You always
:13:13. > :13:19.pick the names that are familiar. Who else would you throw in their
