:01:04. > :01:10.Mitchell, who reached the second round for the first time. He is
:01:10. > :01:19.raring to go. Anastacia Macro, the women's champion, is already
:01:19. > :01:26.through to the semi-finals. We have the three last first-round matches,

:01:57. > :02:07.the Lakeside. His first-round opponent was no pushover, will

:02:13. > :02:23.Eccles. Scotland's last remaining hope has played -- made the second
:02:23. > :02:28.round before. He will have to go some to beat Paul Jennings. This
:02:28. > :02:38.afternoon we will look at the last Ladies quarter-final, which
:02:38. > :02:48.involved multiple champion, Jiri Noel Gallagher. Or that to come.
:02:48. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:11.I am pleased to be here again. I am really happy. It does not give any

:03:27. > :03:37.last maybe four and a half years. It is the first time I have gone
:03:37. > :03:38.
:03:38. > :03:44.into a tournament with no injuries. I am OK now. I am practising well.
:03:44. > :03:49.It is relaxing. You can see everything - the crowds - how it is
:03:49. > :03:53.going. Lots of people say not to play what is in front of you. That
:03:54. > :04:03.is what I will be doing. The bigger these players are, the better I

:04:11. > :04:21.expect. He is a good player. I can also be a very good player. I was

:07:14. > :07:22.said absolutely nothing except they and back in the red. A decent start
:07:22. > :07:32.for him. He has effectively got that throw in this first leg. Can

:11:26. > :11:35.Renaissance for him as well with Tony Eccles is all over this from
:11:35. > :11:39.the start. Plenty of time to consider. When he was injuries, --
:11:39. > :11:47.with the injuries, he wondered whether he would ever get back on
:11:47. > :11:57.this stage. Not as much success at the PDC as he expected. Primarily
:11:57. > :12:02.
:12:02. > :12:12.that is because of the injuries he believe he was beaten by Adrian
:12:12. > :12:14.

:13:16. > :14:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:14:38. > :14:44.second round at Lakeside. This money on Tony Eccles. You Ask the
:14:44. > :14:54.wise men, who do you fancy as an outsider? This man's name comes up
:14:54. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:05.a lot. He has justified that so far. He has won the first set three zip.
:15:05. > :15:09.His statistics have been very impressive so far. An average of 93,
:15:09. > :15:14.mindful of the fact it is very early in the match. That is
:15:14. > :15:24.comparable to what anyone has thrown so far. His finishing stabs
:15:24. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:58.from the PDC. You're not welcomed back with open arms. Think of Kevin
:15:58. > :16:05.Pietersen and the England cricket team. There is a period of
:16:05. > :16:15.reintegration. It is politics in darts. That is what Tony Eccles is
:16:15. > :16:16.
:16:16. > :16:26.going through. But no politics on the dart board, just numbers.
:16:26. > :16:27.
:16:27. > :16:37.Tony Eccles is going to have a decent chance. Double eight. Double
:16:37. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:55.four. Player error. Haven't been many from him so far. Treble 18
:16:55. > :17:05.would have left double 12, but that is way off. A double four for
:17:05. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:52.Eccles. And a leg up! Racing away brilliantly. He got his first
:17:52. > :17:55.
:17:55. > :18:05.ranking title in the spring. Then the semi finals in the French Open
:18:05. > :18:37.
:18:37. > :18:44.in October. Geeing himself up, Tony Eccles. Fantastic facial expression.
:18:44. > :18:54.I can reveal those are not her natural ears! 136 now for Eccles.
:18:54. > :19:06.
:19:06. > :19:16.First one in. De Vos can't finish. Geeing himself up brilliantly.
:19:16. > :19:25.
:19:25. > :19:35.Double four. Yes! Five legs in a row! It's a dream return for Tony
:19:35. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:44.Eccles to Lakeside. We saw Glen Durran. He is in England
:19:44. > :19:54.international who has been practising with Tony Eccles, and
:19:54. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:20.thrashing him, as often as not. There he is on the right. Glen.
:20:20. > :20:30.Release somebody you want to practise with it you want to
:20:30. > :20:42.
:20:42. > :20:52.sharpen your game. Because just now here. Not too much for them to
:20:52. > :20:53.
:20:53. > :21:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:21:36. > :21:46.Mitchell in the first five legs of his match, we saw him being taken
:21:46. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:10.all the way. How about this for the set? Treble 16 would leave double 9.
:22:10. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:32.It's double 9. Looking at one for double 12. This for his first leg.
:22:32. > :22:42.Against the darts as well. Certainly picked the right double
:22:42. > :22:49.
:22:49. > :22:54.there. Tony Eccles did have a dart at 99. We mentioned that Scott
:22:54. > :22:59.Lynne Shaw match yesterday. It looked to be going entirely away of
:22:59. > :23:08.Scott Mitchell. But he lost the lake and before he knew that he was
:23:08. > :23:18.in a real battle. Eventually limped over the finishing line and we saw
:23:18. > :23:39.
:23:39. > :23:49.going, still quite a bit of beer in that jug! Must be a table full of
:23:49. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:23.Treble 19 now is the shot. It is a tough ask. But a glimmer of hope
:24:23. > :24:44.
:24:44. > :24:54.time. For double top. Needs this. Treble 16 would have left double
:24:54. > :25:10.
:25:10. > :25:20.top. But Eccles has another chance to take the lead. No! This is a
:25:20. > :25:29.
:25:29. > :25:33.chance. Two darts at double top to get it back. Only needed the one!
:25:33. > :25:43.He has a chance to go at Lovell again and get that bad start behind
:25:43. > :26:06.
:26:06. > :26:16.heading in for a break, two sets down. Eccles could not find a
:26:16. > :26:16.
:26:16. > :27:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:27:22. > :27:32.Chained to his mind halfway through himself 100. Treble 18 would leave
:27:32. > :27:45.
:27:45. > :27:55.bull. Five twenties, now two tens. Brilliant! He has got out of jail
:27:55. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:13.in this set. Would you believe it?! One set all at Lakeside.
:28:13. > :28:29.
:28:29. > :28:31.So as you were, 1-1. Both sets have gone against the darts so far. How
:28:31. > :28:41.will Eccles respond to having five darts for a two set lead and
:28:41. > :28:47.
:28:47. > :28:57.missing all of them? Wesley Harms already through. It was not an easy
:28:57. > :29:03.
:29:03. > :29:13.match for him yesterday. Your guess as good as mine as to what Runa
:29:13. > :29:20.
:29:20. > :29:25.David was playing at. The maximum for Eccles.
:29:25. > :29:35.Came out for the first set like a house on fire. And has come out
:29:35. > :29:48.
:29:48. > :29:58.after the break in the same manner as well. Double 16. He will be back.
:29:58. > :30:11.
:30:11. > :30:21.Another bounce out. The first of missing seven consecutive darts at
:30:21. > :30:21.
:30:21. > :31:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:31:16. > :31:26.Tony Eccles. He steadies himself their feet. Every single time.

:34:02. > :34:10.good form last year until he met time in the match? He is on a
:34:10. > :34:20.finish and he is on a good one - Shanghai 20s. They are not many
:34:20. > :34:29.Belgians here. Those who are here are pretty loud and pretty the
:34:29. > :34:32.citrus. They know who they want to win and it is this man. -- pretty
:34:33. > :34:42.vociferous. They all thought that dart was on its way to the double

:34:43. > :36:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:36:31. > :36:38.Jackie. He is simply a fan of Belgian darts. We saw him here last

:38:05. > :38:12.many players during the tournament. Until the final match winning dart
:38:12. > :38:16.goes in, there is still a chance. How do you avoid self- doubt

:38:26. > :38:27.
:38:27. > :38:37.into your throwing arm when you have missed five darts for 8 2-0

:39:21. > :39:46.
:39:46. > :39:56.game in the force goes to Tony Eccles. He got to the quarter-
:39:56. > :40:06.finals in 2007. Prior to that, he had only when RIM one in six of his
:40:06. > :40:09.
:40:10. > :40:18.last match is. -- won. He was a first round loser in 2003, 2004. In
:40:19. > :40:28.2005, he lost to a Dutch opponent. Then Again a first-round loser.
:40:29. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :41:01.Then he won a couple of matches. He our right hand side been us
:41:01. > :41:01.

:41:10. > :41:20.Mervyn King and Tony Eccles in that game about where each one steered.
:41:20. > :41:22.
:41:22. > :41:32.-- stood. That is surprising, both of them being involved in
:41:32. > :41:32.
:41:32. > :42:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:42:38. > :42:48.controversy. A great entertainer! when he has taken his time at the
:42:48. > :42:48.
:42:48. > :43:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:43:30. > :43:40.Hartlepool, has his work cut out but his favourite to level the
:43:40. > :43:40.
:43:40. > :44:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:44:24. > :44:34.need to. How much pressure can I wonder if that was a costly error.
:44:34. > :44:49.
:44:49. > :44:56.Eccles! He has had his moments. He has been up and down. From the
:44:56. > :45:06.first leg and the single double top finish, he has had some highlights.
:45:06. > :45:19.
:45:19. > :45:29.It is 2-2. We are in an all- had one shot at double top to win
:45:29. > :45:34.
:45:34. > :45:44.it. Perfect. We played for SATS. Played 15 legs. We have no idea who
:45:44. > :45:44.
:45:44. > :46:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:46:47. > :46:57.Still looking tidy at 56. Eccles on 281. You have to keep concentrating
:46:57. > :46:57.
:46:57. > :47:07.because you just never know. Do not waste any darts. De Vos to take the
:47:07. > :47:14.
:47:14. > :47:24.lead once again. Eccles in a hurry to get on with it. The scoring
:47:24. > :47:26.
:47:26. > :47:36.pattern has been remarkable, so up and down. Five sets to Eccles. Then
:47:36. > :47:36.
:47:36. > :49:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:49:05. > :49:15.a 14 darter from de Vos. You have as well. He might go for 19s. To
:49:15. > :49:18.
:49:18. > :49:28.move to within a leg! Yes! Easy as you like. A 14 dart leg, a 15 dart
:49:28. > :49:33.
:49:33. > :49:43.leg. Well done, Tony Eccles. Very sporting applause. Very magnanimous
:49:43. > :50:11.
:50:11. > :50:21.from Eccles. Must win the next two winning a leg. But he is the man
:50:21. > :50:40.
:50:40. > :50:48.within a leg of the match. He needs to throw these to stay in.
:50:48. > :50:58.I wonder how the Belgian darts fan is feeling? I think he is enjoying
:50:58. > :51:07.
:51:07. > :51:17.himself. If Hercule Poirot had been a darts fan, I think he would have
:51:17. > :51:23.
:51:23. > :51:33.looked like him! 87 points from round two. This is it. He has done
:51:33. > :51:42.
:51:42. > :51:48.it! An extraordinary match. Ends with an extraordinary dart. Who
:51:48. > :51:55.said the Belgians cannot celebrate! said the Belgians cannot celebrate!
:51:55. > :51:59.De Vos, he loves it. He is a great example of a hard
:51:59. > :52:05.working darts player. Last year he came here and got better and better.
:52:05. > :52:11.This year he has confidence in his own ability. He played really well.
:52:11. > :52:20.He was solid. Started of a bit slowly. Tony Eccles got in front of
:52:20. > :52:25.him and I thought he was in trouble. Then he'd settled down. But at the
:52:25. > :52:33.beginning he was hitting the lines. Yesterday I was going on about
:52:33. > :52:40.averages and you chastised me. And I think this is the proof. Tony
:52:40. > :52:49.Eccles got 90.84. There's not much in it. But averages mean nothing.
:52:49. > :52:57.It is the winner of the end. save 40 is about average for the
:52:57. > :53:07.checkout. But 43 and he still did not get through. It is the doubles
:53:07. > :53:10.
:53:10. > :53:15.in every leg. So basically Geert de Vos is solid, and playing to that
:53:15. > :53:22.standard at every leg? Exactly. If you keep on all the time, you put
:53:22. > :53:30.pressure on the player. I like the fact that he brings in the Belgian
:53:30. > :53:35.contingent. My favourite darts fan is the crazy Dutch guy. He is great
:53:35. > :53:44.to talk to. But once the play starts he goes crazy. Did you ever
:53:44. > :53:50.have a crazy fan like that? Yes, loads of women, normally! Then you
:53:50. > :53:56.start at losing your looks! He is the first man from Belgium to play
:53:56. > :54:04.on the stage. Have you done any exhibitions in Belgium? I used to.
:54:04. > :54:09.But there are not as many. In Belgium they do have exhibitions.
:54:09. > :54:14.He is the one shining light? probably gets the work over there.
:54:14. > :54:19.He goes into the second round. And tonight we have the first four of
:54:19. > :54:24.those. Scott Mitchell could not hold back the tears as he made it
:54:24. > :54:29.past the first round finally. He has to tame the beast that is
:54:29. > :54:34.Robbie Green tonight. Then Darryl Fitton who gets more dangers as he
:54:34. > :54:40.does progress. But he has the Masters champion and No. 1 seed
:54:40. > :54:47.Stephen Bunting in front of him. Alan NICE then takes on Wesley
:54:47. > :54:51.Harms. 12 years and 12 stone between them. And the wonderful
:54:51. > :54:57.Tony O'Shea takes on the affable Steve Douglas who has been helping
:54:57. > :55:01.me in the last couple of days, of which could affect his chances
:55:01. > :55:07.tonight! This guy has been here so many
:55:07. > :55:12.times. 11 previous visits. Disaster eighth time in the second round,
:55:12. > :55:17.Tony. You look pretty calm. I could not believe it when you said I had
:55:17. > :55:23.been knocked out three times. I thought it was more than that!
:55:23. > :55:33.Happy to beat in the second round. I'm happy about that. How do you
:55:33. > :55:34.
:55:34. > :55:40.assess the performance? It was a big win. It was not perfect. John
:55:40. > :55:43.missed a lot of shots. You need a bit of luck sometimes. But practice
:55:43. > :55:48.is going well today so hopefully I will put in a better performance
:55:48. > :55:53.tonight. You are a bit of an elder statesmen around this wing. People
:55:53. > :55:58.ask for advice. Can you remember the first performance on the big
:55:58. > :56:03.stage? It was against Colin Monk. It was my first time here and I was
:56:03. > :56:09.very nervous. But I thought it might be the only time I was here.
:56:09. > :56:16.All my prize money, I spent it in the week. I had a fantastic week.
:56:16. > :56:21.It was quite an exciting game, going to a final leg decider. Great
:56:21. > :56:27.memories. You have, long way since then as have your fans. Have you
:56:27. > :56:33.got the usual army of Stockport crowd descending? They have already
:56:33. > :56:37.set off. They seem to turn up all the site -- all the time. They were
:56:37. > :56:44.there on Saturday night on the balcony. It is nice to see when
:56:44. > :56:48.you're ready to play. Is there ever a time when the sport becomes a
:56:48. > :56:53.pressure? Because now that all the former champions are knocked out, a
:56:53. > :56:59.lot of our eyes are focusing on you. People saying, is it finally you're
:56:59. > :57:05.year? The only thing I can do is go and play my best. I do not worry
:57:05. > :57:10.about how the crowd of feeling. I tried every year, just as hard.
:57:10. > :57:15.Hopefully one day it will happen. But it is not the end of the world
:57:15. > :57:22.if it does not happen. You do not seem bothered about this people's
:57:22. > :57:26.champion tag? As long as there are enjoying the performance. And they
:57:26. > :57:33.can see that I do enjoy it most of the time. It is nice to be champion
:57:33. > :57:39.of something! What about the match against Steve? On the paper you are
:57:39. > :57:43.the favourite. I preferred it being the underdog. I always seemed to
:57:43. > :57:48.fight harder. He's playing well at the moment. I watched him last
:57:48. > :57:54.night in practice. He seems to be in good form. He actually looks a
:57:54. > :57:59.lot better senses health care. He is an England international, it
:57:59. > :58:03.will be a tough game. One thing coming across talking to you is
:58:03. > :58:09.your sheer passion for darts. It does not seem to have waned at all
:58:09. > :58:16.despite all the years. You still love boats bought? That is why I
:58:16. > :58:26.started playing. I love playing darts. And I still watch every game
:58:26. > :58:27.
:58:27. > :58:32.on television. I have got a video library of old games. My first ever
:58:32. > :58:38.visit down here was in 1987 with Allan Evans. He had a great run
:58:38. > :58:43.that year. He was a friend of mine. I never dreamt then that all these
:58:43. > :58:49.years later I would be playing here. They will all be shouting for you
:58:49. > :58:54.as they always are. Good luck. And this is the man who has to
:58:54. > :58:58.contend with that, Steve Douglas. He's always the same, Tony O'Shea.
:58:58. > :59:03.Really well respected, softly spoken and respectful of you. But
:59:03. > :59:10.up there he is a different beast. He is a different animal when it is
:59:10. > :59:14.game on time. Of course he wants to win like everyone else. He is a top
:59:14. > :59:18.fellow. Love him to bits. Yours similar off the oche but you
:59:18. > :59:23.maintain your smile when you're up there. Things have changed for you
:59:23. > :59:27.so much. He had a heart attack three weeks ago. It is a miracle
:59:27. > :59:34.that you are here playing. Does that help you game in a way? I'm so
:59:34. > :59:43.relaxed. I have to be. I feel really good. Last year I got pretty
:59:43. > :59:49.uptight and did not play so well. I'm just so happy to be here. It is
:59:49. > :59:53.surreal. Three weeks ago, a heart attack. You have to deal with the
:59:53. > :59:57.first round getting through at the lakeside. You have got Tony O'Shea
:59:57. > :00:04.to light. But the hardest ordeal for you has been teaching me to
:00:04. > :00:08.play darts. A lot of people get a dartboard this time of year. I'm
:00:08. > :00:14.terrible and you said you would teach me. Sold for anyone at home,
:00:14. > :00:24.it might be good to have a look. It told me I was just stabbing the
:00:24. > :00:25.
:00:25. > :00:30.dark. That is a terrible way to do it. So just for basics, Steve is
:00:30. > :00:36.going to show us. It is all but the follow-through. That is the basic
:00:36. > :00:41.thing. When you're aiming you need to release it like that. The reason
:00:41. > :00:48.for that is in theory, every one should be the same for close to the
:00:48. > :00:58.same. It is all about mechanics. When you are stabbing hit, you have
:00:58. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:16.to do it twice and smoothly. -- We have spent hours together.
:01:16. > :01:19.
:01:19. > :01:27.Before I was stabbing and trying to You pointed out, it is not all
:01:27. > :01:37.about the scoring. That was 41. It is not about that. It is getting it
:01:37. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:48.in the right area. If you go Treble 13, treble 18. It is there. They
:01:48. > :01:56.are not bad darts. Do not be too gutted if you are hitting 27, 26.
:01:56. > :02:06.was just under you. Do you want to play tonight? Geoff Pack meet him.
:02:06. > :02:06.
:02:06. > :02:16.If you rub three-set Stan, tagged me in. -- tag me in. If you are
:02:16. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:41.In the second half of the draw, Anastasia Dobromyslova beat
:02:41. > :02:42.
:02:42. > :02:46.Lorraine Farlam. She will play the winner of last night's blast
:02:46. > :02:56.quarter-final between Trina Gulliver or, who was playing

:02:56. > :06:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds

:07:00. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:16.on the score boards. Scores of 100 or more come up bread. A bit like a
:07:16. > :07:26.Ryder Cup in the first. -- red. You want red on the score board and not

:10:09. > :10:19.memories of winning, Julie Gore has the opposite memories - five
:10:19. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:46.defeats out of five. On the way to roadshows. She only last two. --
:10:46. > :10:54.

:11:36. > :11:47.
:11:47. > :11:57.engrossed. Why are they not I think they are nervous of each
:11:57. > :11:57.

:15:35. > :16:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds

:19:52. > :20:02.I wonder if Trina is in a bit of Treble 20. Double eight left. Well
:20:02. > :20:25.
:20:25. > :20:35.one set. Pressure on Julie Gore now. She has found it! That is what
:20:35. > :20:47.
:20:47. > :20:57.makes a champion. The Golden Girl emblazoned on her jacket. She has
:20:57. > :21:27.
:21:27. > :21:37.nights ago. I asked how you turn things around on stage and she said,
:21:37. > :21:45.
:21:45. > :21:55.you just dig deep. Absolutely. Now she has a chance to level the set.
:21:55. > :22:13.
:22:13. > :22:22.Julie back on 422. Look at Julie's scores. 28, 22, 29. Yesterday we
:22:22. > :22:32.had Wesley Harms against Rune David. It was an extraordinary match. She
:22:32. > :22:35.
:22:35. > :22:45.is back, and how! What a turn around! The Trina Gulliver of old
:22:45. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :23:04.is back. Julie has to win this leg. 15 darter followed by a 15 darter.
:23:04. > :23:11.
:23:11. > :23:21.And now this is match point. Trina has a big following here. She was
:23:21. > :23:27.
:23:28. > :23:37.cheesed off earlier. A lot of fans in from where she was born and she
:23:38. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:48.has brought her neighbours! She said they put up with a lot! Really
:23:48. > :24:18.
:24:19. > :24:28.switching it on. Every chance to the change from the first couple of
:24:29. > :24:40.
:24:40. > :24:50.legs. Julie on a finish of 141. Back to normal. Come on, treble 20.
:24:50. > :24:58.
:24:58. > :25:08.It is a good chance. It is a nice finish. 141 cannot now be taken out.
:25:08. > :25:12.
:25:12. > :25:22.A big moment. Taking her time. Still treble 20. She will stay on
:25:22. > :25:48.
:25:48. > :25:58.that. To keep her in the match. It is the 18. Julie will not have got
:25:58. > :25:58.
:25:58. > :26:08.past the first round once again in the World Championship. Still a
:26:08. > :26:11.
:26:11. > :26:21.chance for Julie Gore. A big moment. Biting her nails again. Double five
:26:21. > :26:37.
:26:37. > :26:47.she needs. Unlucky! Double ten, three darts in her hand. Oh, dear.
:26:47. > :27:08.
:27:08. > :27:18.Bust. Tension ratchets up another notch. She has bust it. It is
:27:18. > :27:25.
:27:25. > :27:35.exciting. Julie Gore's partner watches on. She finds that double
:27:35. > :27:35.
:27:35. > :27:42.ten! You have to feel sorry for Julie Gore. Six defeats out of six
:27:42. > :27:45.for her on the lakeside stage. Trina Gulliver has never lost her
:27:45. > :27:51.first match and she's through to first match and she's through to
:27:52. > :27:55.another semi-final. Congratulations on your win last
:27:55. > :28:00.night. But a different situation this year because you arrived here
:28:00. > :28:08.unseeded. It has been difficult this year personally. But Mike
:28:08. > :28:16.darts has been steady. It was Julie Gore who want the World Masters and
:28:16. > :28:20.I was next in the rankings to come up. Slight feelings of guilt but
:28:20. > :28:28.what is your honest assessment of your performance? It was hit and
:28:28. > :28:35.miss. It started off well. Then we both had asset or a couple of legs
:28:35. > :28:41.where we were getting rubbish scores. She was hitting 43. And I
:28:41. > :28:49.thought go up and put the pressure on and I hit a 41. Just one of
:28:49. > :28:53.those things. Then the following leg was different after -- again.
:28:53. > :28:59.It will be nil against Anastasia Dobromyslova. To the fact that it
:28:59. > :29:04.is Anastasia Dobromyslova want - did make you want to wind even
:29:04. > :29:10.more? She is just another player. Another good player that you need
:29:10. > :29:14.to beat on the way. Was there a bit of needle between Bute last year?
:29:14. > :29:19.Do you feel that in some ways she was a touch disrespectful in the
:29:19. > :29:24.manner in which she celebrated her victory? A little bit. But that is
:29:24. > :29:31.a year ago. This year is different. What do you do between now on
:29:31. > :29:35.Friday? It is a long time to wait for a big match. It is, I will just
:29:35. > :29:39.be chilling out, doing bits and pieces and just relaxing. What
:29:39. > :29:47.would it mean to you to beat her, to get into the final and make it
:29:47. > :29:54.10? That would be nice. Double figures would be nice. I will try
:29:54. > :30:02.my best. And Anastasia Dobromyslova will try to defend her title, it is
:30:02. > :30:05.the same. Good luck when it comes. It will be an epic night on Friday.
:30:05. > :30:10.Reserved earlier in the week when Anastasia Dobromyslova is on that
:30:10. > :30:15.stage, we make sure we get our dinner at nice and early! It is
:30:15. > :30:17.great for the women's game. She says she reckoned Anastasia
:30:17. > :30:27.Dobromyslova was a bit disrespectful last year. But
:30:27. > :30:28.
:30:28. > :30:36.perhaps she was just a bit more bullish? I do not think she did it,
:30:36. > :30:41.every player likes to let their and motions out. She might have done
:30:41. > :30:51.the same. They got a bit nasty together. But they have been
:30:51. > :30:59.
:30:59. > :31:02.playing on the circuit and it is She has started to settle down. She
:31:02. > :31:09.has got used to Anastasia Dobromyslova. Not as good as she
:31:09. > :31:15.used to play. She played pretty well, Julie Gore. She said she
:31:15. > :31:21.normally plays well at the World Masters but never here. Trina
:31:21. > :31:28.Gulliver serve that Anastasia Dobromyslova is just another player.
:31:28. > :31:34.I am not buying that. I think it means more to both of them.
:31:34. > :31:43.knows, if she does beat her, she can win it. It will be the final
:31:43. > :31:52.for her. Anastasia Dobromyslova thinks the same. Who wins it?
:31:52. > :31:58.must go for Anastacia. I need to tell the truth. I like training
:31:58. > :32:08.galloper but Anastasia Dobromyslova is playing brilliant. -- Trina
:32:08. > :32:12.
:32:12. > :32:19.A long way to go. We are still recounting last night's first round
:32:19. > :32:25.games. It is the second round tonight. We're going to columns --
:32:25. > :32:35.concentrate on Alan Norris against Wesley Harms. Very little to split
:32:35. > :32:40.
:32:40. > :32:50.I am enjoying every match. That is why it I play so easily up here. I
:32:50. > :32:56.
:32:56. > :33:02.love darts. If you do not love My total game, I was not that
:33:02. > :33:12.satisfied. My average was low. At the end of the game, mentally, I
:33:12. > :33:12.
:33:12. > :33:22.stood above it, so that was good. My goal is one match at a time.
:33:22. > :33:24.
:33:24. > :33:29.Every game is a final. Simple as It was probably my worst
:33:29. > :33:39.performance on stage for nearly a year or so. There is plenty to work
:33:39. > :33:44.on. We both missed the doubles. I was happy in the end. I think we
:33:44. > :33:49.have a good relationship. We make jokes about each other. We both
:33:49. > :33:53.want to perform better than each other. I think we have a good
:33:53. > :34:01.relationship. A lot of people think he is arrogant and full of himself.
:34:01. > :34:07.When you get to know him, it is more lost in translation. That is
:34:07. > :34:17.his translation of Dutch to English. He is a great guy. He will do
:34:17. > :34:21.anything for you. I think he is a magnificent, a good player. If you
:34:22. > :34:29.see him all around Europe, he has done great stuff. A great respect
:34:29. > :34:35.for the guy. He is learning. A couple of years on the circuit and
:34:35. > :34:42.fantastic results. He is doing well. When we played together, we are
:34:42. > :34:51.friends. On the stage, we cannot be friends. It will not interrupt my
:34:52. > :35:01.game. I have played him a few times on the Circuit Gilles de -- the
:35:02. > :35:02.
:35:02. > :35:08.I have never lost to him when it matters. It will be a tough game -
:35:08. > :35:18.a proper darts match. I just want to get in there and hope for the

:36:09. > :36:18.to the wire on the double 12 for at the 9th darter. I felt sorry for

:36:25. > :36:31.There is no giving it the big smiling game. He does the job.

:36:46. > :36:53.is a good player. You can get at him. He played Rune David and he
:36:53. > :37:03.barracked him bad. He came through in one. You can get at him because
:37:03. > :37:09.he is a youngster. He is a tidy player to watch. I have to go with
:37:09. > :37:16.Norris. It will be close. Whip up up to the best of seven sets. It
:37:16. > :37:21.gives time to see the best of the players. It is the second round and
:37:21. > :37:26.it is a different game. They feel better because they are in the
:37:26. > :37:33.tournament. Tomorrow, we will have highlights of the four second round

:23:33. > :24:07.

:25:17. > :25:26.second. And missed darts at double What a game, what a thrill. The

:25:29. > :25:34.Paul Jennings is through! One of the men responsible for the drama
:25:34. > :25:40.yesterday was Paul Jennings. A fantastic win in the end. I picked

:25:46. > :25:53.I had been up late the large -- the night before. I had a twinge in my
:25:53. > :25:57.shoulder. Did it affect you in the early stages of the match? In the
:25:57. > :26:07.warm-up. But then adrenalin took over. We are confident that you had
:26:07. > :26:11.managed to get a result? It was not an easy draw. I just played him in
:26:11. > :26:15.it and work and beat him so I was confident. But he is a very steady
:26:15. > :26:23.player. I was watching the match with Tony O'Shea and she was so
:26:23. > :26:28.impressed with some of Europe finishing. I had a 144 Checkout,
:26:28. > :26:35.yes. I impressed myself! Were you surprised to hit those doubles so
:26:36. > :26:40.easily? A bit surprised. I have been practising them a lot. So not
:26:40. > :26:46.that surprised. You are a player who sometimes falls under the radar.
:26:46. > :26:52.You do not court publicity. You got to the quarters last year. Just
:26:52. > :26:58.feel you have your own way of going around the championship? I just

:27:47. > :27:52.today at the auditorium. Some just coming out of the forces after 23

:28:00. > :28:07.this afternoon. Congratulations. You have come down here to
:28:07. > :28:15.celebrate 23 years. Did you get a lead against Martin Adams? I was
:28:15. > :28:21.kicking his backside a little bit at the beginning! It is hard to
:28:21. > :28:27.keep Bobby George from us wearing. It will not happen again! It was a
:28:27. > :28:35.good day yesterday. It has been amazing. Who won it? Of course he
:28:35. > :28:41.did. Introduce me to the men who are sending you off after 23 years.
:28:41. > :28:49.This is one of my colleagues I have worked with for many years, we have

:28:59. > :29:07.the back end over there. I am sure I recognise you from somewhere. You
:29:07. > :29:12.were dressed up as a dartboard last night! That was me. Nobody else
:29:12. > :29:19.would you wearing fancy dress. Why did these guys are not step up to
:29:20. > :29:26.the plate? I am just the fall guy it all the time! Are you going to
:29:26. > :29:34.miss this guide? What a way to send him off. He is a good lad. He likes
:29:34. > :29:40.his darts so we thought we would get him down here. We will keep in
:29:40. > :29:47.contact. A you going to tell all the guys back home at the bags to
:29:47. > :29:52.come down and play darts? -- at the barracks. Absolutely. But nobody
:29:53. > :30:00.can top this one. This is the best leading do anyone in the regiment
:30:00. > :30:05.will ever get! Well he is devilishly handsome so he can stand

:30:29. > :30:34.I have never played as well at Lakeside as I have done in other
:30:34. > :30:40.competitions. I do not know what it is, I do not know why it is. I hope

:30:59. > :31:08.are massive favourite for underdog, I am just going to go and play my
:31:08. > :31:14.own game. Today, we will go out and have a couple of hours' practice.
:31:14. > :31:21.We will get some lunge later on, come back and have a quick shower.

:00:07. > :00:17.sixth visit here. He is doing everything exactly the same, he
:00:17. > :00:19.

:01:37. > :01:44.that in him. He needs to produce them -- produce them Mike house. --
:01:44. > :01:54.like he has. The lightning speed and the highest check out is double
:01:54. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :02:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 74 seconds
:02:43. > :02:53.top soap bar. -- so far. 76 for the We knew he was on form. We knew
:02:53. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :03:04.Scotty to Hotty was hearty but we did not know how Ottey pulled start
:03:04. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:13.You are pretty happy with that last night. It is always nice to get off
:03:13. > :03:16.to a good start and a 3-0 first- round win is good. Right up until
:03:16. > :03:23.the second to release the dart, you are blocking the tip with your
:03:23. > :03:28.finger. It is actually between the dart and the dart board. It is
:03:28. > :03:35.strange. To hold my dart in the same place all the time, I put the
:03:35. > :03:45.point in my finger pulls up at the last minute, it makes the darts go
:03:45. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :04:01.nice and easy. -- my finger pulls - -. He throws dead straight. A
:04:01. > :04:04.perfect, dead straight dart. That is why he is so good. You throw
:04:04. > :04:10.your darts like Bobby in terms of stance. Some players like Scott
:04:10. > :04:17.Mitchell have made it through to the second round by the first time
:04:17. > :04:23.bus-stop you seem very confident. am comfortable. -- the first time.
:04:23. > :04:29.When I started to get comfortable, I played really well. What about
:04:29. > :04:39.back home? Do they newspapers write about the exploits? Now they're
:04:39. > :04:46.starting to write about me. They are writing about me now. You bring
:04:46. > :04:53.probably at least 50 fans now. This guy, I have been told to do not
:04:53. > :04:59.know him. He must be your dad will stuff he is as excited as anyone in
:04:59. > :05:06.the arena. If he is not your dad, he is your Stocker. Do you know
:05:06. > :05:14.him? I have known him for 10 years. He comes to the Lakeside for many
:05:14. > :05:23.years. Now he is a fan of me. people talk about it Davos, people
:05:23. > :05:28.say, he is the guide with the crazy fan. -- Geert de Vos. We know he
:05:28. > :05:37.can produce world-class stars when he is on form. I have played a
:05:37. > :05:43.couple of times against him. Tomorrow, I think, I can win.
:05:43. > :05:49.will become enough up there. He is that kind of person. -- calm enough.
:05:49. > :05:55.We have played against each other before and always had a good game.
:05:55. > :06:00.It should be a good, exciting game tomorrow as well. You said
:06:00. > :06:06.yesterday that your game plan was to step away from the Lakeside. You
:06:06. > :06:14.are practising in a working man's club down the road. You have been
:06:14. > :06:20.here for a few hours. It was absolutely packed today. All the
:06:20. > :06:26.locals seem to enjoy it as well. Giving their club a mention. I
:06:26. > :06:32.still did not get a free pint. good idea for Scott to do that.
:06:32. > :06:38.People keep talking to him about quarter-final. You have to play to
:06:38. > :06:46.win. They cannot play themselves. You get that. You get all that. You
:06:46. > :06:56.do not want to be nasty to them. What you're saying is, if you are
:06:56. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:07.at the Lakeside 24/7, you love your darts. If you want to get away from
:07:07. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:13.their, you have to go somewhere like that. This guy has a high 80s
:07:13. > :07:22.average. Does Geert de Vos have the chance? He started off a bit bad in
:07:22. > :07:27.the first set. He could not get into deep treble 20. You're OK on
:07:27. > :07:35.19ths. After the first set, you hit the treble. It got the nerves out
:07:35. > :07:41.of your system. Tell me if I am wrong. I was not too nervous. If I
:07:41. > :07:47.am not comfortable, I play like I am practising. I am impressed he
:07:47. > :07:53.understood a word you said. In the Lakeside, he is best player here
:07:53. > :07:59.personally for studied does not always work out like that. --
:07:59. > :08:07.personally. It does not always work out like that. He could be the guy.
:08:07. > :08:16.He needs to stop him. He is definitely the man to stop. You ran
:08:16. > :08:25.in the Grand Slams have been amazing. What a way to go out! He
:08:25. > :08:30.was sensational. It was like, I cannot get in front of him. You
:08:30. > :08:37.come off stage and think, I did nothing wrong whatsoever. I have
:08:37. > :08:42.lost that game. The average was there. It was phenomenal. If we
:08:42. > :08:47.have a game like that tomorrow, it will go down in the history books.
:08:47. > :08:54.You get back down to the working men's club. What is the rest of
:08:54. > :09:02.your day? I am going to practise a bit and sleep her label stuck a
:09:02. > :09:12.nice early night! -- sleep a bit. This is the draw and what we will
:09:12. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:45.These are tonight's fixtures that we will have highlights off at
:09:45. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:03.11:20pm on BBC Two and tomorrow Two of the Lakeside's most popular
:10:03. > :10:08.players are still on stage and up for the Cup. We are really good
:10:08. > :10:14.friends but we have played together at county level. We have got a lot
:10:15. > :10:20.of respect for each other. I have known him since he was 15 years old.
:10:20. > :10:27.He beat me in the final of the Lancashire Open when he was 15. I
:10:27. > :10:33.do not think he was even allowed the prize money. He has had Jimmy
:10:33. > :10:38.Hendriks staying at his house. He is one of those guys who always
:10:38. > :10:44.looks after the young players. bought his last ticket. I told him
:10:44. > :10:54.he could have that bit. I paid for it and he was over the moon. -- had
:10:54. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:05.He is a bit like a big teddy bear for the stock he is a lovable
:11:05. > :11:15.character. I think the crowd will be on his side. Hopefully I can
:11:15. > :11:19.
:11:19. > :11:24.turn the tide and get him on my We will be friends of the oche.
:11:24. > :11:30.Before and during the game we will give each other respect. I want to
:11:30. > :11:35.win as well, like he does. I am not going to be shaking hands and
:11:35. > :11:41.hugging him during the game. We will do that before and after.
:11:41. > :11:47.looking forward to this one. Highlights on BBC Two. I remember
:11:47. > :11:52.the debut for Steve Bunce in. It is almost like he was glad to be here.
:11:52. > :11:59.He was in the bar all the time. He was in the middle of everything.
:11:59. > :12:04.This year, it is very different. He has his family with him. He has
:12:04. > :12:10.changed completely. He does all the things that youngsters do. Now he
:12:10. > :12:14.has a family, he needs to earn a few quid. If he uses his head, he
:12:14. > :12:18.will make a lot of money. If you are playing some and you do not
:12:18. > :12:28.know, you can make the employer mob tactics. If someone knows you
:12:28. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:37.inside out,, is it a stab in the dart? You have to share brooms with
:12:37. > :12:44.these guys was that if you hate these guys, it is no good. -- share
:12:44. > :12:51.rooms with these guys. They it all cuddled each other, like
:12:51. > :13:01.footballers. I do not like that. He is not going to do that. He is not
:13:01. > :13:08.going to barracks or nothing. you all right? I am now. Can Darryl
:13:08. > :13:14.beat Stephen Bunting? He can beat him. Of course he can. What does he
:13:14. > :13:20.need to do? Score really heavy and hit his doubles. If he puts them
