Day 5

:00:40. > :00:43.A very good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the 2013BDO World Darts

:00:43. > :00:46.Championships from Frimley Green. Bobby and I have stepped out on to

:00:46. > :00:49.the water's edge at the Lakeside where I can tell you it's

:00:49. > :00:59.absolutely freezing. So let's get inside as quick as possible. Bobby,

:00:59. > :01:04.what is the tie of the day? "May the Darts be with you". When did

:01:04. > :01:11.you make up that phrase? 1994. have been using that phrase ever

:01:11. > :01:19.since? Yes. Let's get back to the Star Wars. This is what we have

:01:19. > :01:23.coming up this afternoon. The masters champion, Stephen bunt bunt

:01:23. > :01:28.was focused and ready to go. He took on Darryl Fitton who is

:01:28. > :01:34.motoring after a few years of misfiring. It was anyone's call

:01:34. > :01:39.when Alan Norris took on the laid back glove-loving Wesley Harms.

:01:39. > :01:42.Scott Mitchell had it all to do against King Kong Robbie Green.

:01:42. > :01:47.Steve Douglas was a man with nothing to prove after making it

:01:47. > :01:50.from a heart attack to the oche in three weeks, but the loveable doe r

:01:50. > :01:55.Tony O'Shea was not be in the mood for sympathy once he entered the

:01:55. > :02:04.arena. Also this afternoon, a look at two Lakeside legends who passed

:02:04. > :02:09.away in 2012, jockey Wilson and Sid Fiddell.

:02:09. > :02:14.We can't take the cold here. We'll begin with Scott Mitchell. He

:02:14. > :02:24.reached this round for the first time and was up against the fifth

:02:24. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:36.seed Robbie green. He was hoping to reach the quarter-finals. Welcome

:02:36. > :02:46.Scotty Dog Scott Mitchell. Five, four, three, two, one.

:02:46. > :02:46.

:02:46. > :04:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:04:33. > :04:43.Robbie rocked the first three sets and was cruising as we join it at

:04:43. > :05:00.

:05:00. > :05:09.Oh, dear. They look very similar. Yes. He's been dancing! Now that is

:05:09. > :05:19.a programme I want to watch, Robbie Green on Dancing on Ice or Strictly.

:05:19. > :05:33.

:05:33. > :05:43.the way things are going. A few muppets and plonker I saw there.

:05:43. > :05:43.

:05:43. > :05:53.Ah, no, zipy and bungle. Roland Rat and Del Boy and Rodney. Only at the

:05:53. > :05:57.

:05:57. > :06:07.darts! All part of the fun. 57. I don't know what that mask is! Look

:06:07. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:06:54. > :07:01.43. Robbie could punish that. Only one score of 60. One, two, three,

:07:01. > :07:11.four, five, six, seven, out of nine throws. And there's the 140.

:07:11. > :07:12.

:07:12. > :07:22.there's Colin Murray who's put on a bit of weight. Loves his darts,

:07:22. > :07:24.

:07:24. > :07:29.Colin, doesn't he? 95. Scott rarely - the first on a finish in this leg

:07:29. > :07:35.- to be honest... You require 16 4. He could do with something to

:07:35. > :07:41.galvanise him. How about this, a 164? And a Shanghai for Robbie. So

:07:41. > :07:50.this isn't going to happen. Treble 20, treble 18 and the bull. Robbie,

:07:50. > :07:59.Shanghai on 120s. 140. You require 120. The treble 20. Single 20.

:07:59. > :08:09.Double top. He's going to have to move. Just covering the double.

:08:09. > :08:10.

:08:10. > :08:16.It's there! Robbie Green wins the first leg. Cruising now is Kong!

:08:16. > :08:25.Game on. That must feel like a pun torch the solar plexus of Scotty

:08:25. > :08:35.Dog. It's been a while since he's had a dart to the double. One leg.

:08:35. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :08:53.His only one. He's lost the last seven in a row. Not finished yet.

:08:53. > :09:07.

:09:07. > :09:17.Has his own landscape gardening perform. We know you can do better

:09:17. > :09:50.

:09:50. > :10:00.one leg. 136. He'll be so distraught when he gets off the

:10:00. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:14.stage, will Scotty. I know how he's feeling. 125. Sparkle. 141 left

:10:14. > :10:24.after that 125. You require 141. should win this leg and Sharon

:10:24. > :10:27.

:10:27. > :10:34.knows it. Biting her finger nails. 105 left. Treble 15. No. He'll be

:10:34. > :10:44.back for 91. You just know that some pressure is coming. That's

:10:44. > :10:47.

:10:47. > :10:57.really unlucky. 80. Scott, you require 91. Treble 17. If he wants

:10:57. > :11:14.

:11:14. > :11:24.to. He could use double ten. Bull's Beautiful. And deserved. Third leg

:11:24. > :11:47.

:11:47. > :11:52.Scott two, to go first. Game on! off in that last leg. Just couldn't

:11:52. > :12:00.find the scoring. Couldn't get down to a finish. Scott, to his credit,

:12:00. > :12:05.took full advantage with that 91. 121. And now a couple in the treble

:12:05. > :12:15.20 and are we finally going to see some darts from Scotty Dog?

:12:15. > :12:32.

:12:32. > :12:41.messaging each other on Facebook earlier this morning. What

:12:41. > :12:51.surprised me, they were both up at 7.30, 8 o'clock is. Both come down

:12:51. > :12:56.

:12:56. > :13:06.for 19s. Good thinking and a good shot. Still with the throw. 195.

:13:06. > :13:22.

:13:22. > :13:29.Robbie's gone off the boil now. Six darts from one three eight. Can be

:13:29. > :13:39.done in three. A treble 18. Leaves double 12. He'll be back. 79.

:13:39. > :13:42.

:13:42. > :13:52.have done without the one. Scott Mitchell on 59. 61. Scott, you

:13:52. > :13:54.

:13:54. > :14:04.require 59. 19 double top. 38. Oh, dear. 21 left. Fiver, double eight,

:14:04. > :14:30.

:14:30. > :14:34.semi-finals on his way to the Center Parcs Masters in Belgium in

:14:35. > :14:44.011. They've only met once before on TV these two. Scott beat Robbie

:14:45. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :14:56.5-1. The first round group stage he beat him. 13 months ago that was.

:14:56. > :14:56.

:14:56. > :15:02.Gone back to where he was in the early stages. 100. Your head's

:15:02. > :15:10.spinning. So many people watching you, wanting to do so well for all

:15:10. > :15:20.your fans and when it doesn't happen, it's like Mick Jagger

:15:20. > :15:20.

:15:20. > :17:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:17:05. > :17:15.this leg. 71 scored in six darts. because he cannot finish. It may

:17:15. > :17:39.

:17:39. > :17:46.He needs it because he is just one leg away. 180! Give him some cheers

:17:46. > :17:51.because he has had a struggle up there. We know he can do better.

:17:51. > :17:57.That is the way to start a leg, throwing for your Lakeside life,

:17:57. > :18:07.180. I was hoping he would get and nine the dart finish. Weren't we

:18:07. > :18:24.

:18:24. > :18:29.all. -- nine dart finish. It is this leg, it makes all the

:18:29. > :18:39.difference. He is on a Finnish, crucially. Robbie will not be on

:18:39. > :18:39.

:18:39. > :19:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:19:45. > :19:55.done it! Look at that! Scottie dog, the underdog! We thought he did not

:19:55. > :19:55.

:19:55. > :20:05.have the chance. He is still the heavy underdog but the Scottie dog

:20:05. > :20:05.

:20:05. > :20:15.may just have started howling. He has got a set on the board. He is

:20:15. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:46.get that bit of energy and you guarantee that is what it is.

:20:46. > :20:56.Giving rugby a chance to think how close he was to the quarter-finals.

:20:56. > :21:21.

:21:21. > :21:28.-- Rob Key. 152 points away to be has happened before, he will try

:21:28. > :21:38.not to be thinking that. But the thing is, Scott has not made up for

:21:38. > :21:38.

:21:38. > :22:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:22:58. > :23:08.He missed three darts and then lost that doesn't pump him up, nothing

:23:08. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :26:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:26:12. > :26:20.going in. Robbie is having a great this could be the point of no

:26:20. > :26:26.return. You wanted to see him kick on after that 130 checkout to get

:26:26. > :26:31.the first leg. He won his first set of the match. But he had a very

:26:31. > :26:39.quiet leg and is struggling again. The it is all in the mind, that is

:26:39. > :26:46.the trouble. Once your mind starts taking you away from it, you just

:26:47. > :26:50.want to dig a hole. He is not the only person on this stage that has

:26:50. > :26:58.come on and suddenly nothing has gone right. And he will not be the

:26:58. > :27:07.last. I have seen everything in 40 years. I think I know a little bit

:27:07. > :27:12.about what I am talking a bout. know more than a little bit, Tony.

:27:12. > :27:22.It is just something you never want to happen. But like I said, it is

:27:22. > :27:49.

:27:49. > :27:59.it. They do love him. They love the high scores as well. His fourth of

:27:59. > :27:59.

:27:59. > :29:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:29:21. > :29:31.the match and his first for a get this, the next leg. He has got

:29:31. > :29:45.

:29:45. > :29:55.set, he is only a leg away, and then it becomes interesting. It can

:29:55. > :30:05.

:30:05. > :30:15.about the match. -- throughout the match. Rugby has gone off the boil.

:30:15. > :30:16.

:30:16. > :31:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:31:44. > :31:50.-- Rob. But he has still got it in leg. And contrived to lose it.

:31:50. > :32:00.Scott will be thinking he needs to put pressure on just like this...

:32:00. > :32:02.

:32:02. > :32:10.And that. Can he do it? Yes. require 24. Fifth leg Robbie to go

:32:10. > :32:20.first. Game on. Going for the match again. Just got a shot there. His

:32:20. > :32:33.

:32:33. > :32:37.son Jamie's biting his finger nails. a lead having been up. Looking at a

:32:38. > :32:47.152 to reach the quarter-finals. Robbie's never been as far as the

:32:48. > :32:55.

:32:55. > :33:04.quarter-finals before. Two 140s. Come on. Maximum. Why not?! 140.

:33:04. > :33:13.Something to cheer but not a lot. 57. Bit of breathing space for

:33:13. > :33:23.Mitchell. Whatever happens, this leg will take a set. One of them

:33:23. > :33:26.

:33:26. > :33:36.will take the match. You require 164. Another one. 128. You are in

:33:36. > :33:49.

:33:49. > :33:59.trouble now Scotty unfortunately. year, sunshine. 23. Robbie Green

:33:59. > :34:04.with a double 18 for the match. There it is. And a quarter-final

:34:04. > :34:12.for the man they call Kong. The adventure ends in round two for

:34:12. > :34:15.Scotty Dog. The fifth seed goes through. Without playing his best

:34:15. > :34:20.through. Without playing his best darts but Robbie's through. In

:34:20. > :34:23.darts, you have to expect the unexpected, but sometimes it's as

:34:23. > :34:28.pribltible as a football match between top and boat Tom of the

:34:28. > :34:33.table. That was the case - what we thought was going to happen did --

:34:33. > :34:38.predictible? Robbie was up for it. Scotty's too soft, you know, he

:34:38. > :34:42.just starts off soft. He was a bit under the weather and when Robbie

:34:42. > :34:47.got on top of him, it was just a practise match for him, to be

:34:47. > :34:51.honest with you. We knew from the walk-ons, Scott was looking down

:34:51. > :34:56.and he said "Come on Scott" to himself before he'd thrown a dart.

:34:56. > :35:00.When Robbie came out, he was up on the camera lens giving it all that.

:35:00. > :35:03.Robbie didn't sweat. No pressure you see. If you don't sweat, you

:35:03. > :35:08.don't have pressure and poor old Scott Mitchell just had to throw.

:35:08. > :35:13.He just threw for the timing really, he didn't play. Yes. We should give

:35:13. > :35:18.credit to Robbie Green. He might be a big lad, quite bullish, you know,

:35:18. > :35:24.quite confident, but he'd never reached the quarter-finals before.

:35:24. > :35:28.Heets - he's done that now so he got over a hurdle he's never got

:35:28. > :35:31.over before? He wasn't pushed and to play like that even when you are

:35:31. > :35:36.not pushed, he's done well. When he's pushed, it brings the better

:35:36. > :35:42.out of him. He'll do better now because it's going to get longer.

:35:42. > :35:52.He'll go a fair way. Best of seven. Nice and early in this afternoon's

:35:52. > :35:52.

:35:52. > :36:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:36:41. > :36:44.show. Let's look ahead to tonight's You've got to try and take it in

:36:44. > :36:54.before you get out on to the stage. Obviously, as you are walking out,

:36:54. > :36:59.

:36:59. > :37:03.the crowd are amazing here. The It's important. Obviously sometimes

:37:04. > :37:09.it gives you a lot of time when you are having a double, but it's that

:37:09. > :37:18.rush as well again, gets the crowd going and gets you up for it a bit

:37:18. > :37:25.more. When the first one went in, I thought, keep the next one with it.

:37:25. > :37:32.Then obviously the double, I didn't think, I just went straight for it.

:37:32. > :37:38.As they've been doing in practise, they've just been going in. I don't

:37:38. > :37:45.know much about Cullen as a player. I haven't seen anything of him

:37:45. > :37:49.until I came to Lakeside. I watched his game against Martin Atkins.

:37:49. > :37:55.Jason was there and took his chances when he needed them so I'm

:37:55. > :38:00.going to have to be up for it again. They are all tough matches anyway.

:38:00. > :38:04.Obviously, it's the second round now so it's going to be tough for

:38:04. > :38:10.whoever's in the competition. You have to play your own game. It

:38:10. > :38:16.doesn't matter who does what, I'm here to win it, not just to make

:38:16. > :38:21.the numbers up. Paul Jennings doesn't see himself as that,

:38:21. > :38:28.neither does Bobby. But he'll have to get through an impressive

:38:28. > :38:33.debutant. How we do it back home it's a cup of tea isn't it? Yes.

:38:33. > :38:38.Sugar? My mum will make you eight of these an hour, you will have tea

:38:38. > :38:44.coming out of your ears, like Mrs Doyle in Father Ted. How many

:38:44. > :38:50.sugars? All of it. Sweet and strong like myself! I like it stirred to

:38:50. > :38:54.the left. OK. Like James Bond. Sugar? No, thanks. Same here. Just

:38:54. > :38:58.like the taste of the tea. Bobby, if you don't understand Jason or I

:38:58. > :39:01.say for the next few minutes, sit there and smile, OK? I can

:39:01. > :39:09.understand him better than you. Bobby made the point, you were

:39:09. > :39:16.first up on that stage taking on Martin Atkins, first stage at the

:39:16. > :39:21.Lakeside. How did you handle it all? Once I walked in, to do the

:39:21. > :39:25.walk, it hit me like it's happening now. Just as we walked down along

:39:25. > :39:29.the other walk and once I got to the stage it was sort of like, pull

:39:29. > :39:34.yourself together now, you have a job to do here and it just went

:39:34. > :39:40.well. People are going to say, who is this guy, what is he going to do.

:39:40. > :39:43.Back home in Ireland, you have cleaned up, done really well. Is it

:39:43. > :39:50.time to announce yourself further afield? Yes, it's something I've

:39:50. > :39:55.wanted to do. I've been in the Lakeside qualifiers seven years now.

:39:55. > :39:59.Earlier this year I got the bit of luck and made the breakthrough.

:39:59. > :40:03.know I think a lot of Paul Jennings, he got to the quarter-finals last

:40:03. > :40:09.year, what does he have in his game that Jason should be worried about?

:40:09. > :40:14.Well, he's very steady, he doesn't panic. He's a guy that does n't

:40:14. > :40:22.panic. Some guys panic and you can read that. Jennings don't panic. He

:40:22. > :40:27.keeps the same level all the time. He's probably just in the '90s, but

:40:27. > :40:33.he can go up obviously he's got to go up, but 90s all the time. You

:40:33. > :40:41.have to go 100 or 95. Jason, what part of your game should Paul be

:40:41. > :40:46.worried about? What can you bring to the Lakeside stage tonight?

:40:46. > :40:50.hoping to hit a good 180 here or when I relax I might let myself do

:40:50. > :40:54.it. Just relaxing and getting myself prepared and ready to go.

:40:54. > :40:58.Every time you do, it's like rearranging the furniture and

:40:58. > :41:02.moving into a new flat, it takes a while to understand where

:41:02. > :41:08.everything is and the second time you will feel more at home? Yes,

:41:08. > :41:13.I'll hopefully feel more relaxed. You are a stonemason like this man

:41:13. > :41:21.by trade. Bobby is a master trader aren't you, a builder? Yes.

:41:21. > :41:28.built your own house from scratch. Redirected water off skramp land --

:41:28. > :41:33.swamp land which he rents out at an extortionate rate. You are a

:41:33. > :41:38.stonemason, like a bricklayer that lays stone? Yes. So they make you

:41:38. > :41:44.the stone and you lay? Yes. don't chop out like years ago?

:41:44. > :41:50.we do the building part of it. he's tidy with his hands. On the

:41:50. > :41:57.level, aren't you? Yes. So the first thing you are going to do is

:41:57. > :42:01.check the oche is level? Yes! sure the stage is right! That could

:42:01. > :42:07.be your gimmick, that would be brilliant. One more question for

:42:07. > :42:11.you. What is so bad about my tea?! You haven't even touched it,

:42:11. > :42:18.Bobby's half way through, I'm going to have a second cup. You don't

:42:18. > :42:23.even drink my tea. What's going on? We'll get to it eventually. Should

:42:23. > :42:27.have just sent my water over here! Best of luck. Thanks for having a

:42:27. > :42:33.chat with us. More highlights of the second round, the top half of

:42:33. > :42:40.the draw last night and the ever popular Tony O'Shea who's been here

:42:40. > :42:45.for an age. Steve Douglas is counting every dart as a blessing.

:42:45. > :42:49.Amazing up here isn't it? Lakeside stage. It's hard enough

:42:49. > :42:54.every year coming here, but with what's happened over the past three

:42:54. > :43:01.weeks it was even harder because I was worried about his health. The

:43:01. > :43:04.fact that we are here is massive. Had a pain in my neck. Said to my

:43:04. > :43:08.mother, I don't feel well, she thinks I'm trying to blag a day off

:43:08. > :43:13.work and she said what do you want me to do about it and I said I

:43:13. > :43:18.think ring an ambulance. Straight up into theatre, accident in, three

:43:18. > :43:26.hours, done, I asked him, the surgeon, got a game of darts in

:43:26. > :43:30.three weeks' time and he was like "Darts?" and he said OK, should be

:43:30. > :43:37.no problem, as long as it's not stressful and I said, that's good

:50:02. > :50:03.

:50:03. > :50:10.Their last meeting was when Tony won 3-0 in Germany. Interesting a

:50:10. > :50:15.Lakeside journey from Steve Douglas. We first saw him as a 22-year-old

:50:15. > :50:23.qualifier in 2000. He reached round to, losing to Ted Hankey. Then we

:50:23. > :50:27.did not see him again until 2011 -- round two. He lost to Garry Robson.

:50:27. > :50:33.He events that last year, before Jennings beat him in the second

:50:33. > :50:43.round. This is as far as he has ever been at Lakeside. Can he go

:50:43. > :50:48.

:50:48. > :50:51.further? Not if Tony O'Shea has the amount of experience they have

:50:51. > :50:56.got in this tournament and that will be extremely prevalent later

:55:24. > :55:29.

:55:29. > :55:39.particularly memorable match given double in the second set but then

:55:39. > :55:39.

:55:39. > :55:43.reeled off six legs in a road to win 3-1. Also memorably interviewed

:55:43. > :55:47.afterwards and he confessed that he did not have a clue who he was

:55:47. > :55:56.going to be playing in the next round because he expected to be

:55:56. > :56:00.knocked out. Having said that, I was backstage just after his match.

:56:00. > :56:06.He was walking through a doorway and Darryl Fitton, Tony O'Shea's

:56:06. > :56:12.best mate, was coming back through the door. Darryl said, well played,

:56:12. > :56:22.Steve. Then he said, who have you got next? And Steve newt. You could

:56:22. > :56:53.

:56:53. > :57:03.tell from his answer, which was moment. The wry smile belies

:57:03. > :57:06.

:57:06. > :57:13.Steve's inner frustration. For the set. The set dart! Tony O'Shea has

:57:13. > :57:17.hit his doubles. Steve Douglas has hit just one from eight attempts

:57:17. > :57:27.and that is the difference at the moment, as Tony O'Shea takes as set

:57:27. > :58:06.

:58:06. > :58:16.in the World Masters -- runner up. This would make it six major

:58:16. > :58:23.

:58:23. > :58:32.televised finals without a victory. He has a magnificent CV. Includes a

:58:32. > :58:39.nine-darter. His Dutch Open victory came quite soon after his Lakeside

:58:39. > :58:49.defeat. Just possibly, Tony O'Shea could be about to hit the daddy of

:58:49. > :59:05.

:59:05. > :59:11.all checkouts. Not this time... Two better. At the Dutch Open, it was a

:59:11. > :59:15.few weeks after his Lakeside final debate, -- defeat, against

:59:15. > :59:22.Christian Kist, and there are hundreds and hundreds of dart

:59:22. > :59:27.boards along the length of a hotel for, and then there is one on the

:59:27. > :59:31.stage, and he was on that stage in every round, having just reached

:59:32. > :59:37.the Lakeside final, and on either side of the dog board was a huge

:59:37. > :59:46.poster of Christian Kist with the Lakeside Trophy dash dot board.

:59:46. > :59:56.That got Tony angry! He said he use that as motivation. Every time it

:59:56. > :00:09.

:00:09. > :00:19.saw Christian Kist with his trophy, him win a world title. Twice losing

:00:19. > :00:19.

:00:19. > :00:23.finalist, twice also a losing semi- finalist. Also lost a quarter-final

:00:23. > :00:33.against van Barneveld in 2006 and he's been here every year since

:02:54. > :03:04.of darts and your whole demeanour changes. Your opponent's changes

:03:04. > :03:28.

:03:38. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:50.-- so far. Steve has a chance for a 2-0. Treble 17. Would have left

:05:16. > :05:24.is back in order, he requires 55 than capable. We have seen it

:05:24. > :05:34.already this evening. Needed the treble 20 to start. Could have done

:05:34. > :05:41.

:05:41. > :05:51.with more than that. For the set... Double five. And low. Last dart.

:05:51. > :06:01.Yes. Game and second set, Steve Douglas. He waves a fist at the

:06:01. > :06:02.

:06:03. > :06:12.crowd. One set all in the Lakeside second round. We pick it up again

:06:13. > :06:13.

:06:13. > :07:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:07:06. > :07:12.after O'Shea made it five legs on to thank the staff at the hospital

:07:12. > :07:16.in Ashford who treated him, he was there three or four days before he

:07:16. > :07:25.was released to the new healthier lifestyle. He seems to have

:07:25. > :07:35.embraced it. Good to see a rye smile as well. Just lost five legs

:08:55. > :09:01.3-1 lead. Double eight big dart. Not the biggest target but a big,

:09:01. > :09:07.big response and Tony O'Shea is flying, leads 3-1. Tony O'Shea with

:09:07. > :09:10.the tarts at the start of this fifth set. Needing one more set to

:09:10. > :09:16.book his place in the quarter- finals. It would be the fourth time

:09:16. > :09:21.in five years he'd reached at least the quarter-finals. In fact, his

:09:22. > :09:31.record at Lakeside since 2009 is final, semi-final, first round,

:09:32. > :09:33.

:09:33. > :09:38.final. Certainly looking set fare for a -- set fair for a place in

:09:38. > :09:46.the semi-finals this time. Aiming to win a seventh successive leg.

:09:46. > :09:51.Won the third set in less than five minutes. He'll do anything he can

:09:51. > :10:01.to complete the job here. Good response from the man from Kent

:10:01. > :10:15.

:10:15. > :10:25.supporting. Even if you are neutral, frankly. One of the great stages in

:10:25. > :10:25.

:10:25. > :11:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:11:07. > :11:12.well go here. Brilliant darts from adjustment. Easy enough to follow

:11:12. > :11:17.into the treble 20. Treble 18. Now it's the double 16 he was trying to

:11:17. > :11:27.avoid but he hits that. The first leg, Tony O'Shea. Second leg it's

:11:27. > :11:34.

:11:34. > :11:44.Steve throwing first. Seven legs in to leave themselves but he hasn't

:11:44. > :11:58.

:11:58. > :12:04.hasn't he? His weight of scoring has been fantastic. OK, he's only

:12:04. > :12:14.had the 180 so far. Look at the advantage he has over Steve in the

:12:14. > :12:44.

:12:44. > :12:50.when he's not throwing fireworks... 100 points is the advantage. And

:12:50. > :13:00.remember, Steve Douglas threw first in this leg. Here comes another

:13:00. > :13:07.

:13:07. > :13:16.bit of banter in the crowd as well. The crowd saying "Come on" and he

:13:16. > :13:26.mouthed back "I'm trying". Moves towards another leg. 16 for double

:13:26. > :13:40.

:13:41. > :13:46.finish. The kind of chance he has ten to move within a leg of yet

:13:46. > :13:56.another quarter-final, his sixth in his Lakeside career.

:13:56. > :13:57.

:13:57. > :14:03.Two tens he seeds. Yes. Game Tony O'Shea. Third leg, Tony to throw

:14:03. > :14:08.first. Game on. Despite Steve's well-publicised health problems and

:14:08. > :14:18.despite how great it is for him just to be here, Tony O'Shea is

:14:18. > :14:31.

:14:31. > :14:34.he would have made it through to the quarter-finals having just

:14:34. > :14:39.dropped one set. In fact having just dropped eight legs in his

:14:39. > :14:46.first two matches. Three of those were in successive legs in the

:14:46. > :14:56.second set here. Since the first break, he hasn't put a foot or

:14:56. > :15:09.

:15:09. > :15:19.easy second round win, it's sending out a bit of a message --

:15:19. > :15:38.

:15:38. > :15:43.convincing easy second round win, three darts at Lakeside. If they

:15:43. > :15:53.are, it has been great to see you here, Steve, and we know you will

:15:53. > :16:17.

:16:17. > :16:27.that Steve has achieved here. He would have hoped to have achieved

:16:27. > :16:31.

:16:31. > :16:37.fallen in the first round, you wonder whether this might just be

:16:37. > :16:41.Tony O'Shea's turn. Twice a runner up, always a bridesmaid, and as

:16:42. > :16:46.some of the big hitters have gone, O Shame marches on and he has

:16:46. > :16:51.dropped just the one set in the process, but the plaudits and the

:16:51. > :17:01.applause not just for Tony but also for Steve Douglas. His story,

:17:01. > :17:05.A very nice win for Tony, Robbie is here as well fresh from his victory

:17:05. > :17:10.last night. A lot of people last night said the man of the evening

:17:10. > :17:16.was the man that he beat, Steve Douglas. We were ready thrilled for

:17:16. > :17:21.him. I know on stage you are an animal but was there a little pot a

:17:21. > :17:25.view that felt he deserved it? Obviously, over Christmas, we heard

:17:25. > :17:30.the news and you do not want to hear things like that but he looked

:17:30. > :17:36.fantastic! Better than he did before. He has come through it and

:17:36. > :17:41.he feels well and he will do well. You look the same as always. How do

:17:41. > :17:47.you feel this year? I feel quite good this year. I feel fitter and

:17:47. > :17:52.healthier. Obviously not younger! But I feel pretty good. You notice

:17:52. > :18:00.I have not asked you if this is the year. You must want to punch the

:18:00. > :18:04.people that keep asking that every year. You are one of the best

:18:04. > :18:09.players in the circuit. Do we abscess a bit more about Tony

:18:09. > :18:14.O'Shea's legacy then you do? Everybody else is more fixated on

:18:14. > :18:19.it than I am. I just do what I can do and if it is meant to be, it

:18:19. > :18:26.will happen. This man could be sitting here with us in ten years

:18:26. > :18:32.and we will say third quarter-final for you, it really good attitude.

:18:32. > :18:38.You did what you said you were going to do. It went to plan. A

:18:38. > :18:45.little bit sloppy at times but it is a win. 2010, first round, wasn't

:18:45. > :18:51.it? Against him? He put you all the way. This time you have to beat him

:18:51. > :18:57.up. I will try it! You are a little less bullish when you're sitting

:18:57. > :19:01.next to him! That is interesting! I love it. I think Robbie has got

:19:01. > :19:10.further than ever, full of confidence, Tony knows the

:19:10. > :19:18.territory. It could be a classic. Robbie has put more pressure on him.

:19:18. > :19:24.He played better. Tony, a little bit easier against Douglas, wasn't

:19:24. > :19:30.it? The first two, he could have one the second set -- he could have

:19:30. > :19:36.won. But he could not get going then, he was worn out. And you

:19:36. > :19:42.thought to yourself, I will do the job, carry on. And that is what you

:19:42. > :19:51.done. You will not be able to breach of us. It is a clash of the

:19:51. > :19:59.titans. -- able to bully each other. He usually we do a fatty dance!

:19:59. > :20:04.Will be get that again? You never know. Is something like that

:20:04. > :20:08.happens, it would be spontaneous but it probably will happen.

:20:08. > :20:18.now to remember two great adversaries and their sad departure

:20:18. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:34.In 1989, the World Championship final, this was a match made in

:20:34. > :20:35.

:20:35. > :20:45.heaven. Jocky on the oche. Crafty Cockney. And a Geordie it

:20:45. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :20:58.with the gift of the gab. Lovely Two of the biggest characters in

:20:58. > :21:04.the game, two of the biggest talents. One from England, one from

:21:04. > :21:13.Scotland. England versus Scotland, you know, it brings out the passion

:21:13. > :21:16.from both fans from both sides of the border. Yes! Eric Bristow!

:21:16. > :21:22.Jocky and Eric Bristow would be arguing. I thought they would

:21:22. > :21:27.fight! But that is how they were in those days, that was part of it.

:21:27. > :21:31.Eric was a one-off. He knew how to wind anybody up. He would walk into

:21:31. > :21:36.the players' room and say to every one of them, what have you come

:21:36. > :21:46.here for? I am the one that is going to win it. You are just

:21:46. > :21:50.

:21:50. > :21:55.wasting your time. Jocky, I am When he played in the final, I

:21:55. > :22:01.thought he would definitely beat him. When Jocky is on form, he was

:22:01. > :22:09.like a Bumblebee. The ratio of the wings to his body, he cannot fly,

:22:09. > :22:12.that is a fact. Jocky never knew when he was going to lose, he never

:22:13. > :22:19.looked at the scores, and that is what made him a good dart player

:22:19. > :22:23.because he did not have any fear. But everybody thinks of Jocky is

:22:23. > :22:28.the snatching throw, you can't take your eyes off him when he is on the

:22:28. > :22:31.stage. His character, unpredictability, his character,

:22:31. > :22:37.but as the darts player, this is from a statistician, what a

:22:37. > :22:45.wonderful, wonderful darts play. The best five players of all time?

:22:45. > :22:53.Jocky Wilson is in that list. does it! What an amazing comeback

:22:53. > :22:58.by Eric Bristow! He was five sets down! Unbelievable! What a match!

:22:58. > :23:02.He would never changes underpants when he played in a final. He would

:23:02. > :23:09.keep them on for three or four days because he said they were lucky.

:23:09. > :23:19.They were as well! I should have bought them off him! I used to last

:23:19. > :23:28.

:23:28. > :23:35.Hello, mate. Yes. I remember that Every Bristol once said to me that

:23:35. > :23:39.winning was the greatest medicine known to man -- Eric Bristow.

:23:39. > :23:44.was a professor in history, if the truth was known, and he used that

:23:44. > :23:54.in his commentary. Some of the things he came out with was just

:24:00. > :24:06.are thinking about going to the local writer, is this is not throw

:24:06. > :24:10.and hope. As a fan, I would jump up and down on my settee at home. He

:24:11. > :24:15.was doing exactly the same in the commentary box. He was one of the

:24:15. > :24:22.fans with us, you could tell, from the moment the match started. He

:24:22. > :24:28.knew how to be excited from the beginning. He was up for it.

:24:28. > :24:34.Rocking and rolling! Doing a Mick Jagger on the stage! Eric Bristow!

:24:34. > :24:39.He is back! It is five apiece! he was on telly, or when he was

:24:39. > :24:45.speaking, I could not understand him. He would speak in riddles. I

:24:45. > :24:51.thought, where did he come from, he is mad! But when you knew him, he

:24:51. > :24:55.was a very intelligent and clever man. You will expect the highest

:24:55. > :25:03.standards from the 32 of the best places in the world... Now the

:25:03. > :25:09.world No. 1 is ahead in the deciding set. What can you say

:25:09. > :25:19.about Sid? Seed, you are a one-off. Incredible. He would write his

:25:34. > :25:41.little things down, what he was One apiece in the decider. As it

:25:41. > :25:51.got to the final set, he gave it everything. When he left the 138, I

:25:51. > :25:58.

:25:58. > :26:02.cannot believe that Eric Bristow Championship, you have got to be an

:26:02. > :26:09.idiot to do that. If you have a cap bit in your hand that you can

:26:09. > :26:16.finish, you go for it! -- when you have a dart in your hand. Seed said,

:26:16. > :26:25.he has got a chance here, he should have gone for the bull's-eye. And

:26:25. > :26:35.then he comes up and there egos. -- there he goes. The shot is on for

:26:35. > :26:36.

:26:36. > :26:46.the title. Yes!! I am telling you! I am telling you, I have seen

:26:46. > :26:52.

:26:52. > :27:02.nothing like it in my life! There will only be one Sid. Absolutely

:27:02. > :27:09.

:27:09. > :27:14.So much to talk about but we should start with Jocky Wilson and Sidney.

:27:14. > :27:20.Jocky, you played him in exhibitions and you got to know a

:27:20. > :27:26.great. He was a legend. Characters like that, you don't see very often.

:27:26. > :27:34.When he came along and started taking titles of the bit two, it

:27:34. > :27:38.was a nice change fought Joe Public. I was born in 1977 so do Lakeside

:27:38. > :27:43.was not the Lakeside if you did not have Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow

:27:43. > :27:47.and you look to see if they would clash, it was like Davies and

:27:47. > :27:52.Higgins in the snooker. It was England-Scotland, it was England,

:27:53. > :28:00.Ireland, and it was not the same when he was not doing it. He was

:28:00. > :28:10.that good. The yeah, legend. Sidwell del, he commentated so many.

:28:10. > :28:11.

:28:11. > :28:16.A sad loss -- Sid Wedell. It is like talking about Pele and

:28:16. > :28:22.football. He transformed the commentary box. He commentated on

:28:22. > :28:27.my debut game on TV. He would light up the room. You would hear him and

:28:27. > :28:31.stopped chuckling away with him. He was a great guy. You look back in

:28:31. > :28:41.his history in television as well, let's not forget, can I knock your

:28:41. > :28:46.head, Josse's giants! He was involved in so many TV programmes,

:28:46. > :28:49.the indoor sports on ITV, you go to Cambridge where he went to

:28:49. > :28:54.university and he is mentioned in the same breath as William

:28:54. > :28:59.Wordsworth, but that never went to his head, certainly in a man I met

:28:59. > :29:04.in the last three years. As down- to-earth as you could imagine.

:29:04. > :29:11.first met him in the 70s in the British Matchplay in the red cars.

:29:11. > :29:15.Bobby would have been there. I did not get to talked to him too much

:29:15. > :29:20.but everybody would just listen to what he had to Safe. He was a

:29:20. > :29:24.quality guy. He always had good stories. It was good interviewing

:29:24. > :29:29.him on Radio 5 Live because he has written many novels, including

:29:29. > :29:34.Jocky Wilson's by your gossip, but he once wrote a racy novel that was

:29:34. > :29:40.banned by the high street stores. I am trying to get a copy! Just how

:29:40. > :29:44.good was Jocky Wilson? He was a very good players. He made the

:29:44. > :29:50.quarter-finals here every year. The worst was the quarter-finals! I

:29:50. > :29:55.travelled with him a lot. I went all round the world with him.

:29:55. > :29:59.Probably more than anyone. He was a real character. I played pairs with

:29:59. > :30:05.him on the stage and I turn around and he has disappeared, he fell off

:30:05. > :30:09.the stage, all that sort of thing! We don't see that now. He was an

:30:09. > :30:14.anti- hero. He had his problem with the drinking. He loved the

:30:14. > :30:19.cigarette. I used to share a room with him. You needed a gas mask on.

:30:19. > :30:24.You could not even see the room. He used to smoke 20 fags and night

:30:24. > :30:28.when he was asleep! And he loved the vodka. Her but that was him, he

:30:28. > :30:35.enjoyed himself and he loved to do it. But he was great company to be

:30:35. > :30:39.with and I had a lot of fun with him. I am glad I knew him. When I

:30:39. > :30:42.was sitting in the shorts, you know, with a bowl of cornflakes as a

:30:42. > :30:52.child I genuinely thought that a Jocky and Eric hated each other

:30:52. > :31:00.

:31:00. > :31:05.If a layty came in the room, he'd get up and sit on the floor or

:31:05. > :31:12.something. -- lady. He didn't likery and they used to have

:31:12. > :31:19.challenge matches and Eric say, the more he drinks, the better he gets,

:31:19. > :31:24.he'd play brilliant. He had no fear. He was like a bumble bee, you know.

:31:24. > :31:27.He can't fly, but he could because you didn't know he'd gone. That's

:31:27. > :31:31.what jockey was like. He didn't know when he was going to lose.

:31:31. > :31:34.Maybe if the darts don't live up to expectations we should come back

:31:34. > :31:37.and talk for three hours about the two of them because we could

:31:37. > :31:41.definitely do that. Thanks for that and best of luck in the week

:31:41. > :31:48.against each other. Thanks for joining me and back to last night's

:31:48. > :31:57.second round action in the last 16. An England clash between two men,

:31:57. > :32:05.who to be fair, on paper it was too close to call.

:32:05. > :32:15.I'm just enjoying every match. That's why I play so easily up here.

:32:15. > :32:21.

:32:21. > :32:25.I love the darts. If you don't love darts, why should you play? My

:32:25. > :32:33.total game, I wasn't that satisfied because my average was low. At the

:32:33. > :32:38.end of the game, mentally I stood above it, so that's good.

:32:38. > :32:48.My goal is one match at a time at the Lakeside. Every game is a final,

:32:48. > :32:52.

:32:52. > :32:57.That was probably my worst performance on stage for about a

:32:57. > :33:03.year or so. We both missed a lot of doubles, but got the crucial one

:33:03. > :33:07.for the match in tend so yes, happy in the end. We've got a good

:33:07. > :33:12.relationship. We make jokes about each other and everything. At the

:33:12. > :33:16.end of the row, we both want to perform better than each other.

:33:16. > :33:21.We've got a good relationship going on there. A lot of people think

:33:21. > :33:29.he's arrogant and full of himself, but when you get to know the guy,

:33:29. > :33:39.it's more a lost in translation sort of thing. He's a great guy,

:33:39. > :33:41.

:33:41. > :33:46.he'll do anything for you. I think he's a magnificent player. If you

:33:46. > :33:53.see him all around Europe and everything, he's done great stuff.

:33:53. > :33:59.Yeah, great respect for the guy. He's learning. He's on the circuit.

:33:59. > :34:06.Fantastic results. He's doing well. When we play together, we're

:34:06. > :34:12.friends. On stage, we cannot be friends unfortunately, so he won't

:34:12. > :34:20.interrupt my game. I've played him a few times on the circuit and come

:34:20. > :34:24.off good all the time. Never lost to Kist until last year. I'll never

:34:24. > :34:28.say I've never lost to him before, of course I have, but not when it

:34:28. > :34:32.matters. It will be a tough game, a proper darts match, that's for sure.

:34:32. > :34:42.I just want to get in there and hopefully kick his ass. But that's

:34:42. > :34:45.

:34:45. > :34:55.what he wants to do as well, so we'll see what happens.

:34:55. > :34:55.

:34:55. > :36:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:36:25. > :36:35.levelled it. It was the close call everyone thought it would be. We'll

:36:35. > :36:35.

:36:35. > :36:39.join it at the fifth set -- Harms. He had lolts of chances to make it

:36:40. > :36:46.3-1 -- lots of chances. Instead, it's two apiece. You would think

:36:46. > :36:56.that would put the momentum back with Wesley Arms. He win this is

:36:56. > :36:56.

:36:56. > :37:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:37:39. > :37:49.leg, he'll be ahead for the first one from Norris. What a good round

:37:49. > :38:04.

:38:04. > :38:14.this is. It's there again. Another leg in the fifth set. Excellent

:38:14. > :38:18.pressure applied on Wesley Harms as he goes for double four. Missed it

:38:18. > :38:28.a few times in the Gateshead four in the last leg. But he's hit it to

:38:28. > :38:28.

:38:28. > :39:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:39:36. > :39:41.take the lead for the first time in and decides to go the other way.

:39:41. > :39:51.very idiosyncratic way. That's what I was going to say! I would have

:39:51. > :39:51.

:39:51. > :40:01.said it earlier if I knew what it meant!

:40:01. > :40:01.

:40:01. > :40:11.Harms comes to the board requiring 80. Treble 20. Double ten. One to

:40:11. > :40:24.

:40:24. > :40:34.himself 100 if he's back. wouldn't think so. Three darts for

:40:34. > :40:56.

:40:56. > :41:06.that Wesley Harms has won. He had a run against David. Against Rune

:41:06. > :41:06.

:41:06. > :42:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:42:19. > :42:25.Norris's eighth of the game. Harms Relief as well as a double for Alan

:42:25. > :42:35.Norris. Next set. Game on. Next set. Still got problems. Has to win this

:42:35. > :42:54.

:42:54. > :43:02.Wesley Harms. One more leg to go 3- played Dean Winstanley and trailed

:43:02. > :43:08.3-1 and came back to win it 4-3. So he knows that very few positions

:43:08. > :43:14.are insurmountable for him. A little bit frustrated that it's

:43:14. > :43:24.proven to be more difficult than he anticipated at that point. Got his

:43:24. > :44:01.

:44:01. > :44:11.second wind. Just a fraction is all tie it up at 2-2 and he's bust.

:44:11. > :44:32.

:44:32. > :44:42.Just the wrong side and a chance way. Wesley Harms lost the fly and

:44:42. > :45:20.

:45:20. > :45:30.2-0 down. We know the quality now of this young man. From the

:45:30. > :45:39.

:45:39. > :45:49.where to be seen here. They have got the night off, those two. It is

:45:49. > :45:49.

:45:49. > :47:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:47:38. > :47:48.the other five doing the work for successive 100s for Alan Norris in

:47:48. > :49:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:49:02. > :49:12.becoming slim and slimmer. This is could well go all the waves. I

:49:12. > :49:12.

:49:12. > :50:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:50:08. > :50:18.think Alan wants to finish it now - opportunity. Although Harms is on a

:50:18. > :50:18.

:50:18. > :51:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:51:12. > :51:22.that he did. Harms Having three shots at a double which would have

:51:22. > :51:32.taken him within one leg of victory. As it is, Norris is still in there

:51:32. > :52:07.

:52:07. > :52:17.way, personally. Very little between the pair of them all the

:52:17. > :52:41.

:52:42. > :52:51.way through. Allen has given that he hits a double 16. -- for

:52:52. > :53:26.

:53:26. > :53:33.Alan Norris. No score. A he's after the 7th so the winner of this

:53:33. > :53:37.one, it has been a great tussle from both players. They are close

:53:37. > :53:47.mates. It has been a close encounter. We are into the deciding

:53:47. > :54:10.

:54:10. > :54:19.with Dean Winstanley a year ago big scores are coming from these

:54:19. > :54:29.two. Another one! This is a brilliant leg. Four big scores in

:54:29. > :54:53.

:54:53. > :55:03.five visits to the oche. What can he had to get an 11 dart finish.

:55:03. > :55:03.

:55:03. > :56:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:56:53. > :57:03.This is brilliant. And he has that treble. Harms has taken 147.

:57:03. > :57:30.

:57:30. > :57:40.3-3, 1-1, final set! Just as Harms thought he had got the advantage,

:57:40. > :57:40.

:57:40. > :58:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:58:34. > :58:40.Alan Norris. These two going through the full gamut of emotions.

:58:40. > :58:50.They have had that many it fight backs, you think you can't survive.

:58:50. > :59:23.

:59:23. > :59:28.You think it would have been over break back. Double 16. Yes! Some of

:59:28. > :59:34.his finishing has been nervous. And Wesley Harms now knows that all he

:59:34. > :59:38.has to do is hold his throw and he is through to the quarter-finals

:59:39. > :59:45.for a second successive year. I say all he has got to do, because

:59:45. > :59:55.neither player has been able to hold his throw so far in this set.

:59:55. > :59:55.

:59:55. > :00:00.If you were picking a winner, I think a two dart advantage would go

:00:00. > :00:05.to Harms. He kicked up absolutely brilliant and took the first couple

:00:05. > :00:15.of sets. He has fought back. And now in charge of taking the match

:00:15. > :00:26.

:00:26. > :00:31.sitting next to Wesley's partner, Mica. Another example of the

:00:31. > :00:37.wonderful camaraderie all around the tour. Make no mistake though,

:00:37. > :00:46.these two boys are gunning for each other. The families as well. They

:00:46. > :00:56.all get involved. That is enough. He knows it. Mica knows it. Good

:00:56. > :00:56.

:00:56. > :01:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:01:37. > :01:47.Harms. Treble 10 20, single 12, Can't finish now. It's all down the

:01:47. > :01:49.

:01:49. > :01:53.Harms -- down to Harms. Double eight. That's the one. Set eight,

:01:53. > :01:58.Wesley Harms. Brilliant. What a match. Most enjoyable one so far,

:01:58. > :02:05.in my opinion. It's been great. It's been a battle. But, Wesley

:02:05. > :02:09.Harms, you've done yourself proud. Harms through to the quarter-finals

:02:09. > :02:13.Bobby, closer than we thought. Splitting the four sets, ultimately

:02:13. > :02:17.I was right and you were wrong with your prediction. Thank you. Harms

:02:17. > :02:23.did the doubles when he needed to which was the difference? You have

:02:23. > :02:26.got to score to get to the double. But you have to get your double.

:02:26. > :02:33.But you have to get your double. He's hitting them under pressure.

:02:33. > :02:40.The 140s, the 180s, is that like someone who can get into position,

:02:40. > :02:43.but then you lose your bottle when you get to goal? Yes. Yesterday,

:02:43. > :02:47.Steve Douglas gave us a workshop on how to follow through when you

:02:47. > :02:50.throw a dart because a lot of amateur dart players will stab it

:02:51. > :02:55.like me. Now I've been following through, this part of my arm's very

:02:55. > :03:01.sore? It's the use, you have to do it all the time. So that's a sign

:03:01. > :03:05.I'm doing it well? Yes. We'll talk about doubles now for those at home

:03:05. > :03:10.picking up The Game. 16s prefer the double, there is a scientific

:03:10. > :03:15.reason for that, it gives you more options, doesn't it? If you go for

:03:15. > :03:20.a double 16 and hit the 16, OK, then you've got another chance, you

:03:20. > :03:23.can go for the double eight, you hit the double eight, OK, you are

:03:23. > :03:27.not in trouble, got another dart left. You have got the four left?

:03:27. > :03:32.Yes, you hit the double four so next time you have double two.

:03:32. > :03:36.two and then one, so there's five possibilities there? Yes. There's

:03:36. > :03:42.no other place on the dartboard allows you to do that? No. So if

:03:42. > :03:48.you are better at hitting double 18? A lot of players if they hit a

:03:48. > :03:52.double, they hit 18, that's good if you hilt it every time. If you

:03:52. > :03:57.don't hit it, that means double nine next. It's a one-dart. Two

:03:57. > :04:01.darts in your hand. If you had a single nine, you need a nine and

:04:01. > :04:07.that's not a finish. You are in trouble. Go get your darts out of

:04:07. > :04:14.the board, that's very rude of you! We have dinner every night, I'll

:04:14. > :04:19.throw first, you throw second, lowest score pays for dinner.

:04:19. > :04:26.Lowest score? Yes. Whoifr gets the best score. I'll buy you dinner if

:04:26. > :04:34.you get the best score. Three darts each, Bobby. OK. -- whoever gets

:04:34. > :04:44.the best score. That's a one, that's a tw. Oh no,! -- two.

:04:44. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:50.worst dart was my best. 38 in total. Was it 38? Yes. Five. Oh! What's

:04:50. > :04:58.that? He went for the bull to take it. Bobby's buying dinner tonight!

:04:58. > :05:08.Come on! Get in! Right, after dinner, he's going to go see his

:05:08. > :05:09.

:05:09. > :05:19.son play in the Lakeside game. Let's remind everyone of what is to

:05:19. > :05:47.

:05:47. > :05:54.One more game to bring you from the action last night in the top half

:05:54. > :06:04.of the draw. Darryl Fitton against Stephen Bunting. Bunting is hoping

:06:04. > :06:05.

:06:05. > :06:10.for a Lakeside babyboom. The first set I feel like I come out firing

:06:10. > :06:14.on all cylinders and my doubles, I think I had a 50% check out success

:06:14. > :06:23.rate so as long as I keep my doubles up like that, I should be

:06:23. > :06:33.OK. I knew it would be a tough match. He's a fantastic player and

:06:33. > :06:41.

:06:41. > :06:47.a really nice friend as well. I've Let me introduce you to the young

:06:47. > :06:57.Bullet, baby Bunting, Toby, as you can see, he's taking after his dad

:06:57. > :07:02.

:07:02. > :07:07.I've missed him. I haven't seen him for a few days so I'm going to go

:07:07. > :07:13.for a walk around the park so we can relax and have a little bit of

:07:13. > :07:16.a laugh. It just gives you that bit more lift I think. You always worry

:07:16. > :07:20.about your children when they're not here and obviously, with him

:07:20. > :07:26.being here, I can keep a little bit of an eye on him. I'll sit there

:07:26. > :07:36.and he'll be watching me practise and then I'll sit him in front of

:07:36. > :07:41.the telly for tonight's match. I'll just come up and play the board.

:07:41. > :07:46.Darryl's quite slow and he's always very methodical really so you know

:07:46. > :07:49.what to expect from him. I don't think Darryl will complain. We all

:07:50. > :07:54.want to be world champion. As soon as you are up on that stage,

:07:54. > :07:58.everyone just wants to win. It's going to be tough, but as long as

:07:58. > :08:04.you get the win at the end of it, it doesn't matter. Then cow come

:08:04. > :08:10.off stage and have a drink at the bar, you are frepbtdz again. --

:08:10. > :08:20.friends again. It's England v England. Lakeside,

:10:31. > :10:35.enough and he won't need to practise them because he'll get

:10:49. > :10:58.Wilson and 67%. That's the heavy scoring he's talking about. Follows

:12:59. > :13:09.was like this in his tie against van de Pas. He's coming down,

:13:09. > :13:09.

:13:09. > :14:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:14:08. > :14:18.A bit nervey. At the fourth time of asking in that leg, still he knew

:14:18. > :14:25.

:14:25. > :14:35.to plan for both players. All seven legs we have seen so far going with

:14:35. > :14:36.

:14:36. > :14:41.the darts. Who will be able to effect that crucial break? 180!

:14:41. > :14:51.Amazing how many times he does that. When that second one is landed, the

:14:51. > :14:53.

:14:53. > :15:01.third one's a quick fire, bangs it straight in to follow. Here he goes

:15:01. > :15:07.again. Forgot far away. Looks like another leg with the darts. Stephen

:15:07. > :15:17.did say if he's not 2-0 up after the first two sets, he'll be a

:17:15. > :17:22.such that when he has had the darts, Darryl has not really, except for

:18:01. > :18:11.deciding leg. And it never in doubt! -- and it was never in

:18:11. > :18:30.

:18:30. > :18:40.that Stephen would win this particular leg. He has won four out

:18:40. > :19:15.

:19:15. > :19:22.of four. Darryl is a bit cross with 60 and he followed that with a

:19:22. > :19:32.maximum and a 140. He has firmly shut the curtains on that glimmer

:19:32. > :20:00.

:20:00. > :20:05.deciding leg of a set. Very good composure to find that treble 20

:20:05. > :20:11.with his last dart and to leave himself on a finish but is that

:20:11. > :20:21.academic? It is! We are all square at Lakeside. This one is bubbling

:22:43. > :22:47.

:22:47. > :22:53.fantastic from Stephen Bunting. The biggest one because you have to go

:22:53. > :23:03.all the way around the board, treble 20, treble 19 and the

:23:03. > :23:25.

:23:25. > :23:31.taken Stephen over 100 with the averages. Darryl's highest Lakeside

:23:31. > :23:41.average is 100.7, achieved against Darren Robson in the second round

:26:03. > :26:09.What a treat these two are serving that Daddy has gone hunting and

:26:09. > :26:15.everything around the treble 20 at the moment is sticking. He has hit

:26:15. > :26:21.his last four doubles. This is very ominous for the rest of the field.

:26:21. > :26:26.Particularly for Darryl Fitton at the moment. Why is he top seed? In

:26:27. > :26:36.2012 he won the Welsh Classic, the granite city open, the Sun Parks

:26:37. > :26:50.

:26:50. > :27:00.you can see. Not on a finish. Darryl with the luxury of six darts

:27:00. > :27:00.

:27:00. > :28:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:28:00. > :28:06.to get himself on the board in this set, when he missed them, academic

:28:15. > :28:25.because when Stephen has had the high-scoring, he has followed it up

:28:35. > :28:40.

:28:40. > :28:50.We are midway through the third set. Seven out of 10 is something very,

:28:50. > :28:50.

:28:50. > :29:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:29:56. > :30:03.could be academic. For the set... It would have put it back to 2-2 in

:30:03. > :30:13.this third set. Meanwhile, Stephen Mrs double 10, hits double five and

:30:13. > :30:14.

:30:14. > :30:22.takes an lead instead. -- takes the lead instead. Great darts. But

:30:22. > :30:32.Stephen Bunting has won the set against the throw. And when they

:30:32. > :30:42.

:30:42. > :30:45.are throwing this well, the throw ride out the storm, to stick around.

:30:45. > :30:55.He was not far away from that double top and that would have been

:30:55. > :31:03.

:31:03. > :31:13.sensational. That could have been a and admire the darts both men are

:31:13. > :31:26.

:31:26. > :31:36.won the Masters and followed it up with a Lakeside Championship win.

:31:36. > :31:49.

:31:49. > :31:55.He'd be in very good company if he buzzing. Magnificent demonstration

:31:55. > :32:05.of finishing from the number one seed. Another 12 dart leg. His

:32:05. > :32:43.

:32:43. > :32:50.when he played van de Pas. Needs win three of the remaining four, as

:32:50. > :33:00.opposed to both of the remaining two. This is the way he needs to do

:33:00. > :33:05.

:33:05. > :33:15.it. 180! Number Ten of the match! Darryl's fourth, Steven's had six.

:33:15. > :33:53.

:33:53. > :34:03.-- Stephen. This would be nice but Fitton second leg. Stephen to throw

:34:03. > :34:10.

:34:10. > :34:14.last year. A couple of years ago well beaten to Dean Stanley. The

:34:14. > :34:20.first time in five attempts he progressed beyond round two. He's

:34:20. > :34:30.lot to Ted Hankey and Tony O'Shea at this stage in previous years.

:34:30. > :34:40.

:34:40. > :34:50.start like he has, to start like a Bullet. He's just going to keep

:34:50. > :34:54.

:34:54. > :35:04.a barrage of hitting that Steve has produced so far in this match would

:35:04. > :35:33.

:35:33. > :35:36.have struggled, gone to pieces. Not there to leave himself double top.

:35:36. > :35:45.Not applying as much pressure as he would have liked to have done,

:35:45. > :35:48.Darryl. Stephen Bunting. Darryl to throw first in the fourth leg. Game

:35:48. > :35:56.on. In the last six legs that Stephen Bunting's won, he's only

:35:56. > :36:06.missed a double in one of them. Predator instincts and high scoring,

:36:06. > :36:30.

:36:30. > :36:39.This is a treat to watch. Absolutely. We have been eulogising

:36:39. > :36:49.about Stephen Bunting scoring, but Darryl's what, three behind him.

:36:49. > :36:49.

:36:49. > :36:59.Hanging in there. Only lost one leg with a dart so far. Here he goes.

:36:59. > :37:20.

:37:20. > :37:30.five he needs to level the set. A very rare, very loose one. This

:37:30. > :37:57.

:37:57. > :38:06.punished. Double top. Two darts for a 3-1 lead. Misses with the first

:38:06. > :38:15.and the second. Well, well, well. The chance Darryl didn't think he

:38:15. > :38:25.would get. Is he going to go three double one again or one double two?

:38:25. > :38:31.

:38:31. > :38:36.He's three again. For double one. Must hit it. Yes, he does hit it!

:38:36. > :38:42.Fe fen now to throw first. We are into a deciding leg. Under way

:38:42. > :38:52.already. How good is this?! Stephen now to throw first. In the context

:38:52. > :39:30.

:39:30. > :39:40.of this match, this is a chance jammed closed on a subsequent visit.

:39:40. > :39:53.

:39:54. > :40:00.Fitton with his next seven or eight darts could be the difference

:40:00. > :40:07.between a 2-2 or a 3-1 dech sit going into the next break --

:40:07. > :40:17.deficit. We are about half way through this deciding leg. This is

:40:17. > :40:19.

:40:19. > :40:29.where it gets saucy. He's on a finish. But, one 40 here -- 140

:40:29. > :40:29.

:40:29. > :41:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:41:20. > :41:26.20 for tops. Oh! What was that, Fitton. The crowd sense it. Just a

:41:26. > :41:36.moment to compose himself. This is a crucial trip to the oche. That is

:41:36. > :41:38.

:41:38. > :41:44.the end of that potentially for this set forfeit Fitton now. After

:41:44. > :41:52.Stephen making another mistake around the 20s again. Good markers.

:41:52. > :42:00.Dramatic last one. He has missed it. Well, well, well. Three darts at

:42:00. > :42:10.double top. Here we go. Here we go. Darryl Fitton to level the match,

:42:10. > :42:15.

:42:15. > :42:21.double 18. Yes, he's done it! Can you believe this match of darts?

:42:21. > :42:25.Stephen Bunting five darts to lead 3-1 missed the double top but

:42:25. > :42:29.Fitton hit a double one and a double 18, his first break of throw

:42:29. > :42:38.and we are still no closer to knowing who is going to be going

:42:38. > :42:46.through to the finals, two sets apiece. It's the first to four.

:42:46. > :42:56.He's averaging 95, has hit three 12 dart legs, a 167 checkout and he's

:42:56. > :43:10.

:43:10. > :43:16.not winning. Stephen Bunting must was back on 306 with three darts to

:43:16. > :43:22.go. He had the presence of mind to go for 19 with his first dart, hit

:43:22. > :43:32.the two treble 20s which left himself on a finish of 167 and then

:43:32. > :43:58.

:43:58. > :44:08.he took it out. Amazing. How much two. Doesn't go for the bull, goes

:44:08. > :44:37.

:44:37. > :44:41.five now. Yes. He needed that with Bunting lurking. Three legs in a

:44:41. > :44:45.row now that Darryl Fitton has taken. He's been in the top five

:44:45. > :44:51.seeds on three previous occasions, Darryl. He's the lowest ranked of

:44:51. > :44:55.the 16 seeds this time around as he played Lakeside for an 11th

:44:55. > :45:00.consecutive year. Another man who's not had luck with the draw. Lost

:45:00. > :45:10.out to an eventual finalist on six occasions in a seven-year spell,

:45:10. > :45:11.

:45:11. > :45:21.including twice in the first round. Is this an opening? In the context

:45:21. > :45:21.

:45:21. > :46:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:46:02. > :46:12.first leg back from a break his own little bit of a slow one. The need

:48:11. > :48:21.week. Her fourth successive leg for Darryl Fitton. Now he has found two

:48:21. > :48:53.

:48:53. > :49:03.but then it falls away. Darryl much more consistent. Only averaging 89

:49:03. > :49:25.

:50:25. > :50:35.treble 20, otherwise he would have given away all the advantage built

:50:59. > :51:09.frustrated that he did not hit a treble last time because it means

:51:09. > :51:37.

:51:38. > :51:47.little bit of a chance. 96 to take the set, it can be done in two

:51:48. > :52:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:52:57. > :53:03.Fitton steals it with a double 18! Darryl Fitton, 23 years his senior.

:53:03. > :53:07.Bunting needed to win the last two sets in his first round tie against

:53:07. > :53:17.Jamie Wilson and managed it. He is in the same position here against

:53:17. > :53:35.

:53:35. > :53:45.Darryl Fitton. And the scores keep Annabella 180 to underline the

:53:45. > :54:02.

:54:02. > :54:12.point! -- another! Red score means has thrown some terrific stuff this

:54:12. > :54:29.

:54:29. > :54:37.leg, but Fitton is 41 points away position that all he has to do is

:54:37. > :54:47.hold his throw and he has won the match. What a way to start! Almost

:54:47. > :55:13.

:55:13. > :55:23.Bunting has had the throw, he has an 11-dart leg. Bunting needs to

:55:23. > :55:43.

:55:43. > :55:53.take advantage. There are not many lost that semi-final, I threw my

:55:53. > :56:24.

:56:24. > :56:30.best darts but Fordham's came from the No. 1 seed... -- a leg. He is

:56:30. > :56:39.one leg away now! It looked as though he was dead and buried but

:56:39. > :56:43.now, there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is a Dazzler!

:56:43. > :56:53.has only thrown 25 darts this set and he has only needed to, they had

:56:53. > :56:53.

:56:53. > :57:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:57:42. > :57:48.been that good. He means it, One of the most vociferous

:57:58. > :58:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:58:40. > :58:45.Stephen will be back. It really has from Stockport, twice the semi-

:58:45. > :58:49.finalists, with the problems he has had Abba Lakeside in the last three

:58:49. > :58:53.years you would have been forgiven for thinking his chance had gone,

:58:53. > :59:02.but he is in the zone and he might be in the quarter-finals in three

:59:09. > :59:19.125. He will make the does allow work for it and no mistake. Another

:59:19. > :00:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 107 seconds

:00:19. > :00:23.treble 20, and another! Take That, real pressure here. Great pressure.

:00:23. > :00:32.Frustrated with himself about that last dart. Darryl's got three in

:00:32. > :00:41.his hand for the match. Treble 20 he's looking at. And again, Stephen

:00:41. > :00:51.Bunting now has a chance potentially with two darts to stay

:00:51. > :01:17.

:01:17. > :01:27.finals, Darryl Fitton. Can he find double 14 to beat the top seed? He

:01:27. > :01:33.

:01:33. > :01:36.can! He's done it. The top seed goes out. What a match! He's

:01:36. > :01:43.continued his amazing record and the Lakeside problem for the big

:01:43. > :01:50.boys continues as the number one seed is eliminated. The Bullet

:01:50. > :01:53.firing blanks, Fitton, brilliantly makes it through. Darryl, fresh

:01:53. > :01:57.from making a fool of himself tripping in the oche. That was

:01:57. > :02:05.about the only foot you set wrong. about the only foot you set wrong.

:02:05. > :02:12.Yes. I want to take you right back to the first time we saw you

:02:12. > :02:16.mouthing the words to your song? Stephen's a really good friend.

:02:16. > :02:22.Sometimes it's like I've got no respect for the person if I do it,

:02:22. > :02:27.but it doesn't mean that, I just want to just focus and try a be a

:02:27. > :02:37.different person like everyone's been telling me, toughen up a bit.

:02:37. > :02:39.

:02:39. > :02:44.The key moment when Stephen Bunting missed the shot? He missed the

:02:44. > :02:50.double 20, was beat 20, then he hits 20. The best time you hit that

:02:50. > :02:55.shot in that game, it was the 136, big 20, big 20, treble 20.

:02:55. > :03:02.Bunting's going up. Three darts at double top, you think he's going to

:03:02. > :03:06.win. 3-1 down or two up if he misses. He misses, hits the double,

:03:06. > :03:12.he's level. And after that it changed The Game completely.

:03:12. > :03:15.you feel at that moment you'd weathered the stereotypical Stephen

:03:15. > :03:20.Bunting early storm which he brings to every game, he's out of the

:03:20. > :03:27.blocks so quickly? I knew I had to win one of the first two sets or

:03:27. > :03:31.The Game was over. Won the first then it relaxed me a bit, then I

:03:32. > :03:40.went down. My last treble 20 set myself up for the 136 and then with

:03:40. > :03:46.him missing it, he killed a 167 earlier on in The Game. I had a

:03:46. > :03:50.shot at a double to win that leg. I thought that was a turning point, I

:03:50. > :03:57.kept grinding him down and it was brilliant. I was watching the

:03:57. > :04:03.averages and he stormed out, even though you won the first set, you

:04:03. > :04:06.were setting about 192, 198, you literally crossed paths though, it

:04:06. > :04:10.was the perfect storm. Have you analysed that, because you got

:04:10. > :04:15.better? The differences in the averagings the first game, I

:04:15. > :04:20.started first, had more doubles, that's where the averages changed a

:04:20. > :04:24.little bit. Stephen's been awesome on his doubles but he had a blip.

:04:24. > :04:29.It's usually the opposite way, I am usually the one that can't get the

:04:29. > :04:34.doubles. He's going to be against Wesley Harms and earlier he caught

:04:34. > :04:38.up with Rob Walker. This guy proved he's not a one-hit wonder, semi-

:04:38. > :04:42.finalist this year, the quarters this year. What a match that was

:04:42. > :04:46.last night? Yes, it was a real tough game. The first two sets I've

:04:47. > :04:52.only got three legs out of it and it was with a high finish as well

:04:52. > :04:58.and I was like, he's hitting 180s for fun. I hoped during The Game

:04:58. > :05:03.that he would score less and he managed to get his scores a little

:05:03. > :05:07.more down at the end of the row. That's where I could keep up with

:05:07. > :05:12.him. You showed real character in that match? Thank you for that.

:05:12. > :05:15.you had to? Yeah. I needed to come back and I needed to play a good

:05:15. > :05:20.friend. The first time I was like, all right, don't think about it,

:05:20. > :05:25.don't think about it and go on with it and at the end of the row I did

:05:25. > :05:31.and it went well. Was it difficult though to put out of youfr mind the

:05:32. > :05:36.fact that you guys are such good friends on and off the oche -- your

:05:36. > :05:42.mind? The Game itself proved it all the way true. At the end of the row,

:05:42. > :05:45.both of us missed a lot of doubles when we needed to hit them. That's

:05:45. > :05:50.the pressure because you are playing a friend. Too much respect

:05:50. > :05:53.for each other I think. How much has the experience of last year

:05:53. > :05:57.made you more calm this time around? It's a marvellous run to

:05:57. > :06:00.the semis 12 months ago. That must have given you a lot of confidence

:06:00. > :06:06.arriving back here for your second year at Lakeside? I'm only here to

:06:06. > :06:11.prove that I'm not a one-day fly you know. So I want to make it to

:06:11. > :06:15.the semi-finals again so that's it. There's one man standing in your

:06:15. > :06:19.way, Darryl Fitton who, came through an absolutely epic match

:06:19. > :06:23.against Stephen Bunting. What are your thoughts ahead of that

:06:23. > :06:27.quarter-final? I think he played proper darts. At the end of the row,

:06:27. > :06:30.tomorrow is a different day isn't it. You are such a laid back

:06:30. > :06:34.character. Are you looking forward to the match because both of you

:06:34. > :06:38.are in great form. It will be packed again, as it always is. It

:06:38. > :06:41.will be a wonderful occasion? think the Dazzler's got the crowd

:06:41. > :06:46.behind him because he's from England, but at the end of the day,

:06:46. > :06:50.it's a game and we need to play it both, so just get the crowd out of

:06:51. > :06:54.the way, out of my mind and play the board. You are talking a good

:06:54. > :07:04.game. Enjoy it tomorrow night. It will be a wonderful, wonderful

:07:04. > :07:08.

:07:08. > :07:12.match. Hopefully it will be. Thank you. He looks a bit like Dolph

:07:12. > :07:17.Lungdren. Remember him, without going to the gym?! Relaxed and

:07:17. > :07:22.nothing to lose, never played him. Will you keep the new steely

:07:22. > :07:28.temperament, see you back in the box as One Step Beyond starts and

:07:28. > :07:31.expect you to be looking straight ahead? I don't know. See what

:07:31. > :07:38.happens. What happens to your glasses? I just toss them out in

:07:38. > :07:45.the crowd. You lose a good pair of shades? Yes, they're very expensive,

:07:45. > :07:53.cost me �1.0, I had 500 pairs made, still got 100 and odd pairs left.

:07:53. > :07:58.Can we get a pair? Nice one, free pair of glasses. Bobby? I think

:07:58. > :08:02.he'll beat him. If he plays like he did, he's going to beat anyone

:08:02. > :08:10.really. That's it guys. Thanks so much for joining us. Before we go,

:08:10. > :08:20.let us cross the Is and dot the Ts and catch up with the quarter-

:08:20. > :08:33.

:08:33. > :08:37.Stkpwhrp Robbie just has that little bit extra. O'Shea in the

:08:37. > :08:47.semi-final every day of the week for me. They've got to have the

:08:47. > :08:50.

:08:50. > :08:55.experience. That's what I'm saying. You are a big fan of Jennings. I've

:08:55. > :09:03.got to go for Jason, the only Irishman in it. What about you?

:09:03. > :09:09.I've got no choice, I get the other one. De Vos against Waites, we both

:09:09. > :09:19.think Scott? Got to go for Scotty haven't we. Tonight's games then

:09:19. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:29.we'll know the quarter-final line- Garry goes all over the shop, he

:09:29. > :09:37.hits the scores, I'll go for Garry Thompson. He has the track record.

:09:37. > :09:40.I'm inclined to agree with you. Hendriks and George are debutants,

:09:41. > :09:50.set the stage alight in their first round performances and go against

:09:51. > :09:51.

:09:52. > :09:58.each other tonight hoping to make the quarter-final.

:09:58. > :10:08.I'm quite fast. If you get in a rhythm, it could be a fast game.

:10:08. > :10:10.

:10:10. > :10:14.He's quite fast as well. I couldn't believe it. I was standing like

:10:14. > :10:18.this, like what have I done now, knocking the number two seed out,

:10:18. > :10:28.three time world champion. I felt really good. Really enjoyed The

:10:28. > :10:29.

:10:29. > :10:36.Game. Love to play on stage before the crowd. I was happy getting here,

:10:36. > :10:45.happy to be seeded. I wasn't so much pressured to win, in my eyes.

:10:45. > :10:53.I didn't care whether I won or lost, but to win it makes you more

:10:53. > :10:58.comfortable. You always get lots of attention from people who don't

:10:58. > :11:01.expect you to win. I'm not trying to be him, I'm trying to be myself

:11:01. > :11:05.and get my own character out of it. I do like to enjoy myself and have

:11:05. > :11:11.a laugh, which might be a bit of a downside to me because I can't

:11:11. > :11:21.always be serious. But yes, hopefully people like that. Bobby's

:11:21. > :11:21.

:11:21. > :11:26.son, that gives me load of pressure I think. He came and beat me so

:11:26. > :11:29.that's good for him. All the Dutch look at The Game professionally.

:11:29. > :11:34.That's what you have got to do really. You can't come here just

:11:34. > :11:37.having a laugh and joke about it. You are here to win. Last game on,

:11:37. > :11:42.everyone's warmed up. Been there a few hours starting to enjoy it.

:11:42. > :11:49.Hopefully it will be a good atmosphere and hopefully we can

:11:49. > :11:52.give them what we want. This is as good a time as any to come clean.

:11:52. > :11:56.Jimmy Hendriks is actually my son which make this is really awkward

:11:56. > :12:01.tonight now. What does your boy need to do? He's talked about being

:12:01. > :12:05.his own man, he certainly is that. What type of darts does he need to

:12:05. > :12:11.throw? He can play good darts or he wouldn't be here. He didn't play

:12:11. > :12:15.well on the stage last time and he got away with it. They're about

:12:15. > :12:22.even, both of them. They go to the tournaments, meet och other

:12:22. > :12:27.occasionally, but he's going to play his own game, don't keep 19s,

:12:27. > :12:31.18s, all that, chasing the board, play The Game as he plays and he

:12:31. > :12:35.should play very well. Both should play better because they were both

:12:35. > :12:41.making the Lakeside debuts. On the one hand, Richie put up with the

:12:41. > :12:45.talk about being Bobby George's son, as well as play a game against Dave

:12:45. > :12:51.Prins, Jimmy Hendriks had to play Wolfie Adams? They've both done

:12:51. > :12:59.well, it's a great thing for youngsters to get to the tournament

:12:59. > :13:05.and win The Game. Does the extra set help Richie? Does he prefer a

:13:05. > :13:08.seven, best of seven, as it goes on, if he gets three will he prefer the

:13:08. > :13:12.longer journey? Every dart player loves a longer race. The longer the

:13:12. > :13:16.race, when you are a good player, the better you can shine. Hendriks

:13:16. > :13:20.would like a longer race. He's only young but he'd like it. Richard

:13:20. > :13:24.likes it as well. Gives you more chance to settle down, the nerves

:13:24. > :13:28.go. New done do it on this race, you are not going to win, easy as

:13:28. > :13:33.that. Anyone who's been watching throughout today knows that Bobby

:13:33. > :13:38.has to buy me dinner now so we will head off. Back with the highlights
