:00:36. > :00:41.Hello, I am over here. Good afternoon, welcome to the private
:00:41. > :00:45.players area at the Lakeside, a very special day and there is a
:00:45. > :00:50.pro-am competition, the BDO family come together and fans get a plate
:00:50. > :00:56.with players. Wesley Harms is here, Alan Norris, much more laid-back.
:00:56. > :01:01.Are you still here? Amnesty is here, getting ready for her semi-final. -
:01:01. > :01:05.- and Nastasia. Every player getting in contact with the fans.
:01:05. > :01:09.Darryl Fitton has a quarter-final coming up but he is still getting
:01:09. > :01:14.involved. And Sharon Prins, the first time at the Lakeside, the
:01:14. > :01:17.family coming together. We have so much coming up for you but it is
:01:17. > :01:23.really all about the last four second-round games and Bobby George
:01:23. > :01:29.is here. What is in the tie today? Look at that. Do you see that?
:01:29. > :01:37.is the way to do it. I know you are the original, but you have stolen
:01:37. > :01:41.that. "That's the way to do-it-" is from Punch and Judy. The first time
:01:41. > :01:45.I wore a shirt, I had Punch on my back and he was the first cartoon
:01:45. > :01:51.character. I didn't choose Mickey Mouse, I used that and I used to
:01:51. > :01:56.say "That's the way to do it" but they told me off, the Society of
:01:56. > :02:04.Punch, because I had him around the wrong way. There is a story every
:02:04. > :02:09.day to start the show off. Hang on, if you are Kadler to punch...
:02:09. > :02:14.you are Judy. Let's see what is coming up.
:02:14. > :02:18.Richie George is aiming to make the quarter-finals. 148 years after his
:02:18. > :02:25.dad last played here. But he faced the young lad who knocked out
:02:25. > :02:32.Martin Adams, Jimmy Hendriks. Garry Thompson's difficult to draw
:02:32. > :02:36.continued as he faced the No. 7 seed, Jan Dekker.
:02:36. > :02:40.Irish qualifier Jason Cullen was hoping for a crazy night as he
:02:40. > :02:45.faced off against Hartlepool's Paul Jennings.
:02:45. > :02:51.Kurtz divorce was trying to prolong his sake, not just himself but his
:02:51. > :02:55.wacky band of fans. But he would have to beat the favourite for the
:02:55. > :03:00.title, the one and only Scott Waites, in round two. And that is
:03:00. > :03:04.the game we are going to start with. They queue for tuning in, we are
:03:04. > :03:14.going to concentrate not on Scott Waites, but instead, Lakeside's
:03:14. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:26.most famous Belgians, who is? the Boss. Incorrect, it is Jackie.
:03:26. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:47.It is amazing what I'm seeing here. All of the Belgian players. But the
:03:47. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:05.one I want to see here on that Game and the third set, kit the
:04:05. > :04:15.Boss. I have known him for about 10 years. We played in the same team.
:04:15. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:27.He was the better player and he's a very good player. I was captain and
:04:27. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:42.I fell down from the 4th floor. It was almost finished with me. The
:04:42. > :04:46.
:04:46. > :04:55.vicar came to me. Am very lucky to be here.. After I did it, I looked
:04:55. > :05:05.at myself at home and sometimes, it is a little bit of embarrassment.
:05:05. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:24.But it is a crazy game, darts. and the match, Geert De Vos. I am a
:05:24. > :05:34.player and a coach and I know when a player is very good, but he is so
:05:34. > :05:40.
:05:40. > :05:50.good, I promise you. He will go on. It is fun. Life is not some time so
:05:50. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:08.fun, but this is really fun and I took the first set but we've joined
:06:08. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:42.have a shot at a double at all. He had a couple of decent checkout
:06:42. > :06:52.against Tony Eccles, he hit 116 and the 100. The first outshot that
:06:52. > :07:25.
:07:25. > :07:33.Scott Waites had in his first round knocked out stay to be part of the
:07:33. > :07:38.Lakeside experience and Chirac fellow comrades. -- cheer on.
:07:38. > :07:48.Martin Atkins we saw there. Yes, big Buddies, they both play for the
:07:48. > :07:48.
:07:48. > :08:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:08:59. > :09:05.the ball 10 once in three attempts that leg, but he has ended up
:09:05. > :09:15.losing it to the Belgian. He is against the darts here. Could be up
:09:15. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:53.against, but not with those first the Boss. That is the English
:09:53. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :12:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:12:45. > :12:49.pay their money for. It is starting He has yet to get going. He did
:12:49. > :12:53.much after -- much better after the break in his match against Tony
:12:53. > :13:03.Eccles, but the problem is when you are playing against Scott Waites,
:13:03. > :13:04.
:13:04. > :14:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:14:21. > :14:31.you can't afford to be throwing 2-0 biker said, slipped up and Geert de
:14:31. > :14:34.
:14:34. > :14:40.Vos has a chance to move in. -- but three legs and at that point, Geert
:14:40. > :14:45.de Vos hadn't had a shot at the double. In the second set, Geert de
:14:45. > :14:50.Vos has it three out of six and Scott Waites has hit zero out of 10.
:14:50. > :15:00.Just when he thought he had the fox on the run, it is all square.
:15:00. > :15:00.
:15:00. > :16:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:16:01. > :16:11.out this week. He did not need one against Willy van de Wiel. He was
:16:11. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:38.He could finish 16 or the eight. Double 16. There are tears. Geert
:16:38. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:46.De Vos will be kicking himself, he should have scored. The double
:16:46. > :16:50.trouble that Scott Waites had has transferred to Geert De Vos, he
:16:50. > :17:00.missed double 185 times. Scott Waites hated the first time of
:17:00. > :17:00.
:17:00. > :17:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:17:57. > :18:07.maximum. As it stands, Scott Waites cannot get out. He dropped it. He
:18:07. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:37.has not been good for him so far. 82 for Geert De Vos. He went for
:18:37. > :18:47.the bull's-eye. Well, you cannot afford to miss the big ones. Double
:18:47. > :19:04.
:19:04. > :19:09.top for Scott Waites. He has three the tournament favourite. He hits
:19:09. > :19:14.the single one, which means he cannot finish with this last dart.
:19:14. > :19:22.It has not been a master class of finishing in the last two or three
:19:22. > :19:32.minutes. 554 Scott Waites. Game, shot and the second leg, Scott
:19:32. > :19:33.
:19:33. > :23:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:23:22. > :23:32.shot and the third leg, Geert De Waites. Scott Waites takes the
:23:32. > :23:37.
:23:37. > :23:47.Leeds bin sets. -- lead in sets. His large is checkout of the week.
:23:47. > :23:47.
:23:47. > :25:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:25:54. > :25:59.he is playing the board, he has final of the Grand Slam of dart
:25:59. > :26:09.this year, he lost to the final list. He beat Phil Taylor in an
:26:09. > :26:12.
:26:13. > :26:21.earlier round. He has 13 ranking titles. Lakeside is the one that
:26:21. > :26:31.has eluded him. Good form late in the tournament has eluded him.
:26:31. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:20.opportunity here. Two treble 20s. Another one, double 18... Unlucky.
:27:20. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :28:01.He smiles. Will he be punished? The Vos. The legend. Sid Waddell was a
:28:01. > :28:20.
:28:20. > :28:30.true legend. He is certainly here and Irene. -- a big darts fan. This
:28:30. > :28:30.
:28:30. > :29:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:29:59. > :30:09.at times. A glimmer of hope for the he is losing confidence. Six Miss
:30:09. > :30:10.
:30:10. > :30:20.darts on a double in this leg alone. 26 missed in total. Game, shop and
:30:20. > :30:47.
:30:47. > :30:54.gave away. So on we go, a chance got to hit the doubles as well. --
:30:54. > :30:57.all night. That is borne out by the fact that the six legs that Geert
:30:57. > :31:07.has won, Scott Waites has had doubles in five of them but he is
:31:07. > :31:29.
:31:29. > :31:39.only hitting every 5th double at darts is 109, Scott Waites -- his
:31:39. > :31:39.
:31:39. > :32:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:32:31. > :32:40.Hicks double 12. And he takes us into a deciding leg in this 4th set.
:32:40. > :32:44.This leg is the difference between a 3-1 lead for Scott Waites 4 2-2
:32:44. > :32:49.as the players go off for a mini- break at the end of this leg.
:32:49. > :32:54.think the way de Vos has been throwing, he deserves to go in at
:32:54. > :33:04.2-2. That would be only fair. He has really been under pressure,
:33:04. > :33:34.
:33:34. > :33:44.in conversation. -- Scott's father. That is the first time I have seen
:33:44. > :34:15.
:34:15. > :34:21.favourite. That is why the bookies think he is the man that everyone
:34:21. > :34:29.has to be to. At massive set of darts from Scott Waites, just when
:34:29. > :34:35.he needed it most. It is a 148 that takes the set and he leads 3-1.
:34:35. > :34:45.Plenty of work for Geert de Vos to do, trailing 3-1 as we start the
:34:45. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:25.5th set. And Scotty has been is a long time since we have had
:35:25. > :35:25.
:35:25. > :36:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:36:53. > :37:03.again. Creeping ever closer, his Scott Waites. Just two legs away. -
:37:03. > :37:34.
:37:34. > :37:43.the speed of the players. And that there. I tell you something, the
:37:43. > :37:53.bloke in the dark blue week, that is a vast improvement, I have no
:37:53. > :38:25.
:38:25. > :38:35.travel one, that was unfortunate. Every chance their of Scotty
:38:35. > :39:05.
:39:05. > :39:15.brilliantly by Scott Waites and he is only one leg away -- also the
:39:15. > :39:20.
:39:20. > :39:24.target. He has, that was no Macro - victory, the Scott Waites. Geert
:39:24. > :39:34.with only 60 points in that first row. So he has already lost his
:39:34. > :39:49.
:39:49. > :39:59.would think. He was hoping to be up and down again tonight, especially
:39:59. > :39:59.
:39:59. > :41:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:41:29. > :41:38.really in a position to be able to all over. Absolute perfect match
:41:39. > :41:44.for Scott Waites. He has got past COLIN MURRAY: I am really happy
:41:44. > :41:52.that Scott went through, but I will miss Jackie, last night in the bar,
:41:52. > :41:57.he was "I will see you later". gave me a kiss. Thank God I went to
:41:57. > :42:02.bed at that stage. They are a lot of fans who like their Lakeside as
:42:02. > :42:08.much as they players. There is a deft touch girl who is here for the
:42:08. > :42:15.first time ever. Yes, she used to have a sequinned top, I haven't
:42:15. > :42:19.seen her this year. And you had the Bobby George army. Yes, I used to
:42:19. > :42:25.have all the girls dress up. The booby girls, they used to call it.
:42:25. > :42:31.OK, we will move on from that. I am a little bit worried about Scott
:42:31. > :42:40.Waites. He is through. But here's a guy who is the genuine article and
:42:40. > :42:43.he can hold his own against anyone. You have seen in this year, so why
:42:43. > :42:48.when he gets up to the doubles...? when he gets up to the doubles...?
:42:48. > :42:53.Have a look at this. There is the proof right there. His first nine
:42:53. > :43:03.averages 105, but it is not unusual to see Scott Waites on other stages
:43:03. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:07.average over 100, but he is down under 90 a gay. -- again. But he
:43:07. > :43:09.has the game are to raise their game. He can raise his game and a
:43:09. > :43:14.game. He can raise his game and a lot of players get to the point
:43:14. > :43:18.where that they can't, but he can. If you do him, he comes back at you,
:43:18. > :43:24.but he doesn't seem to perform as well as it does when he plays in
:43:24. > :43:29.the PDC on this stage. A I was thinking about that, because there
:43:29. > :43:33.are talk about the different atmospheres, I have been to the
:43:33. > :43:38.Ally pally many times, and you will saying that she will chant as the
:43:38. > :43:44.players are throwing. They are still very strict about whistling
:43:44. > :43:47.when somebody throws a dark, it happens to Phil Taylor. -- baht.
:43:47. > :43:57.But when people are talking a whole time, there is not a lot of
:43:57. > :43:59.
:43:59. > :44:05.pressure. Is the silence more tense? Does it build more nerves?
:44:05. > :44:09.If you can hear behind you, you don't play so well. That is when
:44:09. > :44:12.you don't. You hear something and you are not playing well... If you
:44:12. > :44:17.are playing well, you don't care what is happening or hilly shouting
:44:17. > :44:22.out. But I don't like it when they are going for a double and somebody
:44:22. > :44:25.shouts, it is not sportsmanship. Scott is in there, we will catch up
:44:25. > :44:28.with the other three second-round games from last night but we
:44:28. > :44:34.already know two of the quarter- finals. These are happening tonight
:44:34. > :44:39.and we will have highlight some around -- at around 11 o'clock.
:44:39. > :44:43.Than at the bottom, we are entering the land of the Giants. They played
:44:43. > :44:49.in 2010 and Tony O'Shea, despite being the heavy favourite, only 1
:44:49. > :44:59.3-2. It is a lot the format tonight, Robbie Green against Tony O'Shea.
:44:59. > :45:11.
:45:11. > :45:20.Darryl Fitton des Wesley Harms, Can he find double 14? He can!
:45:20. > :45:29.have been told I am quite a nice I think this year I want to be
:45:29. > :45:35.proving to everybody that I am not a one-hit wonder. That is what I
:45:35. > :45:44.want to achieve. If you can get the crowd behind you, it is a big boost.
:45:44. > :45:48.If you have the crowd singing about you, it is fantastic. He is playing
:45:48. > :45:58.brilliant darts, I like to see him play. Hopefully I can do it better
:45:58. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:07.The electrician has found his bark. I do not really know him. The only
:46:07. > :46:17.thing I know is he said me, Tony O'Shea, should pack in playing
:46:17. > :46:20.
:46:20. > :46:30.I have not got a job any more so I can put more time into my darts. I
:46:30. > :46:31.
:46:31. > :46:39.am more relaxed at the board. The results speak for themselves.
:46:39. > :46:43.can beat him, and will keep going. I know that I can win it. We spoke
:46:44. > :46:47.to Darryl Fitton yesterday, it is always nice, but he has not been
:46:47. > :46:54.passed the first round for many years. As we keep saying, it is
:46:54. > :46:57.more dangerous, and he has the game. He has got the game. If he plays
:46:57. > :47:03.like he did in the other game, scoring heavily and finishing
:47:03. > :47:12.straight away, no messing about. 42%. That is pretty good, any
:47:12. > :47:15.player would like that. We should explain, if you hit one of the
:47:15. > :47:25.three, anything above that means you are doing it on your first
:47:25. > :47:25.
:47:25. > :47:30.visit. Lovely. He has the game to do that. If he plays like that,
:47:30. > :47:37.Wesley Harms will be in trouble. the last round, he managed and 88
:47:37. > :47:41.average, what really impressed me about Darryl Fitton when he took
:47:41. > :47:49.out Stephen Bunting is he started with an average of 89 and it got
:47:49. > :47:56.better, apart from the third set. If you start off well, you can do
:47:56. > :48:04.it as you go along. If you start off badly, you start struggling. If
:48:04. > :48:09.he can bully when he starts, he can beat him up. Talking about bullying,
:48:09. > :48:13.a quick word on Robbie Green versus Tony O'Shea? Robbie Green is
:48:13. > :48:23.playing well, to be honest. Tony O'Shea needs to put his game
:48:23. > :48:27.together. I'm looking forward to that one. We already know that
:48:27. > :48:34.Scott Waites is in there, I don't want to give anything away. The
:48:34. > :48:44.winner of this one will play again Scott Waites. Jason Cullen will
:48:44. > :48:44.
:48:44. > :49:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:49:32. > :49:42.Give a big Lakeside welcome for Keep the welcome going, from
:49:42. > :50:21.
:50:21. > :50:25.The bright side for Paul Jennings was he took a lead, so Jason Cullen
:50:25. > :50:35.has it all to do. Uncharted territory for the Irish man, we
:50:35. > :50:43.
:50:43. > :50:53.will join it at the beginning of Can this 24-year-old Irishman nine
:50:53. > :51:28.
:51:28. > :51:34.difference between these two players, that tells a story, Paul
:51:34. > :51:44.Jennings is hitting his last four darts. Jason Cullen has only got
:51:44. > :51:49.
:51:49. > :51:59.one so far. He has missed six shops if you look at the averages from
:51:59. > :52:04.
:52:04. > :52:14.their first nine darts... That his overall, but the first nine sees
:52:14. > :52:39.
:52:39. > :52:49.Jason Cullen considerably ahead. he looks at 66. He misses with the
:52:49. > :53:05.
:53:05. > :53:15.first. Letting you down at the Jennings. Second leg, Paul Jennings
:53:15. > :53:50.
:53:50. > :54:00.first nine dart out scoring Paul Jennings. If only he had hit some
:54:00. > :54:00.
:54:00. > :54:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:54:42. > :54:51.doubles. You can take the Irishman Jennings. He simply cannot miss.
:54:51. > :55:01.One leg away from leading 3-0. His last six doubles have gone in. That
:55:01. > :55:15.
:55:15. > :55:25.is why his percentage is so comparable with any of the other
:55:25. > :55:48.
:55:48. > :55:55.Andrea Jennings, the youngest of three children sitting at home.
:55:55. > :56:05.Also watching back home, Anthony, who is 16. So far, so good for the
:56:05. > :56:05.
:56:05. > :56:15.father. He has been magnificent so far. Eight of the nine legs have
:56:15. > :56:35.
:56:35. > :56:45.chance for Jason Cullen to stop the pressure. How much? Another treble
:56:45. > :56:45.
:56:45. > :56:55.really raptures it up. -- ratches. Can the stone Mason's chisel out a
:56:55. > :57:13.
:57:13. > :57:19.Paul Jennings. Devastating double play from the man from Hartlepool.
:57:19. > :57:29.In this kind of form, he could take some stopping. Seven darts in a row
:57:29. > :57:50.
:57:50. > :58:00.have hit doubles. News 3-0 up in second and third sets combined. He
:58:00. > :58:21.
:58:22. > :58:26.Lakeside, he has 40 appearances for Ireland. -- rookie. He is dealing
:58:26. > :58:32.with the pressure on the stage at Frimley Green. It has proved the

:11:12. > :11:17.saw the big letters spelling out your name, you are gathering a bit
:11:17. > :11:22.of a court following. It is nice to see, a bit of her backing in the
:11:22. > :11:26.crowd. You were happy that you have got through, but she were satisfied
:11:26. > :11:31.with the quality produce. What are your reflections today -- you were
:11:31. > :11:36.not satisfied. I have just been out for an hour's practice this morning
:11:36. > :11:40.and all I can do is concentrate on my doubles. I saw how well Paul hit

:11:54. > :11:57.am going after this. Are you starting to feel like this is
:11:57. > :12:02.turning into a really big opportunity for you? We have seen
:12:02. > :12:07.great performances from you at the Grand Slam, but as of yet, we
:12:07. > :12:10.haven't seen your magic at Lakeside. Could this be your year? It could
:12:10. > :12:14.be my year, but like you say, I be my year, but like you say, I
:12:14. > :12:21.need to start playing a little bit better. It is there and fits and
:12:21. > :12:25.spurts, but I need to get it all together and hope for a guest Paul
:12:25. > :12:29.it will all come together. Paul, let's talk about that from your
:12:29. > :12:33.perspective. But if you have only conceded one set in your matches.
:12:33. > :12:36.It could be closer in this one. could be. I just have to
:12:36. > :12:40.concentrate on my game and Scott will concentrate on his and
:12:40. > :12:45.hopefully it will be a good game. You doubles have been magic that
:12:45. > :12:49.had she need to focus on the big scores as well. -- but perhaps.
:12:49. > :12:53.know the scores are going to come. You practise all the time, so it
:12:53. > :12:59.will have fully come together. A Scot, what sort of a match are you
:12:59. > :13:05.expecting? Ashcott. It will be a genuine darts match, a decent pace.
:13:05. > :13:09.I think it will be quite a close one. Let's have a handshake, guys.
:13:09. > :13:12.The very best of luck. They are great mates off the oche, it will
:13:12. > :13:18.be a fantastic night. Now get back in the warm.
:13:18. > :13:21.Definitely! Thank you, Rob. No doubt Scott
:13:21. > :13:24.Waites will be a heavy favourite for that quarter-final but Paul
:13:24. > :13:27.Jennings has been in that situation and he knows what it is like to
:13:27. > :13:32.play in the quarter-final over that format, and you get the feeling he
:13:32. > :13:37.has more in the tank. He has got a lovely flow, at tidy player, very
:13:37. > :13:41.dangerous. He has got his work that out. Scott will have to lift his
:13:41. > :13:49.game and play more like we see him play outside of the Lakeside.
:13:49. > :13:53.a great darts player, he throws them right, but pressure, nice and
:13:53. > :13:57.straight all the time. That is the difficult thing. When a player
:13:57. > :14:02.plays the same way all the time, you have to lock your game. By last
:14:02. > :14:06.couple of days, we have been doing workshops. Steve Douglas for
:14:06. > :14:10.showing how to follow through. You were showing us a double 16 is the
:14:10. > :14:16.favourite because it Kyushu five options if you go inside the wire.
:14:16. > :14:19.-- kinship. Today is of a basic for anyone deciding to buy air
:14:19. > :14:24.dartboard or just played down the pub. It is the first thing you ever
:14:24. > :14:28.told me to do. The reason he is dressed up today, last night he
:14:28. > :14:34.thought we were doing a feature on groupies, but when not, it is on
:14:34. > :14:39.grouping. The thing is, everyone who gets a set of darts wants to
:14:39. > :14:43.hit 180 and be a champion straight away and it doesn't happen. You get
:14:43. > :14:46.that dartboard up, get it the right height and length and you throw a
:14:46. > :14:50.dark and you group for darts. You learn to group them, it doesn't
:14:50. > :14:55.matter where, as long their shoe group them together. The players at
:14:55. > :14:58.the highest level naturally remember the mechanics. If the
:14:58. > :15:03.first one is good, the second one will come off the barrel and the
:15:03. > :15:07.best players, when that first dart goes in the treble 20, that is when
:15:07. > :15:12.you get excited because if they can group properly, you will be in and
:15:12. > :15:18.around the lipstick. You must rip your darts. But don't try and score
:15:18. > :15:22.well. -- Group. Why Chu told me was thrown your first dart and no
:15:22. > :15:26.matter where it is, follow the next to -- what you told me. In your
:15:26. > :15:28.head, throw it the same. Tell your body to throw the same. Back row
:15:28. > :15:33.body to throw the same. Back row body to throw the same. Back row
:15:33. > :15:43.has parted -- darts is all to do with your head. Show me what you
:15:43. > :15:48.
:15:48. > :15:55.roughly in the same area, that is how you score. When you grip the
:15:55. > :16:02.dark, you get the big scores. important is it to relax? Sometimes
:16:02. > :16:08.when I throw my first dart, I twitch, and under pressure. It is a
:16:08. > :16:11.game of nerves, you get nervous because you do not want to lose. If
:16:11. > :16:16.you want to practise at home, you do not need to get nervous playing
:16:16. > :16:23.with your mother, you grit your darts together, half the distance,
:16:24. > :16:33.keep doing the same in your head. We are on national television, I'm
:16:34. > :16:40.
:16:40. > :16:47.sweating. So you would say you throw. Two out of three. Not at all.
:16:47. > :16:52.Been practising. Yesterday, you had to buy me dinner. You want to go
:16:52. > :17:02.again? Three darts each. Whoever gets the highest score or get their
:17:02. > :17:06.
:17:06. > :17:16.report for them. I will go first. He was so annoyed yesterday. What a
:17:16. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:29.chance! Not again! I cannot believe it. Clear the darts. Do I go down
:17:29. > :17:59.
:17:59. > :18:03.dinner tonight. Lobsters and Which? Yes. Lovely stuff, let's get back
:18:03. > :18:07.to the second round action. I am to the second round action. I am
:18:07. > :18:17.gutted. We're going to concentrate on Garry Thompson, he was taking on
:18:17. > :18:27.Jan Dekker, who knows what it is like to make the semi-final.

:27:17. > :27:21.checkout presented, but the way he is finishing them. It is like he

:58:36. > :58:45.was merited. Darryl Fitton is not one of the neutrals. What 180!
:58:45. > :58:55.Fills them up. Ninth of the match. Brilliant. Producing those darts at
:58:55. > :58:55.
:58:55. > :00:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds
:00:10. > :00:20.match. Two darts at double top for the quarter-finals. Only needs the
:00:20. > :00:26.
:00:26. > :00:36.one? Game, set and the match, Ritchie George! He moves closer to
:00:36. > :00:39.
:00:39. > :00:47.a potential domination. Ritchie I only ever talk to you with your
:00:47. > :00:52.Dad and you cannot get in word and! Weight to their a second. -- wait a
:00:52. > :00:57.second, just a couple of minutes. We can talk about the game without
:00:57. > :01:02.your Dad interrupting. When you were under pressure to hit, more
:01:02. > :01:09.often than not, you did. When Jimmy Hendriks was behind, you were
:01:09. > :01:14.missing 8, 9, 10 darts when there was no pressure and when there was,
:01:14. > :01:21.you did. When I had pressure, I hit them and when I thought I would
:01:21. > :01:29.relax and take my time, I missed them, but in 9th 8 leg and going
:01:29. > :01:34.out first, second and missing, six, at nine. I think I had 60 darts at
:01:34. > :01:38.a double and hit 15, but the scoring is coming back a bit better
:01:38. > :01:48.so hopefully I will for -- hopefully I can work on the finish
:01:48. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :02:01.you are capable of, obviously. To drive back down to 84, that is a
:02:01. > :02:03.
:02:03. > :02:12.positive problems. -- problem. 84 average, and missing those, you
:02:12. > :02:18.know you have a big chance to It looks a bad average and you can
:02:18. > :02:23.see that is what I tracked me down. But I still had chances so if I can
:02:23. > :02:30.still keep giving myself a chance, hopefully I will be all right and I
:02:30. > :02:34.will relax a bit more. You are not like this man, both pretty in your
:02:34. > :02:40.younger days. Bobby was handsome when he was young, he might not
:02:40. > :02:47.want to admit that. But there is the George showmanship, how much do
:02:47. > :02:55.you enjoy the crowd's reaction? You seem to be naturally born for it.
:02:55. > :03:01.do when I win! When you miss, do do not. You have to let it goes. It is
:03:01. > :03:09.not like me, there was a fine line, I cannot get away from it! He has
:03:09. > :03:13.to take on a popular Jan Dekker next.
:03:13. > :03:19.What a match at this guy was part of last night, what is it about you
:03:19. > :03:25.and Garry Thompson that it always goes to the wire? I think it is
:03:25. > :03:29.because I am a slow starter and I am always down. Two years ago I was
:03:29. > :03:38.40 down and I won the match. Yesterday was the same, I was
:03:38. > :03:44.three-down and I won 4-3, fantastic. When you got five or six legs, you
:03:44. > :03:49.must have thought the game was over but he managed to come back. It was
:03:49. > :03:54.ups and downs and the crowd thought he would win and everybody thought
:03:54. > :04:00.I would win, but there were ups and downs and I was the lucky one!
:04:00. > :04:03.you are part of a match that is so close, is any part of you able to
:04:03. > :04:13.enjoy the atmosphere and the tension all you focusing on every
:04:13. > :04:18.
:04:18. > :04:23.Arab? The best for me is to -- arrow. The best for me is to focus,
:04:23. > :04:29.if I see the crowd, that is not good for me. And what a way to
:04:29. > :04:35.finish, with a bull! It was fantastic. When you came off and
:04:35. > :04:43.you had been well and Orange juice, were you able to watch for a bit of
:04:43. > :04:50.Richie's match? I saw him play against my friend, Jimmy Hendriks.
:04:50. > :04:55.It was also a game with a lot of ups and downs but his scoring
:04:55. > :05:01.skills of good. I think if I took my chances, if I take my chances, I
:05:01. > :05:06.have a great opportunity to win. Are you a little bit wary of him
:05:06. > :05:10.because he is doing this year what you did two years ago? You arrive
:05:10. > :05:16.with no fear and no expectations and he is writing on the crest of a
:05:16. > :05:26.wave and he will have big support from the crowd -- a bright pink.
:05:26. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:31.is also fantastic for him. -- riding. It is his first time at
:05:31. > :05:35.Lakeside and I thought he would go out in the first round but he had
:05:35. > :05:41.good luck and you need that to go through some times. But I have to
:05:41. > :05:46.play Richie as the normal opponents. I hope I can reach at my level and
:05:46. > :05:50.I can beat him. I think you are very up for that match, good luck,
:05:50. > :06:00.and we will see you for what should be a cracker!
:06:00. > :06:05.Good luck to him, he is well-liked. Bobby, take it off at. -- offered.
:06:05. > :06:09.Last time we played him, you beat him. The last time was in December
:06:09. > :06:15.but he is playing better, he struggled for a while but he has
:06:15. > :06:19.been -- for a while but he is finishing really well. And the
:06:19. > :06:29.doubles need to go in more because he will not let him get away with
:06:29. > :06:32.
:06:32. > :06:39.it. 61 tenses at a double. That is disgusting! -- 61 darts. Son he
:06:39. > :06:43.knows he is scoring well so he is giving himself chances -- so. You
:06:44. > :06:48.have got to put them both together. The said that before, it your game
:06:48. > :06:54.against Jimmy Hendriks, you thought it would be fast, what you expect
:06:54. > :06:58.from this game? -- you said. same, he is also a fast player. I
:06:58. > :07:04.hopefully will play with more rhythm but I will not change my
:07:04. > :07:07.game. I will play at my own pace and he will do what he will do. We
:07:07. > :07:12.played each for the last month so we know how we play and hopefully
:07:12. > :07:16.it will be a good game. You can enjoy yourself tonight, not too
:07:16. > :07:21.much, and get ready for the game tomorrow. So many players do it
:07:21. > :07:25.different ways, some quarter- finalists will be part of the
:07:25. > :07:30.furniture here at Lakeside, at Scott Waites does not like to be
:07:30. > :07:35.here for the first time ever -- Scott Waites. You have good council
:07:35. > :07:41.taking you away. I go away and do my own thing and relaxed but when I
:07:41. > :07:45.am not playing, I will sit down here. You have to do what you are
:07:45. > :07:51.comfortable with. Hopefully I can prepare right and be all right for
:07:51. > :07:55.tomorrow night. The only downside of reaching the quarter-finals was
:07:55. > :07:59.that in the athlete's village, there was a shop for athletes in
:07:59. > :08:04.the Olympic village and I bought -- and Dave bought a great top and I
:08:04. > :08:11.said I would give it to you if you reached the quarter-finals. I
:08:11. > :08:15.thought it was safe. Being Bobby's boy, everybody has something they
:08:15. > :08:23.want to come to you about. Everybody comes up to you and talks
:08:23. > :08:30.to you, giving you advice. Who do you value the most? Truthfully?
:08:30. > :08:35.Colin and games at the moment. I do listen to Dad, he thinks I do not.
:08:35. > :08:40.-- James. He is still my Dad and not a lot of people listen to their
:08:40. > :08:47.Dad so you need somebody else he was part of that environment.
:08:47. > :08:54.Without him, I would not be here. That is very true, well done, Bobby.
:08:54. > :09:01.Isn't he a lovely little boy? time! I am sorry, I take up his
:09:01. > :09:11.mouth, I tried. This is the draw for the quarter-finals. These are
:09:11. > :09:22.
:09:22. > :09:26.And these are tonight's games. Darryl Fitton against Wesley Harms.
:09:26. > :09:32.Robbie Green against Tony O'Shea. We think the world of the two big
:09:33. > :09:40.men, let's find out what they think about each other.
:09:40. > :09:45.I beat my chest when I am playing well, I am I saw for back -- a
:09:45. > :09:50.silver back. There is another reason I got back gain. My nickname
:09:50. > :09:55.is Kong, one of the women from Merseyside Nick to name --
:09:55. > :09:59.nicknamed me. She had bother one time in Newcastle and I came
:09:59. > :10:09.storming in and pulled this man away from her and she said, it was
:10:09. > :10:19.like King Kong! Like ancient song is hey, babies. -- might entrance
:10:19. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :10:31.song is hey, babies. -- Hey, baby. I heard it on a jukebox in Germany.
:10:31. > :10:35.Status quo. I am not into them, it is to get the fans going. One of
:10:35. > :10:43.the first players I saw on TV was later lease and he had a lovely
:10:43. > :10:52.slow and smooth action and he was a hero. A lot of people say my throat
:10:52. > :10:57.reminds me of him -- reminds them of him. -- throw. I do not move my
:10:57. > :11:07.body much, I speed up and the game but I do not do it naturally. I
:11:07. > :11:08.
:11:09. > :11:13.have not tried to work on it. favourite is double 16, it is nice
:11:13. > :11:19.for a right-handed player and you have the get-out clause of the
:11:19. > :11:25.double eight. People who go for double 10 or 20, sometimes, that
:11:25. > :11:31.double five can be a nightmare so number 16 is my favourite. Double
:11:31. > :11:36.18, of double 16. I like to try and hit them all! When I practised
:11:36. > :11:41.before a match, I do not play a special game, I just get my
:11:41. > :11:46.shoulders loose -- I practice. I eat breakfast and that is usually
:11:46. > :11:54.the last thing I eat, that might be nerves, I do not know. Liquid
:11:54. > :12:00.refreshment in the afternoon just to loosen the arms. I have an hour
:12:00. > :12:07.or relaxing in my room and I read or watch a bit of television. Icon
:12:07. > :12:13.down and I practised -- I'd come down. I have a couple of drinks and
:12:13. > :12:19.I set off to the venue. I am trying to get a couple of hours earlier to
:12:19. > :12:26.the venue than in previous years and that seems to be working.
:12:26. > :12:30.Really looking forward to this and we will have highlights of the two
:12:31. > :12:37.semi-finals from 11:20pm tonight on BBC Two, and back tomorrow at 1pm
:12:37. > :12:43.for extended highlights of those games. Bobby, you think Robbie
:12:43. > :12:48.Green has a genuine chance. I do, he explained could, he is up for it.
:12:48. > :12:53.Tony is not playing a bad but he has not the player he used to be,
:12:53. > :12:58.it not as high scoring, so I would go for Robbie Green. We will have
:12:58. > :13:04.the best of nine, you imagine we will see at least eight when Robbie
:13:04. > :13:08.has his nose in front, Tony will come back and vice versa, it will
:13:08. > :13:14.be a tight battle. He it will be tight but I think he will have the
:13:14. > :13:19.edge, he is big but he seems to be fitter this year for some reason.
:13:19. > :13:23.must tell you back Chris Sargent and Martin Adams run a pro-am at a
:13:23. > :13:29.tournament taking place here all day. We could not play because we
