:00:39. > :00:43.Good afternoon, welcomed to the highlight of the 2013 BDO World
:00:43. > :00:47.Darts Championships and we are here in the private players area. Paul
:00:47. > :00:52.Jennings already warning that warming up for his clash against
:00:52. > :00:57.Scott Waites. Rich enjoyed playing Jan Dekker in the quarter-final
:00:57. > :01:01.tonight. These two may play each other in the semi-final tomorrow --
:01:01. > :01:08.Richie George. You never know who you might say. Trina Gulliver
:01:08. > :01:11.getting ready for her semi-final against Anastasia Dobromyslova. I
:01:11. > :01:17.am confiscating that, had used in the time? We will give it back
:01:17. > :01:24.later. -- have you seen the time. The show as always complicated by
:01:24. > :01:30.Bobby George. Let's have a look at the tie today. Double one.
:01:30. > :01:39.amateur's favourite. That is anyone dark. Well come to the madhouse,
:01:39. > :01:45.here is what is coming up. -- Tony O'Shea was looking for his 5th
:01:45. > :01:50.semi-final in six years, his epic quest continued. He faced the
:01:50. > :01:55.inform Liverpool fanatic Robbie Green, who was hoping the
:01:55. > :01:59.Silverback would catch it. Darryl Fitton was buzzing after
:01:59. > :02:07.beating Bob Dean but he now faced the man in the fingerless gloves.
:02:07. > :02:11.Wesley Harms, causing ripples this year with his darts and his words.
:02:11. > :02:15.And we will catch up with the Women's draw, including hearing
:02:15. > :02:20.from the reigning champion, Anastasia Dobromyslova.
:02:20. > :02:23.Now, is this sacrilege? One professor has changed the number
:02:23. > :02:27.order on a dartboard. We will hear his story.
:02:27. > :02:30.Are you ready to go? Let's do it. A brilliant quarter-final to start
:02:30. > :02:36.with, Wesley Harms, the Dutchman, quiet-spoken but when he says
:02:36. > :02:46.things, he has caused few ripples. He was taking on Darryl Fitton --
:02:46. > :02:47.
:02:47. > :02:52.Darryl Fitton and is hoping once When I was at school, the teacher
:02:52. > :03:02.said, "You are a complete waste of paper. He was probably right,
:03:02. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:11.looking at this. I'll put another It is a good boost for me
:03:11. > :03:15.personally, not because he is the No. 1 seed, it is because it is
:03:15. > :03:18.Stephen Bunting. I just kept putting him under pressure all the
:03:18. > :03:26.time and usually, a kid would be the other way around, he would keep
:03:26. > :03:30.battling away. My finishing was good. I know myself that if by
:03:30. > :03:40.scoring is always good, if I can get them both together, I am
:03:40. > :03:42.
:03:42. > :03:50.Now the bull's-eye. I am a buff -- Baqlah, a big scorer,
:03:50. > :03:53.quite a nice guy, so I'm told. I tell my grandchildren, don't go
:03:53. > :03:57.over the lines. I said this to Jimmy Hendriks when he was by
:03:57. > :04:00.Martin in the first day, if you get the crowd behind you, because
:04:00. > :04:05.Martin is a crowd favourite, you have got to get a bit of a level
:04:05. > :04:13.par. It is a big boost for you. Especially when the crowd is
:04:13. > :04:20.singing"There is anyone Darryl Fitton ". -- only one. A what about
:04:20. > :04:24.your opponent? I don't know was it. He did say that May, Tony, Martyn
:04:24. > :04:33.and Wolfie should pack in playing darts, because we are to all. If I
:04:33. > :04:43.can beat Wesley, I can just keep going. I know I can win it. That is
:04:43. > :04:53.me, Darryl Fitton. What do you a little bit of madness. It is the
:04:53. > :04:53.
:04:53. > :06:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:06:57. > :07:07.Dazzler. England's Darryl Fitton you all of this, because it is very
:07:07. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:14.first leg. It is Wesley to throw first, came on.
:07:14. > :07:18.-- Game On. COMMENTATOR: Always a special kind
:07:18. > :07:22.of madness when Darryl Fitton is on the Lakeside stage and he hopes to
:07:22. > :07:29.go one step beyond Wesley Harms at least. A good start for the
:07:29. > :07:33.Dutchman. This has the makings of being high-scoring, a hugely
:07:33. > :07:43.entertaining and he will be able to make it through? A great start by
:07:43. > :07:44.
:07:44. > :07:48.Darryl Fitton. 120 with a bounce out and a 140. Let's hope this days
:07:48. > :07:58.that this sort of level. Both players off so focused -- this
:07:58. > :08:14.
:08:14. > :08:19.stays that. Look at that from the himself in his first-round match,
:08:19. > :08:23.against Rune David, keeping his concentration. It was in the face
:08:23. > :08:33.of eccentricity. And he has got better, and better and better as
:08:33. > :08:43.the tournament has gone on. Three 140s to start this. Will we see an
:08:43. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:20.look at 13. Darryl Fitton's finishing has been the more
:09:20. > :09:42.
:09:43. > :09:48.impressive of the two players over lots of time for momentum to sway
:09:48. > :09:53.one thing and then the other -- one way and then the other. But if
:09:53. > :10:03.Wesley Harms keeps this up, it will be very difficult for Darryl Fitton
:10:03. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:13.to rest any momentum from him. -- Dazzler. I have been speaking to
:10:13. > :10:17.people, asking them to predict how this one might go. The common
:10:17. > :10:24.thread was said was going to be close, it will go in to eight or
:10:24. > :10:28.nine. It could go either way. Darryl is the marginal favourite
:10:28. > :10:38.with the bookmakers, despite the fact that he is the number 60
:10:38. > :10:38.
:10:38. > :11:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:11:42. > :11:52.inside -- seat. Wesley is the No. 8. Lakeside crowd last year with those
:11:52. > :12:02.fingerless gloves that he wears. He won three matches before losing 6-
:12:02. > :12:08.
:12:08. > :12:12.52 Tony O'Shea, Darryl Fitton's best mate. -- 6-5 to Tony O'Shea.
:12:12. > :12:17.Darryl Fitton has been here every year since 2005, when he lost to
:12:17. > :12:21.van Barneveld. And famously in 2009 for when he lost to his best mate,
:12:21. > :12:31.Tony O'Shea. They hate playing each other up on that stage, but both
:12:31. > :12:39.
:12:39. > :12:49.imbibing the Lakeside atmosphere just a little too much over the
:12:49. > :12:49.
:12:49. > :13:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:13:56. > :14:06.wouldn't put it past him. Not this just one dart. This is a brilliant
:14:06. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:29.down against Benito van de Pas in Harms has hit double four in this
:14:29. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:56.would have been coming up during rush-hour. What would the commuters
:14:56. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :16:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:16:29. > :16:33.Wesley Harms not on a chequered. -- darts at double 16. He lost 6 legs
:16:33. > :16:42.out of seven in that game. He also beat the top seed, Stephen Bunting,
:16:42. > :16:48.in the second round, winning nine legs out of 13. The average, 98 in
:16:48. > :16:58.the last three sets. He has started even better than that tonight. Look
:16:58. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:38.the set, treble 17 would leave the bull's-eye. Bull's-eye for Wesley
:17:38. > :17:57.
:17:57. > :18:03.Harms in the first set! Take Fat! - good as anything we have seen at
:18:03. > :18:09.Lakeside. Between them, they have hit five arid of seven darts at the
:18:09. > :18:19.double, and both have had three- figure checkouts. It has been
:18:19. > :18:19.
:18:19. > :19:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:19:42. > :19:52.magnificent and we have barely got the match. Can Wesley Harms make
:19:52. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:28.Both men have held all three because they are finishing -- the
:20:28. > :20:34.finishing has been excellent. The advantage of throwing first is only
:20:34. > :20:44.really an advantage when you hit the big scores. And they have both
:20:44. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:49.been doing that, look at that. 99 and 94.5 the averages. This sort of
:20:49. > :20:59.stand-up would grace any final. Just to put those statistics in
:20:59. > :20:59.
:20:59. > :21:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:21:52. > :21:56.perspective, we have only played as a good luck thing. But it was
:21:56. > :22:01.really a tree up on stage, under the lights. Imagine having to hold
:22:01. > :22:11.your nerve to hit a crucial double when all you want to do is scratch
:22:11. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:52.continue to call with the throw. Second leg, Wesley Harms. Third leg,
:22:52. > :22:58.Darryl to throw first, game on. Seven in a row with the throw. And
:22:58. > :23:08.here was Darryl Fitton again. Straight into the treble bread with
:23:08. > :23:08.
:23:08. > :23:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:23:57. > :24:02.this leg so far have gone in that Fitton. 180! Well, if he takes this
:24:02. > :24:12.out, under all sorts of pressure from Wesley Harms, this would be
:24:12. > :24:14.
:24:14. > :24:24.the leg of the tournament so far. Double 16 for an 11 dart leg. He
:24:24. > :24:38.
:24:38. > :24:48.that Wesley had, Darryl knew there was no margin for error. Here he
:24:48. > :25:02.
:25:02. > :25:12.with Darryl Fitton, three 140s and a maximum. Among it all, he found a
:25:12. > :25:25.
:25:25. > :25:31.double. Here comes another one, 123, which gives Darryl Fitton a
:25:31. > :25:41.chance against the darts. Another treble here it really applies the
:25:41. > :25:41.
:25:41. > :26:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:26:22. > :26:29.pressure. Wesley Harms cannot could be very significant. -- it
:26:29. > :26:36.could be a big miss, VAT. Darryl Fitton wants two 18s. He has found
:26:36. > :26:46.a marker. But he has found that double 18! This is truly awesome
:26:46. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:55.from both players. One set each. Third set, first leg, Wesley to
:26:55. > :26:59.throw first. Game on. You just hold the break has not disrupted their
:26:59. > :27:09.rhythm, because those two sets were as good as anything you will see
:27:09. > :27:21.
:27:21. > :27:26.players go when they leave the stage for a break, they head
:27:26. > :27:31.backstage, where there has a bar and other players practising, their
:27:31. > :27:41.friends and family, lots of distractions. There is a balcony if
:27:41. > :27:45.
:27:45. > :27:52.they want some fresh beer. -- fresh air next to the leg. -- League Cup.
:27:52. > :28:02.-- lake. They cannot stray too far because before long they are called
:28:02. > :28:13.
:28:13. > :28:23.back to produce darts like that! Harms knows he has six darts to
:28:23. > :29:03.
:29:03. > :29:13.but a chance now for Darryl Fitton. Three legs in a role for the
:29:13. > :29:14.
:29:14. > :29:24.Wesley Harms that he and Tony O'Shea and Martin Adams are too old
:29:24. > :29:32.
:29:32. > :29:35.for this. Really? With darts like massive poster of Christine kissed

:29:45. > :29:48.
:29:48. > :29:51.Dutch Open just after Lakeside 2012. -- as he took the Dutch Open.
:29:51. > :30:01.Comment to that effect are only going to served to motivate Darryl
:30:01. > :30:07.
:30:07. > :30:12.player when he has fire in his belly.
:30:12. > :30:17.Look at that first dart, the angle that it comes in invariably, when
:30:17. > :30:22.he has put that in, he fires the other tonight at it and will often
:30:22. > :30:32.hit a 180 from there. Not this time for him.
:30:32. > :30:42.
:30:42. > :30:52.You are aiming at the dart, rather Darryl Fitton. And he will have a
:30:52. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :32:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:32:08. > :32:18.it in the last leg, but he didn't in the match. The record is 16,
:32:18. > :32:22.
:32:22. > :32:32.from Martin Adams. If they keep board, barrel. He has got a solid

:33:49. > :33:59.base -- barrel. Wesley is taller We haven't seen that yet this match.
:33:59. > :34:00.
:34:00. > :34:10.opportunities, but this will be one. And if he can take it, he will move
:34:10. > :34:10.
:34:10. > :34:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:34:53. > :35:03.slightly more impressive now. Not that first set. Which he lost.

:35:45. > :35:55.after that maximum from Wesley somebody called out from the floor

:36:24. > :36:30.gentlemen, please, please, please could we stop the flash photography.
:36:30. > :36:34.It does put the players off. Please give them the best respect. You saw

:36:48. > :36:54.referee, just asking. Just over his shoulder, and it does what the
:36:55. > :37:04.players off. It is the second time the referee has had to ask that the

:37:12. > :37:21.advantage of an early wobble from Wesley. A wobble didn't last long.
:37:21. > :37:31.But if Darryl Fitton can find another 140,... Which she can't. --

:37:56. > :38:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:38:52. > :38:58.leads 2-1. Still the set is going there but the man who has had the
:38:59. > :39:08.darts for the first leg of the SEC has gone on to win on all three
:39:09. > :39:25.
:39:25. > :39:32.titles in his career, dating back to the British Open in 2003. The
:39:32. > :39:42.most recent was the Polish Open of 2011. And his Lakeside record
:39:42. > :39:47.
:39:47. > :39:51.stands up to scrutiny as well, four times, so a two and the two
:39:51. > :40:01.record at this stage. On the two occasions that he lost, it was to

:42:46. > :42:50.men has been so good. So far, there have only been two legs where a

:43:00. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:14.180 from Darryl Fitton, his 7th of the match. Both of these players

:45:25. > :45:35.

:52:00. > :52:04.The first dart in the treble set that up. It gave him two glances at
:52:04. > :52:11.a double, and the way he is playing he does not any more. Talking of
:52:11. > :52:18.match play, you mentioned it, Jim, but just to reiterate, as we
:52:18. > :52:22.watched Wesley Harms get a 180, that 180 from Darryl Fitton towards
:52:22. > :52:26.the end of the last set really shook Wesley Harms. It was not the
:52:27. > :52:31.right wing to do as far as Darryl and the dartboard were concerned,
:52:31. > :52:41.but the right thing to do as far as the match on the Lakeside stage
:52:41. > :53:06.
:53:06. > :53:16.were concerned. When he saw what pun has nicked the initiative. Is

:53:49. > :53:56.far since they came back from the break. Heavy scoring, perfect
:53:56. > :54:00.finishing, and if he was frustrated he did not take a 3-1 lead, he had
:54:00. > :54:10.a dart at double six to do that, he has certainly been able to put it
:54:10. > :54:20.
:54:20. > :54:26.goes with the throw, but at 3-0 it must certainly be a huge
:54:26. > :54:29.psychological advantage to him. mentioned that in the longer game

:08:01. > :08:09.of the blocks this time. Darryl not last long. That is the No. 1
:08:10. > :08:15.seed in the ladies' game, Deta Hedman. She is here to watch number
:08:15. > :08:18.16 and No. 8 from the men's side of the draw. So far, it is the No. 8
:08:18. > :08:28.seed who looks as though he is going to make it through to the

:09:47. > :09:57.broken the throw. He has the crowd on his side, and he has fire in his
:09:57. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:17.place as well. A -- it seemed to. But it hasn't affected Darryl
:10:17. > :10:24.

:11:40. > :11:50.is there not on the finish. Well that her him? Care should will bat
:11:50. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :12:00.Harms, and a chance to break straight back, with Darryl Fitton
:12:00. > :12:10.on 165, which you can't checkout. At least he pressures the double
:12:10. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:43.top. Harms has been impervious to fearing perhaps that the No. 8 seed
:12:43. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:07.nervous double 16 against the darts, but broken back straightaway.
:13:07. > :13:09.Wesley at this stage was just two legs away from victory. There is a
:13:09. > :13:19.little are opening here for Darryl Fitton and it is an opening he must
:13:19. > :13:52.
:13:52. > :14:02.find the treble in this leg. Are we Harms has found a treble. So it is
:14:02. > :14:02.
:14:02. > :14:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:14:57. > :15:05.for the 25. He has bust. -- he has it this time. Two darts at it. And
:15:05. > :15:15.now he can't finish, on an odd number with one dart left. So Harms,
:15:15. > :15:20.
:15:20. > :15:30.final appearance. Darryl Fitton ready up against it there, in big,
:15:30. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:47.always been a happy hunting ground for them. He beat Benito van de Pas,
:15:47. > :15:50.his first victory here since beating Scott Waites in 2009. A
:15:50. > :15:56.brilliant display against Stephen Bunting in the last round, but
:15:56. > :16:02.after some breathtaking darts from both men, and the opening Cormack
:16:02. > :16:09.steps here, it is Wesley Harms who has been able to just take control
:16:09. > :16:14.and run towards the finishing line. Bounce out clearly not Aideen
:16:14. > :16:24.Darryl Fitton's cause. The shoulders drooping, I wonder if he
:16:24. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:02.Harms has won eight legs out of the thought of the 60 there, which is
:17:02. > :17:12.just a slight opening for Darryl Fitton. He finds himself only 10
:17:12. > :17:39.
:17:39. > :17:48.behind, he might have been more help! Lakeside would have erupted,
:17:48. > :17:54.it would have erupted. But this is for the semi-finals, not this time.
:17:54. > :18:04.Darryl Fitton has not thrown his final dart at Lakeside 2013. Which
:18:04. > :18:16.
:18:16. > :18:26.where we wondered, there was a shake of the head and did did not
:18:26. > :18:39.
:18:39. > :18:44.look good. But Darryl Fitton is a Fitton. A massive double 16 keeps
:18:44. > :18:50.him alive. Yes, he is against the darts in this leg. But all the
:18:50. > :18:55.sudden, it looked as if he was going home, but back to 4-3.
:18:55. > :19:05.Another bounce out coming at a crucial time. Only his second of
:19:05. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :20:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 124 seconds
:20:00. > :20:06.It all looks as though it is going for a Darryl. He needs to hit a
:20:06. > :20:15.treble here. He is on a finish as a result of that, but matched darts 4
:20:15. > :20:24.Wesley Harms, albeit from 154. Darryl will have another chance.
:20:24. > :20:30.he can take out 156, watched the Lakeside roof come off. Unlucky.
:20:30. > :20:36.Unlucky, Darryl. This could now be his final dart of the World
:20:36. > :20:42.Championship. He has put Wesley Harms under pressure, but the
:20:42. > :20:52.Dutchman is looking at treble 19 and double six. This is for the
:20:52. > :20:52.
:20:52. > :20:57.match... Yes debt nerveless and brilliant, Darryl Fitton, the
:20:57. > :21:05.former undertaker, has been buried under a barrage of brilliant
:21:05. > :21:15.barrels from the No. 8 seed. Wesley Harms, calm, calculating, clinical.
:21:15. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:22.He coasts into the last four. What always likely to be some
:21:22. > :21:26.undertaking for Wesley Harms. It did look for a moment as though
:21:26. > :21:28.Darryl Fitton's high-scoring would getting through, but the younger
:21:28. > :21:33.man made it through to the semi- man made it through to the semi-
:21:33. > :21:36.finals again. Bobby, Wesley came out on top but
:21:36. > :21:41.they both deserve a lot of credit because that is the standard we
:21:41. > :21:48.expect at this stage. Some of the Games are over 100
:21:48. > :21:53.average, obviously. But it was a good game. He levelled in up to the
:21:53. > :22:01.break, 2-2, went into the break and then the Dutchman sort of, but the
:22:01. > :22:06.game from there. He was more or sold. -- sort of commanded the game.
:22:06. > :22:11.They averages were so similar. The doubles was so similar in terms of
:22:11. > :22:20.the checkout presented. Was it the Dutchman's temperament?
:22:20. > :22:25.When he had his chance, he did not miss. It is when you miss, this
:22:25. > :22:28.once and you are in trouble. A nice Stagg of, great game to watch. All
:22:28. > :22:33.week we have been looking at this dartboard doing little workshops,
:22:33. > :22:38.helping people like myself learning to play darts. He had been talking
:22:38. > :22:43.about follow-through, why people go for the doubles the goal for.
:22:43. > :22:48.Yesterday we talked about gripping. Today, we're going to talk about
:22:48. > :22:54.ways to make it more interesting. If you're just trying to hit treble
:22:54. > :22:58.20 every day, you may get a bit bored. We have a few games, it is
:22:58. > :23:04.called road aboard, most people know this one. It is quite simple,
:23:05. > :23:12.you go around the dartboard and finish at the with the bull of the
:23:12. > :23:18.inner ring. If you hit the double one, you can skip two and go to
:23:18. > :23:23.three. If you hit treble one, then you can go to four. That is an easy
:23:23. > :23:29.one, everyone plays that. There is also cricket. You have a batting
:23:29. > :23:33.and bowling team. Our cricket is different from American cricket. I
:23:33. > :23:43.don't want to get involved in that. They'd changed our lingo and ruined
:23:43. > :23:45.
:23:45. > :23:52.it all. In cricket if you have 10 wickets. You're the ball there. Say
:23:52. > :23:56.I was the bowler, and you are the batsmen. I have to get you out.
:23:56. > :24:02.would be the batting team, are we going to break for drinks? A bit of
:24:02. > :24:10.orange juice at 11 o'clock? I go like this, I am the batting team, I
:24:10. > :24:16.will throw these, and I have 25 runs. Now, Bobby has to take a vote
:24:16. > :24:26.the wickets. The you can have 25, as well!
:24:26. > :24:30.OK, you do 25 bull. He is such a show off. That is too light wickets,
:24:30. > :24:40.I am now whatever Wright scored for two. Get it? If you're not as good
:24:40. > :24:46.as Bobby, you can have the wickets around the board, one-10. Another
:24:46. > :24:50.that is really good fun, especially if you are terrible at darts, is
:24:50. > :24:58.under-over. Everyone has a chance to win. That is what we will play
:24:58. > :25:06.for the right to buy dinner tonight. This is under-over. I don't have to
:25:06. > :25:13.get a high score, I will throw my darts. That is 45. It is now a
:25:13. > :25:21.Timmy. I have to tell Bobby bothered to go under 45 or over 45.
:25:21. > :25:25.I am going to see under. You have to score under 45. It is tricky for
:25:25. > :25:32.the Dazzler. And you cannot throw them out of the dartboard,
:25:32. > :25:37.obviously. You have name there. Well, I want to win a dinner for a
:25:37. > :25:42.change! And now you have to tell me to go
:25:42. > :25:48.under or over. I am going to see under.
:25:48. > :25:58.And I have to score under nine. I will never score under nine. I have
:25:58. > :25:59.
:25:59. > :26:04.Gideon for the 1s. -- I have to a boom. Different ways you can
:26:04. > :26:08.practise darts rat does not get as boring. It is good fun, and you are
:26:08. > :26:13.also using all the dartboard. If you play on the twenties all the
:26:13. > :26:20.time it is boring and you will wear the dartboard boat. Cricket and
:26:20. > :26:25.over-under, three ways you can do it. Let's catch up on the woman's
:26:25. > :26:30.draw for the semi-finals. Anastasia faces Trina Gulliver
:26:30. > :26:35.tonight, but last night's semi- finals of Lisa Ashton, who can
:26:35. > :26:39.produce top-class darts and has won the Masters before, against the
:26:39. > :26:49.young Dutch girl Sharon Prins, who only started throwing six years ago.
:26:49. > :26:57.
:26:57. > :27:05.We will join that from the start, for our praise -- a place in the
:27:05. > :27:09.2013 world final. I don't want to spoil it for everybody, but I was...
:27:09. > :27:17.Here you are going to, ardent you? My art and Adams walked past me and
:27:17. > :27:27.he said simply, least a wince. -- Martin Adams. He said simply
:27:27. > :27:28.
:27:28. > :27:34.that Lisa will win. So, but is that. She is unseeded, but against Deta
:27:34. > :27:41.Hedman I don't think anybody would have touched her. She has been
:27:41. > :27:48.playing for some years, Lisa. She lives in Bolton, Lancashire. Not in
:27:48. > :27:58.the seeds. A rider of these players are seeded. -- neither of these

:42:17. > :42:23.fancied. You'd be heard 2-0. I know there, we have had lots of good
:42:23. > :42:27.games. I just got my head down and I did it. What has been the
:42:27. > :42:36.difference for you this time? Why have you suddenly found this nice
:42:36. > :42:42.vein of form? I thought this time I have gone out, I can do this, I got
:42:42. > :42:46.my head down, I'm going to do it. Last night you're playing Sharon
:42:46. > :42:49.Prins, the Dutch baby Tom. It is always tricky when you play someone
:42:49. > :42:54.who has not been here before because some of them do not know
:42:54. > :42:59.any fear. They do not. She is a good player, she was trying her
:42:59. > :43:06.best, you do not know if she is going to play well, first time, or
:43:06. > :43:11.she is going to go. It was a difficult game, I sorted out.
:43:11. > :43:18.got 120 in the first set. I know. If I missed it, she was going to
:43:18. > :43:22.take it. When it went in, I was very pleased. One of your daughters
:43:22. > :43:27.is here, the other one you are not allowing to come down. Anybody else
:43:27. > :43:31.coming down from Bolton? Some of the girls are coming down to
:43:31. > :43:39.support me, I have friends and sponsors coming down. Looking
:43:39. > :43:42.forward to it. There is the small matter of who you are going to play.
:43:42. > :43:48.Anastasia Dobromyslova versus Trina Gulliver. They have bought won it
:43:48. > :43:52.before. It will be difficult. Have you got a preference as to which
:43:53. > :44:00.one you will have a better chance against? They are both good players,
:44:00. > :44:07.world champion, they will both go for it. Whoever I play, you need to
:44:07. > :44:11.play against the board. I will be happy whoever it is. Lisa Ashton in
:44:11. > :44:16.the final with confidence regardless of who she faces. Either
:44:16. > :44:20.way, she will be the underdog. It is between the nine-times champion,
:44:21. > :44:30.Trina Gulliver, and the woman who returned last year to steal the
:44:31. > :44:35.
:44:35. > :44:45.Anastasia Dobromyslova. It is amazing. It feels like I never left.
:44:45. > :44:46.
:44:46. > :44:51.It is a good feeling. For the 2012 world title. People ask me why I
:44:51. > :45:01.went for the bull's-eye. I wanted to finish and I know how good Deta
:45:01. > :45:04.
:45:04. > :45:14.Hedman is. When you start messing, Bill dive for pancake -- Anastasia
:45:14. > :45:20.
:45:20. > :45:28.That was one year ago. It obviously a good feeling, yes. Winner won the
:45:28. > :45:31.first time, quite a few Russian challengers came over to Lakeside.
:45:31. > :45:35.Hopefully the sport will grow in Russia, because there are a lot of
:45:35. > :45:41.good players there, they just have no chance to get out more and play
:45:41. > :45:47.more competitions. I am putting in the hard work, practising, and
:45:47. > :45:57.hopefully it pays off. I know how good I am. If it pays on the day -
:45:57. > :46:04.I am as excited about the women's semi-final tonight with Anastasia
:46:04. > :46:09.and Trina Gulliver as I am about the men's. One man has decided the
:46:09. > :46:15.traditional dartboard's number is up. Meet Professor David% from the
:46:15. > :46:20.University of Salford. -- David Percy. What is the motivation to
:46:20. > :46:25.change the number order? It was a bit of fun in mathematics. The idea
:46:25. > :46:32.was to produce the hardest and fairest dartboard we could and also
:46:32. > :46:37.it looks the nicest, I reckon. you a darts fan? Yes. Did you bring
:46:37. > :46:42.along with the science, our love with -- a love of the sport? Yes, I
:46:42. > :46:47.used to play as a student but that was many years ago. With any change,
:46:47. > :46:51.rightly or wrongly, there will be a huge amount of reticence to do that.
:46:51. > :46:56.If you try and change the size of a snooker table or goalposts,
:46:56. > :47:01.everyone says Noel. Have you met with that so far, as well? In fact,
:47:01. > :47:05.the opposite, people have shown a lot of interest. I don't mind
:47:05. > :47:11.whether it is taken as a new standard or anything, I don't care.
:47:11. > :47:16.It is just a bit of fun? Yes, a bit of fun. You have decided that the
:47:16. > :47:23.days of even numbers being beside each other are born, it is odd-even,
:47:23. > :47:31.order-even. That is one of the main things, but it makes the end be
:47:31. > :47:35.much harder. Finishing on a double, you might have an odd total, and on
:47:35. > :47:40.the old dartboard oche numbers are together and it is easier to get a
:47:40. > :47:45.finish. Now it is much harder. is wrong with it being slightly
:47:45. > :47:48.easier, speaking as an amateur player? It means that weaker
:47:48. > :47:55.players can sometimes be better players by pure chance. What is
:47:55. > :48:05.wrong with that? It is unfair. it is not. Any footballer can swing
:48:05. > :48:14.their food at a ball, and can score from 30 yards. The 20 are still in
:48:14. > :48:20.the same place, if you move then it is one, 18... Talk to me about it
:48:20. > :48:24.from there. The 17 and 19 are still in the same place. Either side of
:48:24. > :48:29.the 20 we have one and three, rather than one and five, because
:48:29. > :48:36.if you're going for 20 you should be penalised more if you miss it.
:48:36. > :48:42.Also, the 19, it is decided two and four, rather than two and seven, so
:48:42. > :48:46.there is more penalty for missing. The big difference is 16 has
:48:46. > :48:54.shifted from down here took up there. The amateur dart player's
:48:54. > :49:02.friend is definitely the 16 being fair, and 10 and six. If you have
:49:02. > :49:12.46 left, you go for the 10 and hit 66, Happy Days. I can see the logic
:49:12. > :49:14.
:49:14. > :49:19.to it, but will to look at that, 20 is the most common dark -- dart on
:49:19. > :49:25.the board. 16 is the most popular double. The 16 is hardly an
:49:25. > :49:31.adjustment at all from the 20. A think you have made that easier.
:49:31. > :49:35.That is one of the advantages. 16 been in the law part of the
:49:35. > :49:44.dartboard previously makes it easier. I think it is easier to get
:49:44. > :49:51.a Lord Browne number. That makes it -- a low down number. That makes it
:49:51. > :49:58.easier. What if we started it with kids? At the highest level, only on
:49:58. > :50:06.a rare occasion that will they miss what we call a fat number. It only
:50:06. > :50:11.affects them very, very slightly. The amateur player, to make it too
:50:11. > :50:15.difficult for them I think we drive them away a little bit. We used to
:50:15. > :50:19.have four boarded numbers here, so if you wanted to take an odd number
:50:19. > :50:24.of on the double you had to shoot for this section. It gave you a
:50:24. > :50:28.chance. We would not make kids play or a full-size football pitch. He
:50:28. > :50:32.would not start someone once bitter on a full stay at -- full-size
:50:32. > :50:36.table. There is still the same chance,
:50:37. > :50:40.exactly the same numbers appear on the dartboard. There is not less
:50:40. > :50:46.chance of getting this course, they're just in different places.
:50:46. > :50:54.will not win an argument with a Professor of mathematics.
:50:54. > :50:58.Let us bring in Bobby George. He is giving me a look already. And
:50:58. > :51:05.Richard Ashdown, our statistician. They have both looked at the
:51:05. > :51:12.dartboard. First of all, Bobby, what are your thoughts?
:51:12. > :51:16.If we had that at the beginning, we would not know no different. Human
:51:16. > :51:23.beings are very clever to work things out to make things easier.
:51:23. > :51:28.On the old dartboard, if we had 15, then you have the same numbers,
:51:28. > :51:33.that is what makes it slightly easier. On this dartboard, you have
:51:33. > :51:38.to hit a six off at 10, so it becomes difficult. But it is
:51:38. > :51:48.exactly the same. And Shanghai is exactly ate the same combination of
:51:48. > :51:49.
:51:49. > :51:56.sixes. It all adds up to 210, of the trebles add up to 630, it all
:51:56. > :52:01.adds up, exactly the same at maths on the dartboard but turned around.
:52:01. > :52:08.As he saw it will penalise me, rather than new. A good start
:52:08. > :52:11.player would probably play on that, it would not affect us that badly.
:52:11. > :52:20.-- a good dart player. It is only when you're under pressure it could
:52:20. > :52:28.affect you. But it is a bit of fun. It will not catch on, because the
:52:28. > :52:34.counting of the dartboard is unique, and all the shots to 61 are the
:52:34. > :52:41.same. Then it becomes different. Well, Bobby, thank you for being
:52:41. > :52:47.succinct! Are I would not play on it! I am
:52:47. > :52:52.not sitting on the fence now. They Richard, we should explain
:52:52. > :53:02.what Europe title means, you are the statistician, you set be signed
:53:02. > :53:04.
:53:04. > :53:13.-- beside the commentators... If they had no treble 19 I would
:53:13. > :53:17.say what are they doing? And this is why Richard has no friends. The
:53:17. > :53:21.point is, he knows every single combination.
:53:21. > :53:26.Bob's serving the combination, I think -- conversation, I think the
:53:26. > :53:31.biggest problem would be for the cameraman. They have lightning-
:53:31. > :53:35.quick reactions, and when I say double 16th they know where it is.
:53:36. > :53:41.On this dartboard they have defined the numbers, that is the trickiest
:53:41. > :53:46.part. If you play on a standard dartboard and just turn it to any
:53:46. > :53:55.other position, he will bamboozle a professional darts player. We have
:53:55. > :54:00.done that in exhibitions. It has that effect. Mathematically, a
:54:00. > :54:08.finish like 107, to go for trouble -- treble 19 on a standard
:54:08. > :54:14.dartboard, that changes. You have 107 left, you take out the treble
:54:14. > :54:22.19, then you need bull. If you get the seven then you go back to the
:54:22. > :54:28.familiar double top. A lot on this dartboard, the treble 19 is flanked
:54:28. > :54:34.by two and four. That side of it can we would have to look at the
:54:34. > :54:43.dartboard and pick out for every out shot what the safest way is to
:54:43. > :54:48.One eyewitness is the famous call in every pub, 10 or six! I have
:54:48. > :54:52.said it to you many times this week. I would miss that cry. A think we
:54:52. > :54:57.should leave the 10 and six alone. That is where you have stepped over
:54:57. > :55:04.the line, Professor Dave Percy! Let us tested out. I will score
:55:04. > :55:13.this, and any need your mathematical knowledge. -- and I
:55:13. > :55:20.These are Bobby George darts, I am told.
:55:20. > :55:25.But I broke this stem last night. Me I start, Colin?
:55:25. > :55:30.You can start. Why did you leave the 20 at the top? It were to be
:55:30. > :55:33.too dramatic to change it. By Jew could have that dartboard
:55:33. > :55:43.any way you like. They bull's-eye was originally
:55:43. > :55:48.
:55:48. > :55:52.That is 22 to start with, so that leaves you at 179. You have had the
:55:52. > :55:56.numbers that were in that place anyway. This is interesting, Bobby
:55:56. > :56:02.is going to kiss the lipstick as much as he can. He has gone into
:56:02. > :56:12.the three. Straight away in my head I am giving him 15, but he only has
:56:12. > :56:14.
:56:14. > :56:23.nine. He has 89. You are already on a finish of 100 and -- 112.
:56:23. > :56:33.Our will try near a my height. is that right? That is interesting,
:56:33. > :56:34.
:56:34. > :56:40.you can take of the 40 if you Body, 112 finish, how do you call
:56:40. > :56:44.for that? That is a three. That has helped you.
:56:44. > :56:54.Normal way, you could finish. If you get five you would have been at
:56:54. > :56:59.
:56:59. > :57:06.107. No it I am bang in trouble. -- now
:57:06. > :57:12.I am bang in trouble. You need 100, that has worked out for you. Treble
:57:12. > :57:22.20 leaves double top. I know that, I am not thick! The point is, Bobby,
:57:22. > :57:23.
:57:23. > :57:33.But he would not have gone for that, in fairness.
:57:33. > :57:34.
:57:34. > :57:44.I think he was going for it. 102 left. You have left yourself 90, so
:57:44. > :57:46.
:57:46. > :57:51.He went for double top, double top there with his first dart, the
:57:51. > :57:57.show-off! Are was not told I would be playing
:57:57. > :58:00.dart,! For the match he has missed that. At the moment the boys are
:58:00. > :58:05.staying at roughly in the area we already know. Do something a bit
:58:05. > :58:15.different, Richard. Just for the cameras as a demonstration.
:58:15. > :58:16.
:58:16. > :58:19.I am going to find the 15s. Where is 15. I am not very good, column.
:58:19. > :58:28.You have 71 left, that is a four where it would have been a seven
:58:29. > :58:36.before. That is 23.
:58:36. > :58:40.I am worried before I throw my dart that I will not hit a three.
:58:40. > :58:46.thing with Bobby's shot, I would have liked to have seen different
:58:46. > :58:49.numbers, because there is no adjustment for Bobby. The double 10
:58:49. > :58:55.is in the same place, it is automatic, I read like to see him
:58:55. > :59:02.hunting for it. Look at that, he has hit it! Bobby,
:59:02. > :59:06.congratulations, unlucky, Richard. They were OK. Pros and cons, I
:59:06. > :59:09.think. You have their hair cut for a
:59:10. > :59:14.Professor, as well! The men's quarter-finals tonight, let's have
:59:14. > :59:21.a look. Richie George, after disposing of
:59:21. > :59:25.Jimmy Hendriks and Dave Prins faces his toughest challenge yet against
:59:25. > :59:30.Jan Dekker. And it is Paul Jennings, first on the practice dartboard
:59:30. > :59:40.this morning against Scott Waites, who has changed his daily pattern
:59:40. > :59:47.
:59:47. > :59:57.in an attempt to change his Frimley ourselves, quiet, you cannot ask
:59:57. > :00:00.
:00:00. > :00:06.I came in on a Sunday afternoon after football, Scott Waites was
:00:06. > :00:10.playing dart, and asked him for a game. It Chris is a local lad, I
:00:10. > :00:20.gave him a few games the other day. He has a week off work so he
:00:20. > :00:24.
:00:24. > :00:31.decided to keep coming in. He is It is nice that you come down, you
:00:31. > :00:41.can be relaxed, if you need something, you can go and get it.
:00:41. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:52.180. It is bright, everything else, emotion. You go through more
:00:52. > :01:00.watching a player than Scott Waites does when he is playing. It is
:01:00. > :01:10.nerve-racking. I hate it but I've got to be there. It is a great
:01:10. > :01:12.
:01:12. > :01:19.Not happy about the first two games, but you need to keep working on
:01:19. > :01:27.them. My game has come on a lot today. I have had a lot of
:01:27. > :01:32.checkouts over 100. I need to take that into my game. I have played
:01:32. > :01:41.Paul a few times, I don't think he has beaten me yet. I am quietly
:01:41. > :01:48.confident. I think I will get Both men have been favourites in
:01:48. > :01:52.their last 32 game and last 16, if we look at them individually, Paul
:01:52. > :01:59.Jennings has been stuck to that double 16. That has been his best
:01:59. > :02:06.our. He is very good at his doubles. You need to score well to get the
:02:06. > :02:11.double. He is a strong player, and a great finisher. But he is up
:02:11. > :02:15.against a darts player that has got everything. We sound like a broken
:02:15. > :02:25.record when it comes to Scott Waites. He has what he has, he can
:02:25. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:32.blow them away. He has not quite got it yet. He can give as good as
:02:32. > :02:36.he gets. He can change. All the years he has blazed here -- played
:02:36. > :02:43.here, he has done all the tournaments, he has not pressed the
:02:43. > :02:49.button when he is here. If he does, he will win it. Paul Jennings needs
:02:49. > :02:56.to take two of the first four sets. He needs to put him under pressure
:02:56. > :03:00.because Paul Jennings is ice cold, and in the best-of- seven...
:03:00. > :03:05.Paul Jennings puts him under pressure, the good players still
:03:05. > :03:13.feel at the same as the guys that are not as good. You cannot bully
:03:13. > :03:18.them. If Scott Waites gets in front, Paul Jennings is in trouble. It is
:03:18. > :03:24.not just about making the semi- final, the difference between a
:03:24. > :03:28.semi-final and a quarter-final is massive, because the four semi-
:03:28. > :03:33.finalists are invited back, they do not need to qualify, they do not
:03:33. > :03:38.need to be seeded. You also automatically get into the Grand
:03:38. > :03:45.Slam of darts. You can earn a lot of money. If you can win this game
:03:45. > :03:53.neuron good money. You have a chance to be world champion, and
:03:53. > :04:03.the chance to play in the Grand Slam. If you win this game, you

:04:05. > :04:08.could get 100 grand. They potential. -- massive potential. We are
:04:08. > :04:14.already seen Wesley Harms get through his quarter-final from last
:04:14. > :04:24.night. We will continue with the extended highlights. Wesley Harms
:04:24. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:37.will be playing the winner of I'd be my chest when I'm playing

:04:48. > :04:57.better bother in Newcastle and I came storming in and pulled this
:04:57. > :05:06.person away from Perth. She said I was like King Kong. My entrance
:05:06. > :05:12.song is pretty cheesy but it gets the crowd cheering. I heard it in a
:05:12. > :05:17.bar in Germany and I thought I would use it. My entrance music is
:05:17. > :05:25.status quo. It is more for the fans that myself -- rather than myself.

:05:54. > :05:59.do not do it naturally. It is not something I have ever worked on.
:05:59. > :06:09.favourite double is double 16. It is a good shot for a right handed
:06:09. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:16.player. You're on the doubles all the way round. Sometimes it can be
:06:17. > :06:23.a nightmare, so the double 16 is my favourite. Double 18, double 16, I

:06:32. > :06:36.play any specific game, I just rode the darts. -- throw the darts. I
:06:37. > :06:41.usually eat breakfast and that is all I have in that day. It may be
:06:41. > :06:48.that I am nervous. Some liquid refreshment, then I loose in the
:06:48. > :06:55.hands. I like to have one hour relaxing in my room, reading or
:06:55. > :07:00.watching television. Come down, have a practice, a couple of drinks
:07:00. > :07:04.and then go to the venue. This year, I am trying to get to the venue
:07:04. > :07:14.hours earlier than I have done in previous years. It seems to be
:07:14. > :07:52.

:36:33. > :36:43.has come close in both those matches. 180! Much better for

:56:55. > :57:01.generally true, but he says it is very hot on that stage.
:57:01. > :57:07.He has lost two stone, apparently, since last year. He did say he

:06:38. > :06:43.surprise after last year, Wesley Harms versus Tony O'Shea. Before we
:06:43. > :06:46.get to that, what did you think about last night? It was difficult
:06:47. > :06:55.like I thought, but I was a highlight again there, and I had
:06:55. > :06:57.forgotten how many dart Robbie forgotten how many dart Robbie
:06:57. > :07:04.Green had to go 2-0 up. Your first nine dards were lovely, it
:07:04. > :07:09.reflected in your statistics. Very good performance. Did you feel you

:07:11. > :07:13.Obviously I will be to produce Obviously I will be to produce
:07:14. > :07:22.better than that but I have improved every game, so that is a
:07:22. > :07:28.good way of looking at it. Wesley Harms, last year was very good, one
:07:28. > :07:33.set in it. How much have you evolve? I will not see it as
:07:34. > :07:40.revenge. The last 12 months, I have been working really hard, and
:07:40. > :07:47.hopefully I will win this game tomorrow. You seem to be fitter and
:07:47. > :07:52.healthier this year. You went away after the final and thought you
:07:52. > :07:57.needed more in the tank. It was more health. I know it does not
:07:57. > :08:01.look good, but I have lost weight. I am fitter, I feel fitter, and I
:08:01. > :08:07.am not as stressed. It is long-term, not just for this tournament. I
:08:07. > :08:11.feel really good. Is there a battle between young and old? You have
:08:11. > :08:17.said it is a young man's game. Darryl Fitton was annoyed at that.
:08:17. > :08:24.Tony O'Shea is not too worried. Is it becoming a young man's game?
:08:24. > :08:30.Actually not. The only thing is, we have a young Dutch breed coming up,
:08:30. > :08:34.we are all young people, at the end of the road, I am thinking the
:08:34. > :08:44.English players are a little bit older, at that moment I think the
:08:44. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:50.Dutch are closing the gap. Dekker is well, look at his last
:08:50. > :08:59.two years. Tonight, will you watch the darts, or will you try to get
:08:59. > :09:05.in your own zone? I'm going to be there, because I am supporting Jan
:09:05. > :09:13.Dekker, because he is at that guy as well. What I have a good
:09:13. > :09:21.relationship with Ritchie George, but at the end of the day, it is
:09:21. > :09:31.that people first. What about you, Tony? Trip to the gym? That sounds
:09:31. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:41.good. He has really improved, this youngster. He is very focused, he
:09:41. > :09:48.averaged 95. Tony started badly, started building up, when I played
:09:48. > :09:52.darts, it is everything or nothing. darts, it is everything or nothing.
:09:52. > :09:56.It is very difficult to predict. These are the quarter-finals. Scott
:09:56. > :10:01.Waites hopes to find the right formula against Paul Jennings, who
:10:01. > :10:06.has been taking his chances better than most. Jan Dekker hoping to
:10:06. > :10:16.make his second semi-final against Ritchie George, who has naturally
:10:16. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:33.started off pretty good in the first set, I score very well, and I
:10:33. > :10:39.got the double when I needed to. I was happy to get the win. If you
:10:39. > :10:43.throw a darts, you're not really physical, but if you stood that for
:10:43. > :10:52.six hours, you would be knackered, your arm would be falling off
:10:52. > :10:58.because you use muscles you do not normally moved. If our runner was
:10:58. > :11:05.throwing darts for five hours they would be knackered. I scored really
:11:05. > :11:09.well, some bad legs when I did not score as much, but that is the way
:11:09. > :11:13.it goes. It is a funny game, you can score really well and must
:11:13. > :11:23.doubles and it does not work. If I can combine the two, it will be a
:11:23. > :11:28.
:11:28. > :11:35.his first round, hopefully it will be a good game, his finishing is
:11:35. > :11:45.very good at the moment, whereas I am scoring a bit better. It will be
:11:45. > :11:49.
:11:49. > :11:52.years at the Lakeside, he was beaten by the champion and Dean
:11:52. > :11:57.Winstanley. He has only been beaten Winstanley. He has only been beaten
:11:57. > :12:02.by the best at Lakeside. How far can he go? He has a good chance, he
:12:02. > :12:06.has the experience, so let I take a look at that he has a good chance.
:12:06. > :12:14.When you play again some body, in the case of Ritchie George, and you
:12:14. > :12:20.know they will get a certain average, and you need to produce
:12:20. > :12:26.ideas. It is different with Ritchie George, some of his shots were
:12:26. > :12:32.awful in the second round. He has been doing that on the tour all
:12:32. > :12:37.year. Playing fantastic. The Lakeside stage makes the difference.
:12:37. > :12:47.On the tour is nothing like that stage. Did he do his homework on
:12:47. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:56.the bus? He plays with no pressure. When he is angry, he is at his best.
:12:56. > :13:06.It annoys me, he has so much confidence. He thinks he can beat
:13:06. > :13:08.
:13:08. > :13:17.anybody. He has that about him. If he can score like he can, and he
:13:17. > :13:22.finishes, put the two together, he has a 50% chance. Good luck on
:13:22. > :13:26.Saturday, the semi-final repeat. We are back with highlights of the
:13:26. > :13:36.other two quarter-finals at 11:50pm, and we will find out if Ritchie
:13:36. > :13:43.
