:00:08. > :00:12.It is one of the most familiar locations in all of British sport
:00:13. > :00:17.and host to one of the most dramatic, sometimes heartbreaking,
:00:18. > :00:21.sometimes bizarre world championships in the sporting
:00:22. > :00:25.calendar. 2014 kicks off macro with the PDO will starts from here at the
:00:26. > :00:29.Lakeside as we say hello to some familiar faces, I wonder which
:00:30. > :00:37.Rangers will announce themselves -- which Rangers as stars. Competitors
:00:38. > :00:44.from New Zealand, Canada, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Belgium and of
:00:45. > :00:46.course here in the UK. It is the arrows on the BBC and the sky is the
:00:47. > :01:18.limit. Hello, everybody, and welcome to the
:01:19. > :01:21.only madhouse where the lunatics queued to get in. The Lakeside is
:01:22. > :01:28.ready for the opening afternoon session of the 2014 PDO world darts.
:01:29. > :01:32.Joining me as always, perched up high in the balcony, looking down on
:01:33. > :01:36.his minions, the only man who dresses down for Mardi Gras, Bobby
:01:37. > :01:44.George. It must be three decades you have been here? I do go home
:01:45. > :01:50.sometimes! Do you have the same tingle? I get the feeling every time
:01:51. > :01:59.I come here, I would love to be up there and I know how they feel. You
:02:00. > :02:05.also mention the girls as well, it is a bit of a walk in the dark this
:02:06. > :02:10.year. I bought a pint and put it down and somebody stole it and then
:02:11. > :02:16.when the lights came on... We did have a little scare when the Power
:02:17. > :02:22.went out. When we were watching the Ally Pally darts, the format is a
:02:23. > :02:28.bit different, more men and more women. Rob Walker can explain it. We
:02:29. > :02:32.have got the familiar setting here at Lakeside but we will have some
:02:33. > :02:38.new names here courtesy of the men's draw being widened to 40
:02:39. > :02:40.players. The top 20/ in September which left 16 places for the
:02:41. > :02:44.qualifiers, eight of them have travelled from all across the world,
:02:45. > :02:48.some of them making their first appearance here at Lakeside and also
:02:49. > :02:52.in the 16 lining up for the preliminary round, two former world
:02:53. > :03:01.champions, Martin Adams and Christian Kist, the lipstick is up
:03:02. > :03:06.against Heery OKI shim zoo -- very lucky shim
:03:07. > :03:10.Mike Day making history for New Zealand, travelling all the way from
:03:11. > :03:14.Auckland and he will be the oldest player ever to appear at the
:03:15. > :03:19.Lakeside at the tender age of 58 when he takes on Sam Head. All of
:03:20. > :03:24.those results could have an impact on the line-up for the first round
:03:25. > :03:31.proper. Stephen Bunting, what a 2013 he had. He will be up against either
:03:32. > :03:36.Jim Widmayer or Garry Thompson. Wesley Harms reached the semifinals
:03:37. > :03:39.several months ago, he is up against Paul Jennings, that could be a good
:03:40. > :03:45.one as well as the line-up, Ritchie George against Robbie Green. That
:03:46. > :03:55.could be an absolute cracker, sure to have his father on the edge of
:03:56. > :04:05.his seat. James Wilson will face the winner of Kist or Shimizu. Scotty
:04:06. > :04:16.'2' Hotty has got a difficult match against Alan Norris and could Tony
:04:17. > :04:22.O'Shea faces long-term friend Martin Adams? Only if he gets past David
:04:23. > :04:25.Cameron. We have got nine days of scintillating arrows in prospect, it
:04:26. > :04:26.will be dramatic, it will be passionate and we cannot wait for
:04:27. > :04:34.every single second. Very exciting, you will have
:04:35. > :04:38.pronunciation problems over the first week but you always give me a
:04:39. > :04:44.name at the start that nobody is talking about. Who is it this year?
:04:45. > :04:50.It is difficult for me to say that. Jimmy Wilson for me. He is playing
:04:51. > :04:56.well but we almost that. It is the person we do not know, possibly an
:04:57. > :04:59.overseas player. And the eight regional qualifiers which means you
:05:00. > :05:08.get a Canadian in there, a New Zealander, an Australian. They have
:05:09. > :05:12.done it from their own merit. It is easy to play the person you know, it
:05:13. > :05:17.is hard to play the person you don't know and that is exciting. A real
:05:18. > :05:25.mixed today, and that is what you will see. This is what we have
:05:26. > :05:31.coming up. Martin Adams are starting to find his feet again after a
:05:32. > :05:35.period on and off the oche, he is playing a Canadian by the name of
:05:36. > :05:39.David Cameron. Then it is two-time semifinalist
:05:40. > :05:43.Wesley Harms who has been handed a first turf round draw against Paul
:05:44. > :05:47.Jennings to reach the quarterfinals of 2012 but we will start their
:05:48. > :05:52.champion, Yorkshire's Scott Waites trying to defend after winning style
:05:53. > :05:56.last year. And it will not be easy because the pressure will be on
:05:57. > :06:00.Scotty '2' Hotty but he changed the last format last year. He took the
:06:01. > :06:06.pressure off macro and spent time with his friends and family and it
:06:07. > :06:10.delivered his first world title. I headed down to have a chat with him
:06:11. > :06:12.away from the humdrum of the Lakeside but stupidly I brought my
:06:13. > :06:18.darts. No score. Never! I will give you a
:06:19. > :06:43.chance, backwards, 66. You cannot buy that can you? What a
:06:44. > :06:53.doubt! -- what a dart will stop how has life changed for the man who
:06:54. > :06:57.says darts is a hobby not a profession? It comes from winning
:06:58. > :07:02.the world championship. But that is what it is all about. You get
:07:03. > :07:09.recognised a bit more in the street and you cannot go shopping without
:07:10. > :07:14.people pulling you up in the seafood section, it is mad. I am still doing
:07:15. > :07:20.a bit of carpentry, a bit of joinery. I enjoy it. And then the
:07:21. > :07:28.darts in the night. What do you remember of the final? It all
:07:29. > :07:39.happened so quick, I remember being up and I thought I cannot win 5-0
:07:40. > :07:47.up, and then I did it. The World Professional Darts Championships,
:07:48. > :07:50.Scott Waites! Right now and for every day of the tournament, they
:07:51. > :07:56.are talking about their best win and their best defeat. Lots of players
:07:57. > :08:02.and you remove yourself and you just come in here... It is more relaxing
:08:03. > :08:06.when you come in here with friends and family. If you want to stop at
:08:07. > :08:11.Lakeside for the hustle and bustle, you can do but we like to go away
:08:12. > :08:15.and come down here, a bit of quiet, you get treated really well. A quiet
:08:16. > :08:24.game of darts. What more do you want for reparations? Only two players
:08:25. > :08:27.have retained their title, in BDO history. You are second favourite
:08:28. > :08:35.for the bookies, forget that, how do you feel? They had me as favourite
:08:36. > :08:39.all the way through last year and Stephen Bunting is favourite, he has
:08:40. > :08:44.been on the circuit, he has probably won more tournaments than any other
:08:45. > :08:50.player this year and as being Lakeside favourite, Stephen has been
:08:51. > :08:56.playing a lot of soft tipped darts and you play off eight foot. If he
:08:57. > :09:01.has been concentrating too much on that, I am not concentrating on his
:09:02. > :09:07.steel tipped darts. It is anybody's, really. He may have the
:09:08. > :09:11.world at his feet but he will have to be on his toes in the third
:09:12. > :09:17.round, best of five sets, Scott Waites is taking on Alan Norris,
:09:18. > :09:21.every time he turns up here, he is living in a different country. He
:09:22. > :09:28.has got good form, always takes eight good player to knock him out.
:09:29. > :09:33.Scotty has got a lot of pressure on him, world champion, first guy to go
:09:34. > :09:40.on the stage, lots of pressure. Alan Norris, good, steady player, he has
:09:41. > :09:45.been round the circuit. All the little opens and tournaments so he
:09:46. > :09:48.has done his homework. He is winning them. What will happen in this first
:09:49. > :11:23.game? Do you think the first apps His opponent, a former French open
:11:24. > :11:29.Luxembourg open and Welsh Masters champion, welcome to the stage Alan
:11:30. > :12:18.Chuck Norris! COLIN MURRAY: Alan Norris could be
:12:19. > :12:20.the spanner in Waites cogs. In the commentary box, a legend, Tony Green
:12:21. > :12:32.alongside Vassos Alexander. COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Colin. Here,
:12:33. > :12:41.here we go. The first match at Lakeside 2014. Alan Norris against
:12:42. > :12:48.Scott Waites. Top of the world and still a carpenter. Waites decided
:12:49. > :12:54.not to give up the day job despite winning the world Chebet ship last
:12:55. > :12:59.year, possibly the world first, a dominoes injury, Waites played
:13:00. > :13:03.dominoes in his local last week and he could not move when he went to
:13:04. > :13:09.get up, and add a troublesome shoulder to the bad back and it
:13:10. > :13:12.could be nailed onto an early return to woodwork but Waites says he is
:13:13. > :13:18.pain-free today for the first time and last time he played Alan Norris
:13:19. > :13:19.here, he thrashed him 4-0. Norris making his sixth Lakeside
:13:20. > :13:34.appearance. I was chatting with Alan Norris
:13:35. > :13:38.earlier on and all he would say to every question, he said it is all
:13:39. > :13:44.good and he is right there, we are under way here at Lakeside 2014 and
:13:45. > :13:50.Tony, it is all good. It is exciting.
:13:51. > :13:56.It will be a high-scoring match, this. Two of the big scorers. The
:13:57. > :14:23.world champion. I was talking to him, in the
:14:24. > :14:28.auditorium and he has no problem with double blank any more. He will
:14:29. > :14:35.not be making any excuses. He is a Yorkshireman after all. He lives in
:14:36. > :14:43.Huddersfield, 36 years old. Alan Norris has lived all over.
:14:44. > :15:08.Representing England this year and first to a finish.
:15:09. > :15:18.There is the bull. Double 14... He is fast, he is furious, he could
:15:19. > :15:38.have had it. But a good chance now. yes! It is there! Both players on
:15:39. > :15:50.form. It is going to be a cracker. More of the same, please. The first
:15:51. > :16:02.leg at Lakeside, a bit of a belter. If it goes along like that, would be
:16:03. > :16:12.something to set the stage alight. I noticed Norris was smiling all the
:16:13. > :16:17.way during the introductions. Yes, I mentioned he didn't want to talk
:16:18. > :16:22.much. Unusual for him because he is a very friendly guy. But he says
:16:23. > :16:31.this time around he has got his game face on. But, he said, please say
:16:32. > :16:40.hello to the Crown darts team, which is his team.
:16:41. > :16:59.He is a very high-scoring player. Usually his finishing let him down.
:17:00. > :17:21.Six darts from 140. He cannot take it out this time. He will switch to
:17:22. > :17:33.19. He will have 100 when he comes back.
:17:34. > :18:23.So, two good legs from both players. That was unlucky. It bounced out. 60
:18:24. > :18:30.points on the floor. Still waiting for our first maximum of Lakeside
:18:31. > :18:41.2014. But you get the feeling we will not be waiting long.
:18:42. > :18:50.They are both fast players. They get on with it.
:18:51. > :19:07.Where are they going to night? -- tonight. What a leg this is from
:19:08. > :19:09.Alan Norris. I must say, he is a very high scorer. His doubles have
:19:10. > :19:57.let him down in the past. Well, if Alan Norris can keep
:19:58. > :20:04.finding his doubles, Scott Wade could find himself in trouble. Never
:20:05. > :20:17.a problem scoring. And look at those first nine averages.
:20:18. > :20:26.That is better. Scotty, Yorkshireman from Huddersfield. He will not give
:20:27. > :21:40.in. That is for sure. In this first round it is the best
:21:41. > :21:42.of five sets to win the match. This is to take us into a deciding leg in
:21:43. > :21:48.the first set. It is hot up there. It is hard in
:21:49. > :22:57.the audience. -- heart. The angel of darts! Switching to 18.
:22:58. > :23:16.He needed a third one in the trouble if he was to leave a finish. --
:23:17. > :23:23.treble. Still advantage Norris. You cannot finish on 257 but Norris can
:23:24. > :23:29.finish on double top. Could do nothing about that. Double top
:23:30. > :23:40.coming here. Under no pressure whatsoever. Well, well, well. Next
:23:41. > :23:44.time he comes to the key, he could find himself under pressure. -- the
:23:45. > :24:08.oche. That is the one! Yes, Norris getting
:24:09. > :24:23.the applause. He did well there. Shaky now for the champion.
:24:24. > :24:34.We are just having a quick change of the board. The ring outside, where
:24:35. > :24:49.the numbers are, I think the four came off.
:24:50. > :25:01.Little Richard has taken over on the stage. He has been doing a great
:25:02. > :25:08.job. Isn't he just? He spent the past decade or so in this commentary
:25:09. > :25:12.box. Berry is, loves it. I have known him since he was 16 years of
:25:13. > :25:16.age and he just wanted to be up on that stage. He still looks about 16,
:25:17. > :25:33.mind you! Oh, dear. Scotty... Good recovery on
:25:34. > :25:56.the last dart. Again finds the treble with the last
:25:57. > :26:08.dart. Scott is favoured for this one.
:26:09. > :26:20.Very tidy. Very tidy. And all of a sudden, to hold his throat, Scott
:26:21. > :26:23.Waites will feel he needs to hit 148, which he cannot do. A big
:26:24. > :26:31.chance for the first break of throw in the match.
:26:32. > :26:42.He secures the break. A tense of the first will tell you what it means.
:26:43. > :26:44.-- clench of the fest. You have to watch out for a Norris in the early
:26:45. > :26:56.rounds. He means business. So, the first break of this matter.
:26:57. > :27:31.-- match. A quiet start to this leg from both
:27:32. > :27:37.players. Bobby forecast this as well. He knew, as well as I do, the
:27:38. > :27:46.form of Norris. Still a way to go, Tony, the first to three sets. Oh,
:27:47. > :27:56.it is not over yet. I told you, he is from Yorkshire. He is asking
:27:57. > :28:01.himself, what is going on? Scotty is not to party. -- Scott is not too
:28:02. > :28:19.hot. There it is! Almost two in succession.
:28:20. > :28:35.How about this? OK, Scotty. So, more agony for Scott
:28:36. > :29:01.Waites. He snatched at it. A chance for
:29:02. > :29:14.Scott Waites to save it. And to break back. Yes! Look at them, they
:29:15. > :29:34.are loving it. The biggest smile you have ever seen
:29:35. > :29:42.there. And that was from Norris. Scott Waites bangs in 137 start the
:29:43. > :30:00.third leg of this set. Anything you can do... Was that Launcelot? He
:30:01. > :30:09.liked his arrows, did Launcelot. Yes, I was just thinking. Yes, sir.
:30:10. > :30:21.I wonder if he was as accurate as these two on the stage?
:30:22. > :30:54.Alan Norris has basically nicked the throw.
:30:55. > :31:11.Norris patrolling around the oche, moving in for treble 20, double top.
:31:12. > :31:27.Yes, it's their honour no messing! -- it there, . Throwing for a two
:31:28. > :31:43.set lead. The reigning champion may not be raining too much longer.
:31:44. > :31:57.A nice start from Waites. But look at the room there. They are up in
:31:58. > :32:01.the air. You could have got another three in there. Is this another
:32:02. > :32:11.maximum? Come on, Scotty, keep it going.
:32:12. > :32:26.The business end of this leg now. Down to a finish.
:32:27. > :32:34.There is nothing Waites can do, only wait.
:32:35. > :32:49.This would be like a dagger through the heart of Alan Norris but it
:32:50. > :32:58.can't happen now. So 25s for a two set lead.
:32:59. > :33:14.There it is! He limps over the line but the finishing line comes
:33:15. > :33:17.closer. Norris leaves by two sets to nothing and he is a set away from
:33:18. > :33:24.knocking out the defending champion. In 2010, Norris hit nine 180s
:33:25. > :33:57.against Robert Whitener. -- Wagner. He always scores well. But this is
:33:58. > :33:59.it, he now knows he just needs this set and that is the hardest one to
:34:00. > :34:09.win. I wonder if they have got a
:34:10. > :34:20.dartboard at Buckingham Palace. He needed the last treble, and he
:34:21. > :35:24.got it. He is on the way back. A 112 out to
:35:25. > :36:00.break the throw. Alan Norris has just been a little
:36:01. > :36:09.bit wayward since the start of this set. He is not pushing them through
:36:10. > :36:13.the air like he was doing. It looks like he might be struggling with the
:36:14. > :36:19.heat on the stage. It is unusually hot here this year. Although it is
:36:20. > :36:22.always hot. With all those lights and cameras pointing at you, you
:36:23. > :36:40.really do feel it. That is a maximum. Norris camp keeps
:36:41. > :37:24.rolling. Slipping away. To level this set.
:37:25. > :37:32.There it is, that double top was there, that is all he needed.
:37:33. > :38:03.He has to hold his throat twice. -- hold his throw.
:38:04. > :38:14.We talk about Alan Norris and his check out problems, the way he
:38:15. > :38:19.scores, he will always get more chances... And Scott Waites gets in
:38:20. > :38:31.with a maximum. His first of the match. It is pandemonium out there.
:38:32. > :38:37.They don't know who to cheer here. Good finishing, 180s, 140s, but it
:38:38. > :38:48.is the champion who is in trouble. He wants the bull and he has got
:38:49. > :39:35.it! Norris, one leg away. Incredible. He has got everything to
:39:36. > :39:42.do now. Well, well, well. Norris cannot chuck this away.
:39:43. > :39:56.Are we on the verge of a famous upset?
:39:57. > :40:13.All eyes on Norris. This leg will do.
:40:14. > :40:47.Yes! Look at this, he's fighting back, he is a champion.
:40:48. > :41:10.A fraction away, 84 needed. Treble 20, double 12 will do.
:41:11. > :41:20.Match point. Alan Norris can do this in two darts.
:41:21. > :41:42.Yes, he says the match! -- saves. Norris had a chance, now he has got
:41:43. > :41:54.it all to do. Great start, there is the finish for
:41:55. > :41:59.that man there, the champion. But he has still got a mountain to climb.
:42:00. > :42:06.If he can win this leg, Scott Waites, then we are back with the
:42:07. > :42:23.darts. And that is a big if. What a saviour, that one. It just
:42:24. > :42:43.keeps in there. But Norris is still favourite at this stage.
:42:44. > :42:57.He takes a drink, he doesn't have to go for this, but let's see if he
:42:58. > :43:05.does. But he won't without doubt. So it is still in the balance.
:43:06. > :43:15.He missed 84 for the match in the previous leg. 85 between Alan Norris
:43:16. > :43:33.and round two. I, he has done it! Oh, yes! How many
:43:34. > :43:39.times has it happened in the past? The world champion falls at the
:43:40. > :43:47.first hurdle of his defence and the man to do it, Norris, he is the boy,
:43:48. > :43:54.he is the man, he is the star of the day. Ladies and gentlemen, our
:43:55. > :43:57.champion last year, we say goodbye this year, Scott Waites!
:43:58. > :44:06.And through to the second round, Alan "Chuck" Norris!
:44:07. > :44:32.COLIN MURRAY: Several champions lie after winning the year before, no
:44:33. > :44:33.luck for Scott Waites, what a way to start 2014 PDO World Darts
:44:34. > :44:54.Championship 's. -- PDO. Let me introduce you to the smartest
:44:55. > :44:58.man in all of Britain now. The first game you called the world champion
:44:59. > :45:05.going out. There was pressure on Scott but let's make no mistake, the
:45:06. > :45:10.last 32, you are averaging over 90, phenomenal darts.
:45:11. > :45:18.When you are averaging almost 100 for the first nine darts, and
:45:19. > :45:24.overall average, you have got to do 15 dart leg every time against him.
:45:25. > :45:36.He had a few scruffy darts and they both did, to be honest. Overall, I
:45:37. > :45:43.said to you, in practice playing in the pubs, he did his homework. You
:45:44. > :45:48.come off the first two sets and it was not a done deal, he has got to
:45:49. > :45:53.knock out the champion and when the pressure was on Alan Norris, he had
:45:54. > :45:59.his finishes. It might only be an 81 but he got that bull's-eye. That was
:46:00. > :46:06.lovely. His winning darts are exactly the same. To beat the world
:46:07. > :46:10.champion and knocking out and not him out with a bull's-eye, what a
:46:11. > :46:15.way to do it. But that is the way it goes. When you are the champion, the
:46:16. > :46:19.pressure is on you. The boy didn't play like you can but Norris did not
:46:20. > :46:25.give him a chance. So good luck to him. We left a little gap and we
:46:26. > :46:28.will have to make a bigger one because Alan Norris has knocked out
:46:29. > :46:50.the world champion, Scott Waites. Get in the middle. You predicted 3-1
:46:51. > :47:00.and you won 3-0? I took my chances. I fancied a 170. I changed the
:47:01. > :47:05.flight. The bull's-eye finish. I like the bull's-eye. It is my
:47:06. > :47:09.favourite double, to be fair. You played really fast darts. What
:47:10. > :47:17.impressed us was that when you are to set ahead, you held your nerve?
:47:18. > :47:25.No. Both myself and Scott, we did not play our best games. Locally
:47:26. > :47:31.I've been playing pretty well. I have been pretty stable. I wasn't
:47:32. > :47:36.probably on us much pressure as people think. I am thinking,
:47:37. > :47:40.defending world champion, he has got more to lose than me. I would rather
:47:41. > :47:45.have him over a shorter format than over seven sets. I have got six
:47:46. > :47:56.years experience in now, quite comfortable. Hats off to my mates.
:47:57. > :48:01.They all come and practice with me. Get hammered week in, week out. Job
:48:02. > :48:16.done. We will talk to you a bit more. Your greatest moment at the
:48:17. > :48:20.Lakeside. Letter from Scott Waites. -- S from Scott Waites. Scott has
:48:21. > :48:24.been superb period Lakeside in the past. It is the first time you have
:48:25. > :48:32.gone out in the first round. What has gone on in the lead up to this?
:48:33. > :48:36.Bit disappointed. I have had a few mishaps coming up to Christmas.
:48:37. > :48:44.Allen, on the day, he played awesome. The better man wins on the
:48:45. > :48:49.day. No excuses. My game didn't come to fruition and his dead. Were you
:48:50. > :48:56.surprised at just how good he was when it came to the pressure points?
:48:57. > :49:01.No. I have played Alan. I know what sort of game I am going to get from
:49:02. > :49:07.him. I did not turn up. The best man won on the day. Darts is all about
:49:08. > :49:12.the day. If you don't turn up, you don't win. Is their any chance you
:49:13. > :49:19.may go full-time after this? We know you have huge quality. Quality? I
:49:20. > :49:24.don't know. We will see what happens. You never know. I need some
:49:25. > :49:33.practice after that, definitely. Thank you for talking to us. That
:49:34. > :49:38.was very gracious. I know you are going to celebrate
:49:39. > :49:45.victory tonight in proper Alan Norris style. This is what you will
:49:46. > :49:49.be celebrating. These final darts. I will probably be celebrating with a
:49:50. > :49:52.pot noodle because the food is not much here! Similar averages to what
:49:53. > :50:01.I have been doing in local tournaments. I will take a 31
:50:02. > :50:09.average every day of the week. First nine, the first six darts are good.
:50:10. > :50:18.I need to improve on my third throw. But I never analyse statistics like
:50:19. > :50:21.that. It will be better next time. When you are hitting one out of two
:50:22. > :50:29.you will have many good times appear. 75%, I will take that every
:50:30. > :50:35.day of the week. I played Dean Winstanley and I was three sets to
:50:36. > :50:41.one down. He had similar averages. I kept steady. I came back. Same
:50:42. > :50:47.result. That's all right. Congratulations. All this on the
:50:48. > :50:54.back of waking me up at half past two this morning outside my hotel
:50:55. > :50:58.room. I have decided to change everything this year. My brother is
:50:59. > :51:02.not here. I bet he is dancing round at home now. He loves the darts. I
:51:03. > :51:08.have changed everything. Early nights, but 7:30am and practising
:51:09. > :51:13.for 14 hours as none of the window. It is more late nights and early
:51:14. > :51:16.mornings. If you are going to continue doing that, wake me up at
:51:17. > :51:25.half past two every morning. Congratulations. Enjoy the chicken
:51:26. > :51:35.and mushroom tonight. A Bombay bad boy! Now a man who is making his
:51:36. > :51:41.21st consecutive appearance at the Lakeside. It has been a tough 12
:51:42. > :51:46.months for Martin Adams on and off the oche. We sent Bobby George
:51:47. > :51:52.Longford a heart-to-heart. 21 years at the Lakeside. That's a
:51:53. > :52:02.record. No it is, you're right. Three times world champion. What has
:52:03. > :52:10.gone wrong to What can I say, really? Going through a divorce
:52:11. > :52:14.process has a big effect. Lost a lot of weight through the stress. You
:52:15. > :52:18.find you're not playing like you used to. You think you are doing it
:52:19. > :52:26.the same but you are not. You don't seem have that power. A lot of dart
:52:27. > :52:30.players try to lose weight and then you try to get back to the same
:52:31. > :52:35.standard that you had with the weight you have lost. It is very
:52:36. > :52:45.difficult. You're not doing too bad this year. You're looking good!
:52:46. > :52:52.Also, you're going to play an MP. From Canada. That's the one. David
:52:53. > :52:57.Cameron. I haven't heard a thing about him. I have not bothered to
:52:58. > :53:02.research what he has done, how he plays etc. I'm going to take him as
:53:03. > :53:08.he comes. He is the top man from Canada. I'm expecting good things.
:53:09. > :53:11.I'm expecting a good game. You need unknown players you don't know all
:53:12. > :53:17.the time on the circuit. You handle it like that. You haven't really
:53:18. > :53:22.travelled that much. You haven't gone to every tournament like a
:53:23. > :53:32.couple of years ago? No, I haven't. I pick and choose. There are
:53:33. > :53:38.different points systems for different tournaments. That is why
:53:39. > :53:45.you are playing a Canadian, because nobody wants to go there for 400
:53:46. > :53:49.quid. So they play their own tournaments and get qualifiers. It
:53:50. > :53:55.has done you a favour in one way. But if you don't get the points when
:53:56. > :54:01.you do travel, you are in trouble? You get points for the last 64, last
:54:02. > :54:06.32. If you don't make it into the last 32, you have got no points. In
:54:07. > :54:14.category A, you do. Every little helps. This time last year I was on
:54:15. > :54:22.about page 340 of the rankings. I am on page one now. I'm doing well. Is
:54:23. > :54:27.the wolves happy? Yes, the Wolf is very happy at the moment. Things are
:54:28. > :54:32.going well on the dart board and in my personal life. Family's good.
:54:33. > :54:47.Family's healthy. So yes, I'm happy. David, what a way to mark your
:54:48. > :54:53.Lakeside debut against a three-time champion, Martin Adams. And you come
:54:54. > :54:59.here not just as anybody, but as the other David Cameron. How much banter
:55:00. > :55:05.have you had? I have had a little bit from some people about the name.
:55:06. > :55:09.It has not been too bad overall. Will it impact on your nickname?
:55:10. > :55:18.Will you come out as the Prime Minister? No, I'm just going to come
:55:19. > :55:23.out as David Cameron. What does it mean to you to be here on the
:55:24. > :55:26.biggest stage of all? Is my first time participating in this
:55:27. > :55:34.tournament. It is a good feeling. I feel pretty proud to be part of this
:55:35. > :55:39.and represent Canada. So hopefully I will be very successful. You won a
:55:40. > :55:47.couple of titles last year in Canada. Do you believe you have got
:55:48. > :55:53.a chance? Absolutely. 100%. You have two be positive, stay focused and
:55:54. > :55:57.take one game at a time. Have you stopped to think about the noise and
:55:58. > :56:01.the adrenaline and what that moment will feel like when you walk out
:56:02. > :56:05.onto the stage for the first time? At times you think about it. But if
:56:06. > :56:09.you stay focused and try to walk out there and acknowledge the crowd, and
:56:10. > :56:16.let everybody know that you are there to play and try your best. If
:56:17. > :56:20.you are going to win this, you are going to do it the hard way, with
:56:21. > :56:25.Martin and possibly Tony O'Shea in the next round? Absolutely. I look
:56:26. > :56:34.forward to it. It is a great chance. We will see what happens.
:56:35. > :56:39.David Cameron, we had a chat just before he came on air. Did he seem
:56:40. > :56:49.like he was in all of the Lakeside? He is nervous. But he was trying to
:56:50. > :56:54.focus. He will get a one play the dart board. Obviously he is going to
:56:55. > :57:00.be nervous. And he is playing Martin Adams. He could be world champion,
:57:01. > :57:04.we don't know. What is remarkable is there is a three times world
:57:05. > :57:09.champion playing in the preliminary rounds this year. He didn't get the
:57:10. > :57:13.results. He has taken it very graciously. An honest question, is
:57:14. > :57:19.Martin Adams past his best can you regain former glories? I think he
:57:20. > :57:25.could come back and play like he did. That is my opinion. Will he
:57:26. > :57:33.find his form again on this stage will be have a second upset? I have
:57:34. > :57:37.got to go on what I can see on paper. I don't know anything about
:57:38. > :57:44.the bloke from Canada, so I have got to go for Martin Adams. To be fair,
:57:45. > :57:49.you can't see too much these days anywhere, Bobby! You are always
:57:50. > :57:56.complaining about your eyes! Lets get back onto the stage for the
:57:57. > :58:02.second game to date of the 2014 PDO world darts Championships.
:58:03. > :58:12.Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the home of world darts here at the 2014
:58:13. > :58:17.BDO World Championships at Lakeside! We now introduce a preliminary round
:58:18. > :58:22.match and welcome first of all I Canadian regional qualifier. A
:58:23. > :59:20.former Canadian open champion. Welcome, Dave Cameron!
:59:21. > :59:30.Is we now introduce three times when no world Master, three times
:59:31. > :59:34.Lakeside world champion, it is Wolseley, Martin Adams!
:59:35. > :00:27.-- Wolseley. Only at the Lakeside would you get a
:00:28. > :00:33.three times world champion playing against a Canadian called David
:00:34. > :00:40.Cameron. Here are your commentators. COMMENTATOR: Promotion to the BDO
:00:41. > :00:43.front bench for David Cameron who has come up against some hard
:00:44. > :00:47.labour, some eight ranking tournaments brought three victories
:00:48. > :00:55.and the chance to escape the Nova Scotia weather conditions for a
:00:56. > :00:59.chance at glory. Martin Adams's experience, right at the other side
:01:00. > :01:07.of the spectrum. He's here for a 21st consecutive year and his
:01:08. > :01:12.embarking on his 62nd match in the one championships. He has won three
:01:13. > :01:16.quarters of them. Last year, he suffered defeat in the first round,
:01:17. > :01:25.12 months on, The Wolf is bang to his old self. Of course, the prize
:01:26. > :01:33.for these two, the first round meeting with Tony O'Shea.
:01:34. > :01:44.What were you doing in the first week of the New Year in 1994? Martin
:01:45. > :01:53.Adams was making his Lakeside baby. -- Lakeside debut. For the first
:01:54. > :01:59.time, he was throwing darts at the Lakeside which is what Dave Cameron
:02:00. > :02:08.from Canada is doing this afternoon. Cameron admitted he will get nervous
:02:09. > :02:14.in the opening exchanges. He says he just has to focus, get his head
:02:15. > :02:19.down... Get his head Downing Street! Certainly a conservative
:02:20. > :02:34.start for David Cameron! Will be beaten by Jimi Hendrix in
:02:35. > :02:38.the first round last year which was some experience, his first
:02:39. > :02:42.first-round exit in several years, despite having the better average
:02:43. > :02:56.and hitting more honourable members. -- more 180s.
:02:57. > :03:10.Six very loose darts from wealthy. He has let Cameron back into this,
:03:11. > :03:17.exactly what he didn't want to do. . Still no outshot for Martin Adams
:03:18. > :03:26.after 12 darts. He has lost a lot of weight this year. He put that down
:03:27. > :03:32.to stress, but he says he is finally feeling good. And from August
:03:33. > :03:34.onwards, he has been rediscovering the form that made him world
:03:35. > :03:50.champion three times. A chance for a first leg against the
:03:51. > :04:42.darts for the Canadian. He has a very impressive first-round
:04:43. > :04:51.record here at Lakeside, played 20, won 15 including each of the eight
:04:52. > :05:00.prior to his defeat last year. Not just longevity, he wants it 16 180s
:05:01. > :05:02.in a match against Chris Mason, in the late 90s. Is he still lost that
:05:03. > :05:28.much. Good darts from Dave Cameron, down
:05:29. > :05:55.to a finish already. And Adams, that will help.
:05:56. > :06:07.The last dark leaves him with Shanghai 20s if you comes back.
:06:08. > :06:30.A single, a treble and a double all on the 20s.
:06:31. > :06:38.The nerves perhaps taking their toll. Now Wolfie can really strike a
:06:39. > :06:53.psychological... We are sorry to go to this breakdown
:06:54. > :06:56.slide, I am afraid we are experiencing some problems with the
:06:57. > :06:59.World Professional Darts Championships here on BBC One but we
:07:00. > :07:08.will be back with you just as soon as we possibly can.
:07:09. > :07:10.We are back now with the World Professional Darts Championships on
:07:11. > :07:27.BBC One. It goes without saying, it is always
:07:28. > :07:32.good to settle the nerves and get the first leg on the board. Dave
:07:33. > :07:35.Cameron will be mindful of the fact that he has thrown six different
:07:36. > :07:45.double so far and not hit any of them. What do you think his
:07:46. > :07:48.favourite one is? Number Ten? Please let us apologise for the loss of
:07:49. > :07:55.pictures we understand you suffered from a phone. -- from at home.
:07:56. > :07:57.Everything going the way of Martin Adams at the moment. The Wolf on the
:07:58. > :08:25.prowl. 20th anniversary since John Parrott
:08:26. > :08:36.became the first and only Canadian to win this World Professional Darts
:08:37. > :08:37.Championships -- John Part. And he was saying that he is an inspiration
:08:38. > :09:12.to him. No problem at all, Adams nails it
:09:13. > :09:20.and the first set going with the darts.
:09:21. > :09:30.All he has done, Dave Cameron, is lose a set of darts he would have
:09:31. > :09:37.expected to lose because Adams through first but he has missed
:09:38. > :09:45.seven darts at a double in the process of losing that set. And he
:09:46. > :09:49.has yet to register a leg. And those butterflies in the stomach will be
:09:50. > :09:57.beating their wings faster and faster.
:09:58. > :10:02.The scoring through the first nine darts of a leg is actually superior
:10:03. > :10:07.to Martin Adams but look at this... There it is, the first 180 of the
:10:08. > :11:16.match for Wolfie. A big day for Little Richard. A big
:11:17. > :11:23.day for Wolfie as well, hoping to make it through to the first
:11:24. > :11:31.round... He found his range nicely now.
:11:32. > :11:39.The solitary difference between these two men up to this point has
:11:40. > :11:46.been the finishing. Dave Cameron has had seven darts at a double and has
:11:47. > :11:54.not had one of them. Wolfie, four out of six. And that is an excellent
:11:55. > :12:02.percentage. If he can keep that up, Martin Adams. And Dave Cameron will
:12:03. > :12:10.just start hoping to win a leg and go from there. He has lost four in a
:12:11. > :12:20.row. And if anyone is at home on that stage, it is Martin Adams.
:12:21. > :12:35.He made his winning debut in 1994 and he reached the quarterfinals.
:12:36. > :12:37.And here he is, 21 years later... Proving he has still got it with
:12:38. > :12:54.that 180. Dave feeling the pressure, you sense
:12:55. > :13:59.he is getting a bit all over the place at the moment.
:14:00. > :14:08.That has been the problem for Cameron, he's just not able to put
:14:09. > :14:16.any pressure on Martin's first display of wayward finishing which
:14:17. > :14:18.ends with a very solid double 4. Dave Cameron is still looking to get
:14:19. > :14:57.a leg on the board. Good start. To reach Lakeside, Dave Cameron won
:14:58. > :15:05.the Quebec open and the Newfoundland open and reach the semifinals in
:15:06. > :15:12.Saskatchewan, the quarterfinals in Halifax and Canada open. The last 16
:15:13. > :15:16.in Vancouver and my goodness me, he has been around North America
:15:17. > :15:19.picking up ranking points to earn his place on the Lakeside stage.
:15:20. > :15:33.Also played several tournaments in Las Vegas which he says is a blast.
:15:34. > :15:44.His eyes did light up when he was talking about that trip to Vegas.
:15:45. > :16:01.This for a set against the darts and a 2-0 lead. No problem at all. A
:16:02. > :16:11.marked difference to how Wolfie was 12 months ago.
:16:12. > :16:24.Total dominance from the three-time champion. Six legs out of six, two
:16:25. > :16:28.sets out of two. It is not only is finishing that is so impressive,
:16:29. > :16:42.look at the average with his first nine darts. The best part of 15
:16:43. > :16:48.points better than David Cameron. Very impressive finishing statistics
:16:49. > :16:51.to back that up as well. Those seven darts at a double that Cameron
:16:52. > :16:57.missed all came in the first two legs. Since then, he has not had a
:16:58. > :17:00.sniff. You get the feeling the Lakeside crowd is beginning to feel
:17:01. > :17:22.a bit sorry for this Canadian debutant.
:17:23. > :17:34.He has not hit the treble often enough.
:17:35. > :17:43.No such problems for Wolfie. Consistent scoring from the
:17:44. > :18:10.three-time world champion. He will be the first to a finish again.
:18:11. > :18:25.It is just not happening for Cameron.
:18:26. > :18:31.Yes! Yes indeed. Cameron may be struggling but Martin Adams is
:18:32. > :19:10.starting to flow. Take John part out of the equation,
:19:11. > :19:16.Lakeside has not been a happy hunting ground for the Canadians.
:19:17. > :19:19.None have made it to the quarterfinal stage with the
:19:20. > :19:31.exception of John part. It is not to be for him at the
:19:32. > :19:48.moment. Still, Cameron will be first to a
:19:49. > :20:11.finish in this leg, a much needed dart at a double. Good cover.
:20:12. > :20:47.This is David Cameron's first dart at a double since the second leg of
:20:48. > :20:59.the first set. There is. Cameron's favoured number, number ten! Long
:21:00. > :21:12.time since Dave Cameron has had a round of applause like that.
:21:13. > :21:18.Taking it in magnificent spirit but clearly it was a crucial leg for him
:21:19. > :21:27.because he has the darts in this set.
:21:28. > :21:56.He has to break the throw somewhere along the line.
:21:57. > :22:02.Cameron just failed to take advantage of a rare missed
:22:03. > :22:08.opportunity at a treble from Martin Adams. What does Wolfie do? He
:22:09. > :22:50.weighs in with 140. His first maximum. And it just puts
:22:51. > :22:53.a bit of pressure on. And now that little light at the end of the
:22:54. > :23:16.tunnel for Cameron, who surely has to take this out.
:23:17. > :23:20.Takes a moment to compose himself. Martin Adams knows this is
:23:21. > :23:38.important. And he misses. He only needed the one dart. That is
:23:39. > :23:46.two legs in success and having lost the first seven of the match. That
:23:47. > :23:52.one against the darts. So, if he holds here, Cameron has a set. And
:23:53. > :24:25.if he holds here, game on. The last time Martin Adams played an
:24:26. > :24:30.American at Lakeside, he lost in the first round. Roger Carter beat him.
:24:31. > :25:48.That was in 1997. The second time he has missed the
:25:49. > :25:50.bull's-eye in the game, Cameron. A rueful shake of the head because he
:25:51. > :26:02.has left the door open. None of those darts workloads. --
:26:03. > :26:38.workloads. At the fifth time of asking. He
:26:39. > :26:39.snatched at it. The kind of opportunity he cannot afford to give
:26:40. > :27:02.away. No! Is a dart for the set. -- this is is
:27:03. > :27:11.eighth dart for the set. He finally finds it!
:27:12. > :27:33.And here we go. The match now going with the darts again. Cameron knows
:27:34. > :27:38.he has two win against the darts sometime. He is back in it having
:27:39. > :27:46.done exactly that in the third set. Pizza 58 set dart Mrs. -- he
:27:47. > :28:03.survived eight set dart misses. It is rarely easy if you are a
:28:04. > :28:22.Martin Adams fan. That checkout statistic has dropped
:28:23. > :28:30.markedly as far as Martin is concerned. He has lost the last
:28:31. > :28:43.three legs and has missed the darts to win two of those three.
:28:44. > :29:40.Cameron is on a finish. Martin Adams is back in the treble.
:29:41. > :30:04.He stopped the rot. One look at it was all he needed.
:30:05. > :30:10.Perhaps significant that time that he did not have much time to think
:30:11. > :30:22.about it. He did not change the rid of the throw at all. Nailed at the
:30:23. > :30:24.first time of asking. He is not being given an easy ride, all of a
:30:25. > :30:32.sudden. Wayward darts this time from
:30:33. > :30:46.Cameron. Martin could end up playing his
:30:47. > :30:49.400th set of darts on the Lakeside stage this week. If he makes it that
:30:50. > :30:59.far. He was short, could not sneak in
:31:00. > :32:13.underneath. Massive two darts here, and only
:32:14. > :32:26.needed one of them. He breaks back straightaway, which
:32:27. > :32:41.you feel he have to do. Make no mistake, we have got a game on here.
:32:42. > :32:54.Dave Cameron has the throw in this leg but significantly, of the six
:32:55. > :32:59.legs he has had, he has broken Martin Adams as many times as he has
:33:00. > :33:28.had his throw. If Dave Cameron does go on to win,
:33:29. > :33:37.it would make some trivia question, what links Jimmy Hendriks to David
:33:38. > :33:39.Cameron? It was Jimmy Hendriks who beat Adams in round one last year at
:33:40. > :34:01.Lakeside. Plenty of Yorkshire folk down here,
:34:02. > :34:17.Garry Thompson from nearby Silsden in action later.
:34:18. > :34:42.He has done 121, now travel 19 four double 12, how about this?
:34:43. > :34:51.He will be very frustrated with that. And Wolfie is one leg away
:34:52. > :35:00.now, he hits double 16 which has been his friend throughout.
:35:01. > :35:15.The Wolfie whistles has started again at Lakeside.
:35:16. > :36:02.His not easy when your opponent is throwing maximums like that.
:36:03. > :36:16.He needed another treble to leave himself with a finish.
:36:17. > :36:29.A great set of three darts from Cameron there. But look at this.
:36:30. > :36:44.A monumental visit here for Dave Cameron.
:36:45. > :37:02.Are those his last two darts at Lakeside? There it is. He is back.
:37:03. > :37:07.The three times champion beats David Cameron in a preliminary round at
:37:08. > :37:16.Lakeside, Martin Adams is through to round one.
:37:17. > :37:19.Ladies and gentlemen he has come all the way from Canada, let's hear it
:37:20. > :37:24.for David Cameron! And he is now through to the first
:37:25. > :38:21.round, Martin Adams! COLIN MURRAY: Bobby George, first
:38:22. > :38:28.two sets we saw a bit of the old Wolfie. David did not provide much
:38:29. > :38:34.pressure and then he went to sleep for a while. He always makes hard
:38:35. > :38:38.work of it. He should stay on the stage longer. There was a lovely
:38:39. > :38:42.moment because David Cameron was very nervous, he was losing so many
:38:43. > :38:48.of his first darts and when he finally won a leg, they have lived
:38:49. > :38:52.with Wolfie here for two decades, the crowd gave him such a round of
:38:53. > :38:55.applause when he won the first leg. He thought he had won the title.
:38:56. > :39:01.Yellow marker there he goes. Lovely jobless.
:39:02. > :39:05.Everybody knows what he's going through. Everybody on their feet, a
:39:06. > :39:12.wonderful thing to see here at the Lakeside. If you can play good, and
:39:13. > :39:16.he did his best there and the crowd still got behind him. They know he
:39:17. > :39:21.is under pressure, they know he can play better than that. But Martin
:39:22. > :39:27.didn't give him much chance, his finishing was good. It was almost
:39:28. > :39:32.like a game of two halves. Let's bring in Wolfie. He is a relieved
:39:33. > :39:38.man. First of all, as we talk to you with Bobby, which everybody wants at
:39:39. > :39:41.home, before your live game here at the Lakeside, it has been an up and
:39:42. > :39:46.down game, you wanted to rediscover your form and the first few games,
:39:47. > :39:52.you must have been thinking thank the Lord. I was thinking, there is
:39:53. > :39:56.something wrong here, David has not won a leg here and I thought it
:39:57. > :39:59.would be nine straight legs and then I shouldn't stop thinking that. We
:40:00. > :40:08.were talking that last night, weren't we. If you start thinking...
:40:09. > :40:14.But you do that a lot! 100 miles an hour, you could get a puncher. The
:40:15. > :40:21.first seven legs, you were hitting 67% of your doubles, your average
:40:22. > :40:28.was over 90, fantastic stuff. And that is not like Wolfie, to find
:40:29. > :40:32.your confidence and you were looking into the crowd to try to get the
:40:33. > :40:40.energy back up, was there a lot of pressure to avoid going out in a
:40:41. > :40:46.preliminary? People want to see me win and you don't want to let them
:40:47. > :40:54.down. Last year I felt I let them down and another game on Tuesday,
:40:55. > :40:59.happy days. I know you have not won yet, I have been lucky to see some
:41:00. > :41:04.of your winning matches. Outside of finals, did not feel like a big game
:41:05. > :41:10.for you? A massive game. When you have struggled and you have lost
:41:11. > :41:15.weight and tried to learn to play again, you never really know whether
:41:16. > :41:20.it will happen or not. And it happened so I am happy now. I can
:41:21. > :41:26.calm myself down now, I know how to do it! A different next game for
:41:27. > :41:31.you. It will be. You know who that guy is at least. Not the first time
:41:32. > :41:36.we have played. The silverback will be something else. I have to ask you
:41:37. > :41:43.about 2007, a remarkable final, because we lost film exam this year.
:41:44. > :41:52.Very sad. He was much loved, as he walked out to go 6-0 down against
:41:53. > :41:57.you, but he would have done it and a very sad loss. A great man, a very
:41:58. > :42:05.sad loss to the sport and a great darts player. A big loss to darts.
:42:06. > :42:08.The man he was and the way he conducted himself stop I am sure you
:42:09. > :42:15.will say the same, Bobby Roger McGill marker I played him in the
:42:16. > :42:19.world Masters wants, and he didn't complain. I thought I would give him
:42:20. > :42:30.a little kiss for that. You had better get out of the way
:42:31. > :42:35.before you get into trouble, Wolfie. Well done today. Wolfie is through,
:42:36. > :42:39.it has been quite a day so far. We had a blackout and then this
:42:40. > :42:44.happened, the defending champion Scott Waites became the eighth
:42:45. > :42:47.champion to go out in round one defending his title, Alan Norris
:42:48. > :42:52.hardly missed a double on his own throat averaging close to space by
:42:53. > :42:58.95 and the blue lusty's champion away. I'm Martin Adams as we saw
:42:59. > :43:01.just now, beat the Canadian newcomer Dave Cameron in four sets and found
:43:02. > :43:06.a bit of form especially in the early legs and we just found out how
:43:07. > :43:12.big a wind that was for him psychologically, for Martin Adams.
:43:13. > :43:18.At 4:30, Wesley Harms on BBC Two, they call him Sparky which could be
:43:19. > :43:24.handy with blackouts, but he will have to be turned on against Paul
:43:25. > :43:27.Jennings because he has got back-to-back quarterfinals. It is
:43:28. > :43:33.not just the men's tournament that has expanded, they went from 32
:43:34. > :43:40.players starting to 40, the women's has doubled up to 60 and now trying
:43:41. > :43:45.to beat this woman, she came back to the BDO two years ago, Anastasia
:43:46. > :43:54.Dobromyslova, the woman to beat and this time the journey is longer. I
:43:55. > :43:59.would say first of all, six Debbie times, seven different countries.
:44:00. > :44:13.Anastasia back at the Lakeside, give three semifinals, and we will be
:44:14. > :44:20.learning a little as we go but there is the mistaking, the nine times
:44:21. > :44:26.champion, Trina Gulliver now MBE. She has already played their first
:44:27. > :44:32.round, against Tamara Schuur and the Dutch girl is making her Lakeside
:44:33. > :44:35.debut. Familiar against the unpredictable and the new girl is
:44:36. > :44:47.taking an early lead in the first set, we are joining them at 2-0 up.
:44:48. > :44:58.Nervous? What nervous? Having said that...
:44:59. > :45:12.A break is only a break if you hold your own troll, of course.
:45:13. > :45:22.How about that? He barely wayward looking 26. Keeping the pressure on.
:45:23. > :45:45.What has Gulliver got? You cannot have enough Bobby at
:45:46. > :45:55.Lakeside. There is only one Bobby George. I
:45:56. > :45:59.cannot tell you how hot that lady will be in there. The birds will be
:46:00. > :46:29.cooked by ten o'clock. She will be disappointed with that.
:46:30. > :46:35.It gives Tamara Schuur the chance which she looks like she will take.
:46:36. > :46:44.She will take it. Her average through the first nine
:46:45. > :46:48.darts has been excellent. It is the heavy scoring which is doing the
:46:49. > :47:08.damage. And she has an opportunity now. 112 checkout for the first set.
:47:09. > :47:12.Will she be punished? Trina Gulliver needs this. Now
:47:13. > :47:54.finish from there. Three successive legs, one set to
:47:55. > :48:17.the good and now she has the darts. All she has to do is hold her throw.
:48:18. > :48:39.Look at that very wayward dart followed by two excellent darts.
:48:40. > :48:59.Excellent response. Trina's first 140 of the afternoon.
:49:00. > :49:33.Just playing a little bit more quickly now.
:49:34. > :49:52.The standard of finishing has been pretty good from Tamara. Can Trina
:49:53. > :50:08.take it out? Just a glimmer for Tamara.
:50:09. > :51:09.At one stage, Tamara was 160 points behind but still wins the leg.
:51:10. > :51:23.Well, well, well. This has the makings of a big, big shock.
:51:24. > :51:35.That is not the usual standard you expect from Trina Gulliver.
:51:36. > :52:00.Her finishing is three times better than Trina's so far.
:52:01. > :52:06.Trina Gulliver was the inaugural Lakeside champion and has come here
:52:07. > :52:11.every year as sense. She has won the title nine times. She still thinks
:52:12. > :52:18.this is the big one when she walks through the door. But there is
:52:19. > :52:44.something rather jaded about her performance.
:52:45. > :53:25.That dart there was very unlike Trina Gulliver.
:53:26. > :53:53.Having come close to a 164 in the last leg, Trina knows she is under a
:53:54. > :54:05.whole host of pressure. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! 147 checkout.
:54:06. > :54:12.And she is one like away from eliminating the nine time champion.
:54:13. > :54:28.Perhaps we should be focusing on Tamara Schuur and her sensational
:54:29. > :54:32.darts. Nerveless. Every time she throws a slightly wayward darts, she
:54:33. > :55:10.comes back with two or three excellent darts. One like away.
:55:11. > :55:18.She has never lost before the semifinals, Trina Gulliver. She is
:55:19. > :55:43.potentially six darts away. If anybody can deal with the
:55:44. > :55:54.pressure, you would imagine Trina would be able to.
:55:55. > :56:39.Once again it is six darts for the win. The last dart is the hardest.
:56:40. > :56:57.It she can't do it now, she knows she will have another crack.
:56:58. > :57:03.What pressure can Trina apply? How about this then? To knock out
:57:04. > :57:14.the nine times champion in the first round. Tops she needs, tops she
:57:15. > :57:24.gets! Trina Gulliver, the nine times champion, has been beaten and round
:57:25. > :57:31.were on -- round one and beaten by a debutante.
:57:32. > :57:49.That was the first game we were treated to today.
:57:50. > :57:57.She'll asked a short... You have got six debutants sought
:57:58. > :58:04.people will be going up against people they can't prepare for.
:58:05. > :58:09.You don't know who you're playing? Brilliant, isn't it?
:58:10. > :58:15.Not if you're playing them. But it is good for the crowd. In this
:58:16. > :58:23.tournament, you do not know who is going to win. I felt sorry for
:58:24. > :58:30.Trina. We will be going live on BBC Two in
:58:31. > :58:37.a minute or so and will have Wesley Harms versus Paul Jennings. More cup
:58:38. > :58:42.upsets to come? Find out on BBC Two. Thanks for joining us.
