Bullseyes and Beer: When Darts Hit Britain
Timeshift, Series 14 Episode 3 of 7
Timeshift tells the story of how a traditional working-class pub game became a national obsession during the 1970s and 80s, and looks at the key role television played in elevating its larger-than-life players into household names.
Siobhan Finneran narrates a documentary which charts the game's surprising history, its cross-class and cross-gender appeal, and the star players that, for two decades, transformed a pub pastime into a sporting spectacle like no other.
Featuring legendary names such as Alan Evans and Jocky Wilson and including contributions from Eric Bristow, Bobby George, John Lowe and Phil Taylor.
This is nice, a darting facebook friend of mine who organisers a few events etc posted a pic from Jamie Caven's Darts Academy Christmas Party. Ian White dressed as an elf and Adrian Lewis dressed as Santa to entertain the kiddies. What a lovely thing that is. Shows the class of those two guys in my book.
First night is pretty good as well, the first round of this is usually about 90% of the games being forgone conclusions but Part V Brown and Klassen V Kist are even 50-50 games for me.
Oh and quick last plug for the PDC prediction league, everyone welcome
Well, think we're about to witness the highlight of the Championships so far - Wayne and Eric are being let loose on the big touchscreen during the preview show!

He has been saying he would do it for a while. Trying to break the record for the most back and forth moves.
