Isn't the actual production outsourced by the BDO. Didnt think the BBC or BT were behind the production of the world championships.

Scott Waites was interviewed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Letterman's replacement).
Must be one of the most bizarre bookings ever! |

If the new rights holders in 2017 (or BT if they want to take on the whole thing) want to carry on using IMG, that is totally up to them. Don't see why they wouldn't though, bar the 300 microphones right next to the board they don't do a bad job of it. |

The annus horribilis for the BDO continues. Refunds from the guy tasked with organising the new events have been cancelled, including one in four figures to the Heart of Darts charity, so the chairman has now gone to the police after promises from the BDO that all money would be refunded have now gone broken
And the next event in five weeks and three days still has no tickets on sale for it.... |

Tonight and next week at 9pm on BBC2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27...s_2_.282016.29 Quote:
Gabby Logan hosts an exciting winner-takes-all tournament for Sport Relief, as some of the biggest names in the world of darts join forces with comedians and celebrities to battle it out for the title of Let's Play Darts for Sport Relief Champions 2016. The celebrities vying to lift the trophy this year are Greg Davies, Mike Tindall, Katherine Ryan, Jon Richardson, Robbie Savage, Rizzle Kicks's Jordan Stephens and Kate Humble. 2015's defeated finalist Tim Vine also returns to Lakeside, Frimley Green, in another attempt to win the title. Professional darts players in the tournament include Martin 'Wolfie' Adams, Scotty 'Dog' Mitchell, Bobby George 'The King of Bling', Deta 'The Dark Destroyer' Hedman and Andy 'The Viking' Fordham. In the first quarter-final, Greg 'The Abominable Throwman' Davies and 'Wolfie' Adams take on Jordan 'The Dartbreaker' Stephens and Anastasia Dobromyslova for a place in the semi-finals. In the second quarter-final, it's the turn of Katherine 'Moose Knuckles' Ryan and Andy 'The Viking' Fordham to go up against Mike 'The Titan' Tindall and Scotty 'Dog' Mitchell. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07233jb TV Forum thread http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2138421 |

Last year they had Lee Mack, Tim Vine and Richard Osman who are all known darts lovers. Not sure about this lot, apart from Vine. |

The second event in the fantastic "New Era" has been cancelled

RIP Martin. For all he stood for, which is a lot I certainly don't, he was still somebody husband, father, granddad, brother etc
