Tough at the Top

Wayne Mardle - Showman

Received my copy of We Love Darts, the newest darts magazine on the market, it contains good reading, and brilliant photographs, the reports on both world championships where excellent, and very fair to both the PDC and the BDO, reporting should be unbiased, and We Love Darts has managed to keep to this.

Legend: Eric Bristow was very honest in his summing up of the Lakeside event, when he said "surely to god, with all the countries the BDO's affiliated with, they could have got 32 better players at the Lakeside" of course his statement was right, but I doubt very much the BDO could have assembled players of better quality from the overseas countries.

The PDC have taken the best from most of them, and to be honest a few that made Ally Pally, where no better than super league standard, the saving grace for Lakeside is the fact that not everyone has access to SKY TV, so they are under the impression that the players at Lakeside are indeed the best available, including Adams, and Hanky, everyone who know's anything about darts is aware of Phil Taylor, in fact almost everyone would quote his name if asked who is the best dart player today.

Darts biggest Television audience

Sir Jimmy Saville

I have just been informed, the biggest TV viewing audience for a darts match was: John Lowe v Emma Stonner, on the Christmas Special, Jim L Fix It, in 1984, Emma was 91 years old and still played in her local league, ITV found out her idol was myself.

I remember it well, Sid Waddell was the darts MC for the match, the TV props guys had provided Emma with a trick pint of her favourite tipple, Guiness, when she took a sip, the glass half emptied, there was a sleeve within the pint. so only half an inch round the side was full, making it look like a full pint, half way through the game of 501, Emma picked up the glass and took a sip, when she came back from the board, she looked at her glass and noticed it appeared to be almost empty, she turned to Sid and said "I know what's happening, you are drinking my Guiness when I am throwing" the whole theatre was in uproar.

There are a few special things that happen in your life time, meeting Emma Stonner was one of those.

The match was watched by over 20 million viewers.
