Description

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz - the home of all British TV

Made for video, Autumn 2002
The complete story of darts, from it's early beginnings in English pubs in the middle ages through to the dramatic televised competitions of the present day.
Presented by Bobby George and narrated by Dougie Donnelly, the programme uses a mix of archive footage and stills to tell the early history,before moving on to concentrate mainly on highlights of what was then known as the Embassy World Darts Championship.
The Crafty Cockney, Eric Bristow ruled darts in the 80's, winning the Embassy title five times. but Bristow's domination was occasionally challenged by other legends of the board, most notably Jocky Wilson, Keith Deller, John Lowe and Phil Taylor, whose epic victory over Mike Gregory in 1992 is said to be one of the greatest games ever played.
The programme is brought right up to date (2002 anyway) with Raymond Barneveld's successive titles in 1998 and 1999 and Tony David's 2002 victory, including his semi-final with Martin Adams.
There are also highlights from other championships such as the News of the World and the Winmau and the first ever live televised 9 darter (Shaun Greatbatch 2002 Dutch open)
{Information from Video Sleeve}
There are two files because the programme was split across two videotapes - even though the total running is only just over two and a half hours... perhaps it would have been longer if Sky had given the programme's producers permission to include PDC highlights as they had apparantly once intended to do.
