People’s Darts Update
John Smith’s People’s Darts Update
SE Regional Finals, Frimley Green, 30th November 2008.
In case you were wondering, Monk’s Head pub rep Tim Allchin progressed seamlessly to the third round before he got pulverized in straight legs by some talentless nobody. Never mind, eh?
Well, the People’s Darts people have at last got a couple of official videos of the event posted on their site. And by some miracle of editing that’s beyond human normalcy, both Tim and stunt-double Jim Walker have cameo roles in both vids. Egad!
You have to be sharp-eyed to spot the dynamic duo, so here’s a clue:
- in video #1 (‘Bobby George’) it’s 00:23
- in video #2 (‘Chace’) it’s 01:01
You can watch the 2-minute movies at the John Smith’s People’s Darts videos page.
Note: at the time of writing this, I could only get the vids to show with Internet Explorer — for some reason Firefox and Opera just blanked out.
Also, yours truly eventually got round to firing up Windows Movie Maker (I know, it sucks) and splicing together our own ‘official’ vid of Tim’s big day out. Here ya go… crank up your sound and get rockin’ and rollin’.
Finally, thanks go to Tim for having the balls to go through with it, to Jim for moral support, and last but by no means least, to Tony for providing transport and other sundry entertainment. 
The BDO World Pro Darts Championship finals are under way this week at Lakeside, with extensive coverage on BBC TV. People’s Darts and BDO finals are on Sunday 11th.
