Is it live on the rest?
See people watching streams rather than the delayed coverage.

Stale, stale, stale.

Already knowing the results into the bargain.

No thanks.

Jacqui Oatley is the new darts and sport presenter for ITV4...not sure when she officially starts though.

Maybe the ones (Dubai?) were it's just 8 selected players may hold little interest for some, but surely the others with national qualifiers (Japan is one of those I think) will be good to watch?
