Today, discipline is key to sporting success but in the golden era of darts the greatest players mixed extraordinary skill at the oche with heavy drinking, chain-smoking, and an open door policy to fans and the media alike. Yet, it was this combination of skill and raw, unfiltered personality that brought in television audiences of 8 million and created some of the most memorable characters in sporting history. Against a backdrop of rising unemployment and unrest in 1980s Britain, darts brought hope and energy to British audiences. Join us as we explore the incredible journey of three of the greatest names in darts, charting their rise, rivalries, heartache and triumphs through the 1970s, '80s and '90s. See less
