Description

Niall Edworthy's year-long account of the darts world focuses on up-and-coming star Colin Lloyd, one of the sport's more intriguing characters. Through him, he shows how top darts players live their lives, how they train and what they do away from the board. He also finds out just who goes to watch darts and what sort of groupies the sport attracts. A lost sport, darts is also the most popular participatory activity in the country, played by some of the most colourful personalities you could hope to meet. This is a comic, fly-on-the-wall account of a strange slice of British life.
