Bullseyes and Beer: When Darts Hit Britain (HD)
BBC Timeshift tells the story of how a traditional working-class pub game became a national obsession during the 1970s and 80s, and looks at the key role television played in elevating its larger-than-life players into household names.
Siobhan Finneran narrates a documentary which charts the game's surprising history, its cross-class and cross-gender appeal, and the star players that, for two decades, transformed a pub pastime into a sporting spectacle like no other.
Featuring legendary names such as Alan Evans and Jocky Wilson and including contributions from Eric Bristow, Bobby George, John Lowe and Phil Taylor.

Wonderful footage. Eric was the leader of the revolt against the BBC and the establishment of the PDC, which resulted in darts becoming a big-time sport. He was a great champion.
Amazing archival footage. Surprised the BBC didn't wipe out the tapes so that they could be reused like they did with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
I loved this documentation, had to watch it for school, but was very positivly suprised by the documentation.

What a stunning atmosphere that must have been. Even today's PDC crowds seem boring in comparison.
It's funny, I watched darts on the TV in the 70s ... and it's the same lads still doin' it!
Thanks for posting. Great documentary.

Блин, как жалко что подобных фильмов нет в русском переводе...(((( Русские полиглоты, может переведете? xD
Anyone think john Lowe looks like IT the clown
жаль на русском языке подобных фильмов нет, своего спорта у нас нет, так хоть за других бы порадовались)

Quite a few of the pubs I go in have got rid of their dart boards in the past few years.

Not as good as the itv4 documentary. Didn't want to pay the clip money to sky, to give a full picture of darts.
