“There can be only one word for it: magic theatre.”
There is a world that can transport us from the ordinary to the extraordinary, where we are one perfect throw away from greatness, a place where we can all be champions. That world is darts.
Through this noble sport, Alex Elliott asks the unfathomable question: “What does it mean to be best in the world?”
Join him on a hilarious, occasionally heroic and heart-warming journey, featuring true stories of success, live darts and celebrations of our own personal triumphs. Motivational bananas included.
Who knows? You might be the best audience in the world.
