00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:30APPLAUSE
00:34Now then, and a welcome to the last programme in the present series.
00:52Today we're featuring some of the thrills and kills we've seen over the past three months,
00:56a kind of look-backing languor.
00:58And to help me get in a nice relaxed mood, we brought the cameras to my house,
01:02here at Flasby in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
01:04The first action we're going to look at is arm wrestling.
01:07And who'll ever forget the eventual right-handed winner,
01:09the British heavyweight lifting champion, Tony Fitton.
01:12What a scream he turned out to be.
01:14Oh, come on, Tony. Get along!
01:17CHEERING
01:19Sitton felt it unnecessary to shout his way to success in the semi-finals,
01:33but he was back in full cry for the final against Leeds.
01:37Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
01:57Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go
02:27one winner from the start. Bill Richardson, a right-hander, but as ambidextrous as my old mate
02:31Brian Close. The malevolent glare reminded me of Close here as well.
02:57More!
03:07Pull back all the time and try to defend theDERGISLATION.
03:25And he decided to celebrate by parading his pectorals.
03:47It's often said, nice guys don't win in sport.
03:50Well, in the American pool, one of the friendliest folks around did.
03:53Ray Edmonds, the world amateur snooker champion.
03:58And now it's Willie Thorne, fighting for his life in this final.
04:06He now has a choice.
04:09He put each colour in and he now has a choice.
04:13He can elect whatever colour he wishes to go in.
04:15He's elected to go on the pinks.
04:18And that means he's two away to one for Edmonds
04:21because the ball he put down still counts for Edmonds.
04:26This is a start Ray Edmonds must have dreamt about,
04:28but certainly didn't get last year.
04:31Three.
04:31As Willie Thorne dominated the final from start to finish.
04:35Four.
04:35However, Edmonds is one up this year.
04:41Five.
04:42Willie Thorne now looks as though he's going to clean the board
04:45if he can get position on this last ball,
04:48which apparently he does.
04:51Yes.
04:51Six.
04:53Brilliance.
04:56A brilliance which Edmonds was quite aware of
04:59and realised could happen at any moment.
05:02There he comes back up the table now
05:04in the hope to get behind,
05:05get behind.
05:07The crowd are roaring their approval
05:09as Thorne Alexis' left-hand bottom pocket.
05:14And the crowd erupted
05:16as that ball stuck in the mouth of the pocket,
05:19right on the lip.
05:21Now it's Edmonds.
05:22If he can clear his,
05:24if he can clear those balls,
05:26then he certainly
05:27would have no trouble
05:29in seeking the bogey ball
05:30from its present position.
05:34He most certainly will close the gap.
05:36There's no doubt about that.
05:38And it looks as though
05:38he's going to get into this
05:39bottom pocket
05:41and move the bogey ball.
05:44However,
05:45it would appear
05:46that he had very little alternative
05:47with Thorne clear
05:50and on the bogey ball.
05:53He's coming back up
05:54for position up here.
05:56Seven five.
05:57It's a battle of the masters
05:58right now,
05:58as one can see.
06:00Edmonds is duplicating
06:01the performance of Thorne
06:03from the start of this game.
06:05That is clearing the table.
06:07Although he's not happy with that,
06:08I'm sure.
06:09He had no intention
06:10of being in that position.
06:14If he can get this
06:15and get behind the bogey ball,
06:16he can do it.
06:18He didn't leave himself
06:19for a very good shot.
06:23And now he's left Thorne
06:25with a very difficult shot.
06:27The snook of parlance,
06:28it could be almost safe.
06:30Seven six.
06:31But with Willie Thorne,
06:32you never know.
06:34He joked about that.
06:35He had no intention
06:36of going up and down the table.
06:38I should think he'll probably
06:40consider a double
06:41of some kind here.
06:44Unless he elects
06:44to play it safe.
06:47He is going to do it.
06:49On the contrary,
06:50he's elected the bottom
06:51right-hand pocket
06:51and up and down the table.
06:54Yes.
06:57Now he's left it.
06:59He's left it to Edmonds.
07:01He's left it to Edmonds.
07:03And Edmonds is taking...
07:04He's left it to Edmonds.
07:09And Edmonds is taking
07:10no chances.
07:15And there's the game level.
07:17What a wonderful match.
07:19As they both...
07:20Over the years,
07:22we've messed the bar billet rules
07:23about a bit.
07:23We've pushed the mushrooms
07:25further up the table
07:26and introduced a 45-second
07:27maximum break limit.
07:29The champion,
07:29Roy Buckel,
07:30illustrates why.
07:3144.
07:32The ball's dropped there
07:33just as a referee
07:35shouted break over.
07:361,980.
07:39Roy Buckel,
07:411,810.
07:42150 score.
07:44So with that...
07:45300.
07:46...last shot there,
07:49Roy Buckel
07:49goes back in.
07:52450.
07:53And he can't get the balls
07:54on fast enough.
07:56Can't Buckel,
07:57you can watch him.
07:58He's rushing them here.
08:01600.
08:03And so all the good work
08:04that Holman did
08:05to get back into the game.
08:06650.
08:07Buckel is now back
08:08in front,
08:09taking his toe.
08:10But he's...
08:11Oh, I couldn't miss
08:12when it went in.
08:12750.
08:16Oh.
08:19780.
08:21Another 800 break
08:22coming up here.
08:23880.
08:26And Roy Buckel's got
08:28right over the top.
08:29So he's a chance here.
08:29Roy Buckel,
08:301,050.
08:32And he's got them both in
08:33so this could now
08:34start to warm up
08:35this game.
08:36As Roy Buckel,
08:37you'll see him,
08:38he practically
08:38rushes the balls.
08:40300.
08:41Can't get the red bag
08:42quick enough.
08:46450.
08:47650.
08:53600.
08:54600 break now,
08:55so he's coming
08:56right back into the game.
08:58And then 750.
08:59750.
09:02Chance of a 900 break here.
09:04Now he's made this.
09:05800 instead.
09:06800.
09:09900.
09:10900.
09:10950.
09:15Break ended at 950.
09:17Puts him right back in the game,
09:19Roy Buckel.
09:21And here we go
09:21for the final
09:22of the Indoor League
09:23Bar-Billy's Championship
09:24with Roy Buckel
09:26last year's
09:26All-England runner-up
09:27taking first strike.
09:29His opponent
09:29will be
09:30Alan Sayles.
09:31150.
09:36And this is where
09:37the good start
09:38will be so important.
09:39300.
09:40Because there's no
09:41comeback on this,
09:42it's sudden death.
09:47450.
09:53600.
09:53650.
10:02750.
10:07800.
10:13900.
10:1445 seconds,
10:15Roy Buckel,
10:16the way to
10:17900 break.
10:20Our break's longer
10:21than 45 seconds,
10:22but in just a couple
10:23of minutes,
10:24I'll be back
10:24with darts.
10:26Nice cup of coffee
10:27for you, Fred.
10:28Thank you, dear.
10:29All right.
10:31Come on, sonny.
10:34I'll say there.
10:52You're doing that.
10:53I'll say there.
10:54You're doing that.
10:56You're doing that.
10:57You're doing that.
10:58You're doing that.
10:59You're doing that.
10:59I'll see.
11:16Come on, sonny.
11:16You're doing this.
11:17I can't see there.
11:19WHISTLE BLOWS
11:49Even though she didn't win it, my most fond memory of the Lassers was Jean Smith, that amiable eccentric from Bristol.
11:5554 now, Jean Smith for this quarterfinal. And that's one to us. That's 18. She wants double 18.
12:07In the end, it was hats off to the national ladies' champion, Jean Dickinson of Stockport, who upset the odds by beating favourite Brenda Simpson in a close final. It went to three legs.
12:19Brenda Simpson. Still looks a bit jumpy. One scored. 21.
12:3141.
12:3341.
12:35Jean Dickinson, well she really let her off the hook in that second leg. She had so many chances to win the title. Threw it away. Can she really get herself back together?
12:4540.
12:47The dart hit the wire and fell eight and Jean drew her breath in in a colossal great sigh of agony. Brenda Simpson.
12:5540.
12:57And another one hits the wire and almost spears her.
13:0140.
13:0240 scored.
13:03So, not a great deal in the scores at the moment.
13:07Jean Dickinson is 40 behind, but she has the board to herself at the moment.
13:1360.
13:1460 scored.
13:15So, we can see now that there's very little in it at all.
13:17250.
13:18256 around the place.
13:20279.
13:21So, just 18 or so scoring, but Brenda Simpson hammering the trebles, picking them out.
13:2780 scored.
13:28That's a lot.
13:29140.
13:30One of the better scores.
13:33She somehow squeezed it in between her second dart and the wire.
13:38That was a good score and that's made a lot of difference.
13:40She now needs 139 and that is a shot out.
13:42In fact, there's two shots out for this.
13:44123.
13:45And Jean Dickinson replies with 123.
13:49And now we are beginning to take off.
13:51139.
13:52139.
13:5357, 42.
13:54Double top.
13:55She's got three.
13:57She's got...
13:58Is that 23?
13:59It's so difficult to tell.
14:0027.
14:01Come on, Jean.
14:02Jean, you require 133.
14:04So, 133 for Jean Dickinson.
14:07That's 20.
14:09113.
14:10She wants an odd one.
14:1324 score.
14:14I thought that was a triple 20, but anyway, she wanted an odd one and she got one.
14:19So, Brenda Simpson needing 112.
14:22That's 20.
14:24That's 40.
14:27That's good scoring.
14:28Well, she's lost a flight.
14:3060.
14:3160 scored.
14:32Very steady.
14:33Jean Dickinson.
14:34109.
14:35109.
14:36She's come down the bottom looking for a 57, 12 double top.
14:40Hasn't got it though.
14:41She's got 27.
14:4247.
14:43She has 47.
14:44Oh, Brenda Simpson now.
14:45Drawing breath because she wants 52.
14:4652.
14:47Which is 20.
14:48Two 16s for this title.
14:49That's the 20.
14:50Double 16.
14:51There it is.
14:52Are we going to see the wrap up?
14:53Are we going to see the climax from Brenda Simpson?
14:55Last start.
14:56That's close.
14:57Oh.
14:58And it's next door.
14:59It's in the double 80.
15:00You could hear her groan all over Leeds.
15:0162.
15:0262 going then for Jean Dickinson.
15:09She wants 52.
15:10That's the right way to go.
15:11She went for three 10s.
15:12What's that?
15:13Is it outside?
15:14Is it outside?
15:1534 scored.
15:1628 left.
15:1728.
15:18It is in double 12.
15:19She wants two 14s.
15:20What an unusual way to go.
15:21Two 14s.
15:22What an unusual way to go.
15:23Two 14s.
15:24Is it outside?
15:25Is it outside?
15:2634 scored.
15:2728 left.
15:2828.
15:29It is in double 12.
15:30She wants two 14s.
15:31What an unusual way to go.
15:32Two 14s.
15:33Look at the worry on her face.
15:34It's unbelievable.
15:35Oh.
15:36Again.
15:37It's so close.
15:38And everybody drew breath.
15:39Everybody thought it was there.
15:40And caught their breath.
15:41The cheer died stillborn.
15:43As Brenda Simpson comes on looking for two eights to win this title.
15:47And it's unbearable.
15:49Come on.
15:50Brenda Simpson.
15:52Two eights.
15:54About half an inch too wide.
15:57Too many.
15:58That's it.
15:59Two 11s.
16:00So now Jean Dickinson's chance to put us on the rack.
16:05And she wants two sevens.
16:08Two sevens she wants.
16:10And that is it.
16:11She's done it.
16:12She's done it.
16:13She's done it.
16:14She's done it.
16:15She is the belle of the ball.
16:17The lady has won the title after the most nerve-wracking dance tournament I think anybody
16:24here at Interleague has ever seen.
16:27My word.
16:28The release.
16:29Score 118 darts.
16:30It's always an achievement.
16:31In the men's championships this series a total of seven were notched.
16:35As well as countless 140s.
16:37The maximums are always worth seeing again.
16:40Let's have a look at the way he throws.
16:43USA champion Conrad Daniels was the first.
16:45He almost puts him in doesn't he?
16:47But he has got a super style and it's very effective.
16:50That's three 20s to start with.
16:52That's another.
16:53Can he do the 180?
16:54It's on now.
16:55Yes he has.
16:56Well Riddler is now just 20 behind.
17:02Welshman Tony Riddler followed suit in the same game.
17:05Do this and sneak back into the lead.
17:07It looks like a three 20s on again and he's done it.
17:10And the 180s are rolling off here like something out of a production line.
17:15His opponent Dougie Priestner from Wiltshire.
17:17Dougie Priestner of England did it with his first three darts just like last year.
17:22He may well.
17:23Can we see history?
17:24180.
17:25Can we see history repeating itself?
17:28Unbelievable.
17:29Alan Glazier coming into this.
17:31Then Alan Glazier got in on the act.
17:33Well Peter Chapman really came from the back there to take that first leg.
17:36How do you think it's going to affect Alan psychologically?
17:38Well it'll make him trouble the harder because knowing the both players that they're both brilliant.
17:43180.
17:44Another 180 to start with.
17:47Leighton Rees.
17:49Then reigning champion Leighton Rees joined the club.
17:53Individual champion of Wales.
17:56And a good scorer.
17:58180!
17:59A superb scorer.
18:00The maximum 180.
18:03Absolute haired breath.
18:05And finally former world master Cliff English got two on the trot.
18:10A maximum on.
18:12Yes.
18:13180!
18:14Yes, yes, yes.
18:15Terrific darts.
18:16They're rolling them off now.
18:19Where do we see darts like this?
18:22My word.
18:23Only in indoor league.
18:25So now he's taken the lead Cliff English with that 180.
18:27He's now gone.
18:2880 in front.
18:30So Glazier has got to come back.
18:3220.
18:3780.
18:38That's the treble.
18:39Can he get another one?
18:40100!
18:41100!
18:42What a superb ding dong battle this is.
18:45So Cliff English just done 180.
18:48The maximum.
18:49There's another treble.
18:52And another one.
18:53Can he do it twice on the trot?
18:55What a superb ding dong!
18:58Oh!
18:59Blimey O'Reilly!
19:05The eventual winner was one of those six players.
19:07Conrad Daniels of the United States.
19:09We all knew he was good.
19:10But we didn't expect him to carry the crown across the Atlantic.
19:13But no one could argue with his class.
19:15Especially in the first round against Tony Riddler.
19:18Dropped out of the big time for a while now.
19:21Back with a vengeance.
19:2299!
19:23Gets 99 there.
19:24He's a Welsh international.
19:27Well, there's Conrad Daniels.
19:29The old smuggler all-star team.
19:33Ha ha!
19:34Jim lad.
19:35The old smuggler.
19:36Hoping to bring home a few barrels of rum here.
19:39Win this big title, no doubt.
19:41Seem to be losing a lot of darts today.
19:43Morty!
19:44Shhh!
19:45Seem to be hitting the wire and bouncing out.
19:47Still.
19:48Riddler.
19:49Newport.
19:50Now a professional player.
19:53Three and a half hours a day he plays.
19:55His ambition is to play for Great Britain.
19:57Former Wells News of the World Champion.
19:58Wells individual runner-up for three years.
20:00Newport singles champion.
20:01Done an awful lot in a short time this boy.
20:04Conrad Daniels.
20:05Let's just have a look at the way he throws.
20:06Because it's a very distinctive throw.
20:07He really takes his time.
20:08He leans for it.
20:09He always puts him in, doesn't he?
20:11But he has got a super style in it.
20:13It's very effective.
20:14That's three twenties to start with.
20:16That's another.
20:17Can he do the 180?
20:18It's on now.
20:19Yes, he has.
20:20What a super throw.
20:23Three treble.
20:2420.
20:25So he's down at 140.
20:26And Conrad Daniels, the yank, is really setting indoor league on fire.
20:30Riddler.
20:31He too has a distinctive throw.
20:3244 score.
20:33And he gets 44 score.
20:34140 now for Conrad Daniels.
20:35He's only had 12 darts so far.
20:36So this has been one of the most sensational legs we've seen.
20:38140 all the 20s.
20:39Let's see what he does.
20:40That's one of them.
20:41Moves across.
20:42Needs the treble now.
20:43Looks like, too, though, it's shadowed and shrouded a bit.
20:46Can't quite see.
20:4755.
20:48No, it's a five.
20:49It's a 15, in fact.
20:50Three five.
20:51So he's now down on 85.
20:52And Riddler needs 263.
20:53Needs a big score very badly.
20:55140.
20:56Oh, yes, 140.
20:57That's very useful.
20:58But 85.
20:59One I do require.
21:0085.
21:01315's double top.
21:02Would be his shot.
21:04Oh, no, no.
21:05No, no.
21:06No, no.
21:07No, no.
21:08No, no.
21:09No, no.
21:10No, no.
21:11No, no.
21:12No, no.
21:13No, no.
21:14No, no.
21:15No, no.
21:16No, no.
21:17No, no.
21:18No, no.
21:19No, no.
21:20No, no.
21:21No.
21:22No.
21:23No.
21:24No.
21:25But he goes an unusual way, this boy.
21:27He does it all his own way.
21:2970.
21:3070 he needs.
21:33He's gone up.
21:34Has he got a 54?
21:36I think it is.
21:37I think it is.
21:38He wants to right.
21:39And he's got it.
21:40What a good shot out.
21:41What an unconventional shot out.
21:42But he's still got it.
21:44My word.
21:46Conrad Daniels, who, by the way, has just been voted America's number one.
21:50We get quite a few tributes paid to us, but now it's a musical one.
21:54Composed and sung by Keith Swift.
21:56Well, Fred comes home from work on Friday, has his dinner and he goes upstairs.
22:03Into the bathroom has a shave and then puts brill cream on his hair.
22:07Out of the bathroom into the bedroom opens up the wardrobe door, gets out his best suit
22:13And this flat cap all dressed up is now prepared.
22:1618, 19, double top.
22:21One big score.
22:22You've won a lot in door league.
22:28See how they win and we'll all see city again.
22:35The clock moves round half past seven, gets his darts, feathers all trim, walks up to his
22:40lotel slowly.
22:41Semi-final night for him.
22:45Sandwiches are on the bar, pint pot filled up to the brim.
22:48It takes a sip and has a practice.
22:51It's nigh on certain they'll beat you in.
22:5418, 19, double top.
22:58One big score.
22:59You've won a lot in door league.
23:05See how they win and we'll all see city again.
23:20It could have been good at many games, skittles and American pool.
23:24Or had a go at one arm wrestling, but his throwing arm might be sent off true.
23:29Fred became our village champion, district trophies he would win.
23:34When he got on indoor league, you should have seen his darts floating.
23:38And it's 18, 19, double top.
23:43One big score.
23:44You've won a lot in door league.
23:49See how they win and we'll all see city again.
23:56Championship now in his pocket.
23:58Everybody's heard to say in evening dress throwing silver darts.
24:03That's the way it should be played.
24:06Fred has gone from rags to riches winning at this noble art.
24:10He swapped his pint pot for a tankard.
24:12And now he's a TV star.
24:15And it's 18, 19, double top.
24:20One big score.
24:21You've won a lot in door league.
24:26See how they win and we'll all see city again.
24:35I don't know who that fella's supposed to be, do you, Veronica?
24:41There used to be a man who played cricket.
24:43Fred looked a bit like that.
24:44Just watch it, young lady.
24:45You're asking for trouble.
24:47Anyway, that's all from this series of indoor league.
24:50But don't worry.
24:51Already we're gathering the best around for another series with an international flavour.
24:55For the last time for a while, I'll see thee.
25:02For the last time.
25:03For the last time.
25:04For the last time.
25:05Let's do it.
25:06For the last time.
25:07To be allowed.
25:08I'll see you next time.
25:09I'll see you next time.
25:10Bye.
25:11Bye.
25:12Bye.
25:13Bye.
25:15Bye.
25:16Bye.
25:17Bye.
