    This documentary tells the complete story of darts from its early beginnings in English pubs in the Middle Ages right through to the dramatic televised competitions of the Embassy World Championship. Presented by the legendary Bobby George, the BBC's face of darts, and narrated by Dougie Donnelly, the film uses a mix of archive footage and stills to tell the early history, before moving on to the televised era from the 1970's onwards.
