Award for best drama goes to desperate dartswives
Forget the wags, when it comes to wives wearing the trousers, darts wins hands down.

I got it wrong. Last year I dismissed the British Darts Organisation's World Championship as Stalinist (for pretending Phil "the Power" Taylor doesn't exist) and appalling (for its quality). Well, sod Phil the Power, sod glasnost, sod quality, sod Sophocles. This is drama in its purest form.
Sunday 6pm and Martin "Wolfie" Adams loped into the arena to the sound of Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf. Phill "the man they call Nixie" Nixon entered to We Will Rock You. Adams, a dead ringer for his namesake Gerry, is No1 in the revisionist world; Nixon, an unemployed house-husband with eight kids has spent the past 20 years trying to qualify for Lakeside - he's such an outsider (150-1) that he doesn't even have a proper nickname.
Wolfie went 6-0 up...
