Helen Chamberlain certainly knows her arrows

Last night i was at the PDC World Darts Final at Ally Pally - lots of fun, lots of beer bellies.

Here's the message i sent to my CD


Helen Chamberlain, she of Soccer AM, was sitting opposite me with a couple of mates.

This is her

Anyhoo, i asked my soon-to-be-brother-in-law Thomas, how the cameramen know when a player is 'going down for 19s' and Chamberlain piped up with an answer.

In short, Bristow and Deller are behind the scenes telling the cameramen what the likely next shot is. And there was me thinking that all there was to offer a retired Pro darts player was a pub lardlordship (i meant landlord but perhaps this name is more appropriate) hustling unsuspecting punters in games of 101.

Thanks Helen - there's no need to be so mardy when you're asked who scored for Torquay though!
