Title: Fred Dinenage
Fred introduces this final programme a retrospective of highlights of the series. Fred begins by a look at how the relatively unknown American professional darts player Nicky Virachkul performed during the series. The film clip shows him playing against Swedish professional Stefan Lord. Commentary is from Dave Lanning and Cliff Larazenko. Nicky beats Stefan Lord in spectacular fashion.
Back in the studio Fred introduces a clip showing Alan Evans the Welsh professional against his great rival English professional Eric Bristow. Commentator Dave Lanning is joined by Scots professional Rab Smith to assess the performance of these players. Eric Bristow won the match and eventually the tournament.
Fred then shows all those in the professional tournament who scored maximum points. Those points also meant the same in prize money for anyone who managed to do it. The first is Cliff Lazarenko, followed by Alan Evans. Leighton Rees, then Alan Rees again, with Cliff Lazarenko again. John Lowe hits 180 followed by Nicky Virachkul, followed by five maximums from Eric Bristow which earned him £900.
Back in the studio Fred brings the review of the professional tournament to an end which featured the official top 8 players in the world.
Fred moves on to the pro-celebrity championship which will follow the commercial break.

Title: Part Two
In the studio Fred introduces some clips of Diane Keen who he had invited to take part in the tournament. Although having not played before he says, she was keen to compete. Views follow of her in the tournament, playing alongside Alan Evans against John Lowe and Liz Fraser. In one leg she throws the winning dart, and a huge cheer is given by the audience. However, Diane and Alan were beaten and knocked out of the tournament.
Next Liz Fraser and John Lowe are shown playing against Cliff Lazarenko and Phil Bennett in the final. Fred shows the last leg of the match which Cliff Lazarenko wins for the team.
The programme goes back to Fred Dinenage in the studio who sums up the final outlining the match prizes. Liz Fraser and John Lowe shared £750 second prize money. Phil Bennett did not receive prize money to preserve his amateur status as a rugby union player. Cliff Lazarenko’s prize money is not mentioned but he was happy to be on the winner’s rostrum.
Fred closes the programme by thanking all those who took part and provided the prize money!
The end credits start over a static photo of champion Eric Bristow
