Yorkshire Darts on TV

[JohnL.]

Back in the early to mid 80's I can remember watching Yorkshire Darts (No trebles, no outer bull) being played on TV, although I wasn't all that old at the time. It wasn't a repeat of 'The Indoor League' as it used the split screen, and I'm pretty sure that it was on 'Grandstand', and may have been a filler for something that had been rained off.
Anyone know what this might have been?

May have been a regional thing? Or could have been a one off?

Wouldn't have been regional as I was in London, although might have been originally just local then used for fill for something else.

it sounds like something ITV would have done

May have been World of Sport and not Grandstand I guess. ITV did include Yorkshire darts in the first couple of years of 'The Indoor League' before they switched to a standard board and got name players in. 'The Indoor League' of course the brainchild of Sid Waddell.

Yep, Winmau do a selection of specialist boards the Lincoln board is the same as the Yorkshire but all black. Personally I'm hoping to get a London Five's board. Being from the sauf like.
Fred Trueman would always say "It's a Yorkshire board, no trebles no flukey shots just skill."

Looking through Dickie Davis' Eyes, as Half Man, Half Biscuit once sang.

The title is a play on The Adverts song but the song isn't.
