Actually its two women, throwing darts at a board, and the first to land one
in the bull wins (gasp) a t-shirt! I get the feeling a whole hunk of editing
goes on to make this clash of the titans last two minutes rather than the hours
it must take judging from players' skill. And an annoying twit does a voice-over
in a style you might expect from the Mirror.

Very much so. And they can't even afford an autocue. And don't even get
me started on Canary Hwarf.

Unfortunately not all the cable companies transmit the full 24h SciFi
channel programme either. Telecential are you listening?

This is true, but unfortunatly I can't pick it up. It's on the top
quality channel L!ve TV. A London cable channel which is run on a shoestring.

Yes, to our shame. It's on the cable channel "Live TV", every night. And
the title says it all. Two women playing dart, with no tops on.
Oh, the shame....

Barely. (Sorry!)
It's late night on Live TV, an obscure cable channel with viewing figures
typically in four digits. The show is two minutes long and features topless
ladies (one lady per show, I suspect) playing darts on Bondi Beach in
Australia to the strains of Waltzing Matilda.
Live TV also features the News Bunny who stands around during news
broadcasts giving thumbs up for good news, thumbs down for bad news etc.
Apparently it's silly and bizarre.
I don't have Live TV so I haven't actually seen either of these phenomena
(he said trying to excuse himself for knowing about Topless Darts). If I
had Live TV then I would have Cable, and so would not still be looking for
someone to tape me something off the daytime feed of the Sci-fi channel,
but I am.

The producer was interviewed on Capital FM the other day. He said that the
programme has been well received and now he is looking into... Topless
Synchronised Swimming!
(yes, really)

According to Private Eye, the women were no good at darts and to save
time two of the production crew had to take turns to throw the darts.

I read this last week in the Electronic Telegraph (an article about the
news bunny, which also mentioned topless darts and topless sync swimming),
but I thought it was a put-on, like the classic BBC report on spaghetti
farming in Italy.

I would like to take the opportunity to refute the rumour that L!ve TV's
sports programmes are hosted by Dougie Donelley...
