My dad marked the board on these programmes. He also done a programme for Tyne Tees with Dickie Davies called Double Top before Indoor League, it was made in local pubs and clubs in the Newcastle area. Does anyone have any info on this programme?
I really enjoyed catching a glimpse of my dad, thanks very much for the post, and the info below on the DVD. I'll try and get one.

Anyone remember Pro Celebrity Darts? I think it was shown late on ITV on a Friday night around 1978 or 1979. Any info would be appreciated. If i remember rightly, the group Darts sang the theme tune.

bluesbrother37 I remember the Pro Celebrity darts from the late 70s the theme tune was "Everyone loves darts" sang indeed by Darts.
I recall there was a seperate tournament for the Pro,s only and that the sponsor put up £180 for every maximum scored and that Eric Bristow scored five or six and went home with a good few quid that night.
I'm glad someone else remembers it! I think it was made by Yorkshire TV and was possibly hosted by Fred Dineage, i'd love to see the series again or even some clips.
