I wish they'd bring back the weather in Norwegian

Presumably just after the "news bunny"? There was also the short weather guy bouncing on a trampoline to get into camera shot. I have absolutely no idea what Montgomery and MacKenzie were on but I think I could do with a bit.

The rump of the channel (essentially it's broadcasting rights) is now one of the many promoting adult text services.

or that wonderful topless painting with the music from the gallery

[Zippy]

L!ve TV used to show topless darts. I think that also graduated to topless darts on ice. Personally though I shudder at the id of a topless Phil Taylor and Simon Whitlock.

What happened to Topless Darts?

They don't stick in the board properly.

Are cockney or geordie accents mandatory? They seemed to be the last time I watched any darts on telly.

Ultimately cojak got it - "Or is it because we're not interested in sweaty fat men, threatening heart attacks by throwing things?", now if they had pretty fit females doing it, then MAYBE it would have been sport or at the very least mildly watchable. I'd support cojak if she was in it

I used to play darts with some rather attractive wimmin.

Celebrity ballroom topless darts on ice in the big brother jungle. Get in there before Simon Towel.

Is it a competitive activity between multiple contestants? Do you get better with practise?

It is a competitive activity between hopeful contestant and that chap who runs that program: presumably one or the other gets better with some practice.

What about "deal or no deal", is it a sport?

Plus, it's shown on sky sports

So is Poker.

If cards qualify as a sport, cribbage is a good pub game too. We could start the Freestyle Uk Cribbage King championships.

It's a competitive activity that requires skill, practice and co-ordination. Therefore I have no issue with it being referred to as a sport.

What about "deal or no deal", is it a sport? And stuff like that that is watched by far more people?

Plus, it's shown on sky sports

Sky Sports shows such things as WWE Wrestling - by far more entertaining program, but it ain't a sport.

It's not a sport.

Darts is (are?) a recreational activity that some people take way too seriously.

Although not classed as your average 'white collar' sport

I admire Taylor's skill and longevity, but pub games like shove 'apenny, darts, arm wrestling, skittles, bar billiards and table football don't do it for me as top sports.

the co-finalist was an Australian:

Ah, the Wizard of Oz, Simon something. Superb player. So he's defected to the PDC. Shame we won't see him at the Lakeside then
