The Embassy
World Professional Championship
This evening from the stage of Jollees, BBCtv presents 'live' coverage of the whole of the final of the number one darts tournament in the world. Will the great ERIC BRISTOW be there to defend his title, or will it be
MIKE GREGORY , who won his first major title in 1984, the British Professional
Championship? Could it be JOHN LOWE , the popular England skipper, or will there be a surprise contender - maybe on-form DAVE LEE ? Whoever is playing in this 11-set final, it will be to a capacity audience of darts enthusiasts from all over the country, and they will 'roar' their favourite on to win the E10,000 first prize.
