Meant in terms of the original "super long" session having to be arranged. Great to see it's back to normal. I bet they'll be pleased.

Now if only ITV could throw the horse racing onto ITV3...

More people in liking horse racing than watching obese men throw metal at a wall shocker.

In any case, an extra evening session as opposed to an afternoon session is much more beneficial anyway. And the broadcaster gets to show more sport on the correct channel, everyone wins.

No idea what viewing figures horse racing gets but there's something to be said for having the whole of tournaments on the same Channel, I.e. ITV4. Start moving channels around and casual sports fans might miss sessions.

I know when the darts sessions are but there's other sports I'm casually into where I've not realised they were on until near the end of the program. Although I am thick as ..

Really dont see how you can moan because you get an Thursday night (or a Friday night) of darts instead of a Saturday afternoon.

Ginge only watching sports to fuel his gambling passions, he wouldn't understand. Horses running around and people wasting money on that is a load of crap.

Dawson said it will be Nicholson and Murphy commentating for PDC TV on the stage 2 for the UK Open, which presumably means he has been promoted to the main rotation? And if so, should mean someone of the usual crew isn't going to be there?

I hate Webster. He brings the mood down in the commentary box.
