i would like to see them get someone like John Lowe or Bob Anderson in to co commentate. I think both speak really well, both know the game and both know what it takes to win.

Lowe would probably be too boring. And I can't be arsed listening to Randall slobber over him on a nightly basis.

Good shout on Anderson though. He might be worth a try.

I think Murphy is quality, good knowledge and a good dry sense of humour. Dawson is okay but his voice goes really weird in moments of excitement like it goes deeper the more excited he gets (i think he forces it to what he thinks is sounding good to be honest) and he kind of thinks a bit much of himself and that comes across.

I like the Studd and Mardle combo, they are entertaining.

Hate the whole ITV crew, Warriner is harmess but just boring.

No way a TV channel is going to hire 1 or 2 new darts commentators in their 70s, no matter who they are.

Okay. Rob Mullarkey is decent and flows well with the Euro Tour guys. Let me know if you're still thirsty for more.

Part a class above everyone else. Quite like Webster. Be interesting to see how much accent plays a part. If Mardle didn't have a horrific screechy Essex accent would what he says be slightly more tolerable or less noticeable?

No, he'd still be a moronic cunt.

I can never understand why Part is so popular in comms, his M.0 is just to contradict whatever his co-commentator has just said, why he always clashes with and comms with hi mand Studd always get a bit niggly.

I don't mind any of them. Sure, they can annoy me sometimes with the odd comment or having smug attitude while saying something that is actually incorrect, but that's life. I prefer Wayne Mardle as a pundit than a commentator. Commentating wise I like Rod Studd and John Part most.

Wayne Mardle is okay. Although he sometimes sounds like an overly excited Stewie Griffin. Look (at 0:10):

By the way Dan Dawson is exemplary for absolute disgust.
