Burglars, bullseyes, and bathtubs of wine: let’s play darts!

Episode notes

Darts was once a humble pub game where tubby punters hustled pensioners for pork scratchings.

But in the 1970s, everything changed.

As darts went prime time, a rabble of chain-smoking boozehounds were catapulted to a life of mega stardom, from bathtubs of wine to sex-starved American groupies.

Laaaaaaaaaaadieeeeeessss and gentlemeeeeeeeeeeen. Let’s. Play. Darts. 

With guest Ruth Husko.
