Image source, PA MediaCan't see this pair returning to the Ally Pally stage any time soon.
Comedians Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett threw a few 'arrers earlier for a special Sky programme they are filming.
It's fair to say the standard was...appalling.
Williams 1-1 Nebrida
Mark Webster
Former BDO world champion on Sky Sports
That's an impressive set from Jim Williams. He was pretty dominant.
Williams 1-1 Nebrida
Jim Williams is throwing to level the match and starts the leg off almost perfectly with a 180 and then, a 140.
After nine darts, he has 91 left, which he gets nine darts at.
Going single 17 and treble 14, Williams almost takes it out in three, missing double 16 narrowly.
Williams' route to a 32 finish is an unorthodox, but successful one. Double seven and double nine level up this match.
Williams 0-1 Nebrida (2-1)
To win this set, Paolo Nebrida has to win three straight legs.
The man from the Philippines gets to try a finish first on 161, with Williams waiting on the same number.
Nebrida gets treble 20 and treble 17 spot on, but is a bit out with the bull attempt.
No trebles for Williams invites Nebrida back on 48. A single 16 sets up the double which he takes on the second attempt.

We asked who was most deserving of a Sports Personality nomination - Luke Litter (who was runner-up for the main award) or Luke Humphries, who was not shortlisted.
For me it must be Littler by a mile. All that pressure on a 16-year-old who has not folded but only got stronger. Also if you add what he has done for promoting darts he should have been the main personality not just the junior,

Here's a question a few of you have asked, so we consulted the official rules.
Standard height from the floor to the bullseye on the dartboard is 5 feet 8 inches (1.72 metres), while the oche (distance between the front of the board and the toeline) should measure 7ft 9.25 ins.
That's a fair old way when you're under pressure.

Paolo Nebrida has struggled so far in this set to recreate some of the combination scoring he showed in the opener.
A 130, including another bull from Williams, gives him at least six darts to take out 91.
He only needs two. Treble 17, double 20.
A 14-dart hold of throw.
Williams 0-1 Nebrida (1-0)
Jim Williams is on the hunt to break throw at the start of this second set.
His first 180 of the night leaves him with three darts at double 10.
The first is a miss, the second is a single two to set up double four, which he finds with the third.
A good start for Williams.
Williams 0-1 Nebrida
An 18-minute first set between Jim Williams and Paolo Nebrida. For context, Gerwyn Price's win over Keane Barry on Monday saw the Welshman take the first set in under five minutes.
If this match goes the distance, we could be here for quite a while!
In terms of scoring, there is little to separate their averages.
Williams is on 83.13 after the first set, with Nebrida slightly ahead with an 85.45 average.

Nebdrida missed a single nine. Unforgivable. But he took out double eight and somehow he has taken the opening set against the darts
Williams 0-1 Nebrida

Fortunately, Nebrida gets himself out of a tough spot in three darts to take the set to a decider.
Williams 0-0 Nebrida (2-1)
