    Well done to Gary Anderson, but tonight belongs to Scott Mitchell, the Scotty Dog who is having his day.

    Goodnight.

    Vicky:, external Darts is definitely the sport with best losers and winners. Congratulatory & apologetic respectively, a lot of respect evident.

    Vaughan Griggs:, external Well done Scott Mitchell, a very worthy champion and to Martin Adams too, very dignified in defeat.

    George Dixie:, external Probably shouldn't be sat here with my head in my hands over a game of darts. Gutted for Wolfie.

    "The 158 checkout was where Scott did it for me. He had so many chances to take the title, but he kept his cool and he got there in the end. But Wolfie is some darts player."

    Runner-up Martin Adams: "It wasn't too shabby, was it? I could have played better early on, but that's the way darts goes. Fair play to Scotty, he beat me. He ain't a bad old lad for a farmer's boy! This is the greatest crowd I've ever come across."

    Mitchell is back, jumping about on stage, taking the screams and whistles of the crowd. What a wonderful Lakeside final. Who says darts isn't a sport? Twice in two Sundays the boys on the oche have delivered wonderful sporting drama.

    Vassos Alexander
    Darts commentator on BBC Two

    "Year after year, Scott Mitchell would come to Lakeside and fail to find his best darts. This year, he's strutted about like he owns the oche - and now he does."

    Won with double 20! Scott Mitchell is the world champion! He sinks to his knees, tears streaming down his face. There's congratulations from Martin Adams, who beams a smile. A Scotty Dog is thrown from the crowd, with Mitchell then running to celebrate with his family. Great scenes.

    Mitchell leaves 40. Adams must take out 121. Bullseye? No! Mitchell for tops and the title...

  16. Postpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2015

    Mitchell with a healthy lead, he'll have six from 221. He takes 81, meaning it will be 140 for the world title. Where's Wolfie? He's pinning a 180 of his own.

  17. Postpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2015

    180 for Mitchell!

  18. Postpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2015

    ...no shot at the double, Adams returns and must hit double 16. He does! Now, Mitchell throwing for the title.

  19. Postpublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2015

    Each with a 140 in this leg that Wolfie has to win - in fact, he has to win the next two. Wolfie, though, is without a treble in his next visit and Mitchell bags a 140 and beats his chest. Adams keeps pace to have a shot at 161 as Scotty loses the plot, Wolfie will have six from 161. He'll come for double 62 to stay in this final, with Mitchell waiting on 100. Two missed at double 16... here comes Mitchell for the title...
