very sad to hear this. He was so passionate about darts, you could feel his excitement and tension when he spoke.

Moving stuff, great programme.

I do hope the commentators who try to move the sports onwards don't try to copy Sid's style because they will fail miserably.

Sid Waddell is incomparable.
