  • Good show usually but…..

    Don’t bother listening as soon as I hear the name Luke Littler. Just like with Fallon all gets a bit tedious.

  • Good show usually but…..

    Abi Davis suggesting Beau’s dartitus may have returned was very unprofessional and something most dart presenters or pundits would never mention. Obviously another female Sky Fallon fan girl

  • Sound quality

    Good content but the sound quality is AWFUL. 1st episode I listened to was from Berlin and the Nathan Aspinall interview was all over sound wise. If this gets sorted, it would genuinely be 5 stars so, come on Sky!
