Apparently people still care about EastEnders. That was one of the few things I took away from last night. An insufferable "whodunnit" plot line that has been become so ubiquitous that even I'm aware of it was resolved last night after a ten month wait. Some kid killed his sister or something. If I was one of the people who wanted to get rid of the BBC, I'd heavily cite EastEnders as part of my reasoning. Still, I suppose it's reassuring to know that Danny Dyer has somewhere to go.
I was alternating between revising and watching Premier League Darts instead. If someone had said in 1995 that twenty years from now, people would flock to see darts in arenas around the country, they would have been considered quite mad. Indeed, perhaps many of the people who go are also quite mad. It seems to me that even with the assistance of big screens, people are paying £30-40 a ticket and can see absolutely nothing of the action. On TV though, it can be absolutely brilliant. The recent World Championship final where Gary Anderson edged out Phil Taylor was a compelling spectacle.
I'm surprised how much I've come to like watching the PDC. Although perhaps it's logical that I have a soft spot for a sport where the stars are predominantly overweight men. It's also true to say that the quality of the performances over the past few years has been very high. I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't watched it. Although it might take you a while to come to terms with people in the crowd dressed like the Minions from Despicable Me singing Planet Funk's "Chase The Sun".
