The public has watched with growing astonishment at the 16 year old darts prodigy who has beaten players forty years his senior to progress in one of the biggest tournaments in the world. We discuss the impact Luke Littler has had on the sport already and how his success could change darts in the years to come.

Jane Dougall is joined by semi-professional darts player Deta Hedman, who has known Luke since he was just ten years old, and darts journalist Chris Hammer from Sporting Life, who believes the teenager鈥檚 achievements aren鈥檛 a flash in the pan and that he will go on to emulate the success of other sports people like snooker's Ronnie O鈥橲ullivan.

We also hear from PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter who talks about the challenges of the world championships for someone as young as Luke and how he鈥檚 been coping with the pressure of playing in front of the Alexandra Palace crowd.
