Arrows - BBC4 (working men's clubs and Eric Bristow)

[Little Jimmy Oddman]

There was a great 1979 documentary shown the other night - it follows a young Eric Bristow to a working men's club in Nottinghamshire for a darts exhibition. It's one of those impressionistic, slightly moody things you used to get on the BBC (and that BBC 4 occassionally put on) and it's chock full of vintage footage that would appeal to fans of Working Men's Soul. There's even a scene with a UK country singer.

It's available on iPlayer:
