For me it was let down by too many of the contestants being either rubbish at darts or rubbish at general knowledge, so there just wasn't much excitement.
Always been half the appeal of the format, surely? A county player who can't play darts and a partner who doesn't know anything. Sometimes the outcome of the 101 on the original show was more by luck than anything else, especially when the non-dart player managed to win the car/caravan/speedboat in two throws and the supposedly league player lost three prizes on the prize board.
