The Wrong Bed podcast

Launched in Vegas in 2009, The Wrong Bed podcast took an independent irreverent and generally irrelevant look at the world of darts. After six series of ever decreasing length and quality, TWB went on a long break, just as everyone else worked out how to make podcasts profitable.

Below you can access more than 50 previous episodes – or you can listen via the never-updated Facebook page, via iTunes, on this (fairly slow and very old-school) direct download, or through numerous other routes many of which weren’t invented when we started out.

Tricky D and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the show, in particular for making us laugh – and  helping us generate a volume of  outtakes that would make Denis Norden proud.

You can get in touch by emailing bachelorofdarts@gmail.com, or following @thewrongbed on twitter; sometimes we might even respond. We may even put together another episode or two, if you ask nicely.

You can’t beat a bit of Bully

Tony Green helps us to celebrate Bullseye's 30th birthday, we talk PDC youth darts with Rod Harrington, chat with new BDO referee Hugh Ware, and give an airing to our new darts-based sitcom, Keeping up with the McDonalds. Your charity money, that's safe.

Human Target – Adrian Lewis

PDC World Champion Adrian Lewis tells us about his new found celebrity status, we begin our lengthy build up to World Championship season, and Lakeside qualifiers Gary Stone and Andy Boulton both give us the 'every darters dream' line.

Darting on Ice – Barry Gilbey

We're back! Series 3 kicks off with an exclusive interview with new BDO Chairman Barry Gilbey, a trip to Hull for the World Masters, and a chat with Glen Durrant. Plus, we launch not one but two new features.

The Best of Series Two

It took a few months, but we dug out the not so bad bits of Series Two, recorded a few pieces to link them together, and hey presto, it's The Best of Series Two, including Taylor, Gorman, Croft, Barneveld, Waites, and a whole hunk of other dastardly dartists. And yes,...

Darts Can Only Get Better

Series two of The Wrong Bed comes to an end with a bumper episode looking at how to improve the sport, including contributions from Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson, Terry Jenkins, Mark Webster and Wayne Mardle. Plus, our guide to life in darts without The Wrong Bed, the...

A Few Good Men

Andy Smith helps us chew the fat, Vassos 'The Greek' talks tennis and darts, and I get to meet my darting inspiration, Keith 'The Fella' Deller. All this cheers us up after the disappointing news that ITV have pulled out of darts - again.

End Of The Worlds As We Know It

It's back to normal service in The Wrong Bed studio as we look back at the glory days of the 2011 World Championships, including interviews with Mark Walsh and Scott Waites. Tricky D has a threesome with the Ally Pally walk-on girls, and our 'There's More Than One...

SPECIAL: BDO World Championship 2011 – Round 2&3

The BDO World Championship bursts into life at the quarter final stage. With Tricky D indisposed, I'm joined in The Wrong Bed by Scotty Mitchell, Dean Winstanley, Stuart Kellett, Trina Gulliver and BBC Commentator David Croft. Cracking.

SPECIAL: PDC World Championship 2011: Finals

Live from Tricky D's sitting room we're watching Adrian Lewis take on Gary Anderson for the title of Champion of the World - and exclusively reveal why the walk-on girls were replaced for finals night. Irreverant darts chatter doesn't get much tougher than this.

SPECIAL: PDC World Championship 2011: Rounds 2 and 3

Terry Jenkins, Gary Anderson and Vincent van der Voort were all victors in the third round of the PDC World Championship - and they each speak to The Wrong Bed in this special episode live from Ally Pally.

5 Gold Slings

All attempts not to be festive fall flat as World Championship fever takes over The Wrong Bed, with help from Mark Webster and Darryl Fitton. Happy Dartmas!

Everybody Loves Raymond

Raymond Van Barneveld joins us in The Wrong Bed (no, that's no meant to be funny), we look back at the Grand Slam of Darts, and grill PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter about the state of professional darts. Plus we look ahead to the World Cup of darts with Co Stompe,...

Grand Slam Auto 2

We're back at the Grand Slam of Darts where we talk to more players than Phil Taylor has pairs of glasses - including Hankey, Lloyd, Lewis, Baxter, Wright, Phillips and 'The Power' himself. We find ourselves in the ITV truck with Eric Bristow, Tricky D's Tricky 3...

The Young Ones

Stuart Kellett, recent finalist of the Winmau World Masters, joins us in The Wrong Bed alongside Rod Harrington, and Paul 'He's Bad' Nicholson. We look at the youth game in the company of a whole host of youth stars, and launch our latest competition. Plus all the...

Every loser wins

Darting gentleman Wayne Jones joins us in The Wrong Bed as we pick over the losers at the World Grand Prix, discuss darts sponsorship, and challenge Andy ‘The Hammer’ Hamilton to answer Tricky D’s Tricky Three. Do you sleep in a Bensons Bed?

Bad

With craic at the Grand Prix from Dublin, darting violence and an interview with Paul Nicholson (he's bad), The Wrong Bed is back with more of the same. Plus, the Come Dine With Me Three reveal all - podcasts don't get much tougher than this.

The O.C.

In a special episode of The Wrong Bed we bin off all the usual nonsense for a rare and in-depth interview with the Godfather of Darts, Olly Croft. He's the man that everyone in darts has an opinion about; here's a chance to review yours.

Scott Gossip

Following the recent revelations in cricket we consider darts relationship with betting, and (unrelated) continue our forward view of the year with a look at the BDO in the run up to the Lakeside - in the company of the excellent Scott Mitchell. Plus, darts finest...

A whole lotta history

We look forward to the rest of the PDC year alongside rising star Jamie 'Jabba but nothing to do with Star Wars' Caven, and back to the origins of darts in the company of Doctor Darts himself, the excellent Patrick Chaplin. All this from my kitchen. Whatever next?

Such a perfect Dave

Dave Gorman is in The Wrong Bed, fresh from his appearance on Bravo TV at the European Championship. Plus, we give last month's World Matchplay from Blackpool the once-over and look ahead to Phil Taylor's significant birthday. Darts in Afghanistan anyone?

Things to do in Blackpool when you’re dead

The World Matchplay takes centre stage with Colin Lloyd, our answer to the World Cup octopus, and plenty of things to do in Blackpool if you get beaten in the first round. Plus, listeners darting inventions get their first airing, including 'wicketkeeper' and 'wet...
