Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief is a charity sports show hosted by Gabby Logan. The show saw celebrities team up with professional darts players to play five rounds of darts before announcing a winner. The winner from each quarter-final episode went through to the semi-final rounds. The series also featured Comic Relief appeal films from Lenny Henry, Liza Tarbuck, Emma Willis and Angela Griffin as well as presenter Gabby Logan.
The series was filmed on September 3-4, and aired in early March in the lead-up to the Comic Relief fundraiser marathon.[1][2]
