Darts referee Kirk Bevins was back on television this week, but he wasn’t calling from the oche on this occasion. He was making an appearance on popular quiz show Eggheads, taking on some of the top quiz players in the country as part of a team called ‘Thrown Together’.

Bevins’ knowledge came to the fore during round three, which was science. After being handed responsibility by his team, he admitted his relief that he had been handed one of his favourite subjects.Before the round started though, host Jeremy Vine asked Bevins some probing questions about darts.

He said: “Kirk, you are a professional darts referee. That’s quite something, I always think there’s a lot of pressure on you guys.”Bevins replied: “There is, you’ve got to be very good at arithmetic and do it in about a second.” Vine then put Bevins on the spot, adding: “So they throw treble 20, treble 17, double two and you can immediately say…” At which point, Bevins cut in, switching to calling mode, and announced: “115!”A laughing Vine responded: “That amazing.” Asked about the stress of the job, Bevins said: “I enjoy darts, I’ve got the best seat in the house.

There’s not really much stress. I just try not to make a mistake because everyone’s watching.”Vine then tested Bevins again, asking: “How would you check out on 113?”, to which Bevins replied, quick as a flash: “Treble 20, 13, tops.” Which darts players would you like to see on a quiz show?
