Laura Turner was once again involved during the PDC World Darts Championship as a pundit and commentator for Sky Sports and catching up with Tungsten Tales post tournament, she spoke about commentating with no crowd as well as her thoughts on Lisa Ashton and Deta Hedman's displays.

"It was fantastic. Got treated to some excellent darts, some wonderful stories along the way but it was quite nice to get out of the house and do something that felt a bit more normal especially considering the circumstances. It was a good experience," said Turner to Tungsten Tales.
"They both did themselves proud. Deta was probably a little bit disappointed in so much as I think she didn't get going from the off. That first leg was five or six missed leg darts, I think if she would have got that leg under her belt earlier on, that level she would have been able to keep that up."
"Lisa just what I come to expect when I see Lisa on the stage now. Again gutted for her that she hasn't got that elusive stage-based win under her belt, she's beaten so many good players on the tour including Adam Hunt. But I will say Adam Hunt has become a vastly improved player over the Grand Slam and then what we've seen of his performance at the World's, he's obviously another one to watch."
not digging any of these commentators at the moment. mardle is interesting in some technical aspects but otherwise annoying. rod sounds like he's going to lose his voice any second and the iceman could put ants on meth to sleep. Nicholson obviously the most dreadful. i watch the vids with the german commentary or just put some music on. piped in crowd noise is terrible too. And why we need to listen to a player who averages 60 is a sad aspect of our modern society.
Who is she anyways? A very bad bdo player. Why didn't Sky get Fallon to do the punditry instead?

- I agree,but there still isn't a good enough German player to be considered. I've said before,scrap the whole thing,its a payday for the top players and gives nothing to anyone elserick6707-04-2025
- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025
- Aspinall really struggles against Littler. Head to head is currently 9 - 1 in Littlers favour.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
