Irvine Welsh makes his feature-film directorial debut in this dark comedy-drama set in the world of South Wales professional darts. Katy Brand and Jonathan Owen (of her own Big Ass Show and Shameless respectively) are the two stars and - as always with Welsh - this is an almost farcical, sometimes obscene production. But there's a point too: satirising minor celebrity, the drama focuses on a formerly great darts player (Owen) and his place in a society still ravaged by pit closures and social deprivation. The script takes pot shots at the standards of modern fly-on-the-wall documentaries, and there's a cameo from darts star Richie Burnett.
