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