Bulletproof

Wins, walkouts and wrong turns with darts' biggest character

'The whole darting world loves him’ Luke Humphries

This is the true, unvarnished story of 'The Bullet': BDO World Champion, PDC Masters winner, Premier League giant-killer.

Stephen Bunting grew up throwing darts in smoky Merseyside boozers, sneaking into pubs under his hood as a twelve-year-old, and learning to count by chalking scores on the side of his wardrobe.

Now he's one of the most beloved players in the fastest-growing sport on the planet. His walk-on to 'Titanium' sees grown adults singing their hearts out in arenas from Belfast to Berlin.

But behind the pyrotechnics and the sing-alongs, this is also a story about grit. About a lad from Fazakerley who nearly threw it all away – through the gambling debts, the wilderness years, the local league night where he couldn't hit a double and rang his manager from the car park to say he was 'done'.

Bulletproof is about a dad who plonked his kid on a bar stool and changed his life. It’s about a baboon in a Basel zoo, chinning a chicken and using a trouser press to warm sausage rolls. And it's about what happens when you refuse to give up on the thing you love most.

Featuring Bunting’s exclusive behind-the-scenes view of the professional darts tour, this is the incredible and hilarious story of life on tour from one of the greatest personalities in the game.
