Luke Littler had a very different idea of who would appear on his Netflix show, Beat Luke Littler. The world number one expected to face mainly amateur pub players, but was surprised to discover that several familiar names from the darts world had also been selected. In the end, Fallon Sherrock claimed the top prize of £501,000.

The show, broadcast on 30-10-2025, challenged contestants to beat Littler in a single leg of 501. The two-time world champion won his first 14 matches before finally meeting his match in Sherrock.

“The Queen of the Palace” produced an excellent 15-dart leg to take home the top prize. Her participation sparked debate afterwards. Sky Sports analyst Mark Webster was among those who criticised the decision to let an experienced player like Sherrock compete.

Littler, however, had no issue with it and felt she was a worthy winner.

Fallon Sherrock eventually managed to beat Luke Littler

"I probably knew just over half of them"

Speaking to British news agency Press Association, Littler said he had not expected to see so many familiar faces at first. "Before I saw the line-up, I thought it was just pub players. Whereas obviously when the line-up came out, I probably knew just over half of them,” Littler said.

He was particularly struck by the number of talented young players taking part. "Mitchell, Zach Griffiths - I played with him on the Development Tour - obviously Fallon, Katie Sheldon and a lot more."

Littler also felt Sherrock was entitled to take part in the show. The Englishwoman had never held a PDC Tour Card, so she was eligible to enter the qualifiers.

"I mean Fallon, she's never had a Tour card, so she went for the qualifiers and she made it through. But then she wasn't guaranteed to play. She went in on a vote."

Littler open to a second Netflix show

Despite his defeat, Littler looks back positively on his television adventure. The Englishman would even welcome a second edition of Beat Luke Littler. "I want to grow darts as big as possible. I want to grow my profile as big as possible."

"There aren't many people who could say they've got their own show and I've had my own show on Netflix, which is just still bonkers to me.

For now, though, his focus is firmly back on the professional circuit. "But because of the schedule, we've just got to move on."
