The Prize Presentation in the Grand Final of Series 78.
Zarte Siempre holding the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy after winning Series 78.

Series 78 was the thirteenth series presented by Nick Hewer and it ran from 2 January 2018 to 22 June 2018. It was won by previous Series 69 contestant Zarte Siempre, who during his run achieved the then-highest cumulative score in a single series: 1,331. He started his second stint by beating Philip Aston and won the final by beating Aston again in an epic Grand Final.

The seed table finished up unusually, in that Aston qualified for the finals as number 7 seed despite equalling or bettering four other contestants' cumulative scores. Had the finalists been ranked by cumulative scores alone, regardless of wins (as was implied from Series 3 to 37), he would have been positioned four places higher, at number 3 seed, one above Chris Thorn only by a higher individual score. Additionally, Dougie Mackay finished 6th with the fourth-highest cumulative score of this series.

The series was off-air during the second week of January due to Channel 4's coverage of the BDO World Darts Championship. It was also interrupted by two live Formula 1 practice sessions.

Since Series 60, players are sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums are not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points are sorted by the number of conundrums correctly guessed, then highest individual score.
