The superb Jim Bowen and Tony Green presented this show, a combination of darts and general knowledge. I had always loved playing darts in the local pub and that is what attracted me to this show initially.
There were three pairs of contestants on each show. One would answer questions, the other would throw darts. The finale would involve the final pair aiming to win a host of goodies such as TV sets and that important star prize. Also on the show each week was a professional darts player who would thrown darts for charity.
The show was superb to be honest. I should have tried to get on the show myself but I never got round to it. The consolation prize was a model mascot of Bully (boy, I wish I could get my hands on one of those) and the contestants generally had a good time.
The only complaint I have against the show was the fact that if the final pair lost their finale, Jim Bowen would still show them the prize that they would have won. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound-whose idea was that?
All in all, a super show. There have been frequent rumours of Bullseye returning to terrestrial TV on Channel 5. That needs to happen sooner rather than later.
