I was watching a bit of Bullseye last night Great, smashing, super. Absolute class on a late Sunday afternoon.

"and Bully's star prize................................."

"that's yours to keep, no-one can take that away from you"

"Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 1"

I was in knots watching it. And how come all the contestants looked like complete spanners

Rued.

If you lost it was always a fúcking speed-boat, if you won it was a colour TV.

I saw Bowen live at the Edinburgh fringe a few years back - he explained the speedboat prize

Before the show got commissioned, the producer was scurrying about looking for prizes. He had a mate who had his own speedboat company and he conned him into a long-term deal.

They couldn't get shot of the buggers

And as Bowen said, the producer never give it a moments consideration that most of the contestants stayed in city high rises

"the lights are there to help you"

One time big Cliff Lazarenko was the pro on throwing for charity. He scored three ffs

"nothing for two in the bed"

Never get away with this these days!

Damn, can't get youtube at work but I'll be giving this a gander when I'm home

Rued, I watched it with my Mrs the other week on Challenge (that's how bad the TV has been!) and we were actually seeing who could guess them most of the nine prizes.

A teasmaid.
A fridge.
A piano.
A colour TV.
A stereo
An alarm clock.

rued there is a website with photos of the contestants on it evryone has the right to be ugly but ffs

Bowen was brilliantly sexist as well when it came to the female contestants turn to throw darts

You can't beat a bit of Bully.

the joke was few years back was the floods in sheffield, someone said you can all now use those f00king motorboats yeez won on bulls eye

Laudo,

What's the website called?

They should have called it Deliverance ffs

Bowen also told an apparently true story about a pair of Irish contestants who appeared on a show they couldn't air.

Apparently they were put out in the first round without getting a single point on the board and as such not a penny in their pocket.

The other two pairs of contestants both turned down the chance to gamble though so as is custom, the Irish boys were brought back on for a shot at it.

So they came back on and Bowen (jokingly) asked them if they'd like to "gamble" for Bully's special prize.

They said thanks, but no thanks.

They had to scrap the entire episode because this pair of plonkers point blank refused to gamble on zilch

"give us a twirl Anthea"

"good game, good game"

The Potters Wheel was always good for a laugh Comedy gold.

I reckon Bullseye will be brought back, I mean they've brought Catchphrase back so they're clearly running out of ideas.

Wouldn't be the same without Jim Bowen though.

I reckon Bullseye will be brought back
-----------------

They brought it back with Dave Spikey in the Bowen role.

It was fookin' awful

a trouser press every week as a prize
