That was so funny! Not the woman you chose to be your wife, not the house you bought, not the children you gave birth to.... but Bully's star prize gamble.... 🤣🤣🤣
No such thing as a THREE WHEELED BIKE , no such thing as a FOUR WHEELED BIKE, word bike is short for bicycle , meaning bi- cycle as in TWO CYCLES as in TWO WHEELS
One thing you could always count on is the ego of the darts player going for treble 20s, especially when the non-darts player got over half the points themselves!
Id have loved the coffee maker swing hammock & the £100 worth of books, it'd be lovely to recline in the garden on a warm day reading and having a drink.
The IMMEDIATE "let's see what you would have won" is brutal, no sympathy at all. Then he signs off with "I admire your courage... I think it's courage"... But they're still laughing about it somehow.
My favourite was ‘You won’t go far on this, it’s an exercise bike” very surprised there hasn’t been a remake of this - back in the day it was great viewing.
It wouldn't be quite as funny now - back in the 80s contestants didn't know what a bunch of tat they were being given as prizes but nowadays people would be more clued up and only enter the show for a bit of a laugh
He's doing his maths in Heaven now, he passed away a few days ago from Alzheimers, after Surving Cancer over a decade ago. May He RIP 🙏. Thanks Tony lad.
The dart player on this show was my Uncle Don, who sadly died a number of years ago. Him and his partner decided beforehand that if they got to the final, they'd gamble. Unfortunately, nerves got the better of my Uncle, who had been hitting high scores all through the show. They both enjoyed the experience!
Nicholas Parsons in his huge polyester flares as he rattled off the questions at lightning speed. The prizes were much better though on SOTS. 321 had star prizes like a real St Bernard dog and fur coats, imagine the outcry at that today
Totally stupid, had they never watched bullseye before - they already had about 4 grand worth of prizes, there was no way the star was ever going to be worth that much (and guaranteed if they did win it would have been the speedboat)
"Expresso coffee maker" LOL Those were the days - holidays in Spain with the only word "cerveja" the one you knew and bringing home a straw donkey for ya mam 🙂
Is Mr Hewes now driving Jim's old Rolls Royce? I might be wrong. Some of these prizes seem minimal today but were big ticket items back in the day, a washer/dryer no less, it was 40 years ago ! My childhood watching Jim and Tony Green, god bless both.
Going for treble 20 was madness. Especially the second dart, after he'd already hit treble 1. Two steady singles, with three darts to have a pop at it. Very little pressure there.
I never get the obsession with 16s being easier then 20 - it's in the most straight line possible and the 16 is down on the edge of the board so should be way harder
@@TyrannosaurusCHEX It's not that 16 is an easier target than 20, it's that there's better insurance if you miss. Where the dart player missed the treble 20's and only scored 6 with two darts, the same situation on the 16 would have strayed twice into treble 7 and scored 42. It's a hell of a difference, and would have been enough to win the prize on just two wayward throws.
I remember Jim Bowen admitting once that this show was a bit of a scam. In an interview he said that the expensive holidays were only ever shown when the contestants lost, if they won it was quickly changed to a less expensive prize.
If you listen to Jim around the 3:00 mark, they won £890 in the first two rounds (I'd love to see the full episode to see how they did it) - which wasn't gambled in the earlier series and Lionel Smith won an additional £730 for them in the charity throw. They probably thought to themselves: "Let's have a bit of fun for the rest of the show." That and their confidence levels were most likely very high.
There was always something about Jim Bowen....couldn't keep his hands off the contestants, pushing, pulling, arm around them - didn't matter if they were male or female..🤔
Tony after the first 3 darts on the prizeboard to the second player . . Now remember what has already been won, erm I think the fact they are lit up might remind somebody haha.
Gawd, it brings back memories with the dear old ducks in the audience. What with the wrestling n bingo, they had a right proper day out. Back home, feet up n a spot of Val Doonican. I'm all for the modern times and social media (useful at this moment) but the 80s were the nuts for all round, genuine, non-interfered entertainment.
The prizes were good for the time but nowadays that picture of them all together reminded me of the bulky items skip at my local council tip.
Even back then they were laughably bad.
Exactly what I thought 😂
Honda Visions weren't cheap!
They looked like Central had got them from a tip
Underrated comment 😂
Biggest decision you'll make in your lives 😂 😂 😂 😂 RIP Jim
i know!! theyve probably made bigger decisions in the past!!
Lol, I do hope it wasn't, what pathetic lives anyone must have for that to be true!
Hahaha Jim the legend.
Would you gamble those life changing prizes? Huge decision to gamble that hostess trolley for a start.
Prizes were so fricking lame back then 🫣
That was so funny! Not the woman you chose to be your wife, not the house you bought, not the children you gave birth to.... but Bully's star prize gamble.... 🤣🤣🤣
The only show where 20 somethings always looked like they were in their 40s.
Jim Bowen: 'So what do you do for a living?'
Contestant: 'I'm unemployed.'
Jim Bowen: 'Great, super, smashing.'
As a child in the 80s it was always a treat when the garden swing chair came out 😂
That was the hight of decadence in them days.
Where's the speed boat?
Or the Rowenta food processor, height of tech, along with a Pocket calculator in those days. 😄
Soda stream was the bees knees when u were a kid
@@alimantado373 then we had scientific calculators. These calculators do scientific things that other ordinary calculators can only dream of 🤣
That's one of the rare four-wheel trikes.
😂
hahahahahahahahaha. im F laughing, youve just made me spit out my beer... I didnt notice that
i was going to say the same lol.
Needless to say that the 'swing hammock' is actually a chair
🤣
Bloody hell.. they didn't half like having a hostess trolley on Bully's prize board - every single week, there she was 😂
Can't beat a 4 wheeled trike.
Did that become what we now call a quad?
Tri means 3. That’s why 3 wheeled bikes are called trikes. A four wheeled bike would be known as a quad.
I'd love a 4 wheeled trike as a kid. I'd definitely have quad fun 😂
What about a tandem unicycle ?
No such thing as a THREE WHEELED BIKE , no such thing as a FOUR WHEELED BIKE, word bike is short for bicycle , meaning bi- cycle as in TWO CYCLES as in TWO WHEELS
I always laughed when they had an ad break to count £28 out 😂
£28 was a lot of money back then.
Get those £1 notes out 😂
And Jim used to be a Maths teacher!
It was all in 2ps mind 😂
@@yaboyj2191 It wasn't on the YTS!😂
You cant beat a bit of bully.
Dead right. God bless ya, Jim
"We've reserved a holiday for you and your family!" No you haven't. I love the BS of this show.
Yeah, guaranteed if he had hit the win the speedboat would have come rolling straight out
One thing you could always count on is the ego of the darts player going for treble 20s, especially when the non-darts player got over half the points themselves!
Yeah all he had to do was stay at the bottom of the board
Best tactic is aim at treble 14 it gives you the best option if your darts fall into the wrong section either side.
Id have loved the coffee maker swing hammock & the £100 worth of books, it'd be lovely to recline in the garden on a warm day reading and having a drink.
Nothing like a hot coffee in the garden on a hot day
What warm day in Britian in the 80's
Id rather the Teasmade on a morning!😄
To be fair, as much as bullseye is notorious for having crap prizes most of those on the prize wheel were pretty decent and useful.
The IMMEDIATE "let's see what you would have won" is brutal, no sympathy at all. Then he signs off with "I admire your courage... I think it's courage"... But they're still laughing about it somehow.

Treble 1 twice🤦🤣 biggest decision of your life🤣🤣 love a bit of bully
If I were bully, my head would be in my hand on screen after they said they'd gamble all the prizes, not after they lost them.

Sale Of The Century was the best!
Funny thing, when i was a kid , i seem to remember 321 dragging on for what seemed like 6 hrs! 😅
Loved bullseye, but 321 was best. Still watch them on UA-cam and when in the office, I pass the itv studio on Kirkstall Road in Leeds.
Nicholas Parsons in his huge polyester flares as he rattled off the questions at lightning speed. The prizes were much better though on SOTS.
321 had star prizes like a real St Bernard dog and fur coats, imagine the outcry at that today
Even as a non dart player i know the second player should have been going for the left-hand side of the dart board
Daft as a brush
And those two could obviously throw pretty damn well judging from their prize board run
The mother in law still owns a Hostess Trolley.
It comes out every Christmas.
I’m surprised it still works !!
Have they actually been sold in the last 40 years? Every game show in the early 1980s loves to give away a hostess trolley it seems
Surprised it still works !!
What the mother in law or hostess trolley
£800 in 1986 was a lot of bully!
"Have a look at what you would have won....." I remember Jim Bowen saying he went on a Whisky Diet once. He lost about 3 Weeks. R.I.P. Jim.
"climb the heights with this...expandable ladder!"
The audible shock from the audience when they gambled! 😀
A peneth of chips would bring the same reaction 🤣
Be the envy of the neighbours with this pop up toaster 😝
Greed was their downfall🤷♂️.
No bad darts from then”darts player” at the end. Couldn’t get 40 with 3 darts. Brutal.
Totally stupid, had they never watched bullseye before - they already had about 4 grand worth of prizes, there was no way the star was ever going to be worth that much (and guaranteed if they did win it would have been the speedboat)
Jim 'I admired your um er greed, sorry courage and here's your bully's darts. Lovely guys. Give 'em around of applause. Super'. 😊
100 quid worth of books! today that would be about 5 hardbacks
£100 in 1983 is £423 in 2024’s money, so not actually a bad prize
What’s he going for 20s for with 40 needed that absolute weapon
You would need a flat bed truck, to drop off a £100 worth of books in the 80s
😂😂😂😂
In 1983 when WH Smith was a proper bookshop, not the overpriced junk shop it is today
...And they never spoke again.
Sorry...which one was the non dart player?
We've had a lovely day Jim...
Blimey I wasn’t expecting that 😂
61 non dart player and both good enough to hit all prizes….only for 2 treble 1’s by the dart player to ***t the bed 😢
"Expresso coffee maker" LOL
Those were the days - holidays in Spain with the only word "cerveja" the one you knew and bringing home a straw donkey for ya mam 🙂
i know, i cringed when he pronounced the X in 'espresso', an X that doesnt even exist.
I don’t care what anyone says, Bullseye absolutely ROCKS! Love it!
Can't beat a bit of greed on a Sunday!
"Stay out of the black and in to the red... You get nothing in this game for two in a bed"
Marvellous.

@@TyrannosaurusCHEXbecause it’s not sat next to 1 and 5
God, I'd forgotten just how bad the prizes were on Bullseye.
I watch re-runs of the show, and the prize-board is definitely the highlight! 😅
Tonight’s star prize… a pack of ill-fitting shirts and trousers.
Lol yes all the male contestants had big beer bellies but wore polyester shirts 2 sizes too small
I used to always think how did they get all the prizes in one picture? Who did that so quickly? Lugging a garden swing to the cafetière.
You shoot the shot seperately after the show and then drop it in at the edit.
The supposed best player in the team, lost his head, should have taken his time, but ended up choking.
Love it ,serve you right for being greedy
Miss the 80s so much….if we had it now bullys noise would offend peoples ears🥳🤪
Those last 3 darts are still stuck in the board.
I'd have gambled too after winning a Honda Vision as a star prize 😆🤣
You would have to pay someone to take that shit away these days 😂
I'd like to go back in time and tell them not to gamble. I've just messed my pants
I'd like to go back in time and tell you not to mess your pants.

He loves rubbing it in their faces when they lose.
I think it’s have won….let’s stick to English.
Or could’ve won…definitely not could have though….

Took some fucking balls to gamble that washer dryer so readily.

Wow, a lovely bunch of prizes, bet they were really excited.

Pony
yeh a week at Butlins
@@BogusDudeGW Actually no, I can recall at least two. One was a fortnight to Australia and another was a fortnight to Barbados.
Have a look at what you would have won ,unintentional comedy at it's finest .
Actually even funnier knowing it weren't some crappy boat or furniture but a decent looking holliday😂😂
Cars were the best prizes and when they lost😂. Take it back you'll not see that again. Kick em when they're down jim😂
The prizes on Blankety blank were far worse. You could win a big slipper or a "Teach yourself Esperanto " kit
If you seen a skip outside of someone's house in 1987 half these prizes would be in it 💯
Things were a lot more expensive in the 80's, that washer drier alone would be the best part of £500
On the show they had the option to either take the prizes or have the cash equivalent.
no they wouldnt. dont exaggerate
If you listen to Jim around the 3:00 mark, they won £890 in the first two rounds (I'd love to see the full episode to see how they did it) - which wasn't gambled in the earlier series and Lionel Smith won an additional £730 for them in the charity throw. They probably thought to themselves: "Let's have a bit of fun for the rest of the show." That and their confidence levels were most likely very high.
Did any pair ever win ￡1000 on the show?
It was possible, but they only had 3 digits on front of the desk showing how much they had won.
@@dvidclapperton It happened on Christmas edition (Celebs & professionals) - they had to stick a card with a 1 on the scoreboard.
£890 was the highest, it is repeated on challenge t v.@@dvidclapperton
There was always something about Jim Bowen....couldn't keep his hands off the contestants, pushing, pulling, arm around them - didn't matter if they were male or female..🤔
He had to get them on spots for the cameras .he was brilliant disappointed the expensive holidays were only declared on the losers.
Camera angles, nothing suspicious at all, strange acquasation
AFTER THE SHOW, THE 2 LADS LOST THE £890, TANKARDS AND BULLYS, OUTSIDE PLAYING PAP, WITH A KID... 🤣🤣🤣
Why didn't he just stick to left hand side of the board?
They risked everything for a speedboat
IN the hammock, WITH the quadbike, IN a speedboat in Turkey.
Why didn't the 2nd dart player aim for those same trebles as the first dart player, I think he'd of improved his chances
What year was this? Can't believe they had a coffee machine back then.
He should have gone for treble 14 and treble 11 (right next to each other), then if he hit singles with the first 2 darts a single 20 wins it...
If only you had been there to guide them.
Damn £100 worth of books! Not surprised they gambled 😂
£100 in 1983 is the equivalent of £423 in 2024, so that’s a LOT of books
I hope everyone went iiiiiin when Tony was reading out the prizes. RIP Tony.
Good star prize that, bet they would have had an amazing time. Fancy missing out by not getting 40 or more in 3 darts.
None dart player 1st lmao
Always go for 19s!!!
Tony after the first 3 darts on the prizeboard to the second player . . Now remember what has already been won, erm I think the fact they are lit up might remind somebody haha.
Where would the human race be, without a hostess trolley? Possible the best invention since the wheel…..
You can't even buy them anymore, at least not on Amazon!
i never understood this they aren't always couples so how did they share the prizes
R.I.P. Tony Green & Jim Bowen
People dont realise today that a washer/dryer was a luxury item then - most people went to a launderette.
I love an Expresso in the morning……
'and this is probably one of the most important decisions you'll have to make in your life.'
the joke was, the tankard and bully was always the main prize
They must be worth much more than that hammock and hostess trolley in 2024
"you've won a complete pile of shite that's probably made it to landfill"
I was giggling when they lost that gamble
People forget that this was a life changing amount of money/prizes in Thatchers Britain for a working class man. Fantastic show, God bless Jim Bowen.
And following a decade of Blair, people are lucky to be able to afford a home.
@@MrEdrftgyuji I fookin hate Tony Blair mate. Mass immigration caused by blair has caused a housing crisis.

Should've gone for treble 19, rather than the all or bust 20s
And the moral is don’t be greedy.

Even when the star prize wasn't a motor boat, it'd still give you the use of one for a couple of weeks.
How can it e a battery tryke when it has 4 wheels?
