I've got to agree. When I was a kid, I thought bully was excellent. Looking back at the re-runs, I laugh my head off at the prizes. I also realise that Jim B was the best host ever. My kids dont see it, but I do. He had a great sense of humour and timing.
I know that they weren't to know but they risked and lost for a holiday. After a fortnight holiday they would only have had the physical prizes that they gambled anyway as a momento of their time on the show. I've always thought that a holiday as a quiz show prize isn't as good as physical prizes. After the holiday is over all you are left with are memories.
Thank you so much for posting this... I've been looking for it for years! Don was my uncle (sadly he died of leukemia about 12 years ago). I've downloaded this and I'll be posting it on Facebook for his wife and daughters to see - I was going to link straight to this page, but there are far too many negative, ignorant comments which I don't want them to see. Thank you again... form all the McIntyre family! :-)
Just seen this comment. Sad to hear about your uncles passing, but its great that he's still being watched to this day, even though he's now been gone 20 years or so. Nice that the family all got to see this legendary clip all together too.
£890 for themselves plus £730 for their charity (which also won Lionel Smith that season's Bronze Bully) - both of which are safe regardless of what happens next. Then to win every prize on Bully's Prize Board. I can't blame these guys for having a gamble. They probably never felt so lucky before.
Peter Kay does a spot on impression of him when he does that. "Now Barry, before you whisk your lovely new wife, Julie, off to your honeymoon, it's over there in Barbados...LETS HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD HAVE MARRIED! OOH SHE'S FIFTEEN! SHE'S FILLIPINO! TAKE ER BACK BOYS! TAKER ER BACK!"
To be fair, that's a really nice star prize, even today. All the darts player had to do was to aim for treble 14 and I'm sure he would have got more than 40 with 3 darts
That holiday was worth nowhere near what a new car woud be worth back then though. Anyway they won £890 which is probably more than that holiday would cost in the early 80s.
I remember watching Jim do stand up - he did a bit about Bullseye and mentioned a couple that had gambled all their prizes...and lost. His reaction? 'Good job, you greedy bastards' 🤣🤣🤣
Annoys me when people today comment on how crap the prizes looked. Yes, a few were but in the early 80’s items such as tumble dryers, microwaves etc were new technology and therefore expensive. Even the humble VCR cost a tidy packet.
Exactly. £100 worth of books. £100 in 1986 is the equivalent of £294 today and that's just one prize. They'd already got £800+ cash as well. Worth about £2,300 today. Not bad for a teatime gameshow. Add all the other prizes, factor in inflation, plus 2 villas in Corfu for 2 weeks and you're talking about a serious chunk of money all in.
Why was he aiming to hit treble 20? Any decent darts player could hit two single 20s with three darts. He should've aimed to hit just below the wire of tops.
Most products today are cheap chinese worthless gimmicks that simply do not last. Pound shops are full of them and so are super markets. Even the high end products are starting to be produced in China. And you are right all bought on credit.
@@Mathemagical55 not really, the top prize was worth about 10k quid in todays money, they never gave the contestants prizes anyway, they were always given the cash equivilent, Jim Bowen reveled it a few years ago
To throw two treble ones was an absolute disaster, why didn't you go on the left-hand side of the board try and get the 40 needed, I would have taken prizes, alot of grey and beige clothing colours in those days 😁
Come back Jim,,we miss you! Great show and far better than the rubbish thats on these days. Don was unlucky, bit of nerves, they earned the right to gamble, both very good players. This isnt a few arrows down the pub,,lots of pressure with a TV audience. Its great TV!
With skills with a set of Darts like that that these guys would have been fools not to gamble! They could walk off with everything! Bully's special prize, all the stuff on the prize board and probably the star prize as well!
Some of the comments here are so immature and overindulged. The world has changed right? In the 80s this is how it was, no Internet and not everybody had more than one TV! People might mock these guys for being greedy, but to me they just felt they were on a winning streak. That's what happens too when you gamble on a regular basis. I think as far as the Pro-Dart Player goes, he should aimed more around the left of the board. What a shame, but when I was a kid in the 80s, I loved the buzz of these people winning - why not?!
there was another one where all 9 prizes were won and the couple gambled on the 101 or more with six darts and won the lot and the star prize by scoring 104 is this one on UA-cam as well
Off reading the comments.. these were simpler times. Some of these items were a bit of a luxury to have and people would have been happy to win these items. Of course it's daft, looking back, but I hope that we can all appreciate how MUCH more we have now!
yes tony looks very dapper in his chalk blue double breasted blazer, this was really amazing winning every prize, it must have amounted to at least £95
I had a hot point tumble dryer looked like that....worked for years until it almost burnt the shed down as smoke billowed out of the gap under the dials, was lucky I was in the garden
i know. i see Bullseye players do this ALL the time. They need 20 with three darts and end up scoring 7, when all they had to do was aim for 16,8,11,14,9,12 to guarantee the 20 points Can't believe how many Bullseye player lost by aiming for the treble 20 unnecessarily
what a sickner! if you read the history they gave away more speed boats with winners than any other prize. if you lost it was the car, holiday etc etc.. they bought a job lot of speed boats is the reason.
I remember seeing this when it first aired. It served these guys right for being greedy. Had BFH (Bus Fare Home) been in force then, it would have been doubly painful for them. As it was, there was no sympathy for these two in my house that night.
The fact they were guaranteed £890 from the first two rounds was a big factor in their decision to gamble the prizes. Normally the winners would only win half of that. Clearly they were after the cash, not the prizes, and would have probably sold the prizes for cash value. Good job the star prize was a holiday that wouldn't be transferable.
My granny has that exact tumble dryer at 1:51. In fact her whole house looks like an episode of bullseye.
Ha! That really made me laugh.
+Matthew Greenwell haha made me smile. Also presenter says 'Most important decision of your life' haha. Gambling a bunch of shite... big decision LOL

Did she have a Jim Bowen in her house as well?! 😂

Hahaha gold isn't it.
I wonder if their wives have stopped mentioning this yet?

Doubtful.
They won't stopped mentioning this in the afterlife.

"Look what you could have won." The biggest kick in the teeth a contestant could ever endure on a game show. 🤣

"Take your time now please" fucking hell Tony ,you missed your vocation in life as a lolly pop man.
And the producers heaved a huge sigh of relief!
And the producers heave a huge 'fuck it' as they have to store the shit prizes for another week.....
I guess they get them on sale or return

Weren’t shit at the time Einstein 🙄
@@adriang2053 Sure, £100 worth of random books is what every family wants.
Picked up all of these prizes at my local car boot sale last week. Fiver for the lot! Ahahahaha! ; D
you overpaid
Definitely overpaid by a couple of quid.
You got ripped off matee
You overpaid by £4.99

Risking all 9 prizes makes little sense.
Lol ! - love the way Jim rubs the star prize in :D

Tweeeeernty
They don’t do creases in trousers like that anymore, what a glorious age it was.
you can't beat a bit of bully, but a bit of bully can beat you
Looks like a pile of old trash when the prizes are placed together
Yes, but free trash.
@@professionalgamblers6277 I wouldn't want it even for free
I don’t know that scooter looked ok, don’t know about the 4 wheeled trike though
Looks like when I filled my car boot last week to go the tip 🤣

Looked to me like he was aiming for treble 20 but he got nervous and his aim was off. He didn't even need to hit a treble 2 20s and they'd have won.
The end of a beautiful friendship
The one time there was a half-decent star prize and this pair of eejits go and....
a battery trike with four wheels...lol
Aye. Quad.
They had a two-wheeled unicycle the following week
And a three wheeled quad the week later
I loved the way bullseye used to rub it in what you could of won 😂😂
Like for Jim Bowen RIP... What a legend, and a bloody good bloke he was. :)
Doed anyone else have the same spontaneous urge to do a bit of local fly-tipping when they see that set of neatly presented "prizes"?
Lol!
Thank goodness it wasn't the BFH. The Bus Fare Home....
Bowen couldn't wait to show them what they lost
At least it saved them having to take it all to the tip a few years later .
R.I.P Jim Bowen
A lovely sincere man.
I like the way Jim perked up when they bombed out, think he heaved a sigh of relief...
To be honest I'd have gambled just so I didn't have to take all that shit home
I remember watching Jim do stand up - he did a bit about Bullseye and mentioned a couple that had gambled all their prizes...and lost. His reaction? 'Good job, you greedy bastards' 🤣🤣🤣
Trouble is you can’t beat the story about the drunk Irish lads who,won £20
A lot of people on here saying they were greedy. The whole point of the show was to win that coveted star prize.
If i was the 'non darts player' I'd have battered him when they got outside
He was trying to be big man and hit treble twenty instead of playing safe
@@James-b7p2k Yeah total mistake
He probably did.
Aw watching this ruined my day. Used to love it when they gambled and won.
should gone for 14 and 11, worst case is he would've need to hit an 18 with the last dart!
3:40 definition of being Spursy
You have won the contents of this week's Lidl magazine
I used to laugh when the special prize was a speedboat and the contestants came from a tower block somewhere in Birmingham.
hahahhahaha
Always thought the speedboat went to someone in Derby, whoever lived in the Birmingham tower block won a barbecue and a set of patio furniture.
They got cash alternatives! Interview with former Producer is on the net.
'Remember what's gone Ray'. Yeah, thanks Tony, the fucking great lights help.
lol
have to say that for over 35 years ago the prizes were really good.
no, even back then these 'prizes' were considered to be 24 carat shite

The disappointed bull just rubs it in......LOL!
The saddest moment ever captured on TV!
That's understating it hugely.
That's understating it hugely.
the wickedest thing since the crucifixion
The saddest episode is when they won the star prize and it turned out to be a load of clothes 😂. Got to have been the worst star prize ever
sad??? u mean u actually prefer it when they win?? all my family used to sit there hoping theyd blow it and lose the lot, cuz its ****ing hilarious!
Love it when the non dart player beats his partner, then they lose everything.
If only they'd said, we have had a lovely day Jim were going to take what we've already won.
Why was he aiming to hit treble 20?
Any decent darts player could hit two single 20s with three darts. He should've aimed to hit just below the wire of tops.
He probably was aiming for single 20s but when he started to miss his options went down hill.
All he had to do was throw 3 darts up the left side and would probably have got the job done
Funny how none of these prizes would excite anyone these days. Not in a world of endless credit!
They were crap at the time too.
Most products today are cheap chinese worthless gimmicks that simply do not last. Pound shops are full of them and so are super markets.
Even the high end products are starting to be produced in China.
And you are right all bought on credit.

3:49 Tony Green sounds really camp when he says "and twenty".
2:56 , haha , the blue rinse mafia giving it some welly!!
Wow the dart player out of the 2 needs 40 and shoots trip 1 trip 1 single 20. I would have sucker punched him in the ball bag if I were his partner.
Why oh why would you go for 20s when you only need 40? Cant believe they gambled all those prizes for the notoriously awful star prize? Madness.
Boys, you've won a pile of crap that isn't worth half what the advertisers pay for 5 seconds on early Sunday night advertising on ITV...
"We've got nine crap prizes and we don't want ten crap prizes, so we are going to gamble."
Listen to tony!
And 14 that's 51...
Incredible accomplishment, and then...
That black & decker drills - blown a few of them up.
Cant even count to 61. This is why its the best show ever. 😂
I still watch this every single night....... And very single night... 11 o'clock....... Every night

Come back Jim,,we miss you! Great show and far better than the rubbish thats on these days. Don was unlucky, bit of nerves, they earned the right to gamble, both very good players. This isnt a few arrows down the pub,,lots of pressure with a TV audience. Its great TV!
Jim can't come back. He's dead.
I thought that the non dart player on Bullseye was supposed to have been nowhere near as good as the actual dart player.
With skills with a set of Darts like that that these guys would have been fools not to gamble! They could walk off with everything! Bully's special prize, all the stuff on the prize board and probably the star prize as well!
All tneir prizes. Thrown away.
If they'd won they'd have been given a motorboat not a holiday, guaranteed!

£100 worth of book would have bought the entire stock of Waterstones back then.
Always thought the programme should have been called "Bowen arrows"
The most important decision in your life ? Ask the audience.
The motor scooter was alright, and the holiday wasn't bad. Shame they lost it all!
Bloody hell! Fantastic!
Bus fare home lads. Bet the security guard takes their bully tankards and bendy bullies off them at the door for next weeks contestants.
the way they shook hands afterwards maybe they thought it was 101 or less
Talk about rubbing it in " NOW HAVE A LOOK, HAVE A LOOK WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON"!!

899 pound back then is enough for the holiday anyway haha
899 quid back then is about 3 grand now

Of course it's daft, looking back, but I hope that we can all appreciate how MUCH more we have now!
I'm pretty certain the combined total of those prizes would be more than the star prize!!
Yes including the "sunny holiday in Kabul"
Come and have a look at what you could’ve won priceless Jim Bowen
Apparently they have a max budget of £6000 for the star prize each week.
yes tony looks very dapper in his chalk blue double breasted blazer, this was really amazing winning every prize, it must have amounted to at least £95
One of the most important decisions you’ve made in your lives 😂😂😂
worse than that he said it was _the_ most important
I had a hot point tumble dryer looked like that....worked for years until it almost burnt the shed down as smoke billowed out of the gap under the dials, was lucky I was in the garden
Still got mine.
Anywhere on the left of the board would've been enough! 16,8,11,14,9,12. Fuck going for treble 20 like some sort of hero.
i know. i see Bullseye players do this ALL the time.
They need 20 with three darts and end up scoring 7, when all they had to do was aim for 16,8,11,14,9,12 to guarantee the 20 points
Can't believe how many Bullseye player lost by aiming for the treble 20 unnecessarily
the music on the star prize though wtf pmsl
Unexpected. I thought they were going to win. 😢
They overthought it. Instead of playing for the big scores the second dart player should’ve just randomly thrown at the board
Great show r.i.p Jim bowen
Our two brave lads
Looks like our garden shed on exhibition at a museum all them prizes together
Why did they gamble - a holiday for four have only cost about £900 back then anyway!
See what happens when you get greedy!!
And they've never spoke since
You should have lived to 101 or more.....RIP 😢
That Holiday looked unreal.
Would never have been the holiday had they won it.
SUPER, SMASHING, GREAT, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON . . . .
what a sickner! if you read the history they gave away more speed boats with winners than any other prize. if you lost it was the car, holiday etc etc.. they bought a job lot of speed boats is the reason.
Are these guys still around? Can we have a whip round?
Why didn't he go for treble 14 or the bull ? Hitting the one or treble one was always an option
I remember seeing this when it first aired. It served these guys right for being greedy. Had BFH (Bus Fare Home) been in force then, it would have been doubly painful for them.
