To those of a certain generation, this will take us back to the days of when Sundays meant it was nearly time for bath, and bed. Then Monday morning and school the next day! Top show! Jim Bowen gone but NEVER forgotten!
Yeah that was the old Sunday routine, and watching them back now it's "we had one of them in our house when I was a kid" when you look at the prize board or "tenner says Bully's star prize is a speedboat"
High road. Bullseye. Bath during heartbeat. Dry off. You’ve been framed. Mum ironing the uniforms all placed on back of setee. Bed. Another miserable school week awaits 😂
I have fond memories of watching this show with my dear Nanny. She sadly passed away right at the end of 2017, never got to see 2018. Whenever I feel lonely, I'll put on a rerun of Bullseye and reminisce of the times we used to watch this together. Farewell Nan. May you rest in peace with Grandpa and Jim.
This was the first edition of Bullseye to be filmed at Central's Lenton Lane studios in Nottingham as the previous 9 series were filmed at the Broad Street studios in Birmingham.
No one could've presented this show like Jim Bowen. He was a perfect fit for a format based on darts. His long time partner Tony Green passed away earlier this year and the good thing is that they're finally reunited. Rest easy guys ❤ 😊
The prizes (giggles). I lovedddd this back in the 80s and early 90s, watched it every weeek with my dad and brother. Those were the days! i miss them very much for so many reasons!
Every Sunday evening as a kid I'd watch this. School the next day. Up the hill to Bedfordshire after. Good memories from the late 80's and early 90's. Thanks for the upload
So Sorry to hear of the death of Tony Green such a part of this iconic show. I still enjoy every night with its "large cash prizes" and Star prize. There is a programme to be made on tracking down some of the contestents and finding out if they still have any of their wins! Just good ordinary people making a great show RIP star!!!
Appreciate the upload thankyou! The buzz of this was when the contestants would gamble and win the Star Prize, can't believe at first that non-dart player hit 1 twice! She rescued it though :-)
A Wonderful way to Kick Off Series 10 of Bullseye 34 years ago today, Also it's Now been 40 Years since Bully (The Mascot for Bullseye) Started to feature more Prominently in the Show as Well as it's Iconic Theme Music!
I was born in 1984 and had only the vaguest memories of Bullseye on a Sat night when I was about 9, so I couldn't even appreciate Peter Kay's piss-take of it. It's 2020 and I've got ADDICTED to it on Challenge! I've never thrown a dart in my life but it's honestly more fun and suspenseful than ANY gameshow I've ever seen. It's also such a friendly show: Tony Green is brilliantly supportive to everyone. But mostly, I'm amazed by how warm, funny, informal, natural and off-the-cuff Jim Bowen is (RIP). I'm fascinated by his ability to connect with every contestant. I truly don't think any gameshow host, right up to 2020, has ever surpassed him.
@@willatkinson9729 Haha, first time in many years I've been called a young whippersnapper: thanks for that 😂 I was so sure about it being on Sat, I looked it up: from 1993 to 1995 it was indeed moved to Saturdays. So we young whippersnappers will only remember it being aired before Gladiators!
My father would always insist that the "non-darts player" aim "left of the board". I'm pretty certain it would not have improved their score, but he was very sure it would.
@@stephensnell1379 Exactly! So tired of this "when I was a kid" rubbish. I'm 36 and all my peers say the world was better in the 80s and 90s. Every person who ever lived thought that the world was better when they were a kid.... because, duh, they were a kid and therefore shielded from reality.
By the last season Bullseye had some argued ran its course! But it could be argued it was another staple of British being taken awy from the British public as our culture, environment, way of life was radically changing!
As someone who lives across the pond in Canada, I find this show interesting. Also, the logo on the guy in the blue shirt looks like a Toronto Blue Jays one. I wonder how he came about that in an area where baseball isn't all that popular?
the first ever live broadcast of a baseball game in the UK was the 1993 World Series, which the Blue Jays won. This show was from 1990, so I guess this guy was ahead of the curve, or maybe he had Canadian relatives, like me. My Canadian grandmother watched Bullseye every week with the family up until her death in '92.
@@iansmith8263 Sounds like the UK picked a good series to start broadcasting live MLB games. When the Blue Jays' Joe Carter hit the home run to win it for Toronto in game 6 of the '93 World Series, it was only the second time ever it was won in that fashion. The Jays still play in the same stadium, but with newer turf. Also, although some people still call it SkyDome, it's now officially known as Rogers Centre. Cheers from Thunder Bay, Ontario. ;)
I have watched a good few of these reruns and i realised how much Tony Greene would put the contestants under pressure before they throw but jim bowen was even worse in fact and pardon the pun...he was a bigger bully than Bully himself ...watch the way he treats the players
Omg loved this show this is what you could od won a jet ski both live in Birmingham didn't matter didn't put your hand out 230 with remember a clock for every room of the house always confused me said mum there's 3 clocks 2 family's mum said well if they live in a bedsit they sitting pretty and 2 a white 1991 microwave with matching washing machine not each to split but loved this show .
😎😁 an the good auld Bullie days what a show when you were growing up, should bring it bk get Big Phil the power tae hoist it w.imagim3 how good it could be today with the level of darts out there now 😁
Couldn't they have stretched the prize budget to a Maestro at least? The Mini was over 30 years old by this point, people thought they were being skinflints when they offered a Morris Ital (which was only 10 years old at the time of airing).
To those of a certain generation, this will take us back to the days of when Sundays meant it was nearly time for bath, and bed. Then Monday morning and school the next day! Top show! Jim Bowen gone but NEVER forgotten!
I just looked on Google and Jim Bowen died on 14th March 2018

He was a brilliant host. Met him once at a quiz, very nice man.

Watching this in 2021 & seems strange to see people without masks & leading a normal life.
@@SMX815 Ikr. Just want this dreadful virus to go 😢
@Estella Boddorf Yeah you're definitely not working with Angelo to get people using it
Always loved this show.. you’ve won the special prize it’s a speedboat.. but Jim I live in the high rise flats 😕😂
And probably lives in Sheffield
Ben Smith lol 👍
@@bensmith4814 it's a classic
it's always people that live in land locked places that win them too 🤣

Absolute classic. Miss the olden days when I'd sit back at 2am with a lager in my hand binge watching these 😂
Must have had plenty of scotch video tapes then 😂😂
Thank you and R.I.P Jim. You'll probably never know just how much entertainment you gave to us viewers.
More than Smashing.
Ann was a seriously good player. Under pressure, consistently delivering. You win.....a MINI!
How are they supposed to split it between them? Chainsaw?

I loved this episode
the ginger gets 22 , she saves it with that treble - what a shot.
he was useless
For 1990, thats a pretty good prize!!
God, I love this show.
Fav comfort show
Man, what a classic! I remember it so well.
Late Sunday afternoon, sat by an open fire, eating tea and a bit of Bully... Always made you forget you had school next day!
That 101 or more gamble was basically 'Bullseye - The Movie'. Absolute perfect drama.
What a wholesome programme!
Good prorammes like this are long gone.
So Sorry to hear of the death of Tony Green such a part of this iconic show. I still enjoy every night with its "large cash prizes" and Star prize.

They were Supper smashing great
the show with my mum and my dad good Innocent TV that everyone could watch
Appreciate the upload thankyou! The buzz of this was when the contestants would gamble and win the Star Prize, can't believe at first that non-dart player hit 1 twice! She rescued it though :-)
Bobby George, a true legend, what a great man!
I met bobby George in December 27
Im 30 in February and this brings back so much nostalgia

Happy 38th birthday to arguably the best gameshow ever
RIP Jim Bowen
Bullseye and the Inbetweeners in my opinion the 2 best shows ever on television, unfortunately both got cancelled :(
Goodnight Jim, Without You, No One Can Beat A Bit Of Bully :(
We love & miss ya Jim. I do enjoy watching the reruns on ‘Challenge TV’ x

It was broadcast on a Sunday actually. You were a young whipper snapper, so your memory fail is understandable.

@@slashdisco the final series was on a Saturday afternoon in 1995.
@@slashdisco 100% correct, I was born a few years after you but only remember this on sat afternoons. Seems it was originally a sunday.
Use to watch this very good at darts and snooker. ❤😋
"one of the best British cars ever built" sadly, this was true.
I wish I had hung myself to this show and not coronation street, there would have been more cooperation with bullseye 😃✌️❤️🇬🇧
can't look at Jim the same anymore after Mel B on Bo Selecta! haha
You can't beat a bit of bully...
You've won a fitted kitchen. I'm addicted to this always watched it.
We lost a legend here, he was a super great smashing gameshow host.
That queens joke wouldnt stand now. Legend
Neither would pronouncing that guy’s surname - snowflakes
Classic. Fond memories of this 😁👍
You can't beat a bit of bully. Love it
Loved this and when said in one lol and how 90% of the time special prize was a speed boat 🤣
Who the fuck back then wanted a croquet set? Even us softie Southerners loved this prog.
R.i.p Jim
Super smashing great it was
6:04 That’s The BULLSEYE
Love the prizes. Really good for even today's standards
From the back of the Argos catalogue.
@@SanFran51 regardless still excellent prizes
JIM BOWEN = LEGEND! 😎
My fav show
So they got lumbered with the croquet set after all lol
Simon and the "Business Blaze" channel sent me here.
Actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
My father would always insist that the "non-darts player" aim "left of the board". I'm pretty certain it would not have improved their score, but he was very sure it would.
Jim is a legend.
nostalgia right here
I miss being a young kid watching this.
World was a better place then.
The world is fine nowadays too

It's amazing how little men (and even some women) cared about their appearance on TV back then
aye, them wer't days
what are you expecting, top hat and tails
I wonder if Peter Kay’s sister was saying “how do they spilt a car” when this was on?
When you pass gardens away from the sea and there is a clapped out boat.
A croquet set, some binoculars and a tv lol To be honest though, id love that mini lol
20:34 I don't think emphasizing that the TV is in colour was necessary in 1990... but with a remote, sure!
I was 8 in 1990 had a little portable black and white TV in my bedroom. They were still fairly common
Standard of the darts in the late 80s & early 90s on Bullseye was pretty good
When the guy says his pub is called The Queen's ha ha
Wow.. I forgot that Bullseye actually asked real questions, would put any gameshow today, to shame.
Love Bullseye U can't Beat a bit of Bully👏👏👏
The time-wasting at the beginning of these was criminal.
Bowen would get absolutely cancelled today. Sad times, wish we were back in the 90's
By the last season Bullseye had some argued ran its course! But it could be argued it was another staple of British being taken awy from the British public as our culture, environment, way of life was radically changing!
I bet Bronze Bully was more than the World title to many pro darters. Good to see Bobby George in this.
Jeeze many of the people who were in Bullseye will be pensioners now.
They need to bring it back, and the main prize is a winter fuel payment.
19:11 that’s my daughter part when she laughed😂😂😂
Any Procrastinators here?
christ that was quick
Anne really came in clutch at the end there
Super smashing great!
That 8 year old is now the same age as me 41 time is sad

Can't believe they left Jim hanging

Simpler days...
Nice Toronto Blue Jays top. Somebody has family in Ontario.
at 18:40 the woman goes to
shake hands but pulls it back when bobby and and jim resume chatting
2:30 bloody hell austin healey’s somehow got younger over the years
Brian might be the best darts player I've seen on the show, shame his partner was useless
I can imagine Brian berating his partner for years about that fateful night.
Don’t tell me, I haven’t watched this yet, the big prize is a crappy car
No way, an actual decent car lol
Jim: Congratulations you've won a speed boat
Thanks Jim i live in a bungalow with me mum in tamworth
How do they split a car? With a chainsaw?
I feel sorry for the man's kids now with that Croquet Set!
Back in the day these were fantastic prizes, today....err...relics....
Why did Jim Bowen look so old? Only 52 here and 43 in the first series
he looked like that until he died... you could say he grew into it
That mini is in a scrapyard now
Couldn't they have stretched the prize budget to a Maestro at least? The Mini was over 30 years old by this point, people thought they were being skinflints when they offered a Morris Ital (which was only 10 years old at the time of airing).
At least it was a car and not a speedboat
