The show originally aired on Monday nights in September 1981 and was produced by ATV. Three pairs of contestants (each pair with one person to answer questions and one darts player) were pitted against one another to win prizes ranging from major prizes (such as a new car, a speedboat, a caravan or a luxury holiday) to consolation prizes of a set of darts, a tankard (for male contestants), a silver goblet (for female contestants) and a 'Bendy Bully' (a rubber model of the show's mascot). Programme associates on the show were Mickey Brennan and Roger Edwards. īullseye was created and owned by Andrew Wood (with comedian Norman Vaughan), who came up with the idea after research into aspects of game shows with mass appeal. Bullseye became widely recognised in British culture during the 1980s, and attracted audiences of up to 20 million viewers at its peak. The show sported an animated mascot named Bully, an anthropomorphic large brown bull who wore a red and white striped shirt and blue trousers. A revival produced by Granada Yorkshire for the Challenge TV network, hosted by Dave Spikey, aired in 2006. Jim Bowen presented the show during its entire 14-year run. The original series aired on the ITV network and was produced by ATV in 1981, then by Central from 1982 until 1995.
The show features three pairs of contestants, each consisting of an amateur darts player and a quizzer, competing in darts games and quizzes to win cash and prizes. Bullseye is a British darts-themed television game show created by Andrew Wood and Norman Vaughan.
