Who doesn't love a bit of Bully? Well, good news – we can finally stop trying to beat it because ITV is bringing back the beloved game show for a special Christmas episode. And who better to host it than the one and only Freddie Flintoff.
It's been over 40 years since Bullseye first graced our TV screens in 1981, and it still holds a special place in the hearts of many. With its unique blend of trivia and darts, it captured the charm and chaos that made it a true classic. For those unfamiliar, each team of two consists of an amateur dart player, known as "the thrower," and their partner, known as "the knower," who answers questions in hopes of winning points and prizes.
And who could forget the iconic moment when the former host would taunt the contestants with "here's what you could have won," as they sadly waved goodbye to their dream of owning a garden shed or speedboat they had no room for.
But now, a new generation of fans can experience the magic of Bullseye, while those of us who spent our Sunday nights shouting answers at the TV can relive the excitement. It's no wonder the show attracted a whopping 15 to 20 million viewers weekly at its peak – it was true appointment-to-watch TV.
And at the helm of this special episode is none other than Freddie Flintoff, the most likable man on television. From his days as a celebrated cricket player to his successful transition into hosting, Flintoff has captured the hearts of the nation with his wit, charm, and heart of gold.
Joining Freddie is the rising star of darts, Luke Littler. At just 17 years old, Luke is already the reigning Premier League Darts, Grand Slam, and World Series of Darts Finals champion, and is hailed as one of the most promising talents in the UK. He's single-handedly bringing darts back into the spotlight and into more living rooms than ever before. And to think, he wasn't even born when Bullseye last aired.
Even Freddie himself can't contain his excitement, saying, "I love the darts, and Bullseye was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I can't believe I get to host this Christmas special. You can't beat a bit of Bully!"
But don't just take Freddie's word for it. Make sure to tune in on December 22 at 6pm on ITV for the one-off Christmas special of Bullseye. You won't want to miss it!
