Thanks for this very funny upload the humour of which will be lost on younger members in the comments. I grew up in the eighties and what's strange watching it now is how normal and working class everybody seems delivery drivers , warehouse managers, taxi drivers, housewives. And just the fact everybody is quite nervous and timid. Contrast that with today when contestants on TV shows act as if they've been on TV all their lives! Full of it. I miss the Britain of those non woke non reality TV days. I'm really nostalgic. In fact I wish I could back!.
I was born in 1990 but still get the 80s. Corny prizes, working class salt of the earth folks, I can see them now towing their new speedboat back home in their Allegro balancing a next of tables between them both
The Contestants were often desperate for the cash and prizes. Of course there was the British schadenfreude when an obviously over confident couple gambled and lost.
That guy was a bastard, I was cameraman once recording a show he was part of, he did a stand up comedy act and decided to come over and say "If you film me I'll wrap that fucking camera round your neck! - this is my act and it's copyright!" - I simply replied "you only have to ask mate", then sat stony faced through his whole act - which was just a long tirade of racist, and sexist rants.
Them guys from Norfolk when he did a fairly ropey impression of Bernard Matthews You could tell by the tone of his voice when he yelled 'Am I talking to myself!?' struggle to get laughs out of it.
One of the reasons I love Jim, absolutely no filter on what he's thinking. When contestents lose the big prize, his annoyance that they've wasted everyone's Sunday evening.
Talk about joy immediately extinguished, they fluke a win then immediately the screen went up and they ran over to see their prize and it dawned on them what they had won you can sense them thinking what use is this? Bowen was trying to reassure them by saying its worth a fortune, its worth a fortune. On the secondhand market they would probably have been struggling to have got more than a £1000 for it in todays money.
I love his "worth a fortune" comment, I heard that whenever someone won a car on Family Fortunes, Les would whisper "DON'T TURN THE KEY!", because after the show they offered the contestants a favourable sale back to the car suppliers, with the car untouched. I wonder if 1982 Central TV had the same deal, or if they just let everyone work it out themselves?
Agreed. No man could mock catatonic yokels or give away Teasmades with the same lightheartedness as JB. Fun fact: Jim was in his early 30s when he presented Bullseye
If I won a speedboat on Bullseye I would have sold it the money back then was more beneficial that’s for sure! People were not gambling the 240 they won because they knew it would have come in handy for a couple of weeks!
I made the same joke in a Welsh pub during Euro 2016. I was attacked with bricks and broken bottles. Luckily the ambulance came. And by ambulance I mean two blokes in cloth caps with a stretcher
Didn't know Rose west was a former contestant.

They actually did have a serial killer who was on the show.
Sometimes you are driving about and see an old speed boat in a driveway covered in moss and think they must have been on bullseye 🎯
Fantastic speedboat 🚤 always wanted one
The speedboat winners always lived in the Midlands 300 miles away from the sea.

Lookin at his Mrs, who could blame him?

'She's just a housewife'🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get his wife kicked in the nuts when she heard that comment.
"They were all West Indian. Nothing to be ashamed of."🤣
I love how the woman in the Dennis Taylor glasses tries to look like she's contemplating the answer, when in fact she's contemplating the question.
You've been quite forgiving. Every other bugger's compared her to Rose West
She is still contemplating it...42 years later..
Those massive brown paper tenners were the nuts!
"Am i talking to myself ?" Love it !! 🤣
It's a fucking speedboat again. Bootiful!

Won a speedboat, lives on the 12th floor of a council flat in Dudley and don't have a car.
Get the joke right would you it a flat in Walsall
Ha, they must have been baffled as to what to do with it!
@@sticksman1979 well they probably sold it seeing the budget for the start prize each week was £6000
‘Does yer wife work?’
‘No she’s just a housewife’ with 2 kids.
I’d have liked to have seen him at work the next day with 2 black eyes and no pack up.

Theres another speedboat. They really did take advantage of that deal they got from acme speedboats! Brilliant times.
2:30 Worth a fortune = Worthless
Imagine having that in your working class back garden what a planter.
I reckon Jim had a couple of cheeky lines backstage on this one. Bootiful!
"Does your wife work?"
"No, she's just a housewife." 😂😂😂😂
"I'm a literacy teacher" JIM "Teaching Semi Illiterates"
Imagine what a massive imposition that ‘speedboat’ would be on the average person’s life.
It's because Central TV got a job lot of speedboats hence they become the special prize.
You would be able to get to work a hell of a lot quicker 🙂
Rose West was hoping to win a new patio set...
More like a Dining Set with extra sharp carving knives..
"worth a fortune" says Jim, knowing that its gonna get sold!! Lol. Kx
LOL. He says it twice as the reality hits them that they have won something that did not want or need...:)
I love Jim sliding and counting the wedge with his big gold Sov ring 👌🏻😆
You must admit that it was a riveting watch seeing him do that on Prime Time TV...
I have become addicted to this compilation.....Yoko.....Omo....

John Cooper was a serial killer
Jim never made a contestant feel at ease. Terrible banter
Jim was fine.
He just took the piss.It was allowed back then,even in 1982
Patronising everybody,
"That's just unfortunate ! " lol 😂🤣

So cheesy but so addictive 🎯
Just the best in quality low quality entertainment.
Good editing for this piece made it.
It’s funny thinking back, a speed boat seemed like a genuinely good prize. It’s only now seeing it again, like WTF were they thinking!
How many murderers were on this, first John Copper now Rose West 🤔
Bully was on the rambunctious side. In the latter days he almost took out Jim every week just as the show started. Oh yeah, Bully was quite a c***.
They won a speedboat and they're from Tredegar in the Welsh valleys!
Smashing super great!
Need to buy a chainsaw for the speedboat or flog it over in calais
“It’s worth a fortune”.... but useless in the Welsh Valley.
Amazing editing
Fantastic! just what I wanted, i live 100 miles from the water and I win a Speedboat?
Check out Jim,s mucky tenners!!!
