Imagine gambling all nine prizes, wondering if you're gonna win a speedboat, a holiday in the Seychelles or a Mini Metro. Nope, it's just some shite from Argos
This was the 80s, this show had good prizes for the time even the money was great. Mind you I know a guy who won a speedboat and I am not joking it sat in a car park in Allershaw place (In Gowkthrapple) for years, untouched and unused. He couldn't sell the thing either - not because of rules, because nobody wanted it and it was costly to move to people would buy it. So sadly it sat and rusted away.
Did your parents live in the midlands miles away from the sea and have a speedboat covered in moss sitting on their driveway? That would confirm your suspicion.
That charity shop next door to the bullseye studio must have loved seeing Jim bowen coming in every Friday morning to pick out the prizes for bully's prize board
1988 the stuff them 2 lads won, round our way folks would have come round to gawp!! A brand new washing machine as opposed to a twin tub or weekly trip to the laundrette for starters!! They played well then showed bottle & kept their nerve in the days before being on tv had been normalised so to speak. I bet ppl still talk of a little bit of Bully round their's!!
Nah mate north wales. What do you not remember the 1980s;- strikes ,power cuts, mass unemployment etc. I remember going to neighbours to watch FA cup final on a colour tv +not our B&W set. Why where were u living & going to school? Mozambique? poverty was real man round our way.@@alanoconnor6921
@@contingency9 You could still get some pretty good sound from the record deck. Copy music onto decent tapes for playing on the Sony Walkman when out and about. Better than most digital music today, where the instruments are dulled away or they have done a Sharon Osbourne remaster on the original tapes.
It's cos the prizes were shit, lol. They were sharing 9 crap prizes between two fellas, might as well have a go if you're even a little bit confident of hitting 101!
In 1986 a couple won all the 9 prizes then gabled then lost it all a holiday. They did take home £980 or something in the £900s ( I worked out the exact sum that's £2,550.17 s in todays money November 2023) in cash between them though.This has only happened twice in the history of Bullseye 1981 - 1995.
The star prize was usually a caravan or a boat - the people that won the boat invariably lived nowhere near a body of water big enough to sail it on - the municipal swimming pool or the boating lake in the town park were too small! The prizes on gameshows in the 70s were fairly cheap usually carriage clocks or Timex watches - the biggest cash prize rarely exceeded £1,000 and the “star prize” was usually a foreign car (the budget wouldn’t run to a British one) - over time, the budget has increased - but most of today’s gameshows tend to give away cash!
My favourite bit is watching Jim's genuinely animated reaction when the contestants win. Particularly when he starts grabbing them and ragging them in the direction of the prize, occasionally slapping their arms or back, grabbing their necks and forcing them in to the car or to face the camera before aggressively pointing to the camera and waving like a mad man, asking them to follow his lead! It's just absolutely hilarious. You can see where Keith Lemon gets his Bo Selecta inspiration from!
Somebody once asked Jim how he felt when somebody gambled and lost i.e did he and his team feel sorry. His answer was... ' Do we bollocks. Greedy B,stards. We p!ss ourselves laughing...' There ya go. Nowt like a bit o bully...
Always found it hilarious when they won a kitchen between them. I’ll take the dishwasher mate you have the fridge and we will split the tumble dryer where you have it one week I’ll have it the next.
Funny thing was that when they got home their benefits were stopped coz they were unavailable for work the day they were recording,that’s a true story coz it was me that grassed them up lol lol.
I worked on production on this very edition and i remember it so well coz i had to get into a brand new ford Fiesta and quickly drive off and replace it with a kitchen unit 💯
@@quack437 Or two blokes, not even related (sometimes barely friends) who win a car, a caravan or a speedboat. You couldn't move in Scunthorpe in the 80s for bloody speedboats.
Grandma Phyllis' favourite TV show. We used to schlep out from Watford to Clacton to see her on Sundays (what a ball ache pre M25 !) and get to her nursing home only to be assailed by Bullseye at ear splitting volume. If anyone spoke the volume went up ! Vale Phyllis...
@@huna1950 Haven't been called a kid since the 1980's and my shock comes the fact the prizes were not usually from brands like Sony. Usually any kind of stereo or hi-fi would be some cheapo off brand like Saisho.
Yeh but that means pretty much same prize to each of the guys Ps-bear in mind if you won a bunch of stuff today what folk 40 years ago will be saying and laughing at you lol
Rewatching these again on Challenge each weekday evening (and Sunday mornings). You often see the non dart player get a good score, and the dart player absolutely blow it. Even though some of these episodes are close to 40 years ago, it still leaves you feeling sick. More often than not too, it's a 'Holiday of a lifetime' type prize, just to rub salt into the wounds! (though my favorite gamble win was the two guys who won a Vauxhall Nova and then told Jim that neither of them could drive!) The nostalgia value of the old pros like Cliff Lazarenko, Bobby George, Maureen Flowers, Bristow and Lowe etc is good fun. Plus the prize board is like a sociological study in and of itself. You can see how certain things like Microwaves, stereos, TVs and computers became more and more common. Plus it's always a thrill when you see a prize that you actually had in the old days. My dad had the Chinon 35mm camera that's been a prize a few times. The big old Ferguson TV my nan and grandad had, my Commodore 64 and even the Nicam stereo Goodmans VHS (with flip down front control panel) my dad had. I also saw the identical JVC video camera that Marty McFly had in Back to the Future!
Enjoyable post but did anyone have a Fizzy Drinks Machine immortalized by one episode where Jim proclaimed "You've won the fizzy drinks machine!!" closely followed by the NON Darts player landing in the same bed "You've LOST the fizzy drinks machine!!" 😀
To be fair, i still have that exact Hotpoint washing machine 😂. My nan & grandad brought it in the 80s, gave it to my mum & dad in the 90s and they gave it to me when i got my own place about 10 years ago. My mum & dad have gone through 3 washing machines since. So in this case "they don't make them like they used to!"
@@nelsonhibbert5267 Unfortunately they aren't very good anymore, 2 of the ones my parents had to replace within the past 10 years were Hotpoint. Although i don't think bosch are any better either now. Sadly things aren't built to last anymore.
@@adamholmes91 Ahh bugger. They do a 10 year parts guarantee though (no idea if that's a good sign or not) and it'll likely only get light use so if I can get 5 years out of it I'll be happy. But it's great that Bullseye is inspiring conversations about domestic appliances long after it's inception.
@@madabbafan Yes they did. If you lost Bully's Prize Gamble, until 1991 you kept the money won earlier. After 1991, when BFH was introduced, the money was staked as well as the prizes so if you took the gamble and lost then you went home with nothing.
Lol, people are quick to forget that back In the early 80s these sort of prices were actually pretty decent for the working class! Hence the gamble reaction a lot of people couldn’t believe they would risk it!
@violet They were allowed to choose the cash value of the star prize. Most of the stuff was no good unless the pair were family. Can hardly share a kitchen or a three piece suite😂
He nearly messed that up! Was gambling thinking 10 or 15 but three tens would have been a disaster. Had he gone between 11/14 he wouldn’t have had that problem. Even three 11s would have done the trick. Squeaky bum time at the end there 😂
The boys gave the prizes away I believe to charity....Good lads they were...guy in the pink shirt Glenn Billam was a tremendous local cricketer, and played football for Worksop Town when they were Northern Premier, for those of us old enough to remember it .
I might have seen him play. I used to watch South Liverpool in those days and Worksop were one of the teams in the league, which, as you say, was the Northern Premier.
"You have to decide if you want to gamble all these prizes for Bulleys Star prize" that's what was said...one prize, not a combination of prizes. If they had lost I bet the car would have been shown as the prize.
Notice the "child's robot toy" looked very different when it was with all the other prizes at 2.45. Bloody rob dogs. I bet Jim swiped the first one for his grandkids !
Jim B. prob swiped it… def. gives off the air of someone that didn’t like others getting more than him. So the star prize was a cooker, fridge and a microwave. They already won a washing machine.
This brings back some massive memories - sat around the table at Sunday dinner with this blaring out. For a minute I almost got that chap with the tache was that wanted murder suspect who had appeared on the show once.
The Welsh boyo with the curly hair and tash,he was 1 bad article,in the end a pair of his sons shorts broke the case,ya dunno who's out there blending in with society, frightening 😮
After Big Break with Jim Davidson and John Virgo started, they tried to get Jim Bowen and Tony Green to ham it up in the same way at the start of each episode of Bullseye.
Best ones were when they won the special prize and their faces would be lit up until they dragged a beige Metro out and you could see their faces drop in the realisation of what they just actually won .
Classic example of greed. It didn't occur to either of them to give the other contestants a chance to go for the Star prize. They obviously hadn't won enough in their minds.
So the big prize was actually some stuff from the prize board spread out a bit... (same washer, 14" TV and designer kettle & toaster etc). Did you notice that the robot was a cheap little one after they had won it and instead of three gold pens Jim said they won two? They must have wished for a speedboat. Still ace though.
@@klawlor3659 On a serious note, some of the cash prizes on Bullseye weren't to be sniffed at. Can't remember what year it was from but I saw one pair win £840. For arguments sake, if that was 1989, that:d be two and a half grand in todays money. Factor in that stuff in general was cheaper back then and I reckon that would be enough for both parties to go on a decent foreign holiday
@@MosesDeLaRoses Can't disagree with that pal. First wages I was on back in the mid 90s (and this was considered "decent") was around £117 a week after tax and NI. Pint of beer was around £1.20, cigs were around £2.40 for 20. So anything over £150, up north in the 80s, would have been decent cash!
@@klawlor3659 I was born in 89, and I started smoking around 04/05. I can remember paying well under a fiver for twenty Lambert and Butler back then. A bit later around 2006 I could get in to the indie disco in Derby on a Wednesday for a pound, and I could get a pint of cider (I know I know, the folly of youth) for £1.50. Even on the more expensive nights, £2.50 was the going rate for a pint. My late grandmother would give me £30 for a night out, and there was always enough left for a kebab. 2006 think on, not exactly the dim and distant past. Above all, it's food that gets me. Certain items just make my brain explode. Literally the whole point of Heinz macaroni cheese in a tin is it's dirty comfort food, and affordable. Stick a bit of crispy bacon through it, and there's your dinner. Now Sainsbury's feel it's reasonable to charge you two quid for it
@@panigalecars3485 Ha! I refrained from reading the comments first so I'm sure you can imagine the tension in my kitchen when they went for the gamble!!!
Tony Green "THAT IS Thinking about it! " NO, IT WAS NOT !!!! He had 70 so just needed 31 and assuming, as the Darts player, he could and the dart between 2 Beds next to each other then EVERY date in "11" and "14" would do iy even if it was the lowest amount each time but going 10 and 15 meant he could get 3 x 10 and be one short so he got 2 x 10 then finally went for 11 or 14 both of which got him over the line and it nearly went in the "9"....haha
I don't know all fresh kitchen stuff not to be sniffed at .. Take today and Pointless. Jackpot can be £1000 BETWEEN them! A monkey each! Take you bought new clothes...day or 2 off work for filming and cost of getting to studios. Could be worse off by winning!🙄
@@stevebarker7552 You'd get most of your outlay back by winning a £1000 jackpot. If you didn't win it then you'd be totally out of pocket. I agree though, anything less than a £1500 jackpot between the two is maybe not worth winning.
I watched this and remembered my pink polo shirt! I wore this underneath my Bergerac Blouson and thought I was the Sh#######t when I stepped out of my Cavalier! 🙈👍🇬🇧
Look on his face when he realises it's not a car....or a speedboat 🤣 Hell of a syrup & tash combo in the audience just before the go for the star prize 😂😂

‘Mum can I have a robot like that?’ said no child ever.
🤣🤣🤣
We had that washing machine back in the day. And we still have a couple of the Saucepans.
That's what you called made of Sheffield steel 👊🥳
"You have to decide if you want to gamble all these prizes for Bulleys Star prize" that's what was said...one prize, not a combination of prizes. If they had lost I bet the car would have been shown as the prize.
They might have won all that but they didn't get a Blankety blank cheque book and pen.
I think the worst one I saw was two old fellas getting a £1000 voucher for designer clothing! Never seen such disappointment on two men's faces...
Best game show ever 👍
Brilliant program ,bring it back !
everyones dead though, even Bully
@@meisterlymanu5214I heard that Bully went to the Steakhouse after the show ended 😂
you heard wrong cos it didn't happen.@@BigRLH
@@sallyjoanit's a joke
oh right, hilarious, not!@@BigRLH
You’ve done it! You’ve exchanged a whole pile of crap for a slightly different whole pile of crap!
They haven't tho. They've won a pile of crap ON TOP of the pile of crap they won already
Nope they won money because if you read up on the show you could opt for cash instead of the prize.
Haha you can actually hear some old biddie going "ohh dear"
Did anyone notice no remote controls with the telly's . imagine that these days eh!! Lol
Notice the "child's robot toy" looked very different when it was with all the other prizes at 2.45. Bloody rob dogs. I bet Jim swiped the first one for his grandkids !
I noticed that aswell , the cheapskates
I noticed too! WTF happened?! hahaha
Jim B. prob swiped it… def. gives off the air of someone that didn’t like others getting more than him. So the star prize was a cooker, fridge and a microwave. They already won a washing machine.
Fun fact: Jim didn't have grandkids at the time of filming, he was only 36
@@MosesDeLaRoses36 yet looked 66!
That was the last bullseye they clean them out the show shut down & went "bankrupt"..🤣🤣🤣
This brings back some massive memories - sat around the table at Sunday dinner with this blaring out. For a minute I almost got that chap with the tache was that wanted murder suspect who had appeared on the show once.
The Welsh boyo with the curly hair and tash,he was 1 bad article,in the end a pair of his sons shorts broke the case,ya dunno who's out there blending in with society, frightening 😮
The cameraman was never very happy having to move away from triple 20
Very few hit that anyway.
Tony Green was the real star of the show with his amazing screen presence and amusing anecdotes
yeah right
After Big Break with Jim Davidson and John Virgo started, they tried to get Jim Bowen and Tony Green to ham it up in the same way at the start of each episode of Bullseye.
Best ones were when they won the special prize and their faces would be lit up until they dragged a beige Metro out and you could see their faces drop in the realisation of what they just actually won .
I actually owned a beige metro once! It was godawful!
@@allisonday893 my dad owned a broken beige metro .
And Bullys special prize... a Tesco delivery van!
Somebody recently bought the late Jim Bowens car,a super smashing great looking burgundy Bentley....Jim had good taste in cars 🚗
That’s the silver plated gold pens !! Lmfao 😂😂😂
Classic example of greed. It didn't occur to either of them to give the other contestants a chance to go for the Star prize. They obviously hadn't won enough in their minds.
So the big prize was actually some stuff from the prize board spread out a bit... (same washer, 14" TV and designer kettle & toaster etc). Did you notice that the robot was a cheap little one after they had won it and instead of three gold pens Jim said they won two? They must have wished for a speedboat. Still ace though.
By the time he hit 70 the £4500 star prize was back undercover in the storeroom.
£4500 in 1989 could have got you a house in Middlesbrough
@@MosesDeLaRosesit'll get you a house in Burnley now!
@@klawlor3659 On a serious note, some of the cash prizes on Bullseye weren't to be sniffed at. Can't remember what year it was from but I saw one pair win £840. For arguments sake, if that was 1989, that:d be two and a half grand in todays money. Factor in that stuff in general was cheaper back then and I reckon that would be enough for both parties to go on a decent foreign holiday
@@MosesDeLaRoses Can't disagree with that pal. First wages I was on back in the mid 90s (and this was considered "decent") was around £117 a week after tax and NI. Pint of beer was around £1.20, cigs were around £2.40 for 20. So anything over £150, up north in the 80s, would have been decent cash!
@@klawlor3659 I was born in 89, and I started smoking around 04/05. I can remember paying well under a fiver for twenty Lambert and Butler back then. A bit later around 2006 I could get in to the indie disco in Derby on a Wednesday for a pound, and I could get a pint of cider (I know I know, the folly of youth) for £1.50. Even on the more expensive nights, £2.50 was the going rate for a pint. My late grandmother would give me £30 for a night out, and there was always enough left for a kebab. 2006 think on, not exactly the dim and distant past.
Above all, it's food that gets me. Certain items just make my brain explode. Literally the whole point of Heinz macaroni cheese in a tin is it's dirty comfort food, and affordable. Stick a bit of crispy bacon through it, and there's your dinner. Now Sainsbury's feel it's reasonable to charge you two quid for it
Star prize Ken Barlows hi fi lol
You've won a spead boat! But I live in a top floor flat, Jim!😂
Thank God for that last dart - well done lads that was a big gamble but you did it
James Slingsby wow spoiler alert! :(
@@panigalecars3485 Ha! I refrained from reading the comments first so I'm sure you can imagine the tension in my kitchen when they went for the gamble!!!
Norton1531 oh man, I can bet it was a dye of your seat stuff? Imagine being in the crowd!
They wouldn't have made it out of that studio alive if they'd blown it
@@tonyyeboah21 it's a fair bet half of the studio audience didn't if the exits were at the top of those stairs
That reminds me I’ve got to do a tip run soon🤪
“Where’s the freakin car? “ was a quote from the bloke in the blue trousers
I always wanted a little colour telly.
I had exactly one of those portable stereo which started chewing up tapes in the end but it did last some time.
They thought the star prize was a speed boat or a car lol xxx
The "star" prize should have been a mini skip to throw all the crap you've won into.
Tony Green "THAT IS Thinking about it! " NO, IT WAS NOT !!!! He had 70 so just needed 31 and assuming, as the Darts player, he could and the dart between 2 Beds next to each other then EVERY date in "11" and "14" would do iy even if it was the lowest amount each time but going 10 and 15 meant he could get 3 x 10 and be one short so he got 2 x 10 then finally went for 11 or 14 both of which got him over the line and it nearly went in the "9"....haha
Percentage darts pays off. I do wonder however if that red television is collectable now...
They should remake this show for 2024.
Thats some top prizes for back then, damn that last dart was pressure 🙈🙈
Great to hear decent in the audience, OAP's kicking off.
I’m still to this day trying to work out what was Bully’s star prize 😳
A hi-fi
When hi-fi’s were hi-fi’s with the manual graphic equalisers!!😂😂those were the days!!
2 washing machines and 2 shitty tvs I’m estatic now all in a landfill near Sheffield 😂
My parents used to have that sort of tea set... so 80s and god it looks old now
Looking back to when this was on. At the time the prizes was brilliant and now. Watching this
In 2021 I realised that the prizes was crap🤔
I don't know all fresh kitchen stuff not to be sniffed at ..
Take today and Pointless. Jackpot can be £1000 BETWEEN them!
A monkey each! Take you bought new clothes...day or 2 off work for filming and cost of getting to studios.
Could be worse off by winning!🙄
O RLY? I bet you make a cup of tea manually in 2021? Wouldn't be wasting time with that if you had won yourself a TEASMAID on Bullseye! 🎯🤓👍
@@gtbfilms7472 ye while
Playing with his pound shop crap bully,
@@stevebarker7552 You'd get most of your outlay back by winning a £1000 jackpot. If you didn't win it then you'd be totally out of pocket. I agree though, anything less than a £1500 jackpot between the two is maybe not worth winning.
Great star prize! Includes another washing machine! One each!
So funny when the star prize comes out and it's a load of left overs from previous shows LMAO
Convinced they had two star prizes at the back, anyone too greedy, or clever got shafted.😅😅😅
Compact Disc !!!! Is that what CD's were called in the olden days ??
They should have won a digi player😃
I watched this and remembered my pink polo shirt!
I wore this underneath my Bergerac Blouson and thought I was the Sh#######t when I stepped out of my Cavalier! 🙈👍🇬🇧
Nicely played. I wondered whether there were two of each prize or the contestants had to agree who had what.
Look on his face when he realises it's not a car....or a speedboat 🤣
Hell of a syrup & tash combo in the audience just before the go for the star prize 😂😂
syrup?
...of figs.@@scottchegg828
