The fella who answered the question correctly had clearly been winding up the other guy, the way he has his back to him and the way the fella punches the air in his direction, absolutely fantastic
Jim Bowen was a legend. I remember watching Bullseye and him talking to contestants like he was genuinely interested in them. One that sticks out is "Is there much work around where you're from?", this at a time of massive unemployment in the UK.
"One of the most expensive questions ever. It's worth £180" I used to get asked 'Have you worked in the past 2 weeks?' when signing on That was a pretty expensive question if I gave the wrong answer
Same, but you always knew the bloke who signed on after you hadn’t bothered to look for a job and was lying through his teeth would get his dole money no problem 😂
Millions of us got asked the same Question every two weeks, and even though there was a painter and Decorators van outside, and lots of fellers signing on wearing Overalls covered in paint.
I was on an episode of Bullseye filmed the same day as this episode. They were a decent set of lads on both episodes, unfortunately we gambled and lost, but each couple chipped in a £10 per couple so myself and my partner got £25 each so it wasn't a case BFH (Bus Fare Home). A nice gesture and totally unexpected.
@@senarphis No I was answering the questions, though I was also a regular dart player at the time. I scored 1, treble 20 bounce out, 1, so only scored 2!!!!
@@LogoMan7777 if you were knocked out in earlier rounds and returned to the final as a result of the winners declining the gamble, you only had the money to offer as you'd not been on the prize board
@@brendanomeara5544 it was a shame you hit treble and it bounced out I think if you'd done left hand side decent score they must have filmed two shows per day I'd love to have won because in some cases £310 people thought it was a lot of money how after the previous show till you were on it for filming
Me & my family used to watch this in the 80's on a sunday and me & my bro used to say "get 2 in a bed and get kicked in the head" and "you can't beat a bit of bullshit" etc lol then later watched antiques roadshow then lovejoy. Ahh them were the days.
Oh, jesus, so did me and my brother!!! couldn't help but take the piss out of the stupid answers that were given! I've gotta ask you, did you watch that stupid show 3 2 1 with dusty-bin, and laugh like a drain when they won the brand new dustbin??? I know we did!!!!
Don't think it would work these days, all the banter and smart questions, it would be all flashy graphics, some PC anodyne twat as the compere and questions like What's 5+5 lol 😂
That question - it's the sort of thing we were taught at school back in the 60s/70s. I doubt that, nowadays, 1% of the population would know the answer. They'd probably answer "he logs on to Twitter and tells everyone?"
i love how weird the people look on this show, i watched one with a guy who looked like he'd been a heavy drinker for 30+ years, only for him to say he was the junior darts champ of his village and he was only 17
They didn't look "weird" they just looked like normal people in the 80s. It's today's people that look weird, with tattoos, piercings, and their weird constantly offended upset attitudes.
watch to doc when Jim tells the story of the 2 Irish fellas that came on and cleaned the joint out. it's hilarious. They couldn't even air it because they were a pair of gorms and kept swearing whole time also. 😂
The celebration is funny, but take note of the difficult question on a daytime quiz show. Prime example of how far intellectual standards have fallen. The dumbing down has accelerated in the past 20 years
Not sure but was my main man who limped off at the end wearing a pair of grey umbro tracksuit pants? Either that or 100% polyesters. I tried to describe how great Bullseye was to my 10 year old. In the end I showed her this clip. She doesn't understand why I'm crying with laughter. I grew up in Bradford, but she was born in Sydney Australia...
The thing about the shows in early 1980s, game shows we limited by the value of the prizes by governments, then they loosened legislation, Still brilliant to watch , loved Jim sadly missed.
If we are to believe Jim’s anecdotes the outfit who produced Bullseye were pretty happy with those limits. He made them out to be a bunch of tight-arses who grudged giving away too much on prizes.
@@BlookbugIV that was tongue in cheek.....look at the game shows from the 70s and early 80s, they were on,y allowed to give prizes up to a certain value. Later on the rules were relaxed, so then we got millionaire, the big prize lotto games etc, Bullseye played up to the fact the prizes were rubbish a bit like blankety blank and so on.
@@damianleah6744 I remember there was a ceiling on prize value back in the day, was a stark contrast to what we’d see on clips from American gameshows. But I was referring to the stories he told about what went on behind the scenes, decades after the show ended. He could still have been exaggerating for a laugh, but he painted a picture of an outfit very careful with the pennies.
Tell you what when Jim passes away the legend, first place I would be checking if I were his mrs is his suit pockets for all that lost bullseye money 😂
I’m 53 and wouldn’t have a clue how an MP resigns? I’d guess speak to PM or Queen but that’s obviously not what he said! I’m a Geordie and couldn’t understand his answer. Also too drunk to Google so will allow RU-vid too inform me of corrrct answer once I wake up tomorro. Brilliant show. You’ve won a speedboat. I live in Gloucester! You’ve won a conservatory. I live on the 19th floor.
This clip: How does an MP resign? *says something unintelligible* You've won! Yay! Fist pump! *Buggles/Darts Man combo walks off in weird limpy half baked way* Absolute gold😂
My favorite show is the one where the couple who came last with just £40 go for the gamble & the wife lobs a treble 18 & a treble 19 & they win the star prize with just two darts..... magic
Id say his mate was at the correct excitement levels for this particular engagement, you should check youre equipment as it seems youre excitment detector may be acting up with a reading like that
