Bullseye presenter Jim Bowen dies aged 80 | ITV News 

This man was a legend. In the late 90's I was in a supermarket up in Lancaster.... I couldn't afford my shopping, and had to embarrassingly ask if I could only pay for what she says on the till. Next thing I know, as I walked out of the shop, a man tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a bag of shopping. He said, "You forgot this"... Anyway, it turned out that Jim Bowen was behind me in the line, and he bought the rest of my basket, out of his own pocket and sent a stranger out to give it to me. I'll never ever forget that.

RIP to a super smashing great gameshow legend. He died 3 years ago but he is still remembered :)

Sad to see Jim so poorly. So many people loved his shows and that is a wonderful legacy to leave.

Him and his show were never replaced properly

Jim was Mr Bullseye and I still watch the repeats at 5am to 6am ch 48 freeview while working nights (I'm the boss!) RIP Jim and thanks, you were great, super, smashing.

Moo, RIP. He was so funny & presented a great show in it's time.

The Greatest Love you'll ever learn is to help people feel happy thank you Jim Bowen

Loved Sunday nights back then. Thanks Jim

R.I.P Jim Bowen you will be missed 😢😢😢

A great host and very, very funny too. Proper old school. Hope he's resting in peace!

Rip Jim Great man

I was only a boy when Bullseye was on, but it was still a joy to watch, even if I didn’t understand everything.

Still love to watch repeats of Bullseye, Jim Bowen was. a true character with lots of wit. Jim also did many things to raise money for Charities around Britain. He is timeless and will be loved by many for a long time.

I met Bowen and Willie Thorne at a event. Bowen died at 80, Thorne at 66, and recently Tony Green at 85.

R.i.p super smashing great

Gone but not forgotten!❤
