Bullseye, one of the UK’s most iconic gameshows is making a comeback, returning to ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm on November 9th. Host Freddie Flintoff will oversee a test of intellect and coordination alongside scorer Richard Ashdown and all-star darts professionals.

Produced by Potato, the ITV Studios label behind The Chase, Bullseye sees three pairs of contestants, each containing an amateur dart player (the ‘thrower’) and their team partner (the ’knower’), compete against each other. Teams test their skills at throwing darts at different game boards whilst answering questions correctly for points and prizes. Progressing through the show, three teams are then whittled down to one final pair who can go on to risk all their money and prizes for ‘Bully’s Mystery Star Prize’.

The entertainment format is one of the UK’s most successful gameshows. The original series regularly pulled in audiences of up to 10 million viewers for ITV at its peak between 1981 and 1995.

The new version, hosted by Flintoff, drew more than 8 million viewers across three transmissions for a Christmas Special in 2024, leading to a full series being commissioned for 2025. Bullseye will air weekly for four episodes, plus a Christmas Special.
