Bit of a bummer to peg it on the same day as Stephen Hawking. Media coverage will be (rightly IMHO) somewhat underwhelming.

The contestants have just lost and he rubs their noses it it and flashes a new car or speed boat at them and says here's what you could have won!! Probably made them sit in it also before giving them a dustbin! Great entertainment! First Ken Dodd, now Jim Bowen, the tv icons of my younger days are disappearing fast! RIP
Probably true.
No, a comedian being funny would get laughs, racism was just always cheap. Racists are still able to laugh at proper comedy.

RIP Jim. Loved Bullseye as a kid on a Sunday afternoon.
He looked like he was on his last legs back when Bullseye started in 1981

Saw him live at the Edinburgh Fringe about 10 years ago as he did a live show that incorporated a bit of live Bullseye. Was very funny bringing back some great childhood memories watching the show.
Bullseye must be the only Sunday tea time quiz with a serial killer named after it.

RIP mediocrity off the telly when we only had three channels
And you felt the need to share that on this thread......serious lack of respect
I think de mortuis nihil nisi bonum is an inappropriate adage. He showed a serious lack of respect when mocking someone for the colour of her skin, completely inappropriate behaviour

I'd rather watch Bullseye than some of the garbage on freeview .... Two and Half Men, The Kardashians etc. etc. At least Bullseye was funny

It was of a certain era, watching the shows now does show Britain has changed a lot since the 80's

Stephen Hawking and Jim Bowen dying on the same day. I see they kept to the rules that the non darts player goes first.
