Not sure what to make of this. Been a while since the original and I remember watching it.
Television Bullseye to return with Freddie Flintoff hosting
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
Corden to play Bully.
From cricket to boxing to darts. It's cool to see that he's now been involved in two highly exciting and athletic sports. And cricket.
Best be speedboats to win
I'm glad he's back on tv. He was brilliant on League of their Own. Once he left, I lost interest.
I'm glad he's making a return to TV because it presumably means he's recovered enough from the horrific facial injuries.
He’s already done one series after his time out. Flintoff’s Field of Dreams. It’s excellent. He seems to be still quite messed up by it all. Doing a light entertainment quiz show next is a strange choice. But I guess he has to earn a living.
For people who live in the middle of Birmingham. And also a Ford Fiesta which they have to share between two families.
Won't be the same unless the wads of cash are still being handed out.
Plus a speed boat attached to a ford fiesta, with some plastic patio furniture on the roof and a TV/VHS Combi stuck to the dash.
And a conservatory for the apartment.

And they live on the tenth floor.
edit - actually, why did they ever give out speedboats as prizes? I mean, you have to know what you're doing to operate one of those, and then you have to have somewhere to store it. I guess it would be in the conservatory fixed to your tenth-floor flat.
I have a vague memory of stuff trundling along a conveyor belt that they could win? Or was that a different game show?
I think that was the Generation Game with your man with the chin.
Yes, back in the days when an electric blanket and a fondue set were objects of desire. Bruce Forsyth and then Larry Grayson - Grayson was a far better compere than Forsyth, I thought. He was brilliant.
I was just thinking what would be the contemporary equivalents. PlayStation and iPads would be too expensive, surely?
An Airfryer would definitely be there. Sodastream, maybe? Actually aren’t they Israeli? That would never work.
Not forgetting camp Larry Grayson “shut that door”, “look at the muck in here”
Can't beat a bit of bully.
Airfryers for sure, amazon echo speakers, fitbit watches that kind of thing. Also one of those blankets with sleeves and a microwavable hot water bottle thing.

That's the middle isle in Lidl.
Someone more quick-witted would do better .…Jimmy Carr or Tom Allen.

They had a deal with a speedboat company or something apparently, very cheap and free marketing.
Don't think you actually needed any training/licence to fling one about on a lake, sure we always used to hire speedboats on lake Windermere when I was a kid and my dad was 100% not licenced to drive one, I mean, he let me go at the wheel when I was about 7 or 8.
Please god no. Least funny person on television.
Wont get another Jim though 
That’ll be Joe Lycett …no contest
I'd rate lycett above Allen purely due to the good he does, or used to do, for the plebs. Allen just appears to have won a competition of some kind.
Carr's been more insufferable than either for about 15 years now.
Flintoff seems an okay pick, I don't think it's something that would go beyond a couple series even with the perfect host though. Just some fun nostalgia for people of a certain age.

Supermarket Sweep with Danny Dyer is my next pick for a TV revival. He could co host with De Gea.
Find him on ‘8 out of ten cats’ very witty.
Each to their own, it’d be boring if we all liked the same thing.
Keep out of the black but in the red
Nothing in this game for 2 in a bed
They'll obviously still have the categories history, general knowledge and spelling etc.
Special guest professional throwing for charity and was it 101 with six darts non dart player to go first for the jackpot.
Always followed at the end with take a look at what you could have won!

It won't get a second series. The shit prizes and Jim Bowen made Bullseye. It's been shit every time they've tried to bring it back (I think this will be the third time)
The show will absolutely bomb if the female darts players don't look my neighbour across the road who looks like a bulldog who swallowed a wasp.

chewing a wasp I think the phrase is
In my neck of the woods, the nomenclature is swallowed.
Alas, I confess it may have strayed from original phrasology!
