Bullseye Returning to ITV

The British game show Bullseye is returning to ITV, with Freddie Flintoff as presenter.

ITV commissioned a one-hour Christmas special, in which each playing team will be made up of an amateur dart player, known as the thrower, and their team partner, the knower. They will combine their skills, throwing darts at different game boards while answering questions correctly for points and prizes.

12 Yard Productions is producing.

Flintoff said: “’I love the darts, and Bullseye was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Can’t quite believe I’ll get to host this Christmas special. You can’t beat a bit of Bully!”

Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime commissioning at ITV, said: “Bullseye is back, and we can’t wait to welcome Freddie Flintoff back to ITV too. It’s a real treat to have both as key parts of our Christmas schedule on ITV1 and ITVX this year.”

Michael Mannes, managing director of 12 Yard Productions, said: “We are delighted to have acquired the rights to Bullseye, one of the most iconic game shows ever. And the timing could not be better considering the popularity of darts. Freddie is the perfect host for it, and we can’t wait for the show to be back on ITV.”
