ITV's revival of the classic game show Bullseye, hosted by Freddie Flintoff, has drawn criticism from viewers just minutes into its first episode. The show, which aired on November 9, follows a Christmas special last year and features teams of a dart thrower and a quiz partner.
Fans took to social media to complain about the shortened theme tune and the absence of the original introduction. One viewer wrote on X: 'Please don't cut the theme tune short! #Bullseye,' while another asked: 'Why not use the old introduction? The nation would smile and feel warm inside.'
Audience clapping also sparked irritation, with many viewers finding it excessive. Comments included: 'Why are the audience clapping when they pick a category?' and 'Too much audience clapping in this new Bullseye.'
Despite the criticism, some viewers praised the reboot, with one stating: 'I'm enjoying it for what it is and I love Freddie Flintoff.' The four-part series also features Master of Ceremonies Richard Ashdown and darts star Luke 'The Nuke' Littler.
