The beloved darts-themed quiz show that captured the nation's heart is officially returning to our screens, with ITV confirming the much-anticipated revival date for Bullseye.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 25th, when the iconic programme makes its triumphant comeback to the broadcaster that made it famous. The show will air during ITV's popular tea-time slot, perfectly positioned for weekend family viewing.
What to Expect from the New Bullseye
The revamped version promises to maintain the classic format that made the original so memorable while introducing fresh elements for modern audiences. Contestants will still face the challenging general knowledge questions before testing their accuracy with the darts.
Fans will be delighted to hear that the famous catchphrases, including "Super, Smashing, Great" and "You can't beat a bit of Bully," will remain central to the show's charm.
A Nostalgic Trip with Modern Twists
While the core elements remain faithful to the original that ran from 1981 to 1995, producers have promised some exciting updates. The prize fund has been significantly increased, meaning contestants could win substantially more than the famous speedboat that became synonymous with the show.
The new Bullseye aims to capture the magic that made it Saturday night must-see television while appealing to both nostalgic original fans and a new generation of viewers.
