Bully is back! And he’s going on a tour of UK theatres this
autumn with some of the greatest ever darts players. Together, they’ll be
joining members of the audience to win the contents of his prize board!
All the faithful elements of the historic ‘80s gameshow
will be recreated with some competitive darts thrown in as well, as the legends
renew old rivalries!
Bullseye
was first made for the ITV Network in 1981 and ran from 1982 until 1995. The
show was watched by around 17 million viewers in its primetime Sunday slot and
remains part of many people’s childhood history. Repeats of Bullseye are
currently aired on the Challenge Channel, which is part of the Sky Platform.
John Lowe
won the World Darts Championship title in three different decades - 1979, 1987
and 1993. He achieved the ultimate feat in darts in 1984 when he managed a nine
dart finish - the sport’s perfect game! This was the first time this had ever
been accomplished by any darts player while being televised.
As well as his three world titles,
John also won two British Open Titles, two British Matchplay Championships, two
World Cup Singles and three European Cup Singles Titles, as well as countless
other titles around the world in a hugely successful career. He played for
England over 100 times and was captain for seven years, during which time his
team were unbeaten.
Eric Bristow
won his first World Darts Championship in 1980 and so began a decade’s worth of
domination, in which he would retain his title in 1981 and win it again in 1984,
1985 and 1986.
Bristow emerged as the most
successful and consistent darts player of the 1980s, reigning as number one in
the world from 1980 until 1987. As well as his World Championship exploits,
Bristow also lifted the prestigious World Matchplay Crown no fewer than five
times. He was a winner of the World Cup Singles on four occasions together with
countless other major tournaments including the British Open and Swedish Open
three times each, and the North American Open on four occasions. Bristow, known
as the “Crafty Cockney”, was awarded an MBE for his services to sport in 1989.
Bob Anderson was world number one for over
three years in the late 1980s. Nicknamed “The Limestone Cowboy”, he threw his
first darts maximum (180) at the tender age of five. He tragically
broke his arm whilst training for the 1968
Olympics - an injury that
brought an end to his javelin-throwing career. Anderson has had a long and
successful darts career, winning the World Championship in 1988 and the World Matchplay in 1986, 1987 and 1988 - the first man to win the Masters in three
successive years. His ranking stayed sufficiently high to earn automatic
qualification for most major PDC tournaments, and he went on to reach the
semi-finals of the World Championships in 2004 and 2005. In 2008 he decided to
take part in the League of Legends which was shown live on Setanta. He went on
the capture the title, beating Keith Deller in the final.
