BULLSEYE SCORES FULL SERIES ON ITV FOLLOWING REBOOT SUCCESS

ITV are set to commission a full series of classic gameshow Bullseye after the success of its Christmas special, consolidating to nearly 7 million viewers and becoming on of the most watched shows on ITV over the festive period.

Bullseye is one of the UK’s most successful and best loved family game shows which sees three teams compete for prizes. Each playing team is 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, whilst answering questions correctly for ‘points and prizes’. The Sun newspaper reports that after the positive reaction to the one-off special, the show is set to return later this year.

A source told The Sun: "This was a no-brainer for ITV but they knew that a big part of the success of the Christmas special was down to its new host. So they've spent the past two months trying to convince him to take the plunge and it looks like Freddie is ready to make the commitment."

Elsewhere, Disney+ and Freddie Flintoff have teamed up for an untitled Original documentary film (1x90’) with exclusive access to the former international cricketer and broadcast presenter, produced by South Shore. 

The Disney+ Original documentary film will look back at Flintoff's incredible life and cricketing career that saw him win two Ashes series with England and become a national sporting hero, whilst charting his life today and return to cricket following his life-altering car crash in 2022. 

Bullseye Christmas Special is available to stream now on ITVX and ITV's YouTube channel.
