Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

I never really liked the Dave Spikey version. Or the specials with Alan Carr, which just mocked the format. There’s a rumour afoot that this is coming back. It’s going to be hosted by Paddy McGuinness so I’m not hopeful it’ll be any good. The landlord of my grandads local pub was on this and always kept his Bendy Bully on a shelf behind the bar. A work colleague of mine knew someone who got to the final round. The big doors that the start prize came through led out to the car park. They decided not to gamble on the star prize because they didn’t want it. They already figured out it was going to be a camper van because when they arrived at the studio they saw it parked outside!

If you can find it (on a podcast I think), there is a hilarious story about two Irish men who appeared on the show. They finished last on the first round, and not thinking they were going to be on again literally drank the complementary bar dry. As it was the other two teams decided to stick with what they won, and yep the Irish blokes were asked to return even though they couldn't stand up straight. Story just gets funnier in the production team trying to get them sober so they can continue.

@@HalfdeadRider I said the way I think of it is an internet accent, Americanised is true but there's only a British internet accent that's just vague and dull. For American accents that is having the same affect in the states, you'll find less and less southern accents in the south because of kids who spend all day only Interacting with people online and the same for new England etc. I'm sure you've heard the accent I am talking about the "like, whatever" slurring of words accent with internet slang like fr and bruh thrown in. In the UK we have or had a ridiculous amount of distinguishable accents, each unique to not just people but culture and local traditions. That's something that's rapidly dying in society due to the internet, lack of real social mixing and immigration. You're fine to think it's just how people sound so who cares, I totally get that. But I find it sad and maybe it's because I'm born in Liverpool lived in Yorkshire for 20 years that my families accents are all common and broad as they come, but to us, they mean something. I can say things that only local folk understand and it's why we used to get along better before the web.

"JUST a Housewife" as they, quickly, dismiss her and move on...there was gem after gem there "Keep them close to your chest" after the "ditties" comment, and the second woman hinted that there were other "things" should no longer do with a screw in her knee which is why Jim said, "You'll get us taken off the air"...

If you’re looking for things in a similar vein, I can heartily recommend Big Break. It’s a very similar premise to Bullseye, only it was snooker and on the BBC. The presenter, Jim Davidson, has since shown that he has pretty much ever prejudice under the sun, but that came to light after the show went away, so I just go back to that childhood zone of blissful ignorance when I see old episodes. Both Big Break and Bullseye are right up there with the likes of Countdown, Catchphrase and Wipeout (a daytime game show) for me when it comes to classic game shows and 90’s nostalgia.

When I was growing up in the '80s, prizes on British game-shows were things that money could buy. At some point, that changed, and now the prizes are money. You can no longer win a car or a holiday (and not even a boat or a caravan); now you win cash. I don't know whether or not the prizes back then were donated to the shows as a form of advertising them, or bought by the production company to give away, but cash prizes that don't typically exceed a few thousand pounds are probably more convenient to transact and less of a drain on the budget. It felt more exciting when, if you could Play Your Cards Right, you would win an Austin Maestro; now, if you get some Pointless answers, you will win enough money to buy a share in a moped.

My abiding memory of Bullseye was the eighties trope of showing large quantities (in terms of number of notes, not the denomination) of cash, here sticking it in pewter tankards. The sitcom Bread had a set piece of all the Boswells paying cash onto a collection plate before meals. And, of course, Harry Enfield's loadsamoney character.

Nostalgia is at a dangerous level. Loved this show as a kid and still watch it to this day. The Bullseye fruit machine was brilliant too. I'm on the look out for one. Would make my house seem so classy haha.

I met Jim Bowen once in the mid 1980s as a (late) teenager and was unbelievably rude to him, just trying to be a clever sod. Decades later, it's one of those things that torment me at 3.am.

Hi Alanna,people were more open minded and open hearted in those days,unfortunately a lot of what occurred on Bully back then would probably be frowned upon today. Thank you for taking me back in time it was certainly an eye opener.cheers Roly🇬🇧.

The thing I remember about this show is the daftly inappropriate prizes people used to win, e.g., a motor boat and trailer won by an aquaphobic person living in a small flat on the tenth floor, miles away from any kind of water, without a garage, garden or car park to keep it! Jim: Smashing! Great! Super! Just what you always wanted? Despondent contestant: Yep.

I still love to watching Bullseye from time to time, people from my generation X/Millennial grew up watching this and some other awesome Saturday night shows. Try Big Break with Jim Davidson "I'm famed for my aim so you better put up a real good fight, I'm gonna be snookering you tonight".

Got into your show last week when I was laid up with a bad cold, and I love it! 'Where do we even begin?' I know that's a rhetorical question but honestly, I begin (and end) with the words: 'It was rubbish!' Jim Bowen was a pretty funny guy, mind you, especially since he played it so straight. Apparently there are plans to start it again in the wake of a resurgence of interest in darts. I must admit looking at it here was hilarious, mainly as the minor prizes were so cheap. Where did you get the pound shop bit? Veronica said she was a punch operator which was someone who entered data into a computer by punching holes in so called punch cards. Did it myself as a very junior psychology researcher. NIce use of 'Oh, go on, then' by the way. Alanna, if you haven't already, please, please do a show on The Golden Shot, which was Like Bullseye but with crossbows! The first round was by telephone and a blindfolded camera man using a crossbow attached to his camea, who was directed by contestants from their homes thus: 'Up a bit, left a bit, bit more, FIRE'. Successful contestants came to the studio and used actual crossbows. Health and safety, eh?

I still watch Bullseye on Challenge TV every once in while. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger. Great show.

I loved watching Bullseye as a kid with the family. As others have mentioned, you should check out Peter Kay's routine about Bullseye! It's hilarious!

How has she not already seen it when she repeats most of his jokes in this video. Surely you don’t believe a Canadian has thought up those jokes herself do you?

Many fond memories of bullseye on a Sunday night, before my bath. Jim was s legend and the prizes were hilarious. Can't ask much more than that. Check out Peter Kaye's impressions of Jim and bullseye. Bloody hilarious!

Was not expecting that - Alanna helped through a tough time by binge-watching repeat episodes of Bullseye - love it!

Bullseye as therapy. Great idea force people to watch it and watch unemployment plummet!

Darts on tv aren't really a thing here in Canada. I think the sports channels aired darts as a time filler when they didn't have live sports.

The HILARIOUS thing about this show was telling the Downhearted, Despondent and Disappointed contestants "This is what you WOULD have won" just to give them a kick when they were already down. lol NOW WATCH that "LAME" clip again, very SLOWLY, and that was hysterical with lines like "The Wife ?" "JUST a Housewife" as they, quickly, dismiss her and move on...there was gem after gem there "Keep them close to your chest" after the "ditties" comment, and the second woman hinted that there were other "things" should no longer do with a screw in her knee which is why Jim said, "You'll get us taken off the air"...

Great channel .'Bullseye' British comedian Peter Kay grew up with these shows and often poked fun at them in his observational way. It is interesting as you see them today with the changes of society fashion etc. Often Peter Kay using that time warp and changes as fuel for his comedy.😎 Many years later I believe Peter Kay in 'Phoenix Nights' actually brought in the host of this show in act in his comedy show.
