    Re: You can't beat a bit of Bully

    Not much else going on at Sunday tea time. There was no sport on TV, the pubs were closed. Everything was closed. I remember going to see bands occasionally on a Sunday night and town was completely dead. Maybe the Wimpy Bar on St John Street was open. Queen Steet was completely dead. You had to wait until 7pm for that little bar around the corner from the Lexington to open. Sunday Funday had not yet been invented.

    Being on there can backfire a bit if you're a serial killer from Pembrokeshire.

    My cousins (2 brothers) went on Bullseye and won a 4x4.

    Indeed. Good series the Pembrokeshire murders. The man is pure evil.

    Really?
    The top prize was a bit hit and miss but generally it was something which you couldn't share or impractical like a speedboat.

    I remember at work next day chatting about what you'd done or watched on the weekend, as you did, and everyone just laughing at how bad the whole show was from the presenter to the prizes, the set.
    Those kind of shows were based on not just the chance of getting the dream prize but had a finale to look forward to, in this case the two darters getting 101 or more.

    This particular episode didn't even have that as the three sets of contestants took the money! The last two a whole 200 quid to be split!
    As if Sundays weren't bad enough, we were robbed of the BIG finish!

    Sundays were just awful weren't they?
    That said at least one could recharge the batteries. No day of rest these days for many.

    Why did the good darts player always choose a partner who was crap at darts? Can't be difficult to find someone who knows general knowledge and can also hit the 20.

    When I first moved here, (1992) all the shops were open on Sunday and all the bars and restaurants too. And of course, people went out to bars on Sunday afternoons to watch the NFL. There's no such thing as a traditional Sunday dinner here, people would be out at noon drinking and eating in bars all day. It was so weird to me. I remember thinking "why don't they do this on Saturdays?"

    Jim Bowen comes on as his reserve.

    The unruly crowd weren't best pleased.

    He lasted 5 minutes before he walked off.

    I know shame I missed it

    Imagine though, getting all excited at going to see one of the most iconic, un-politically correct, no holds barred, God knows what he's going to do next comedians and Jim "never mind, come and see what you would have won" Bowen walks out
